Hey Everyone,

I'm really needing some help please!
If anyone has the Mumble recording from Dan's hangout on 8/28/15 could you please send a copy to me via PM. The copy I received yesterday was crux'ed up and unable to use.
I'm also looking for a recording from today's hangout with Mr. Underwood.
The recordings need to be from beginning to end of the hangout please.
So any help getting me these asap will be very much appreciated!!!


Thank you
 

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to get some feedback on an idea that Fuzzy and myself are kicking back-n-forth.
I was preparing to work on the outro for our edited Hangout recordings and want to introduce this idea to the community for feedback.

For those who would like to "advertise" their name/project onto the recordings as a Sponsor, please comment to this thread.
Essentially how it would work is at the end of the Hangout I'm planning to add a pre-recorded musical outro with some credits and general information soooo
I'd like to know if anyone would be interested to have me add/tag in their name/project into the edited edition on a weekly basis for a nominal fee? 
It would be something simple and basic like "This Hangout has been sponsored by "so and so" so please show you're appreciation and support and visit their website "so and so.com"
Obviously the wording can be changed up to fit the situation but you get the idea.

This would be a nice opportunity for those hoping to grab some additional attention from those listening to the recordings.

And before anyone FUD's anything about BeyondBitcoin already getting paid BTS via Delegate pay...yes we are, but dammit we've got 7 BB team mouths to feed and BTS isn't $1/share yet!!! 

So thank you in advance for taking the time replying to this request!!!



 

Hello Everyone,

Here's two links to the whole Monday Special Mumble DEV Chat session with Bytemaster announcing the new BitShares 2.0
This was a 2hr Hangout, so I've broken it down into two 1hr segments.
Hope you enjoy!

Good evening Bitshares community!   

For the majority of people who aren't familiar of me,  I'm Emailtooaj (obviously) and I'm the sound editor for the Beyond Bitcoin team who offers the weekly DEV, DELEGATE and (new) BONUS Hangouts. The music production and voice you hear at the beginning of each edited Beyond Bitcoin Hangout is myself, so now you have a voice to the name  .
First I'd like to give a brief history of why I'm here and how my role evolved with The Beyond Bitcoin team as this info may help clarify the context of this post (hopefully).

WARNING- I'm giving everyone heads up! This will be a lengthy post, but I'll do my best keeping it short....

Since around April of 2014,  I've always enjoyed and patiently anticipated the next Mumble Hangout that Fuzzy was conducting for the community.  You must admit that there's NO other crypto community in existence who offers this style of service for their stake holders... other than Bitcoin.  Even still, those type of Bitcoin shows offer no opportunity for any community members to ask direct questions to the core developers.
Needless to say, having Dan Larimer visit on a weekly basis to meet with the community is a VERY RARE and special treat. I truly appreciate him doing this, as I know the rest of our community does also!!!
So thank you Fuzzy for starting this valuable service!

Around August of 2014 I noticed that Fuzzy must have started getting overwhelmed with production workload, because the recordings weren't getting edited in the usual style.  I did not want to see these Hangouts loose traction or see Fuzzy get burnt out and quit. That's when I decided to jump in and help. When I contacted Fuzzy, I felt relieved that he didn't tell me to go f**k myself and gave me an opportunity to jump in and help out. To date, I have greatly enjoyed working with him over this past year and I think we make a good team.
Back on topic though...
Since our very first conversation, Fuzzy and myself (along with the rest of the team) agree that we MUST put out THE best content and production to the best of our ability's. The likeliness of these recordings getting listened to from someone outside of the Bitshare Eco-system, is very likely at anytime and that the thought of quality must be their first impression.
What they hear for the first time, will be indirectly perceived upon the rest of the BitShares project and work ethic. So it's safe to say, if they listen to shit quality recordings, then they could very possibly assume a shit quality product; then just turn and walk away with the thought that our whole Bitshare project is a joke and unprofessional.  These recordings are very much an integral part of the Front Line to Bitshares, whether most people realize it or not!


Outside of editing all the raw recordings and posting them SoundCloud,  I also pay close attention to all the numbers behind the scenes. Every week or so I'll dig into SoundCloud to see what people are listening to, along with the total number of "plays" of the previous weeks hangouts.
Over the past 8 months or so, listed below is what the "general" average DEV Hangout numbers look like...

