The CC Sub offers interested parties the ability to interact with our community by burning Moons. The options are as follows:

Banner Overview:

The CC Banner is the NonSkippable Banner displayed at the top of the CC Sub, for both Mobile and Desktop Reddit. It allows your project to display themselves through a visual that everyone sees when they go to the CC Main Page.

For more information see the in depth overview here: CC Banner Overview

Event/Giveaway/AMA Overview

The Event, Giveaway, and AMA category has the most unique users of any option on the CryptoCurrency sub. Importantly all of these topics take advantage of one of two unique sticky slots to pin your post on the top of the CC sub for a given number of days.

You can use this option for pretty much anything that our sub allows. It could be a stand alone link to something you want people to see, a giveaway, a project introduction, an AMA, and many other things.

For more information see the in depth overview here: Event, Giveaway, AMAs and other Overview.

Guest Post Overview

A Guest post is a fully customizable self contained post. Guest Posts are live for six hours at a time and are subject to the upvote/downvote system of Reddit.

For more information see the in depth overview here: Guest Post Overview

Guest Comment Overview

A Guest Comment pins a top comment on EVERY NEW POST of the CryptoCurrency sub over a 24 hour period (excluding posts about Sub Supporters). This means that for posts created over a 24 hour period your Guest Comment will be the first comment users see when they scroll through the comments.

For more information see the in depth overview here: Guest Comment Overview

Guest Poll Overview

A Guest Poll allows you to ask a single question and have readers choose from between two to six possible answers. Once Posted your Guest Poll will be pinned on the top of the CryptoCurrency subreddit and be live for 24 to 72 hours.

For more information see the in depth overview here: Guest Poll Overview

CC Supporter Overview

The largest and longest commitment to the CC Subreddit is the CC Supporter option. This option allows you to be listed for a year as a supporter of the sub at the cost of 60 days of the Banner, and comes with the various perks.

For more information see the in depth overview here: CC Supporter Overview

If you are interested in any of these options message the moderators of CC using this link.

The largest and longest commitment to the CC Subreddit is the CC Supporter option. This option allows you to be listed for a year as a supporter of the sub at the cost of 60 days of the Banner, and comes with the following optional perks:

• Seven days of the CC banner to use as you like
• Two AMAs/Events during the year at no cost.
• One Sponsored Post per Month at no cost.
• An automated customized pinned top comment on every post you are a subject of.
• Potential 50% discount on some banner rentals.
  • If it is within 7 days of an empty banner day you can rent the banner up to 7 consecutive days at a 50% discount.
• Increased visibility for your project in multiple places on the CC sub.

Once an entity becomes a CC Supporter they will keep their spot in the increased visibility section of the CC Supporter List until they fail to renew or someone above them fails to renew.

Guest Comments are the most expensive and arguably most effective single day option that CC offers.

A Guest Comment pins a top comment on EVERY NEW POST of the CryptoCurrency sub over a 24 hour period (excluding posts about Sub Supporters). This means that for posts created over a 24 hour period your Guest Comment will be the first comment users see when they scroll through the comments.

Similarly to Guest Posts, Guest Comments should be completely self contained and have everything in it that you want the viewer to see/click. They can contain: text, graphics, and links.

Would you like to conduct market research on a CryptoCurrency focused demographic and are comfortable with Convenience Sampling? Than a Guest Poll could be perfect for you.

A Guest Poll allows you to ask a single question and have readers choose from between two to six possible answers.

• Your question must be less than 300 characters and fit in the post subject
  • You can add to your question in the text field of the poll but this information will not be immediately visible to those voting and many will vote before seeing the additional text.

Once Posted your Guest Poll will be pinned on the top of the CryptoCurrency subreddit and be live for 24 to 72 hours.

Alternatively if you opt for a 72 hour window, you can run up to three questions each for 24 hours.

The comments on your poll can be locked so users are not able to discuss the question in the comments, or the comments can be kept on.

The results of the poll are not visible until one of two conditions have been met:

1. You have voted in the poll
2. The voting period on the poll has ended.

You can view the results at any time after voting or by waiting until the voting period ends.

CC Moderators are not able to guarantee a specific number of votes for your poll, we are only able to guarantee the amount of time we will distinguish it on our sub. (1-3 days)

If you're looking for the cheapest Option on the CryptoCurrency Sub, a Guest Post is what you're looking for.

A Guest post is a fully customizable self contained post.

Importantly a Guest post:

• Does not allow comments
• Is not stickied

As the post is subject to the voting system on Reddit - visibility of a Guest post can vary greatly (usually between 5,000 - 30,000+ views) . To try and maximize visibility it's important to create an engaging Guest Post that you think someone would upvote.

--------------

How Guest Posts work:

There are a total of four Guest Post slots every day, each slot lasts for 6 hours, and they are never ran simultaneously.

