@NervosNetwork GROUP
bogy Scavangerr:Nervos is building interoperability with Bitcoin. When achieved, developers will be able to deploy Bitcoin transactions on the BSN
Toma:Btw did some desearch into exchanges. Coinbase dont charge a listing fee. Binance - the projects I checked (Tezos, Cosmos, Algorand, etc.) paid 0. Kraken - not 100% sure, but I dont think they charge one either. So the whole argument against these exchanges (we better use the money for development) no longer holds. So the reason they are not listing us must be the lack of awareness, community and hype around the project, no?
Toma:knwang Kevin, in your interview with Tom and Dragonfly you mentioned how critical the community is, how much you believe in it and so on. In Nov / Dec last year we had a chat on the Nervos talk forum and you said you would ramp up marketing efforts and so on. And last but not least Matt mentioned the success or failure of this project would be a community effort. Could you please let me know your thoughts about awareness, marketing, community, etc. and why - 100 mil usd and 9 months later - this group feels like a ghost town compared to others? Is it because you are failing at the above? Or it is not the right time yet? Or there is a lot going on in China we dont know about? I know a good project when I see one - I was an early investor in Chainlink, Zilliqa, Tezos, etc. and I still believe you guys are one of the best teams in the space and most promising coins. But I have rarely seen a project with such potential execute such poor marketing in terms of exchanges, awareness, community growth. No offence, but I feel like this type of opinions should also be shared. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Jok Post:we dont know the details of that yet, bsn will go live on 10th of august. we will see ,)
Jok Post:exchanges seem to get pickier. Kraken only added 3 coins in the last 8 months. Coinbase added 6. Gemini added 3. Binance just has to get paid. Still dont know why ada isn´t even on coinbase, but they release a "we will look into these assets" every view months with around 20 assets and add maybe 1 or 2 of them after a long period of time
luis:not kevin, but i have some thoughts about your comments…
thinking of marketing and community in terms of “exchanges and awareness” makes me think that in your eyes the goal of a project should be to get listed by exchanges. perhaps there’s something to that thought process, more visibility means more potential users, more dev awareness, and perhaps even more conversation to liven the social channels. i think there’s some assumptions being made that things aren’t moving behind the scenes, though, i think matt’s gotten on here and told the group that we’re actively in discussion with “all the top exchanges” — this still stands.
i have a more holistic view on community and feel excited when i look at the grants being developed, the relationships being forged with the grant teams and other teams/communities (and other teams in the space i.e huobi chain, grin), and the exciting things that are being ideated and spec’ed out.
there’s little doubt in my mind that there will be a turning point when it comes to awareness. i know its not exciting to hear, “we’re in talks”, or “we can’t talk about x, y, and z yet”, or “coming soon”, but these aren’t empty words and if there’s on thing i know about the team/culture: talk is cheap. i do think there’s more that can be done specifically around not making this place, “feel like a ghost town” though, it’s something we've discussed internally and would welcome any thoughts specifically around stuff that would make this place more fun/engaging place to spend time in.
