PIVCAST EDITED

Love that this proposal is so well organized and specific.
I'm not sold on the efficiency of a physical meetup though. I think Digital meetups should happen first. Physical later. Let me explain.
In short, the cost of the above is approx $57 to $95 USD per attendee. (Assuming 15 to 25 attendees.)
From that, we may only get 3 to 5 new PIVians. That then works out to $285 to $475 USD per new PIVian.
That's extremely expensive.
It will also take significant effort for you to arrange and manage. Each time you do this, it will still be a lot of work.
As such, physical meetups don't scale very well.
All benefits are completely indirect too.
This makes it near impossible for MNOs to monitor.
I am however VERY interested in what you picture as a DIGITAL meetup.
This could be done many ways. There could be a series of Digital Meetups, that people need to register for, with a limited number allowed. Each Digital Meetup could be super short. Maybe 15 mins max. The platform can be Jitsi (Privacy honoring Zoom like platform) that PIVX can provide.
The Digital Meetups could be:
Meetup 1: Introductions; PIVX Ambassador introduces himself and core values/mission of PIVX. Attendees each give a vague intro of themselves. Following Meetups are described.
Meetup 2: Creating a wallet with MyPIVXwallet.org. What a seed word list is. How to encrypt the wallet. How to get a receive address QR code. Ambassador sends everyone $5 of PIVX.
Meetup 3: Sending and Receiving with MPW. Each 'student' could take turns holding their QR code to their camera, while others send them a very small amount of PIV. At the end, most everyone has the same amount of PIV they started with, minus fees.
Meetup 4: Recovering a wallet from seed word list. The Ambassador could force everyone to test their backup of their seed word list. This gives them confidence to hold larger amounts.
Meetup 5: How to use PIVX.promo. ......
Meetup 6: How to use PIVcards. ......
Meetup 7: Why they should join the PIVX Discord .....
Meetup 8: What is Staking and how it works. ......
Meetup 9: How to buy PIVX .....
The above are just examples. I can think of many more ideas.
But here are some key points .....
Each Meetup is in ONE Language, but is NOT restricted geographically. So, a native Turkish speaking person currently in Canada can join if they like. Plus, they are SHORT 15 min meetups, and almost anyone can fit that in their schedule. It also means the Ambassador can have MANY of these Meetups, and the Attendees can pick which they join.
Each Meetup can start with Introductions. "Hey, my name is Ayşe, and I currently live in Toronto." or "Hello, My name is Ahmet. I am a C-Level Manager in Technology currently in Australia."
Not everyone will be able to attend the same time slot for each Meetup. So, each person is going to be exposed to approx 20 other Turkish people each Meetup. This means they start seeing a large community right away.
It should be possible to track attendance, and make sure Meetups are attended in order, and not repeated (scammers will try that for sure to grab more PIV.)
It is unlikely that all those who start with Meetup 1, make it all the way to Meetup 10. But, when they do, THEN they can be rewarded with another $10 of PIV.
Each session can be recorded as proof that the Meetup took place. Plus, they can then be analysed to see what can be improved, and what needs to change to prevent scammers from scamming.
Once the set up Meetups/Lessons is mature, and proven to work well, then it should be very easy to replicate for other Ambassadors globally. In fact, many of those that complete the 10 Meetups, may feel confident enough to run the Digital Meetups moving forward. They can be paid to do so. At that point, the Ambassador can 'Level Up' and manage those 'Meetup Leaders' who each staff Digital Meetups, bringing more and more and more and more PIVians onboard. Plus, the Ambassador can then connect with all those Attendees for PHYSICAL Meetups. Those can be much larger at that point, but they will already be PIVians and people will feel more comfortable having met others online already. Further, they may be willing to cover cost of coffee/drinks/snacks/meals etc. themselves, knowing that PIVX isn't a rich corporation, but a freedom movement. Having said that, there could be door prizes for merchandise. In fact, it could be higher quality and more expensive merchandise.
This also opens up a new Role for 'Digital Meetup Champion' who can take over the development and management of the 'Meetup/Lesson scripts/steps/plans and related marketing material' so that EVERY Ambassador can easily translate and stay current, with the material, and provide feedback that helps EVERYONE following these plans.
The above is me doing a 'brain dump' of my thoughts. They do not have to be followed. In fact, they should be developed from scratch, and reviewed carefully. Then executed on a test group, and constantly (lots at first) improved. The point is, that a DIGITAL Meetup plan will SCALE WAY WAY faster, with WAY WAY less effort, and VERY LOW COST. Plus, it can be replicated globally.
It will bring people up the learning curve so quickly and easily, in such a welcoming and friendly manner, that any time they venture into another crypto project, they are going to feel so uncomfortable, that they will come RUNNING back to PIVX.
I am curious what others think of this idea. I can see that a group of PIVians here now, would love to be the first 'Attendees' to help make sure the first version is well thought out before being deployed to brand new crypto users.
THANKS for reading that wall of text!
I could write so much more ... but that's all I have time for right now. lol
Receiving feedback is great! I never hesitate to present my counterarguments because the free discussion of differing opinions is the best way to achieve stronger progress.I'm in agreement with eric here. Your own numbers are saying with can get 15+ people there. I can go to the pub down the road and get more engagement than that. They would love a free top or whatever and listen to whatever is spoke. Think bigger for events. I would rather see you approach the crypto people in your country social people to get discussions going, social posts, podcasts, comments etc. the problems are always language barriers. Be the Türkiye translator connection is my advice.
Not sure if you are asking about PHYSICAL or DIGITAL meetups. But, I have experience with both.Has any individual or community ever implemented a similar idea before, or is this a completely original concept developed through your creative thinking?
