I can just say that it's better not to be discouraged by a single effort. I've never tried to lure people to anything through online methods till now, so can't suggest a lot. But, I can tell one thing that bringing quality is better than quantity.

We have the same outlook. My pitch for Stacker News was focused on the depth and scope of discourse, because that's what I want to attract more of.

Had I focused on earning potential through gaming the rewards system, there might have been more takers, but it wouldn't be the kind of people I wanted to attract.

I didn't find it discouraging. At most I thought I might land 2 or 3 people. There were some interesting lessons in the experience, though, and I wanted to share them.

Thanks for clarifying. I wanted to tell you that why roan in an unknown land when we have gold in our own courtyard. Try orange piling your every known person. (Not suggesting. I know you're a seasoned campaigner) I've started doing it here in India which I think is more hostile to Bitcoin. But I'll continue even if I get 0 results.

There are two challenges in front of me. 1 is language constrains and second people in my area knows nothing about Bitcoin. But I'll continue.