Day 1 (of posting): 45-60 listens
Day 2 (of posting): 20-35 listens
Day 3 (of posting): 10-15 Listens
Day 4 (of posting): 3-12  Listens

Please keep in mind that some weeks double the average listens and some weeks are slightly below this average.

So in general, by looking at these numbers it's safe to assume that though these Hangouts and recordings are useful, we can conclude that majority of listeners are from the BitShares community... and we certainly appreciate your support!
Now that being said, some may wondering and start to question... "OK, so what value has this given the community?", 
"Why are we spending BTS delegate funds to support something that's not reaching outside Bitshares Eco-system?",
"Why or How is this benefiting me?"....
Stick with me, as this will all make sense and you'll see the method to my madness!

As I had mentioned already, the core focus of Beyond Bitcoin team has always been...
1) The Highest Quality Interview (Fuzzy and others)
2) Upgrade so more users can easily join into the conversations (Fuzzy, JoeyD, jabbajabba)
3) Edit and Post a High Quality Recording (emailtooaj, jabbajabba)
4) Make it easier and more enjoyable for people to find the Edited Recordings (Fuzzy, jabbajabba, emailtooaj)

Having a strong Beyond Bitcoin team working behind the scenes makes for an efficient work flow while also freeing up Fuzzy's time to do what he does best...
TALK... and Damn!  We know he likes to talk!!!  Dude won't shut up sometimes LOL   
All jokes aside...so by lightening up Fuzzy's workload while giving him more time to reach other people outside of the Eco-System, has manifested the newest branch of Beyond Bitcoin.

The Beyond Bitcoin "Bonus" Hangouts!

If this is the first time you've heard of these "Bonus" Hangouts then please visit BeyondBitcoin.org and check them out!

The first "Bonus" Hangout was with Dan Robles of CURIOSUME and was posted 5/10/2015.
I personally found this hangout to be very interesting and Mr. Robles is definitely a very cool guy!! You need to check it out if you haven't already!
The Soundcloud "plays" for this particular BONUS Hangout was pretty decent, considering the fact that this is the first one.
The play stats through a 10 day period had totaled to 79 listens. Not bad, not good... but this is going to get a bit more interesting!

The second "Bonus" Hangout was done with Jim Willie of GoldenJackass.com and posted 5/20/2015.
This interview went awesome!!  Sound quality wasn't on par in this recording, but believe us... this will NEVER happen again as we found the fix!!
But check out the numbers attained for Jim's "Bonus" Hangout (and I promise these numbers are NOT exaggerated!!!)...

Day 1 (of posting): 1,969
Day 2 (of posting): 7,335
Day 3 (of posting): 2,380
Day 4 (of posting): 2,589
Day 5 (of posting): 4,793
Day 6 (of posting): 4,956
Day 7 (of posting): 826
Day 8 (of posting): 32 *today*

A total of 24,880 listens in 8 days, WTF !!!!  Seriously!!!

THESE listeners are obviously people outside of the Bitshares community!!  The numbers get a lot more interesting; because these are NEW unique listeners,  guess what... they ALSO had gone through our previous recordings and actually took their time to listen to them.  You know, those DEV Hangouts everyone takes for granted!  Let me layout as to why and show you why I'm saying this...

During the same time period of 5/20 - 5/27 (the following days after Jim's Hangout got posted) they had also went back to listen to these recordings...

> Dev Hangout recording from 5/22/2015 --- 406 additional hits
> Dev hangout recording from 5/15/2015 --- 346 additional hits
> BONUS Hangout with Dan Robles 5/10/15 -- 161 additional hits
> Dev Hangout recording from 5/08/2015 --- 142 additional hits
> "Other Tracks" (SoundCloud won't break-down) --- 1,960 additional hits

Total "plays" from within the...
United States- 17,388 plays
Canada- 3,740 plays
United Kingdom- 1,541 plays
Australia- 1,246 plays
Germany- 515 plays
Netherlands- 406 plays
Singapore- 238 plays
New Zealand- 230 plays
Switzerland- 227 plays
Japan- 208 plays
Sweden- 206 plays
Thailand- 199 plays
Belgium- 176 plays
Malaysia- 171 plays
Hong Kong- 161 plays
Ireland- 141 plays
Spain- 134 plays
France- 132 plays
Mexico- 132 plays
Norway- 120 plays
etc, etc, etc.

