Getting Involved with NavCoin
Like Bitcoin, NavCoin is an open-source cryptocurrency under MIT licence, which means that there is no central authority over NavCoin and anyone can (and is welcome to) take part as a member of our thriving international community. Concept of contribution might be easier to understand for more tech-savvy members of NavCoin community, as open-source is part of professional terminology and GitHub is among common tools. NavCoin Core Protocol and other parts of NavCoin ecosystem (like NavPay wallet and navhub.org) are open-source. Developers can find guides or get familiar with NavCoin Developer Manifesto.
However, the whole NavCoin ecosystem is much more than just open-source development. Development, content creation, promotion and adoption are interconnected. They are equal parts of growth as a decentralized cryptocurrency. Moreover, they are important for growth of a whole ecosystem — that’s why a key to success is contributions from people of different backgrounds.
“So can I help NavCoin without special IT skills?” you might ask. Absolutely! There is always a choice, depending on what you are good at. Great at creative writing or making visual content? A social media star? Or just know how to get along with people well? You are most welcome!
Writing about NavCoin or creating visual content like infographics, videos or art are a good way to improve NavCoin brand recognition. NavCoin Brand Guidelines, created by the Core Team, will provide you with necessary information about NavCoin brand, goals it stands for, colours and fonts associated with it. Promoting NavCoin with social media and other common ways to share information in digital space is a thing of great importance as well — and it is open for all members of our community.
Driving NavCoin adoption is great for the growth as well — accepting NAV in your online store or sharing the information with crypto-accepting services might be a good start. Organising NavCoin meetup is also a good idea — and a perfect opportunity to meet like-minded people. To put it simple, it’s possible to boost NavCoin not only as a developer, but using creative, business and networking skills as well.
