Hello everyone,
What follows is a list of thoughts/ideas/concerns I have compiled and wanted to share.
These are not in any specific order, and are not meant to be comprehensive.
Basically, I want to capture my ideas to promote discussion, and send the message that I feel these are ideas worth tackling.
They just need the right person/people to take the lead.
Perhaps I am wrong, and some are stupid ideas. That's fine. Just let me know and add your thoughts to the discussion!
Assuming my ideas pass the sanity check of the Community, the point I am making is that I would support efforts in these areas.
It should also be understood that; "Ideas are easy. Execution is hard." These are just ideas. It doesn't mean they are good ideas. It also doesn't mean that executing them is even possible, let alone easy. But, there is always positive outcomes from discussing ideas, even if that outcome is that they have major issues, or aren't even possible etc.
If there are others that want to add to this list below, please do so in the comments.
Anyways - here we go ....
1. Social Teams:
Years ago, we had well organized teams for various social channels like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook etc.
Not sure why that fell apart. Certainly not for trying! I know key people worked hard at it.
To me, it seems when the price goes up, people get active on socials.
They should be consistent - or at least the opposite and more active when the price drops!
I know it can be significant work, depending on the level of involvement. That can wear a person down.
But, there is a minimal level of effort, that should be easy for every single PIVian to contribute, since everyone is on at least one social media channel anyways.
Engaging on Social Media is the baseline effort every PIVian should contribute, both to prove your character when you join PIVX, and ongoing so you can share your knowledge as your expertise grows. I don't just mean 'lurking' either. Every PIVian needs to be LOUD and be PRESENT!
Q: What can we do to re-start Social Teams? Better organization? Badges? Prize money? Channel Champions?
2. Push-Back on BTC, Verge and Monero etc.:
In the past, we have been afraid to push-back against larger projects. Don't be! PIVX is freaking AWESOME!
The BTC Maxis know they are in trouble, and many different influencers are having success being extremely critical of BTC issues. Same for Monero, and well, Verge doesn't count, because they are a joke and can't push back at all. But, we should put them in their place!
Sigge has shown over and over that we can make truthful statements comparing how PIVX is superior in many ways, and is MUCH MUCH closer to satisfying the vision Satoshi had, compared to Bitcoin etc. The BTC Maxis just ignore hard truth. That's fine. We're not trying to convert them. Maxis are a lost cause. We just want to reach their audience that are not brainwashed BTC Maxis yet.
Ideally we should have a short list of non-debatable critical points against BTC, Monero, Verge, and have graphics made for them. Then combined with Social Teams (See 1 above) we can all be far more efficient.
Q: What are your thoughts on this? Please comment below.
3. The Face of PIVX:
We need a 'Face of PIVX'. There are very few that can fill this role, because it requires a unique character, and expert knowledge of PIVX at a technical level. It also requires extensive travel and time commitment. Further, it is a big ask of anyone, because it breaks privacy. I propose we solve this by breaking the role into 3 parts.
The first part would be a REAL person. That could be Jeffrey. (Do I have a 2nd nomination? lol) He is willing to be dox'd with 3rd parties when appropriate, has all the knowledge necessary, and the strong ethical and charismatic character that fits perfectly. What he doesn't have, is extra time. Hence the idea to break up the role into 3 parts. (Note: Liquid could fill this role too - but I am not sure he wants to break privacy.)
The second part could be a AI character. This would be controlled by Marketing. Not sure how to divide responsibilities between Jeffrey and the AI character, but the goal would be to offload effort from Jeffrey whenever possible. Also, we would make it clear, the 'face' is an AI character. Perhaps a male and female, and they could have interviews/AMAs together.
The third part should be the Ambassadors. It should be a requirement for Ambassadors (see separate section below) to show their face online. The rest of their identity can be private, but their real face and voice should be used. They would then be the 'face of PIVX' for each of their respective communities they are Ambassador to.
Q: Is AI ready to be the 'face' of PIVX in this 'supporting' capacity?
4. A new Ambassador Program:
We need to design a new Ambassador program. It needs to be organized, and managed. There should be some basic requirements etc. and common material shared and translated as needed. Each Ambassador should be responsible for teaching and supporting individuals in their geographic region, (1 on 1 if needed - but 'Zoom' sessions would be better.) via various ways. At some point, they should be paid, but perhaps that is when they become a regional Ambassador, and there is justification for multiple Ambassadors on their team? Thoughts?
A well organized Ambassador program will be needed to launch circular economies. Best we start getting organized soon! I think RedByrd is considering this one.
Q: What do you think would make an Ambassador Program unique and leverage PIVX strengths?
5. Teach AI LLMs to use MPW:
This is where I am likely to be way out of my league, and don't know what I am talking about. But, the point is simply this ...
An AI can't walk into a bank and open an account. Possible, but with difficulty, an AI could setup a PIVX Core wallet for itself. However, an AI could very easily create a MPW account! Further, it could also easily use swap services to exchange BTC etc into PIVX. The easier we make it for AI LLMs to know how to work with MPW, the better the odds that AI driven apps just start using PIVX!