These are just the top 20 countries of the 50 listed.

I'm very comfortable to say that many of Jim Willie's followers,  after listening to his Hangout,  had a genuine interest in Bitshares and wanted to find out what we're all about .
Now, can we say these same people actually took any action after they meandered around some of the Bitshare web sites and download the Bitshares client?
Unfortunately no. This hangout was way beyond anyone's expectations and we don't have a funnel in place for this referral tracking... YET!!
I myself find it strangely curious that during this same period of time,  while all these "plays" where happening,  that the BTS price had a nice little bump. Did they buy any BTS on the central exchanges???

Let me be clear and admit that I'm not actually trying to peg a price increase to the Jim Willie Hangout.  I just find it very coincidental!
Nothing more, nothing less! 
Of course with the recent news BM gave today, regarding a Fiat gateway,  this also makes sense for the price jumping up. You know,  from people "in the know". Buying up some cheap BTS and getting into position!  To bad I wasn't one of them  LOL
 
All in all after reviewing the Jim Willie numbers... the future is very, very promising!!   I know Fuzzy is looking forward to having more Hangouts with Jim in the near future and we'll see how this relationship could branch out for other opportunities for Beyond Bitcoin and our Bitshares community.


So if you could please keep these points in mind moving forward....

1) Shit in, shit out!
If you're planning to be part of the Hangouts then please make sure you're using a good mic to achieve the best sound possible!  I can only edit the recorded sound by so much.
Fuzzy or myself will gladly offer any help if need be.  Please remember that with any outside listeners,  their initial impressions are EVERYTHING!
You just never know who might be listening  (Hopefully some whales LOL).

2) Please continue voting for the Fuzzy.BeyondBitcoin Delegate so we can keep providing and expanding these Hangouts and our services.

3) Yes, Fuzzy is the founder of Beyond Bitcoin, but also remember... THIS IS NOT THE FUZZY SHOW!!!
This is for ALL OF US, the Bitshares Community!!! 

Your voice and opinions are just as important and more respected then you realize!  Don't be shy!  Interact with the Hangout guests... if your time permits.
Trust me, I've interacted with other community's before I decided to go all in with BitShares and this community is hands down the best out there!   

One last thing I'd like to say before heading off. 
MANY special Thanks to our community listeners along with an equally important Thank You to the remaining Beyond Bitcoin team members...
Fuzzy, jabbajabba, JoeyD, Clains and BtsWildpig.

You guys ROCK and I'm thankful that you continue to let me be part of this team!!

Hey everyone,

I'm wanting to update from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0 and have seen that most people are saying the wallet is running stable on 0.9.0.
I guess I have a few questions before I do the upgrade...

1) Do I need to (or still recommended) delete the roaming/app/data folder before installing new version (running Win 8.1)
2) After install and block chain re-synced, is it still needed to shut down and restart client to work out some bugs.
3) Any other bugs I should be aware of after the install?

I'm only asking these questions so others can benefit from this thread and I also need to minimize downtime as much as possible, so any help/suggestions from the community would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Hello Everyone,

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you're trying to explain or showcase to someone what Bitshares is all about and what it offers?
And their only reaction was...... HUH? 

Well.... I have... and in response I've put together, along with help from the Nullstreet crew, a full color Quick Info BitShares Tri-Fold Brochure.
This way anyone in our community can feel proud to print and share these brochures with anyone and everyone they know!
Below is a preview of the brochure and how it should look once folded.
Listed under the previews you'll find provided links to the .zip files for downloading. All files are separate, one for the Inside and one for the Outside (in Pdf, .tiff and .jpeg formats).
So printing should be easy enough for anyone.
Please keep in mind when printing these... the front AND back pages are meant to be printed onto ONE page so it can be easily folded into 1/3 sections.
So be aware of the page orientations, so that one side isn't printing upside down from the other. I highly recommend you do a test page first before printing off 100's or 1000's of these.
Also note, printing these in Black and White will still look awesome, but obviously color is the better option! 
One last suggestion when using this brochure...please try to have people use the QR code if at all possible. This is the only way of counting how many people actually used this brochure!

Thanks everyone!!
