Quote from: inarizushi on October 09, 2014, 09:07:24 pmIt's crazy how so many people here have no patience at all. If you believe in the superiority of bitshares technology, why the hell are you losing your mind over nubits or overstock ? They won't reach billions overnight. The marketing plan sketched in the dev hangout seems brilliant. We've been told countless times that we need to wait for 1.0 + direct buy from USD.No one knows if critical mass will go to the best technology, or simply the first okay technology that doesn't fuck up. Network effect, baby. One of the sad things we will see is probably that nubits will be implemented and gain widespread use on OB before bitUSD. OB airdrop and marketing is something that has to be done within a certain time to ensure bitUSD becomes widely used there, IMO, since decentralized trustless trade is really where a decentralized peg is the most useful, and OB looks as if it will be "it" regarding decentralized trade.

FJ you seem to forget a lot of aspects of your success. Here is a major potential competitor http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/banxshares/ .
OMG my $2000 investment hasnt turned me into a millionaire yet and its already been 2 months!!! We gotta change everything now. Screw dpos we gotta go to pow cuz I read an article once about how good pow is. And jesus, overstock just went with counter party. Ahhh the world is ending and bit shares is doomed. Fire management and get a new marketing team now!Everyone just needs to take a deep breath and relax... Rome wasn't built in a day
Quote from: inarizushi on October 09, 2014, 10:06:33 pmAnd it seems to me that in the cryptoworld, people are very ready to change : the network effect is clearly not the same as for IRL objects. You can't change your samsung into an Iphone, so once you bought it, you're fucked. It's not the same at all for cryptos. People have no reason to be faithful. I think you are underestimating the extent to which people treat their choice of crypto as a religion. For most bitcoiners, bitcoin is the way, the truth, and the light, and everything else is a shitcoin scam. Network effect and being first matters.For this reason, I think the bitshares marketing plan to market to and onboard new people who ARENT currently interested in any crypto is an excellent one! If they can successfully get a lot of new people who currently know nothing about crypto to look at and use bitUSD and buy BTSX, then we will be in great shape!

Network effect doesn't happen in days. It happens in months or even years, and the bitshares marketing plan will happen in this timeframe.And it seems to me that in the cryptoworld, people are very ready to change : the network effect is clearly not the same as for IRL objects.

Owning bitcoins is clearly not as engaging as owning shares : you can transfer all your bitcoins into bitshares overnight, and you will have no awkward social interaction with a banker that will claim he has always been asking for your best interest.Money flow free in the new world that is built here, and I bet that it will pour to the best solution.

Is it just an update of the QT client or something new altogether?I am pretty sure it is supposed to be a mobile phone wallet or a web-wallet...not sure which, but I know they are focusing hard on the mobile aspect of this tech.Imho this should be #1 priority and will market bitUSD and bitASssets for us.

My biggest wish right now is that the non-contributing community will find something to do. We need to find a way to leverage every single member of the community into ensuring the success of our blockchain.

I'm pretty new and I have searched YouTube and found a lot of stuff on bitshares. I have been listening to the hangouts that Dan does too since I can't make it to be there myself. All in all I am really glad to see what they have so far. Now that delegates are running maybe they will help advertise too?I have been kind of sad to see that bitshares doesn't seem to be talked about on ltb very much though...which is where I get a lot of my information. Being number 4 in the first couple !months definitely brought my interest back to this project. Why does ltb seem so uninterested?Not trying to sound disrespectful..but it was you who taught me about bitcoin so I thought you would be lining up with the best tech with fair models and helping us learn about them too. Maybe do some episodes like "let's talk bitshares"? I read somewhere you get paid by delegates from btsx so maybe it would be a good idea to use those talents to give back! Maybe I read wrong though so sorry if so...but either way bitshares is amazing!Great points BTW Adam.

After having spent a few days with some of the developers, mainly Toast and Nathan, I believe the marketing plan is real, big, and well thought out. I didn't get specifics obviously but the general feeling I got from the folks I met was that there is a lot brewing. There is also a lot of work going on with respects to the client, market mechanics, and payment processors.Question for Methodx: You've done a lot of online marketing in the last seven years. When doing a big campaign for a product that also has a public forum do you lay out your plans as you make them, keep them close to your vest until they're ready, or some combination of the two? What sort of information do you think would be safe to share yet not let the cat out of the bag? Is there a cat? A bag? I know nothing about marketing online or otherwise.

Talking to important people one at a time to find synergies and make deals is totally great and necessary, but that's not marketing. I agree. It seems like there is more business development than true marketing happening with BTSX. While I agree that it is more business development, I see that as a good thing because the products are not yet ready for mass adoption which would call for real marketing.

The community should be ready to do its part once it comes to thatMy observations says Invictus does not have a marketing plan, and I think you'll be sadly mistaken if you're waiting for a planned and executed strategy surrounding anything. Invictus needs people who can do marketing to get involved, but it seems like they have in the past confused marketing with bizdev. Talking to important people one at a time to find synergies and make deals is totally great and necessary, but that's not marketing. Bitshares could really benefit from some quality, educational marketing material targeting early adopters in a couple of broad archetypes to help them concisely understand why Bitshares is the thing they want to get involved with vs any of the other options out there.Unfortunately the most concise messaging we've seen has been "earn 5% on anything" or "bitusd is just as good as usd" which are very misleading unless you have a lot of outside context.

But wait! If you act now you can get a second BTSX for the same low price! One more paycheck implies 1-2 weeks.....because that is how often most people get paid here in the US.Use of the phrase "we all have time" means you have to consider all possible next paydays. I also threw in the phrase "at least" to guard against promising anything specific at all.

Ah, so we're feeling the bitcoin contraction, just delayed a bit; assuming the reason we fared so well was a buy-in in preparation for the Vegas miracle.So given the ~18% drop in BTC, BTSX should bottom-out somewhere between 600 and 700 before the marketing push sends us to heights unseen.

Both marketing and engineering are building systems and processes never before seen for use in on boarding the masses.I figure we all have time to invest at least one more paycheck while BTSX is having its pre-public blowout sale. But wait! If you act now you can get a second BTSX for the same low price! Stan dont worry we wont hold you to this "...one more paycheck...pre-public blowout sale" I do not think you are in charge of marketing.
