Educational/Content for Grin

1

Hi everyone,

This is a new thread about generating educational content for Grin and helping to contribute to the project. As mentioned in the earlier post, I have worked on other crypto projects (albeit in non-technical roles) and have done content and outreach for the project (Sarcopahgus). A couple of things I’ve learned from the +2 years working with them are that:

  • There are tiers of users and what they want from content and I think how you choose to go about content drives the type of users you’re trying to bring into the fold.
  1. Developers/builders - Usually attracted to projects by interesting uses, technical challenges and/or chances to make good on tokens/coins
  2. Believers In the Cause (What I’ll call probably most of the people actively engaging here) - They can see the reason why a project exists and believe in it. More of a pull than a push from them to be involved
  3. Miners - For PoW projects, there are always those looking to earn from mining and (like myself) eventually gain interest in what a project stands for
  4. Users/Speculators - They are two distinct groups but I group them together because most attempts at trying to grow users also attracts the speculators as well. So a double-edged sword.
  • We did outreaches to college blockchain groups which usually were greeted with positivity and setup through cold messaging them online and just asking to speak at one of their meetings. You’d get a good mix of technical questions as well as questions about work or jobs

My personal opinion on how to start/where to build content and/or educational material would be aimed at developers/builders and also already existing communities that have similar appeal to privacy projects from the main top 10 chains (ETH/SOL/etc…). For the developers showcase some of the cool features of Grin and show how easy it is to contribute. For the other appeal group build material explaining how Grin works and how it can used to safeguard assets and/or be used to enable privacy on DLT.

@Anynomous and @transatoshi tagging you as well as you had some comments about what to do and all.

Once I get a good idea of where to start I can write up a more formal proposal and see if others agree.

Thank you for your dedication to the project, and if you look at grin from my point of view, I will introduce the uniqueness of the grin project.

  1. Absolute fairness, no pre-mining, no halving (no special consideration for the interests of the early adopters)
    2.The most important innovation of Bitcoin is not the so-called decentralization, nor P2P, but the fact that Bitcoin is a “deflationary currency”; And Grin is the opposite of Bitcoin, and Grin is an “inflationary currency” that conforms to long-term developmentalism
    3.3. Code elegance, scale, and extensibility (what other technologists like ardocrat told me.)

感谢你对项目的付出，如果从我的角度来看grin,我会介绍grin 项目的独特别性。
1.绝对的公平，无预挖，无减半（不特别照顾前期参考者利益）
2.比特币的最重要革新，并不是所谓的去中心化，也不是p2p，而是bitcoin是一种“通缩货币”；而grin是比特币的对立面，grin是符合长期发展主义的“通胀货币”
3.代码的优雅和可扩展性(ardocaft等其它技术人员告诉我的。)

Yeah lots of lessons learned from that project… the founder did a great job raising funding for the dapp but wanted to do no real marketing of it and wanted organic growth… also since we were built on ETH and launched during NFT craze of 2021 fees made using the dapp super costly. I left the project early last year and have not been active with any projects… I would suggest reading about the project though the ethos and principles around it are very cool and aligned with the privacy space just some bad luck and probably poor decisions led it to not really getting pmf…