At the end of the six hour period Guest posts are deleted from the sub. Advertisers can purchase a single six hour slot or run an extended campaign and purchase every slot for an extended period of time.

As the post is up to advertisers to customize. It should contain things like:

• Details of your project and engaging images
• Links to your project that you want viewers to click
• Links to socials if you want viewers to contact you

The primary viewers of your Guest Post will be CC users browsing the new section of the subreddit. Running an extended campaign will allow you to continually reach out to this changing audience over the course of the day/multiple days.

Important Information for Events, Giveaways, AMAs, etc...:

• These posts are pinned at the top of the CC page. Meaning every visitor to the sub will scroll past them when looking at hot posts on CC.
• Events are usually pinned for 2-3 days.
  • (Future Governance will likely establish a pricing range for shorter/longer events)
• It is not unusual for a pinned post to get over 100K views in 2 days.
  • Of course total views depends on the topic

___

Tips for having a successful Event, Giveaway, AMAs, etc...:

• Give Readers a reason to engage: competitions, giveaways or other incentives go a long way for creating engagement.
• Do More with Less, although it might seem like a good idea to lay out all of the details for your project - a huge wall of text will often result in viewers ignoring - or skipping your post after clicking on it. Stick to the highlights and add a couple links where users can go to learn more about your project.
• Add structure to your post: Pictures and clear section separators help to keep readers engaged with your post.

The CC Banner is the NonSkippable Banner displayed at the top of the CC Sub, for both Mobile and Desktop Reddit. It allows your project to display themselves through a visual that everyone sees when they go to the CC Main Page.

Example of a CC Banner:

The CC Banner does not contain clickable elements meaning it should be treated as a visual display only. Although entities could consider adding URLs or QR codes to the banner if you want to redirect viewers somewhere.

The cost of the Banner is based off the following elements:

• Traffic in the CC Sub
• Price of Moons
• Total amount of Banner Days Booked

Yeah just curious. And so then it made me think, hm, where would I go if I wanted to rent the banner (I don’t). But I don’t see any links for it.

Do we not give a clear path for potential advertisers to inquire? Thought we’d have a form or method in place. Do some people who just know about it just reach out to the mods?

Edit: u/mvea responded below, thanks! But while we’re here, any info on our banner rental process I can’t even begin to find on mobile. Shouldn’t we be making this an easy, straightforward process?

Like a tab “Banner Rental” with a calendar of available slots and “contact us”

I posted a rough idea in this sub about a Moon marketing campaign before, and believe that I have enough of it workout to have it voted on by the community.

I posted the full version here, so you can click the link if you want to read it in full. I will try to summarize it here. The campaign has the working title of "Moonrise".

The basic idea is that we need to organize a paid marketing campaign for Moons to be successful. I believe that would could borrow Moons from the Moon distributor to pay for a company to set up a professional marketing campaign for Moons. I have some potential cryptocurrency companies that we could contact and we could also vote on how much to spend on the campaign. I roughly believe that it will cost at least $5000. We could also maybe have a giveaway with Moons. The campaign could advertise the return of Moon distributions to the main sub.

More details would come if we approved this proposal and get an offer from a company.

View Poll

Currently, the calculation is done by generating a number that directly translates to a set quantity of Moon for the cost of the banner/ama/sponsorship/events.

Which means that the amount of Moons stays the same, but the USD value wildly fluctuates.

​

Proposal:

Use a similar calculation, but generate a quantity in USD as the base number, so the Moons owed to pay for the banner/AMA/etc.. would be based on a set USD value, regardless of Moon volatility.

So instead of having the price of the banner being set as 7896 moons, and having sponsors pay whatever fluctuating USD value it is that day, it would be set at say $2,600, and the sponsors would pay whatever amount of Moons it takes to have $2,600 worth at the time of payment.

​

​

Problem being solved:

Banners are currently calculated at 7,896 Moons.

Cost in USD last month at peak Moon price: $6,158

Cost in USD now after the drop in price: $1,816

The volatility is causing big price discrepancies, despite traffic and views steadily going up.

​

View Poll

I posted this idea in the r/Cryptocurrencymoons subreddit, but thought maybe that it would be better suited here.

I think that Moons need a marketing campaign to promote them and take the first step in turning them into a multi-platform CryptoCurrency. Instead of burning all of the Moons received from renting places like the banner, we could sell them to pay for advertising on Twitter. I think that this would be a good way to hype up Moons and make them look more like a legitimate CryptoCurrency.

What does everyone think about this?

As we can already see on the r/CryptoCurrencyMoons sub, where they started relaunching distributions, it's becoming a quantity game again where people are just churning out as many post as they can.

​

Proposal:

Distribution is calculated by taking your 2 highest posts and 8 highest comments, to determine your karma score.

