Free2Z's Video Strategy
Free2Z recently started a new experiment: requesting that the community create many extremely short videos about shielded transactions for a bounty pool of 50 ZEC:
This is a trial of a new approach which emphasizes iterative feedback, granular rewards, agility, and constant engagement. By rewarding quick, creative efforts, we can create a continuous flow of content, vital for staying relevant on fast-moving platforms. This model not only boosts Zcash's visibility but also creates a dynamic community interaction, where creators are motivated to innovate and refine their messages. The strategy's agility allows for rapid adjustments based on what works, ensuring Zcash remains a prominent topic. Hopefully, as this material gets uploaded to various platforms and remixed, Zcash can own its own search term on popular platforms.
Here are some of the early results.
Danilo Barreira made a great introduction to why Zcash is important (less than 70 seconds):
Show Danilo that you appreciate his efforts by sending him some Zcash!
Here's a video in Spanish by DarwinZ explaining Zcash transactions for beginners:
Alberdioni made several cool videos including this one:
So far, only 11 of the 50 ZEC has been awarded! The above creators are welcome to submit more. We are kicking off an iterative process, creating opportunities, getting practice, helping people improve their craft and upgrade their equipment. Zcash needs a constant stream of quality content if it's going to thrive. Show some love to the creators above and impress us with your own videos!
Here's another script idea. We still want to get across this core point:
Alice: Bitcoin is stupid.
Bob: What do you mean?
Alice: If you post an address, everyone in the entire world can see the balance and everything that is coming and going!
Bob: No way. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. Aren't they private and anonymous?
Alice: No, seriously. When someone has your address, they can see the entire history of what has come and gone from it!
Bob: Wow. That's crazy. Why would people use that? It doesn't even make any sense!
Alice: I know, cryptocurrencies really are a scam.
Charlie: Hey, most cryptocurrencies are pretty ridiculous. But, have you ever heard of Zcash? It uses advanced cryptography so that, when you post an address, you can receive and send funds and no one in the world can see your balance or what is coming and going without your consent?
Bob: Ahhhh
Alice: Wow, why haven't I ever heard of this?
Charlie: I know, right? I guess it's a crowded, crazy market with all sort of Dog Coins and toys and scams. But, Zcash is pretty cool. It's almost like physical cash but can be sent over the internet.
Bob: Man, that's awesome! That sounds like something the world needs.
Alice: For real! Something in "crypto" that could actually be useful. Thanks for letting us know!
