Dear firo community

Dear Firo community,

I’m reaching out to address an important issue that affects us all. While Firo has impressive technology, we’re facing a challenge with visibility in the broader crypto space. It’s time for us to come together and take action beyond just voting on proposals and commenting, though these activities remain crucial.

As $FIRO holders, we all have a vested interest in seeing our project succeed. To achieve this, we need to increase our visibility and grow our user base. This is something we can accomplish by working together and actively promoting Firo across various platforms, especially on social media.

Our Guardians program is a great start, but we need more widespread participation. Every community member can play a role in spreading the word about Firo. When privacy coins are discussed, we should ensure Firo is part of the conversation.

Other privacy projects have cultivated strong followings, often referred to as “maxis.” We need to foster similar enthusiasm within our community. By becoming vocal advocates for Firo, we can attract more attention to our project.

Projects like Monero, Zano, Zcash, PIVX, and many others have active communities on X (formerly Twitter) speaking on behalf of those projects. They consistently include their projects in all privacy-related conversations.
Unfortunately, those of us who should be doing the same for Firo are often nowhere to be found.

We have at least 50 people here who are very active on the forum. Believe me, if we were to channel the same energy to X and other platforms, Firo would be performing much better. Remember, the crypto market is heavily influenced by sentiment, crowd followership, and visibility.

We have superior technology – now we need to match that with strong community presence.

I’m calling on each of you to become more active in promoting Firo. Share updates, engage in discussions, and highlight Firo’s strengths whenever relevant. Together, we can significantly boost Firo’s profile in the crypto space.
Let’s work together to ensure Firo receives the recognition it deserves. Our combined efforts can make a real difference in Firo’s future success.

This is a call to action for all of us. Let’s take our passion for Firo beyond our internal forums and showcase it to the wider crypto community. By actively participating in broader discussions about privacy coins and consistently highlighting Firo’s strengths, we can significantly boost our project’s profile and attract more users and investors.

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to Firo.

Thanks for this initiative @Lil-King!

I think what would be helpful to jumpstart this is to create clear call to actions. I think a lot of people wouldn’t mind helping but needs to be like ‘hey we need help here!’ rather than a general call to action.

These polls have re-ignited participation and discourse in our community and I would love to keep this going through nice easy community initiatives!

For instance i think the Helping with Firo website translations thread is a good place to start.

Related to Marketing, it seems that Certik audit score gives some visibility to projects and is a good marketing point.
According to the website (https://skynet.certik.com/projects/firo), Firo score is quite good and could be improved.
Currently, we have 152 votes and at 50000, the audit is free.
Could we maybe add this subject to the Guardian program?
By promoting Firo and privacy through support with votes on the Certik website?
Have a nice day Firo fam

Worth a try though Certik has suffered a huge reputation loss.

I didn’t know. At least, they know their subject :sweat_smile:
