The current popularity of FIRO is too low, our community is not active enough, we need to strengthen the publicity to attract more people to join us, so that we can build a community beyond DOge.

I would most certainly like to see more activity and a stronger community. What do you have in mind?

We need to promote and enhance the value so as to attract more peopleās attention. The current value is too low, leading to no attention. We can seek for cooperation with some well-known enterprises or celebrities, so that more people can see what we do. Then we need to think about more applications, such as early anonymous voting.
We have been advertising that FIROās technology is at the forefront, but it doesnāt seem to be seen by more people at present. We need more publicity so that more people can discover us and adopt FIROās technology. Just like blockchain technology, the future development of Web3 at present includes privacy. Is there any consideration as to whether FIRoās technology can contribute to the evolution of Privacy in Web3?
Most celebrity endorsements require a lot of money with questionable results though unless they truly believe in it. Do you have any inroads to any of them?
Question: where are we in terms of adding exchanges because we sure do need more. Most trading sites like Primexbt, Bybit etc. donāt even offer Firo as a pair. I personally sent emails to the exchanges I use to get listings for Firoā¦ The community fund may help with this also in the future.
I would encourage the whole community to request kindly every opportunity that presents itself that Firo be added. All people Iām in contact with now also hold Firo besides Zcash and Monero simply because i explain and made comparisons. The question after I explain to them how Firo works is āhowād I miss thisā.
Also our target audience is fans of Privacy coins Zcash and monero alike, we should be in every zcash monero conversation in all social media at all times with picture rebuttals easy to post comparison charts ect.
Or perhaps most Firo supporters are similar to me in that I do not use social Media at all.
When firo begins a āpumpā people canāt even fomo buy because there are no exchanges that offer Firo as a pair other than Binance. I for one would add on the way up, however this is not possible currently.
Of course, it is not to spend money on celebrity endorsements, which are the most unreliable. We should let them see the good side of FIRO, take the initiative to hold FIRO and speak for it.
We need more exchanges, only more exchanges can let more people see firo, and now we have from XZC firo instead, so know XZC before, now do not know what is firo, the most famous is Thailand XZC vote that, for example, the application of such vote, We can participate more, and even help some organizations vote for free, so that they can use FIRO to conduct elections, which will be a good publicity for us, right? It is not enough to just stay in our community, and we will not let people know about FIRO at all. We must have practical applications, associations, companies and institutions that are willing to help us publicize and use FIRO. Firo canāt be just money. Itās too one-dimensional and too limiting to the development of the community.

As for the FIRO vote award, I personally prefer that the community and the team can have more awards, because in this way, the community can have funds for publicity and activities, and the team can better serve FIRO.

FYI.
Iāve sent out 3 emails since April 1 2022 requesting exchanges add Firo trading pair. I will continue to do what I can when I have free time. I would kindly ask everyone to do the same.
Bybit PrimXBT and Bitget.

Interesting post here, not saying we should pay influencers, but it looks like most of these people are for sale and just promote what they are paid to promote.
I mean my other post basically goes into those realities (Reality of exchange listings, attracting institutional investors and influencer marketing

I would argue that the price of Firo is exactly right. Why? Because the market decides what the value of Firo (and every other coin) should be. Also, the price might be lower than youād like it to be because itās not getting a lot of attention, not the other way around.
I just visited the mining section here for the first time a few minutes ago, and I was very surprised to see that thereās very little activity going on there. Iām wondering if thatās because there arenāt that many miners or that miners donāt care enough about Firo to post on the forum or if thereās some other reason. Given that itās so easy to mine relative to something like bitcoin, Iād think people would want to chat about it.
Personally Iām not a fan of shilling coins, even if theyāre your favorites. I see a lot of Youtubers doing that, but the fact is that there are over a thousand altcoins out there, and most of the time there arenāt any real-world use cases for them or, in many cases, differences between them.
What are the selling points for Firo, really? What can you do with it other than hold it and hope it goes up in value? OP, isnāt that what youāre basically doing, or do you use Firo for useful things?
Oh, Iād also like to say that I was reading the masternode āhow toā section of this site, and itās clear that no one edited it before it was published, because while itās not written in completely broken English, there are grammatical mistakes, unclear sentences, and parts that are just unnecessary. Granted, Iāve seen writing on the home pages of some altcoins that was atrocious, but what kind of an impression do you think poor writing makes on someone who visits a coinās website to get more information? Maybe you donāt care one whit, but to me it leaves the impression that the dev team is lazy, careless, sloppy, or worse.
Please note that Iām not attacking whoever wrote the masternode section for their comprehension of the English language. I do think that whatever gets published on the home page ought to be reviewed by someone who knows how to write properly. If youāre going to go through the massive effort to create a coin and bring it to market, doesnāt it sound reasonable to make your coinās website as close to flawless as it could be?

