Thanks for the heads up. I've been in touch with Adam for a while and would run through the concept with him later today.
I've also been looking at the referral program, but I'll wait until the big announcements are made before I take a shot at it as product changes could affect business cycles within FS.

I've internally been discussing Moonstone for a fund raiser of sorts for a few projects we have in our pipe-line but its too early to spill the beans on those at the moment.my

Currently, my primary concern is to complete the on-platform dev works to deliver these video ads / opinion polls in a reliable fashion.
It would cost us anywhere between 5-7k  and 3 weeks of work to do that. 

I don't know much, just stuff from FS

Hey,

I've requested a business associate of mine to take a look at this.
He supplies my start-up with a steady source of Bitcoin and is looking to diversify into ATM's.
He is a biz grad from a top tier college in America and has been working along with my team towards tapping opportunities within the emerging crypto-sphere. He is currently in Chicago and has told me he will look into this once he's back, which should be around Tuesday.



P.s - I personally don't believe ATM's alone would bring in mass adaption of bitshares, but yes - it would be a factor.
Regards

Hey there guys,

As some of you may know, we are soon to integrate the option to deliver custom video ads and garner opinion polls in real time from our user base. Assuming monthly individual connections in the range of 100,000 and 5 sessions that last  anywhere between 45 mins- 2 hours, we are in a position to garner approximately 500,000 video views and 1 million opinion polls. In addition to on-boarding users via on-site experiences (like we did with mynxt), this gives us the advantage to create an all round experience where advertisers can

1. Display what they do via ads
2. Garner market research via the polls
3. Incentivise signing up towards their platform through on-platform give aways.


Going ahead, in the event that we do attain sufficient scale to become an advertising agency, we have the ability to disperse a part of our income towards game server owners that sign up with us. This enables us to become an agreegrator of free game servers around the world and create an umbrella corp that permits server owners to run their servers in a sustainable fashion. The mode of ad delivery in the current state remains less intrusive and allows users to go about gaming without being disturbed.

Bringing in the element of a Nxt Ms-Currency / Bitshares UIA allows us to do a number of things

1. Incentivize users viewing ads in real time. We could issue tokens that could be redeemed for features within the platform
2. Incentivize server owners that sign up with us in real time
3. Create a marketplace for advertisers to "bid" on ad spots / opinion polls
4. Raise funds for creating the current advertising system by selling these tokens in advance. Redemption of tokens permitting the end user to have a video ad displayed. Hoarders have the benefit of selling them off later to prospective advertisers and  making a slight profit.


I am looking for further means to integrate the offering of these systems into the platform we intend to build in the months to come and am open to suggestions and queries from here. Would love to hear the opinions of the community as we move ahead with this.


P.s - I have posted this in the nxt forum too. I would love to hear what seperates Bitshares UIA from Nxt's Monetary system and know the key differences.

informative!

did you know? With the new affiliate program coming up, you have a nice incentive to promote bitusd & get funds for prize pools.

Yes, we've been looking into avenues and opportunities

Hey guys,

Figured it would be cool to drop by and share info on what we do / intend to grow into in the coming months.
We intend to work with Bitshares in the months to come and I figured, it will be smart to create a slate explaining our growth and vision

Feel free to drop by and ask questions / Pm.
I've been hearing a lot of Bitshares Play and would like to see how we could possibly work together  in the months to come.

Not going to drop too many details.. but *cough* www.join.freebieservers.com *cough* 
More coming next month.

A bit saddened by the lack of enthusiasm
Having that said, we have a brand new product launch lined up for this month.
Should be able to preview it in the days to come... and yes, it supports Bitshares.

There are things going on behind the scenes - sadly am not yet in a state to post them publicly. I'll post more information if a few things fall in place
