The Server has been set up and bitShares' Team Viral space within the Beyond Bitcoin Mumble (Open Source VOIP--like Teamspeak or Ventrilo).  I will try to be in there at all times. 

Hoping this will help us to communicate with one another about projects and plans moving forward without having to always plan specific times.  Between the forums and this, we should be able to more easily communicate.

I've received the same message; my guess is to keep spam to a minimum and that after a certain number of posts that time decreases - but I don't know how many that is.

This is my second post ITT.

Standing by for directions.

Should I subscribe to this thread/deliver this thread to email so I know what to do?

[G1ng3rBr34dM4n]

Hey Team Viral....

yes, site is still scheduled to go up today (I haven't heard when) but keep in mind me and the team in VA will be going through it over the weekend with further edits, so probably next week would be the time to really get the word out and push for people to check out the site.  I'm headed to Coinsummit in SF on monday to drum up some speakers/sponsors for the event and represent BitShares but after I get back I can jump in and see what you all are up to and how I can help in any way.

BitShares to the Mooon!

To da moon, you got it B. 

With that, I'm thinking I'll start with the organic approach and shoot it over to friends & family and wait until you guys give the go ahead.  Anything we can do to help out with reviewing the site, let us know.

Seems like Brian will continue to polish the page and review the text for a few days after today. We can start today when the site launches and keep it up over the weekend, to have a sustained increase in awareness. I don't know exactly when the site launches, but I'll start working on the threads later this evening CET.

[G1ng3rBr34dM4n]

See you all on Twitter tomorrow!  Keep an eye out for #BitShares hashtags and be sure to re-tweet, favorite, and keep the conversation going.  I'll be sniping some of the prominent bitcoin tweeting crowd.

Keep us posted on reddit posts and bitcointalk posts; I'll be sure to upvote and comment whenever I can!

[mavisjames]

do we have an idea of the website will be launched?

[vikram]

Sounds good. Hopefully the site launches without a hitch. I'll def be posting everything on reddit, and I'll come back here to see about the bitcointalk threads as well.

[CLains]

Look at https://coinmarketcap.com/ !!

Bitcoin is downtrending, but our 7day PTS chart is looking great. We can pull this off and be the ultimate safe haven!!

It's all about coordinated effort coupled with timing.

[CLains]

Let's make some thunder right after the new site is released! We should target everything; Chats, Facebook, Twitter, Bitcointalk, ...

I'll be thinking up some stuff we can do at bitcointalk. Maybe unlimited_power or someone else could do Reddit? And lets all be extra chatty after the site is released. ;)

On Bitcointalk I'm thinking we should make

1. one thread concerning the newsletter,
2. one concerning the new site,
3. one concerning the upcoming conference,
..
..

I'll post links to these threads later. Does anyone want to help me post these threads? I can create them, but it will look silly if I post all the threads x)

Additionally I want you guys to we extra vigilant with bumping these threads right after the site is released, with comments that might be appropriate and with links to the new site. (:

I appreciate you all taking the initiative on this and running with it. I've been working day and night on the new websites and videos (coming in one week) as well as on the event this summer so less time than I'd like to do these kind of marketing efforts.  Keep your eyes out for a sneak peek soon on the website and I'll look at what you're doing further once the dust settles over here.  B

Hey Brian, as discussed I added you to the Asana group. I think it would valuable to check in there once and while to make sure we are not duplicating efforts and/or ideas.

Monday evening? EST

I can do any time after 6.

[bitcoinba]

Normally weekends are good, but not this one.

Monday evening? EST

[oco101]

Sounds fine with me...but it all depends on what the other crew members are up for.  I think we should try to stick to a few dates/times and those who can show up show up.  It is rarely going to be possible to get all of us together...and the good thing about being able to record meetings is that we can send them to each other to listen to offline.

I agree me I can't make it this weekend at all :(

[fuzzy]

Thank you everyone for taking the initiative on this one and going for it.  I have many different channels I'm trying to market through but this is one that needs help and you all can certainly step in and run with it.  There are always more marketing ideas than people and leadership to tackle, but I agree, this is one area that we can be doing more in.  Thx,  B

Thank you for being thankful :)

How about Saturday 11pm GMT/7pm EST?

Normally, I'd be available - however this Saturday is St. Patty's-day-celebration-extravaganza (where I'm at), and I highly doubt my ability to coherently contribute.   ;D 

Sunday?

I added fuznuts to Asana.  Also been doing some thinking on tasks and projects, will add after I come up with them.

As for times.  Weekends are best for me...especially Saturday nights.

+1 for me. I can also do occasional weeknights after 7pm eastern time

[fuzzy]

we should come up with some elements and concepts basic to Bitshares that can be directly related to more popular or mainstream problems and start conversation or content generation around them for submission on in high traffic channels that are indirectly related.

We should then all participate in the conversation, then encourage movement to r/bitshares.

Good idea.

When should we meet at the Bat Cave?

Do we even have a Bat Cave? Maybe the chat on this forum, or an IRC channel. Or a facebook group. What do you guys think? And what about timezones? I'm available 10am to 10pm CET.

This seems to be a good place to use some of those Beyond Bitcoin platforms previously established.  Google hangouts are wonderful and can be easily edited/posted to youtube, embedded in forums/webpages/twitter posts...

Excellent.

Please send email addresses to join Team Viral in our Asana group. I think we can test it for now as a place to develop some strategies that may not be appropriate to share with everyone, and allows us to assign recurring tasks and and account for actions.

Voting on Cryptsy is definitely something we need to think about and coordinate. We should also get on btc38, and the other Chinese alt-exchanges. Comprehensive attack :D

[mint chocolate chip]

Do we know if Cryptsy is putting BTS on its exchange?

Pretty sure that answer is no. But if there is demand, it will be inevitable. Bitshares-PTS is there so don't see why it wouldn't and BTer as well. .

I think exchanges will be hesitant to add BTS at first because it's a test chain.

Cryptsy has implemented a voting system to add currencies to the exchange.  I believe you get 1 free vote per day and unlimited paid votes (imagine that) - though I'm not sure of what the cost of a vote is.

Can Team Viral effort this please?

fuznuts, what can I do to help!?

I am not smart enough to tell you that!  You know you best...what would you Love and have Passion for?  What I can say is that we should all sit down and have a chat sometime to figure out how to move forward and where our niches could fit together.

What I have found in my experience with online communities is that it is usually best to have general goals and then to let people naturally fall into different roles.  All I would ask is "Service before Self" and trying to be inclusive as opposed to exclusive.

But I have some ideas .... :)

I3 seems to nbe focusing on long-term "real world" marketing. I think that first we have to win the hearts and mind of the crypto community! 80% of the population is not ready for bitcoin, bts x is like two orders of magnitude more complex and more revolutionary.

True, I agree with your statement. I think that the key to winning the minds of people who don't know or want to accept cryptocurrency is to make it super easy to understand. In fact it should be so easy to understand that you can explain it to a 10 year old child and they understand.

Team Viral will be the core of the core active community posting, bumping, twittering, facebooking, chatting, and whatever else that fans of Bitshares can do to help spread the good message in social media.

I encourage posting alternatives to Team Viral in this [proposal] thread. Team Viral is not meant to be a [proposal] or an optimal solution, just a [social] group of people who want to help get the word out right now.
