Offer them 1 PTS for the names. Then laugh.

I would say I don't quite sure whether this is whole good thing to discover the unnecessity of mining. Mining used to solve the both security and money distribution problem at the same time, in a coupled way. When the money are burned, a waste it is. The money used in mining becomes nothing, and no legal and political problem, no need to audit.

After all, why would we burn the money while there's no need to do it? Does mining still worth survive?

Bytemaster and I reached that conclusion a while ago. This is why I've supported Peercoin for months. Mining is dead and we have something to replace it.

Then again everyone wants a free lunch(heh I'm mining right now). Mining is more about advertising and making a profit than securing the blockchain.

can we lock one of your protoshares.net posts? Iam asking cause of its difficult to follow the progress if it's posted in many different posts. it might be a little bit confusing.

Yes please. I've been too busy to ask for proper form perms.

Website is now http://protoshares.com. I've hired a writer who is writing some excellent copy. Things of note:



Community Does Not Like the New Logo:
We need to have a discussion with Brian about branding in general when he gets back. This is high priority.

Community Wants Better Access to Information:

• Blog will provide weekly updates. Will launch with the Invictus website.
• Twitter will provide daily/real-time updates. Will launch in a few days.

Feature Freeze After Resources Page is Created:
Need to focus on the Invictus website and Keyhotee. Glaring issues should be reported here. https://github.com/super3/protoshares.net/issues?state=open
That is the only place where I can keep track, and address issues. If you email or PM me it will simply get lost.

Say Something. Do Something.
This is my personal philosophy. If you see me doing something wrong, call me out on it. So as far as a website issue, posting on the forums(good), raising a Github issue(better), pay someone to fix it or fixing the issue yourself and putting in a pull request(best possible!).

Translations Needed
We are global. Need to translate the website into multiple languages. If you are multilingual we would love you help. Chinese and Russian are the priorities.

Donations Welcome.
Hiring one writer for $20/hr out of my pocket has almost tripled my productivity. Donations welcome to speed up my workflow, and hire more freelancers.

Ok. Added a blog to my development queue.

First impressions / critiques:

- I think it's worth finding whomever snatched up the .com or .org. It's hard to take anybody seriously on a .net these days, unless the branding really sells the product as a 'network'.

- I'm not a fan of the new logo. The 'p' created by the negative space is not obvious, and as others have mentioned, it is very similar to the GameCube logo... I think this concept can work if the negative space is more obvious, however it may be difficult to pull that off.

- Too much space between everything. I understand you don't want to cram everything together, but I think a better balance can be achieved.

- Is there going to be a video on the top laptop screen? This would be very effective.

- 'Distributed' is not aligned with the other two on the same row. Similar alignment issue with items underneath 'Why Protoshares?'

- Internet slang 'tl;dr' seems out of character and unprofessional.

- Stan's original quote "What's backing your coin?" is much more powerful and provocative than this paraphrased version. This version is perhaps more civil, but I don't think the change is doing it any favors in terms of leaving a lasting impression.

- Lists are better when they have introductions, like you did under 'Early Start'. This would fill out the site a little more too, which it seems it needs.

As a positive, this site already feels a lot less like a scam than competitor websites. I think the next big priority would be to produce a video (animations, voice actors, etc), and have it auto-start on arrival. The ideas behind DACs are exciting, and a good video explaining the core concepts of DACs and how they relate to ProtoShares will get people pumped and ready to invest. "This is the future, man!"

Also, I will do the PTS favor- PM me your address.

- Contacted Amazon for .com name.
 
- I'll let Brian handle that

It would really help me out if you created individual Github issues for each one of your points. https://github.com/super3/protoshares.net/issues
Thanks!

http://protoshares.net is up. I need your feedback and critique.