Main thing you can do is you can send it anonymously as Firo is privacy coin and this is main feature.
Dev team is working on Elysium, so there will be possible to have different tokens (it could be used also for stable coins) using Firo excellent privacy.
You can test Elysium on testnet.
Neither of those things sets Firo apart from other coins on the market that can do the same thingsāand the token function isnāt even a reality yet, so Iām asking in the present tense how one would hype up Firo to someone who didnāt own any.
The masternode feature is a great thing, as is the privacy. But again, the altcoin market is just glutted with coins that donāt have anything truly unique. If anyone is wondering why Firoās price isnāt climbing, I think thatās the reason.
Reuben, Iām only 1/4 joking when I say this: maybe if you came off as a crazy person when you did interviews, youād attract more attention to Firo. Kind of like Justin Sun with Tron and people like Roger Ver in the early days of bitcoin, or like the Doge creator who made that statement that he no longer wants to be involved with the toxic culture of crypto. Wildmen and people who make outrageous and/or give inflammatory sound bites for the crypto media attract a lot of attention, which paradoxically is beneficial for whatever coin theyāre backing. I bet the only reason TRX isnāt trading higher is because thereās too much supply.

Ok. We have truly unique ticker. FIRO. No other altcoin has it.
What are your unique features you would expect from privacy coin?
I personally very much like the concept of Elysium and believe it can attract many people who simply doesnāt like idea that anyone can see all their activity and holding of their ERC-20 address.
What on Firo of those non unique features made you to join community?
Iām not familiar with what Elysium is other than what you described. Iām assuming there are no other coins with smart contract capability which are completely opaque, as Iām gathering Firo will end up as if the Elysium thing is implemented? If thatās correct, then Iād say Firo would have a winning combination.
Listen, Iām just an old contrarian crank. You should see some of the stuff I post on bitcointalk.
As to what drew me to Firo: it was a byproduct of me getting into GPU mining. As I became more familiar with all of the GPU-minable coins, Firo kept popping up on the websites that I was looking at (like whattomine, minerstat, and a bunch of others) and it was one of many that I researched.
What appealed to me was the ability to run a masternode, something Iād long wanted to do but didnāt because I couldnāt commit to some of the masternode coins that were affordable, like PIVX. For me to run a masternode, my heart really has to be into the coin. I basically have to be in love with it. Not in a sexual way, you understand; Iām not that kinky. Firo was GPU-minable, had privacy features I liked, had a relatively low price, and also only requires 1000 coins as collateral.
I also kept seeing Reuben on Youtube talking to seemingly anyone who would listen, and that told me that Firo has some passionate devs, which I find to be reassuring. You never know with some of these altcoins. Their websites might look as slick as the backside of an Intel CPU, but if the coinās been abandoned by its creators thereās a good chance of it tumbling into the 1-satoshi graveyard on Yobit.
Thus, if you interpret everything Iāve been writing as trolling or attacks or the like, youād be very much mistaken. Iām being critical because Iām starting to fall in love with Firo, which I just mentioned is a necessary condition for me to run a masternode. Iād like certain things about it to be better (like the core wallet for instance, which would look so much better with a dark mode, fiat values, and a few other things), so my grumpiness is simply an unusual expression of affection. I wish I could offer help, but I have almost zero to offer people who are on a dev team. You wouldnāt even want to ask me to write a single line of code, as Iām illiterate in all computer languages. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

I think the argument is āfor what reason would one want to send it?ā i.e. what can you buy with it? The coin(s) that will win long term will have an answer for this. (Note: I donāt think this is something for the Firo project can or should solve, other than implementing any missing pieces to help support applications trying to solve it)
A trivial example of this is ecommerce applications: how many of them have integrated crypto as a payment option? Is Firo one of them?
It seems that most focus on getting coins listed on exchanges, which is fine to buy and sell (typically for the purposes of speculation) but this only tangentially addresses uses cases in the form of giving people a way to get into or out of the coin. It doesnāt address what they can do with it, that actually keeps them in the ecosystem, once they have it.
