It's in the bottom of the frontpage

Lol, didn't even see it. Which, I guess, still makes my original suggestion valid! 

Stretch and plaster those links all over the top. [Left to right I suggest, 80% Invictus.io, 20% Github/Face/Twitter/Youtube] Btw Bitshares Reddit is just depressing :\

Stan your impeccable use of center-align for rhetorical effect never ceases to amaze me

Whoever thought of turning the "plus one" into plus five percent is a genius!

bytemaster proposed to use it as Bitshares brand's new market meme.

bytemaster has ended the market meme. Bitshares X won't have interest.

What do I get for writing an excellent entry on consciousness?

Finally an area where I have some skills

It feels like one of those custom Starcraft maps where there are unlimited resources
and the first to build like a million expansions usually wins.

Great analogy.

"Probes construct buildings by starting the building's warp-in process. After that point the building 'constructs' by itself and the probe is free to leave and pursue other activities. This is unlike the SCV and drone which are fully occupied when constructing buildings."

Enable more probe activity!

Good work Brent.Allsop!

I agree with you that Invictus needs to get the word out lest they be accused of secrecy like NXT was. The NXT cloning that is currently going on is clearly in the spirit of spite against the percieved secrecy of the initial funding.


At least 10 days in advance there should be:
News articles at coindesk and related cryptocurrency news outlets.
Huge threads at Bitcointalk.org,  NXT forums, and other major forums.
...

As Brent points out, this need not be a propaganda campaign. We just need to inform people that this is the first Test Chain, and that it may be the official Chain, and that help is appreciated, and that this is how you get involved, etc.


Arguments against Brent and myself:

1. It won't be the last Bitshares chain, as Invictus will keep releasing new chains and keep rewarding PTS/AGS holders with a stake. People don't miss out on a "final" everything.

2. It will be more important that the product publicized to the public is working properly and is secure. A public scandal will be the worst possible outcome.

...

Madness

You people need to Lay Off The Pipe...   

KLONE is pipe agnostic.

If you think deeply on how financial market derivatives work you'll see that KLONE is actually quite a conservative market construct.

Look into the causes of the sub prime mess, or Bernie Madoff for example. Those guys were way more into the pipe than KLONE.

I like having fun, but all POS coins have a problem.

How to secure the ethical integrity of the genesis block?

NXT had a bitcoin IPO - some people said it was unfair

NEX giving away genesis coins for free - "interested" posted in a thread costs nothing - this creates over-subscription, so NEX value will be zero, so nobody will INVEST money or effort into building it

KLONE is offering an answer to the genesis block distribution.

proof-of-clone = proof-of-commitment -> Fairness & Initial value -> VIABLE POS COIN

What is the cost of launching a new clone of NXT? Zero

So how do you insure the survival of something that has no economic value now, but will later when it is fully grown, but has many potential rivals?

How does a human baby do this? LOOK CUTE TO PARENTS -> proof-of-commitment -> agreement to swap care needs through time -> parents & babies -> adult children & old parents!

KLONE is way more thought out than NEX

KLONE is following DAC concept almost (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1854.0)

KLONE will find better parents than NEX

NEX parents will abandon their baby (no evidence of commitment)

KLONE parents will all have shown 'some' level of commitment, so KLONE baby CAN survive.

NEX is angry (NEX maybe needs the pipe)

KLONE is happy, so easier to sell.

WHO WOULD MAKE THE BEST PARENT FOR YOU? A CLONE OF YOURSELF?