I have no idea how we go about 'teaching' LLMs. But, someone should tackle this ASAP.
Q: Is this easy? Hard? Stupid idea? If possible - how do we do it?
6. MPW Lesson plans:
MPW is done so well, that I can't really see why any sort of lesson plan is needed at all. But, that's the point - every other crypto out there does need 'lesson plans', and therefore that is what the non-PIVian user base expects!
I think it would be great if we had 5 or 8 really short lesson plans, designed to be presented live in a 'Zoom' style (Jitsi instead please) meeting. The Ambassador for the region would lead these sessions. We can make them short - no more than 15 mins, with say 15 people max, and they need to register first come - first served etc. (Use Calendy etc.) The first 5 mins can be just 'meet and greet' with each attendee stating their first name and what country they are from etc. Then the lesson. Then at the end, each attendee gets a small amount of PIV by holding their receive address to the screen, and a reminder to join our Discord. Plus, they can be rewarded for attending all 5 or 8 lessons too. The idea is that the lessons are so freaking easy, they will sold on PIVX and every other crypto project out there will seem frustratingly difficult (rightly so!) and they will just stay in the PIVX Community. Each session can be recorded too fore marketing purposes.
Lessons could be; 1. Installing MPW, and storing your seed words. 2. Receiving and sending PIV. 3. Recovering a MPW wallet. 4. Cold Staking. 5. PIVcards. 6. PIVX.promo. 7. Governance. 8. Vector. etc. etc.
The 'Meet and Greet' should be part of each one, because it will be a different set of people each time. They will each be more comfortable meeting others in Discord, knowing they are from the Zoom sessions. In fact, newbies could perhaps be given a special Discord Badge.
The lessons should be organized such that students are motivated to complete all of them, either with additional PIV sent to them each time, or with prerequisites etc. and when complete, they get a new level badge etc.
These lesson plans can be constantly improved and the new material distributed to all Ambassadors. Eventually, perhaps a new 'Trainer' role is created. Students who participated in each lesson could apply to teach the lessons. They could earn a very modest amount of PIV for doing that etc. Rinse and repeat. Build the team to 50 Trainers teaching 10 lessons of 15 students each week, and we are then on-boarding 50 x 10 x 15 x 52 = 390,000 PIVians per year. Perhaps those are crazy and unrealistic numbers - but the point is clear that there is a huge opportunity there.
7. Partner with other Communities:
There are many many other Communities full of people who would love to learn about crypto. Let's make it easy for them to learn with PIVX!
Imagine reaching out to a group of 'Couponers' and finding that a large portion of them want to learn about PIVX and PIVcards? Get them to go thru the MPW Lesson plans, and maybe we have a 3rd party offering them coupons as motivation to complete the lessons?
Or maybe there is angle where we can attract Homeschooling Moms, to learn so that they can teach their kids, or just get their kids to take the lessons?
There are TONS of other Communities we could attract. Just need the right process and material.
8. Community Feedback on Proposals:
The number of proposals is climbing. The price drop will scale it back for a bit, but the point is, as price increases, so do the number of proposals. This is making it difficult for MNOs to perform their Due Diligence and vote properly. Those in the Community that do not have a MN can still provide valuable critical constructive feedback on proposals, and therefore have a strong influence on MNO votes! There should be more people doing that. How do we motivate people to do so?
9. Proposal Reporting - Best Practices.
The PIVX Labs Team is doing a stellar job reporting out on proposals. It makes it MUCH easier for MNOs to vote properly. It would be awesome if those 'Best Practices' are documented, so that other teams like Marketing can follow the same process. Granted, it might need to be adjusted, because for example Marketing does not use GitHub to track their work etc. but you get the point.
This task should not be started by Labs, until there is a Team Lead wanting to learn - but if that's you - please reach out to JSKitty for guidance, after doing your homework reviewing what Labs reporting looks like.
10. SnapCraft.io, FlatPak, Docker:
PIVX Core is available on SnapCraft.io.
Why don't we have both PIVX Core, and MPW available on SnapCraft, FlatPak, and Docker?
I totally get that it is kinda useless because it is so easy to install both, but the end user WANTS these options, so we should be providing them.
I see Monero, Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Firo, Verge, Dash Core, Dash Electrum, etc. etc. all on FlatPak AND Docker. But, not PIVX. This needs to change.
11. Getting 18% with Optimized Staking.
Recently, we discovered an address on chain that is staking a large amount of PIVX. They are earning approx 18%! That's far more than running a Masternode or the approx 13% 'normal' stakers earn! I guess they are earning this amount because they have a setup that is well connected to the network etc. When a different wallet is selected to stake, and they lag too much, the network picks another better connected server. This is likely one of the reasons they earn so much. What would be great for users, and the network, is if everyone knew exactly what changes are needed to optimize the same way. Hopefully there is someone willing to put in this effort.
