Ken continues to have my full support and vote (even if I don't agree with 100% of what he does - he does do and try).
Quote from: phillyguy on July 08, 2015, 07:37:15 pmKen needs to bone up on the technology before he deserves to be paid to push it. Just my opinion.If we all had to wait until we had a perfect understanding of Bitshares before we could promote it, there would be like 10 people in the world capable of promoting it. Better to promote, and learn more while you are doing it. Ken has already spend some of his own money paying for translations of articles and videos, and he has gotten us multiple news articles. He is providing better ROI than plenty of other paid delegates, I'm sure.We need to be more encouraging to other community members who are working hard to promote bitshares. Its hard enough to keep motivated when the price is so low, if the community is negative towards you it is even more difficult.Things will be better in 2.0 with referrals. We wont need marketing delegates. That means less inflation, and it means that promoters get compensated based on their results. Then no one will need to complain about whether a delegate is doing enough. In the meantime, Ken is doing more than the majority of our marketing delegates I think, so if you want to vote some out I'd suggest you start with some of the others who have quit and are just redirecting funds to other peoples projects.

I'm just saying I won't vote for him and I wish he wasn't getting paid for the work he's attempting to do, because I don't think it's up to snuff - even at $5 an hour.I don't know how to link to my old account posting history, but I'm sure someone can. You may not feel my comments were helpful or productive, but I never asked to be paid either.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSee your post above: "I won't vote for your delegate, and I'm hoping others will change their mind and bump you out."Please keep in mind that you said you quit the forum before because of negative/rude posters. "I was a full member under the username Turkeyleg until I got disgusted with some rude members and quit the forum" I hope that Ken doesn't decide to quit because of unfounded and derogatory criticism of his labors for the benefit of BitShares (most completely out of pocket). Granted that he is a type A personality, and charges ahead before he gathers cheerleaders, but that can be valuable if others were not so damn sensitive and protective oi their "turf", or merely ill-informed.

The problem is not the people that Ken is approaching, or degree of enthusiasm and effort. It's not personal. The reason why I do not think he should have a paid delegate position now, or a worker position in the future is this:I don't think he is competent with the product, and I would prefer not to pay someone to proselytize BitShares if they don't understand it and cannot communicate it effectively. If Ken is on Twitter, Reddit, bitcointalk.com, etc and he is making statements about BTS and he is flat out wrong - I don't think that is worth ANY amount of delegate pay. I made a similar comment about a week ago when he was talking about yield on BitAssets.Ken needs to bone up on the technology before he deserves to be paid to push it. Just my opinion.
It's not about the idea. but there are simply 1000 more coins with an actual user base that would justify time investment from a 100% delegate.
If three people out of the 30000 that see that tweet get into bitshares, then this is at least as effective as some of our earlier marketing efforts.
Thank You @Ander Thank You @cylonmaker2053 Thank You @Riverhead To the haters: Guys, it doesn't matter how big or small the contact is. When I hold a Meetup for example, and if I only got to introduce ONE new person to BitShares that night, does it really matter if he was a whale or not? What percentage of that 30,000+ followers above might sign up as a new user or tell a couple people? 1%? It only took me 5min to do that tweet too. How many new people now have heard about BitShares? In marketing something, you just play the numbers, big AND small

Don't worry about how "big" they are, I bring'm big and small, it's all bout the fees baby Thank You @ebit Thank You @lil_jay890 What fees Ken? Who is going to buy a UIA for a POW coin that nobody is buying already? How are they going to integrate with Bitshares 2.0? Who is going to do the technical heavy lifting? I seriously doubt the Dev team is going to do it for you, even if you offered to pay them some pittance of a bounty.It is increasingly clear to me that you are not capable of providing technical value to BTS and frankly, your high level understanding of what is happening here is pretty poor too - which makes you an ineffective marketer.I won't vote for your delegate, and I'm hoping others will change their mind and bump you out.

You guys...why are you hating on Ken for doing something.Sure, its a tiny coin. Its still a positive if it brings in even one fee, and exposes a few more people to bitshares. Maybe you are reacting to Ken overselling the size/importance of it.
Good thing you voted him in as a delegate!
What reasons whould there be for a PoW coin to switch over to BitShares DPOS .. and who would decide on the distribution?IMHO this is a waste of resources
The moore coins that can be brought in, the more transaction fees they will generate. It doesn't matter if you like their product, as long as someone else does and uses our network to acquire their coins.Great job Ken!
I'm creating more bounties today and hope to have them posted by tonight, then I can get started on BitShares POS todo list tomorrow morn for review/approval by the CMX crew. Then the hiring can begin
Quote from: kenCode on July 08, 2015, 12:58:06 pmShilling Coin is quite large even though they have a lack of media exposure right now, they have over 17,000 twitter followers too, a popular alt to say the least. Dude - they had to follow 17,900 people to gain 17,700 followers in return. They probably ran some automated tool to do that. This is not a popular alt, at all. Their website and product both appear to be highly suspect.

Please Comment, Favorite and Retweet, I may be able to bring Shilling Coin onboard with BitShares!! https://twitter.com/kenCode_de/status/618727079136350208
