Excellent suggestions Adam!I would really encourage invictus to emulate them ASAP and get at least a temporary blog up that can be the central repository for the most important information every invictus investor/donor should know.
I particularly like this idea.
Ideally we would want Brain to do more on the on-camera press, etc. but everyone who has met Dan knows he is pretty convincing.
Daniel is good at talking on the fly, and a great presenter when talking about the more technical stuff. More general stuff (like the snapshot and upcoming plans) can be handled by someone else.
Invictus's only advantage is DACs that make economic sense and are truly value-producing.
I think this is great news. Sounds like there's huge upside potential for BTSX, now that the snapshot is taken.
This was my first thought as well. I love Invictus, but as an investor that's how I think.
I think web strategy is very important to any crypto. Not just website, but presence.
I think opportunity has and continues to be wasted by letting these very basic things go undone.
For the right amount of protoshares most of us would gladly advertise and market any website Invictus wants marketed.
But instead they've decided to go with this centralized top down marketing campaign.
They have all these angelfunds and they have people on this forum willing to do marketing. Why not use the community to do marketing? We all own PTS/AGS and we all want more, so they have ways to give us incentives to market whatever information they want us to market but they aren't giving us any talking points, any websites or signature codes, etc.
What's really lacking is transparency in all of this. Brian is basically working alone in his locked room waiting for magic to happen. He doesn't really update the community and from what I've seen, he isn't really using the community and integrate them in his marketing strategy. There are so many smart people on this forum that are eager to spread the word and help with some marketing here and there.
I think this applies to their whole financial strategy. I tried to instill a sense of urgency in the
allocation of resources thread. The ultimate problem here still seems to be that Invictus thinks they have enough creativity and intelligence to produce an optimal financial plan to spend the resources they are getting. But this is impossible in light of the fact that 100 PTS distributed across the right 4-5 people can do more than they can dream of. Thus, they need dedicated places where the community can criticize their overall spending-strategy, and contribute ideas, and even be rewarded for good ideas on how to spend their money.
There is almost no presence on Bitcointalk.
There has been little to no incentives for people like me to evangelize. In the last week however, it seems that Invictus is hiring people and getting help from people to manage social media.
Brian contacted me a few days ago asking for help with Bitcointalk. I view this as a good sign that things are starting to happen and I'll help work on upping the presence on Bitcointalk in the following weeks. Hopefully, there will be a much larger grass-roots push with incentives in the following months. Part of this however needs to be a decentralized way of providing incentives (referral systems is
one such way, "propose microbounty thread" is another such way, etc.).
Overall excellent thread. So many constructive suggestions!
Very promising. Much excitement.