That's UP TO 8 comments, and up to 2 posts. It doesn't matter if you have no posts or fewer than 8 comments. It's the average that counts.

​

Purpose:

This will make spamming and low effort quantity farming much less fruitful, and kind of pointless.

It's like they say to artists, you're only as good as your best work.

So even if you got some of your content downvoted, it won't matter. Your best upvoted stuff is what determines your distribution.

This will also close the gap between newbies or casual users, and heavy farmers and karma maxxers. Because quantity is discarded, and the top comments and posts are averaged out.

How it works:

The only thing that will matter is your 0-2 best posts and your 1-8 best comments.

You get an average karma score for those posts and comments that have positive karma ( 0 and negative don't count).

Your average comment karma is multiplied by 1.5x.

​

Your post average and your comment average are then averaged out into your final karma score. So it doesn't matter if you only comment and didn't post.

​

That's the karma score that determines your share of the distribution.

​

Examples:

-Keighleigh's 8 best comments got 10, 8, 22, 37, 16, 4, 3, 6 karma (we could use upvotes if karma data is unavailable).

Her best 2 posts have 120 and 16 karma.

Comment karma average: 13. Final comment score: 13 x 1.5= 19.5

Post karma average: 68

Final distribution score: (68+19.5)/2 = 43.75

​

-Gobi only had 6 comments with positive karma and they were 2, 1, 1, 4, 3, 1.

Gobi didn't make any posts. Final score= 3

​

-Jeighson's best comments had 189, 19, 11, 3, 8, 7, 14, 9 karma.

Jeighson had no posts. Final score= 48

Notice how this also solves the top comment lottery issue.

​

-Condo-Lee's best comment had 22, 16, 4, 12, 2, 3, 5, 2 karma. For a comment score of 12.

Condo-Lee's best posts had 281 and 48 karma. Averaging 164.5

Final score= 88.25

​

Formula:

((Comment average [only with positive karma and maximum 8 of the highest] x 1.5) + (Post average [only positive and maximum 2 of the highest]))/2 =Karma score for distribution

​

View Poll

Problem

Unorganized timing for pinned events, some events events get less time being pinned, others get more time and usually the events stays pinned for 3-4 days.

Solution

Event length is 48 hours, advertisers can extend that by burning more Moons, each 24h extension = 50% Event price.

Examples:

24h Event = 50% Events Price - 0.5x

48h Event = 100% (regular price) - 1x

72h Event = 150% Events Price - 1.5x

96h Event = 200% Event Price - 2x

I understand moons distributions are (or may) be resuming soon.

I thought it could be a great opportunity to immortalise this community becoming independently managed through the release of some CC avatars.

My thinking is as follows:

• we invite members to contribute designs (must be original to have a chance of being accepted by Reddit)
• could also commission existing RCA artists to make a few designs for us
• vote on top three, and desired mint allocations and cost
• RCA creator contributions go into themoondistributor or another community wallet providing an enduring source of income based on sales volume
• potential future utility for the RCAs in CC subs, such as free special memberships (ability to set custom flairs and use GIFs), etc to be determined later

I anticipate a few rounds of voting:

• endorsement to proceed with the idea
• shortlisting designs
• agreement to mint allocation and cost

What does everyone think?

I’m happy to oversee this initiative with the mods.

Last Moon Week the community voted to increase event pricing by 300%, and institute dynamic pricing for banners based on demand. Both were reasonable proposals based on pricing and demand at that time, unfortunately everybody was voting based on inaccurate data. After voting was complete a bug in the calculator was discovered that was keeping base pricing low, and once fixed base pricing for both events and banners increased by ~100%.

Rather than run an emergency governance poll or switch back to pricing in line with the polls the community voted on, the pricing was left where it was. As a result we have had only one AMA booking since, which is a large drop off in activity compared to before when pricing was lower. You can view burns for events and banners here:

https://nova.arbiscan.io/token/0x0057ac2d777797d31cd3f8f13bf5e927571d6ad0?a=0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead

I propose we retain the original algorithm set in CCIP-043 along with CCIP-082 for banners, but drop the base price by 50%. Similarly I propose that we drop the base price for events by 50%.

I would also like to include in this proposal that if in the future there are further bugs discovered in the calculator that the price should reflect what the community most recently voted for, and not an arbitrary number that was arrived at through error.

Current pricing

Events: 3,150 Moons

Banner: 7,896 Moons

Pricing if this proposal passed

Events: 1,575 Moons

Banner: 3,948 Moons

Although Sponsored Polls from CCIP-063 have not yet been used on CC. I think they have a lot of potential. They just need a few rule Clarifications/Modifications.

