Guys, I'm wondering if all of the above is all too high brow and technical.
The reason I say this is because in not technically minded at all and I don't really understand it. I appreciate that most of the community at large are IT experts, that's why I'm supporting Protoshares but the key thing here is identifying who our market is.
My thinking is that the majority of technically minded ppl already identify with PTS as a worthy investment, however it's the 30-something young professional or recent retiree; who has a bit of disposable income available, has read about bitcoin and who would love to get involved ,if he just so knew how, and could wrap his head around it; that we need to be targeting.
Are we preaching to the converted?
Anyway enough preaching, how can this be done..
I think let's go back to basics..
Use me as a guinea pig.. I still can't wrap my head around it completely. Lets start with an example.. back when you first had a hotmail account.. explaining email to your gran..
What is email? Email is a revolutionary new way of staying in touch by computer.. like sending a letter without the need for a stamp.
OK moving on to Protoshares and using that model where you are explaining cryptos to that 30 something year old with money to burn over lunch.. "hey check out this link
www.protoshares.com it will let you get involved."
Im going to work within Super3's framework and pose a few questions of my own..
Opening page..
Protoshares.. Crypt-equity!You've heard of cryptocurrency..(what are cryptos link), know its the future... wish you were involved from the start and want to be involved in the next big thing?
Welcome to Protoshares, we see crytpocurrency as the future and need your backing to make it happen.
Get involved at the grass roots stage and reep the benefits.
What are Protoshares?Protoshares are a means of investing in the future of cryptocurrency. Protoshares are mined just like bitcoin, this means they require computer power to be made.. computers breakdown complex algorithms cracking code to produce each unique piece of data, each Protoshare.
Our Unique selling point!What makes us different than bitcoin?
Protoshares can then by bought, sold and invested without fees by miners and users alike.
But.. Protoshares are more than just another Bitcoin... Protoshares are an investment.
Aside from hassle free international money transfer, with faster transfer times and user anonymity Protoshares allow an investment opportunity.
In a young, volatile market a successor is needed to ensure stability.. every Protoshare you hold allows you to invest in something bigger.. the future of cryptocurrency, its workings, the hardware and software that surrounds it...we call it Crypt-equity.
Think of it like mining for gold and then investing that gold into something bigger.
How does it work? (i.e. what are DACS)
DACS: Tools for the crypto eraHere at Invictus (link 'about us') we aren't sitting happy having created our own cryptocurrency, rather we are hard at work in an active community creating tools for the cryptocurrency era.. we're talking e-wallets, trading platforms, unique trading ID's... (link to Keyhotee ID etc)

Tools for the crypto era
In terms of the layman vs tech explanations a nice idea would be to use both.. beside each explanation have a Tech logo (the Tony Starks vs Joe Bloggs approach the Tech vs the layman) This link could be clicked on for the more technical explanations on each section.. Keeping it separate isnt a bad thing.. even the technically minded people dont mind a marketing spiel so long as it explains it adequately before they can get down to the nitty-gritty.
A final point is the concept of bitshares... I think the 1:1 allocation is a good idea.. i'm just wondering why is it necessary.. if branding and word of mouth is already established for Protoshares would it not be better to keep the name Protoshares but allow Protoshares to envolve into what Bitshares represent?
if what i say has value, by bounty or otherwise i appreciate the PTS PY7zWXa1fx632te5jdqmkpuzuZ3zxdHveK