12. AI Tools. Just Grok it.
About 18 months ago, I had a chat with JSKitty about the current state of AI and if it could help PIVX. Then, the answer was - and I am paraphrasing; "Not without significant effort, and only in specific use cases." I haven't asked him again, because the answer is now obvious. I don't care what you do in life, let alone PIVX. If you are not using AI, you are working harder, not smarter. Now is the time - You need to change - Get on the AI learning curve.
I have some custom scripts I slapped together 2 years ago to manage MNs. This past week, I took each one and asked Claude.ai to 'improve' them. I was absolutely floored at the amazing job it did, in seconds. The same effort would have taken me days.
Now, you might not be doing software development. Don't worry. AI is definitely going to make you WAY WAY more efficient regardless. Anyone who is going to Google to search anything, should be asking AI the questions instead. Just Grok it.
Sure, every AI is different, each suited to a specific use case (coding, general knowledge, image/video creation etc.) and they are all changing every day. Don't let that stop you. Play with free versions of ChatGPT, Grok, Venice.ai, Claude.ai etc etc and experiment. Also, how you formulate your questions, makes a huge impact on the quality of the output. Research AI 'prompt' Cheat-Sheets to quickly learn what I mean.
13. Leverage AI tools.
It's no longer just about AI answering questions. Now there are AI Agents, and AI Operators. These are game changers.
AI Agents can complete repetitive tasks for you. AI Operators can interact with your online accounts (dangerous - but powerful) for you.
We really need a dedicated AI Tool Expert in the Community. I know people in PIVX Labs have these skills, but they are slammed for time building PIVX.
An example of what would be cool, is if someone could build a flow in www.n8n.io to see when a new PIVX Tweet is posted, and automatically turn it into a YouTube short and post that. Then, with that example in place, work with the social team to optimize it and leverage AI for PIVX!
14. Gleam.io.
This is not AI driven (At least I don't think so - but likely will be soon if not already), but is a tool that according to Jeffrey, many other crypto projects have used with great success. I know RedByrd and Hawtch are researching it and climbing the learning curve, but I describe it here because it likely has many use cases in PIVX.
15. Guerrilla Marketing.
This is so easy to say, and so hard to do. Everyone sees viral videos and think they are easy to create. Sure - creating the video is easy. Getting it to go viral - that's a whole different ball game. Even 'experts' at creating viral videos swing and miss over and over again before getting a home run.
Well, Guerrilla Marketing is different from viral videos, but is just as hard. Still, when stuck with a small budget, it is worth considering, because when it works, the value from a super small spend, is incredible.
Not sure what I am asking with this post - but, discussion will help!
16. White Label Program:
I believe that Labs is already planning for this, or at least considering it.
The idea is that MPW have functionality where it can easily have different branding.
So, 'natively' it is MPW in PIVX purple as it is now. But, by applying a different theme/skin it can be 'Pizza Points' or 'Coffee Credits' etc. In addition to the colors, name and logo changes, it would then have messaging somewhere that clearly states the app is 'Powered by PIVX' etc., because those 'Pizza Points' or 'Coffee Credits' etc. are actually PIV. In those use cases, unknown (at first) to the person buying a coffee or a pizza, they aren't really earning loyalty rewards, they are earning PIV! Conversely, anyone with MPW and PIV to spend, can use them then as 'Coffee Credits' or 'Pizza Points' directly from MPW, because 1 PIV == 1 PIV == 1 PIV.
17. Loyalty/Rewards Program:
Continuing on from the White Label Program above, formalizing the idea and actively doing Business Development to expand this to other businesses, would be an incredible use case, and would support milestones towards a circular economy.
18. Circular Economies:
This is the ultimate goal of PIVX. Communities where PIVX is exchanged Peer to Peer, and not to other crypto/fiat currencies. We've got a really long way to go to achieve this, but there is nothing wrong with coming up with milestones now, and starting marketing for it. Then perhaps Communities will approach us, instead of us trying to find them.
Conclusion:
That's my brain dump for now. Hope this helps promote discussion. While we all know that PIVX should "Just Keep Building!", it is important to understand that doesn't just mean Developers keep coding. The act of 'building' PIVX crosses ALL disciplines. Where can you get involved?
Thanks for reading all this! But don't stop now. Pick something and JFDI!

This is the ultimate goal of PIVX. Communities where PIVX is exchanged Peer to Peer, and not to other crypto/fiat currencies. We've got a really long way to go to achieve this, but there is nothing wrong with coming up with milestones now, and starting marketing for it. Then perhaps Communities will approach us, instead of us trying to find them.
Conclusion:
That's my brain dump for now. Hope this helps promote discussion. While we all know that PIVX should "Just Keep Building!", it is important to understand that doesn't just mean Developers keep coding. The act of 'building' PIVX crosses ALL disciplines. Where can you get involved?
Thanks for reading all this! But don't stop now. Pick something and JFDI!
EDIT: Multiple points in this forum post are mentioned in this proposal just submitted. As such, it should be reviewed as well before commenting here.