I am proposing the following three rule changes or clarifications:

1. Sponsored Polls are pinned for the extension of their purchase period.
2. Sponsored Polls have an optional Comment Lock that can be placed. If comments are enabled the purchaser is required to have minimum engagement.
3. Clarify that if an entity wants to rent for 72 hours - they can do up to 3 questions (one question every 24 hours).

Reason for #1

Users are able to conduct polls on CC. Getting a sponsored Poll through the CC Ecosystem provides no additional benefit for the entity if it is not pinned.

Reason for #2

Sponsored Poll writers may not want users discussing the results and guessing the purpose of the poll. If they want to disable comments they can.

If comments are enabled Sponsored Polls are not intended as a cheap way to have an AMA. The entity conducting the poll must have minimum engagement in the comments

Reason for #3

Currently a Sponsor can purchase a sponsored poll slot for 24 or 72 hours. If they choose 72 hours they might not want one question. As such we are clarifying entities can ask up to one question every 24 hours. So 3 questions on a 72 hour rental period.

----

These Changes are Aimed to make Sponsored Polls more desirable for potential entities.

​

​

Sponsored Posts need clarification as to what happens to them after the six hours are up. The options are:

• Leave them up after six hours
• Remove them after six hours

CCIP-069 is not clear on what should happen to Sponsored Posts after the six hour period. As such if we take it at face value we should leave sponsored posts up after six hours. I am proposing that we remove all sponsored posts after the six hour period.

Hypothetically if a single advertiser purchases every sponsored post slot over two days, and uses the same template for every post. Than there will be eight identical posts on the sub over that two day period as a result of the sponsored posts and they would all be up at the same time.

This hypothetical situation does not sound enjoyable to sub viewers and as a result is not ideal. In order to prevent this problem we could remove duplicate sponsored posts and keep one off sponsored posts - however this solution is not consistent and presents multiple potential problems for advertisers who purchase multiple slots such as:

• You are encouraged to only purchase a single slot so the post stays up for longer
• If we remove a hot post in favor of a new sponsored post slot, it could actually result in less views for the advertiser.

In order to prevent these problems and to be consistent I am proposing that all sponsored posts are removed from the sub after six hours. This way all advertisers will be treated consistently and we are not prioritizing one off sponsors who get to keep up posts for longer. Additionally if we remove a hot post in favor of a new post it isn't hurting the sponsor as that is what would happen regardless of the amount of slots that the advertiser purchased.

This clarification in rules will allow us to better advertise sponsored post slots and will allow us to treat buyers equitably regardless of the amount of slots they purchase. (currently we either risk spamming the sub or treating one off sponsored post purchasers better)

Hi all,

We are working with a company legalnodes to pursue the formation of an entity to manage the MOON operations of the subreddit, which I did a bit of a rambling overview of last night here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1b5w04t/well_be_live_on_youtube_at_9pm_est_to_discuss_the/

You can find an article by this company and a downloadable copy of their DAO constitution template here:

https://legalnodes.com/template/dao-constitution-token-foundation

Template:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JtcIhta_Ku9oIR-0VkOlZ9PSCNzUkqlY/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113691632111310567113&rtpof=true&sd=true

At our current status, I think we want to move forward with DAO LLC formation in the Marshall Islands (though we should have an official vote on this). Assuming we are going this route though, we need to draft a DAO constitution, pick a smart contract basis for our DAO (maybe these guys https://daohaus.club/), and then draft an operating agreement and articles of incorporation (that reference the constitution and our smart contracts) to form the entity in Marshall Islands.

The first step is the constitution, which is what this thread is about and why I provided the links above.

Some important things I believe we need to discuss and vote on related to this document:

• What constitutes membership? Is it simply holding MOON, or is it earning+holding MOON?
• What operations are covered by the DAO? Banners and AMAs? Distributions and calculations of? Moderation itself?
• With respect to distributions, I believe we definitely want to mention them, but I think we really can't be too specific, but we need to define them in some way, and also decide if newly earned MOON will carry more governance with some exponential decay (or some other way to try and offset a lower number of MOON being distributed).
• I think we should specify some intent to expand beyond Reddit here.
• Treasury management, bookkeeping, taxes and fees, etc. Who handles this? Do they get paid? (Do moderators get paid if moderation is a covered activity of the DAO?)?

I hope that we can use this thread to try and generate ideas and make sure we're not missing anything, and we are thinking about being too specific or too general. I believe we should vote on most/all of these issues as we are consecrating them into a constitution, and I know people want to get this done asap so let me know what your thoughts are, and hopefully we can use this as a starting point to begin a series of votes over the next few weeks 🌕

Anyone else catch this? Should be obvious right? Advertisers aware of the change being implemented to banner cost and have basically just booked it at the cheap cost.

K so be it, but this new banner dynamic pricing model kicks in today, right? Voting should be ending correct?
