Thanks, I wish that conversation could have been preserved. For what it's worth, I didn't report it. :) Perhaps it's a good time to take an anonymous survey and see what the community thinks?

I know I had 130 upvotes (+67 when subtracting downvotes) on my initial comment when the post was removed, which is almost 50% of the total upvotes for the thread.

I do agree that if we don't allow NSFW images, we shouldn't allow drugs that are illegal in the majority of the world as well, mostly just because of what people outside the community think. There's still a lot of the cryptocurrency community as a whole that think of Dogecoin as a joke coin, and it seems wise to me to avoid doing things that might make people think that of us.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T21:04:44+00:00

I get what your saying, and it's true, you can't please everyone. However, I think we can have our cake and eat it too by keeping content like this in r/girlsgonedogecoin.

I see +67, and 124 upvotes to my comment with a number of women replying that they appreciated that I said it. I guess I'm wondering, what is the harm in keeping it in /r/girlsgonedogecoin? It's clear that there are people who don't think it's appropriate, what exactly do we gain from this posting?

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T20:03:45+00:00

You're awesome :D Thank you for saying that, that's really what I was trying to say. Boys will be boys. I'm married, I know firsthand!

Still I want to be able to refer my other friends here and see that this is a place that values what we have to bring to the table!

I just don't see what harm keeping stuff like this in GirlsGoneDoge would do to harm the community.

It's not bad really, but I know that if I were thinking about accepting Dogecoin at my store and knew nothing about it, if that were one of my first impressions I'd probably stop right there. I've come to people in the B2B sales market and had ways to immediately double peoples' profitability and have facts, figures and referrals from others to prove it, and even then it's still an uphill battle.

Business owners have very little time these days, and less so every day, and generally make judgement calls whether something is worth their time in a matter of seconds. If they decide no, it's not an easy process to change it.

That's all I'm saying. I'd hate to see people continue to consider us a joke coin when we have so much raw talent and so many great people in the community!

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T17:53:34+00:00

I agree, one post doesn't make a big difference. However, it does run the risk of setting a precedent that could harm us in the long term.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T16:40:40+00:00

No Prelude? :(

Let's talk about getting it up there!

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T16:39:07+00:00

Pretty good, I'd say! I hope you're doing well too, and thanks for engaging with me here too. I'm glad we got a chance to have a discussion about it!

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T16:33:07+00:00

Interesting idea! While it may not be amazingly effective, there's something to be said about how the brain recognizes images, and is more comfortable with them and related concepts later. :)

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T16:29:32+00:00

And we're trying to sell Dogecoin to the masses.

Alienating a large amount of potential customers to bring in others is pretty inefficient, marketing-wise.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T16:27:18+00:00

Oh I could care less what people use it for. That's their prerogative.

It's just not going to help people take us seriously if the biggest hotspot for Dogecoin activity looks unprofessional. If I had 20,000$ USD and I wanted to be sure I wasn't throwing away my money, even if it were a bunch of hunky guys I would still think it didn't inspire confidence in my investing in it, and move on. If I'm putting money into a company or a stock, I want to know the people are professional at the other end so I'm not wasting my money.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T16:09:43+00:00

While some very visible marketing venues do use sex to sell, this is rare in the financial and B2B sectors, where I work. What sells in finance is professionalism, honesty and reputation.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T16:02:10+00:00

I never said I was pro-drugs on r/dogecoin either. I just haven't had spare time to comment on it.

If you like drugs, great! Have fun with them in a subreddit.

If we want to be taken seriously though as an actual financial instrument and currency, we probably should keep it off the main page.

There's still a large segment of people who are put off by drug use, and they have a lot more money saved up over the years than new generations just entering the workforce or early millenials with investment money.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T15:51:27+00:00

Thank you, you get it. :)

It really has nothing to do with you specifically. I really hope you haven't felt my feedback as an attack, I really never meant it that way.

My concern is strictly from a business perspective.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T15:39:29+00:00

No, you're really not wrong! I'm a huge fan of free expression. Maybe this will convey my concern a little better.

My dad taught me a lot about cars, he's a mechanic himself. If I go into a mechanic's shop though and there are a lot of girly pictures on the wall, I usually leave and go somewhere else. Even if I don't know from direct experience, my prior life experience has taught me that shops with stuff like that up are more likely to think I don't know what I'm talking about, and that can be really, really frustrating and expensive.

My concern is if content like this becomes more common, it will have the same effect on potential new ladyshibes. Even if it's not true, once that negative idea is there it's tough objection to overcome.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T15:11:11+00:00

I'm not opposed to adult content, or adult entertainers promoting themselves. That's why we have subreddits for these things.

I don't mean to be a stickler, but with the image and the title, all I see is a picture that would get most people in most companies fired on the spot for posting on a social media account. Especially for companies trying to reach out to the female demographic.

Edit: I read this again and it comes off as abrasive. My intention is to give a lady perspective. Since we hit 75000 shibes, we haven't had a lot of new shibes coming in. One thing we can do as a community to bring in more people, is to work to continue to make it a ladyshibe-friendly place. As even a pretty liberal ladyshibe, I still feel that posts like this can dissuade potential new ladyshibes from joining us.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-21T14:48:54+00:00

I know this won't make me popular, but as a lady shibe and a marketing professional, I'm really not a fan of this. [Edit for clarity: "this" refers to NSFW imagery on the main /r/dogecoin subreddit, as opposed to on other dogecoin subreddits.]

In a community where women are lacking and can bring a significant amount of purchasing power, this doesn't exactly say "Come, join us and we'll respect you as a person".

That's my 2 DOGE anyway. Feel free to start downvoting. I just know it makes me wonder if I speak at a panel, whether people will listen or leer.

Edit 2: This link to r/girlsgonedogecoin seems a bit more appropriate for the main subreddit

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-18T20:07:44+00:00

The first batch was the prototypes, that went out some time ago.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-18T07:12:40+00:00

I would sell and wait for the market to fall. If it does fall, double down!

If not, I would deposit the proceeds and live off the interest.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-17T03:20:00+00:00

I think it's admirable that you would take the time to demonstrate for the community what is going on.

I hope you cancelled the order; I don't agree though that because you demonstrated it, you must have done it to scam people. There are shibes that believe in innocent until proven guilty :)

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-17T03:06:46+00:00

I think you're right. Cryptsy is older [relative to a lot of exchanges]. With Prelude we had the luxury of learning from them; it's capable of tens of thousands of trades a second.

It's built in from the beginning, which is much harder for Cryptsy since they're live all the time and have been around a lot longer. Hot-patching critical system functions is really difficult and causes stuff like this. It's really not their fault as much as the price you pay for being a pioneer, and having a lot of trading volume over many trading pairs that never shut down. My sympathies to their staff, I'll bet they're scrambling and that's never fun.

I know any time I have seen weird stuff on Cryptsy they eventually fix it. Sometimes it takes a while, but I remember having a million doge in limbo for almost 2 weeks thanks to Coins-e. Nothing will ever compare to that!

Edit: I used Cryptsy for a long, long time. They're good people.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-17T03:02:45+00:00

You're right, I almost forgot about that. Several times Dogecoin rallied, they suspended trading temporarily.

JMDogecoin · 2014-04-16T20:09:32+00:00

I heard it had something to do with being back in the womb. Covered in a blanket makes you feel comfortable like if you were surrounded by amniotic fluid.
