Oh man, how do I write this post, without getting a Nullstreet fatwa declared on me?
Well here goes...

Dear Matt,

After quickly reading through this op, I was exited that we had someone trying to run an Argentina marketing delegate. I was partiqually looking forward to your radio ad on LTB, since this is one of your main skills. To be honest I was shocked, and I can't understand why nobody else didn't bring this up already. Your just not radio material.

Next are your writing skills, and I hate to say it, but that unpublished article just isn't a nice read. I don't see it getting posted on techcrunch any time soon.
This gets me extra worried because you will be responsible for the content on the "Argentina BitUSD portal".

The only reason left for voting you in, is so you can delegate funds to Elmato and Fran2k.....
I don't think this is a good idea, for reasons mentioned by bytemaster in the 12-5 hangout. https://soundcloud.com/testzcrypto/beyond-bitcoinhamgout-12-05-14-updates-from-bytemaster
(17:30).

This raises an interesting question. Am I being to hard/demanding, or are others just to happy to to vote in any delegate with a "marketing proposal"?

I used to be of the opinion that every effort, how little it may be, would bring some value to BTS. However I'm starting to think that, that since BTS is in it's startup phase, it's crucial that the shareholders make decisions on effectiveness rather than just getting something out there. The decisions we make now, will have an effect on further BTS adoption.

Sorry for being a bit harsh, but tactfullness isn't really part of my skill portfolio.
I guess I shouldn't be running a "Bitshares tactical delegate" campaign.

I see it the same way.
My two concerns are: Not professional enough with respect to what I have seen (the bitusd video and the radio ad) and not actually from Argentina / not native Spanish.

the meetup giveaways are currently being funded out of pocket by the organizers themselves with no guarantee beyond the hope that matt608 will get voted in soon so he can pay them back. We need systematic blockchain funding for this kind of stuff, that's the entire point of bitshares. Vote!

Just wanted everyone to see fran2k's comment above. The Argentina folks are a team, they support this delegate, and they need the resources they will get with Matt608 as a delegate.

Ok great i'll try it and let ou know the results.

Yes that's what I'm running so should I wait for .25 and hope that it fixes my problem? It's an eerie feeling having you're account at zero after voting.

No , the newest should be on https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases

BitShares 0.4.24.1 (Hot Fix)

No transaction history for this vote and balance at 0! What should I do?

Your funds are safe, download the latest release and you should be fine.
