Any negativity you perceive from me is just me trying to encourage people to think outside the box in some manner.  Come up with a campaign about what we will do with x % of the transaction fees.

Actually I did not perceive any negativity from you… quite the opposite I ‘read’ too much of a soft touch where it was not needed (in my opinion).

If you read my comments in the other thread as negativity towards you – it is only strong opinions towards ideas… I tend to be harsh (harsher/more open, than expected/appropriate in the US society today, but my opinion on people is not the same as my opinion on their ideas)… let me give you an example with other people so there is no personal feelings involved  - I am pretty open in expressing my disagreement with the proposals/ideas etc of BM (in more occasion than one perceived as pure rudeness by the prevailing social norms of today’s US) . But this does not change my believe that he is one of the geniuses of our time (and one with the least egoistic behaviors at that) and he has the chance to be the next Bill Gates 10-15 years from now…

Back to the main topic ...

I consider you as one of the most thoughtful people here and any perceived negativity towards you is totally unintentional and not related to what I think about you.

There will be delegates for every DAC.  I am just trying to get people interested.  I can easily have multiple partners.  I have not turned down anyone or made any decisions.  A few people I am more interested in others, but in the end AFAIK the work supporting 3 delegates is not the same as the sum of 3 people supporting 1 delegate.  Just like most things, there is an economy of scale. So from my profit interests and that of Bitshare's interest, it seems to make sense to take most people as partners if they are serious.  Maybe some will get voted out, but I suspect it might be pretty easy for most of us of the partners to be voted in initially.

 I'm so busy with various things and my goofing off.  I have not turned down anyone.  There is so much going on and things are so rapidly evolving.  I am not trying to discourage anyone.

I talked to the person who will be helping me upkeep this stuff and really the labor involved on the technical side will be proportional to the # of code updates per DAC * hosts.  I assume I3 will come up with tools to help this.  It will also become an issue when/if Delegates start being DDOSed, but we will deal with that when we cross it.  I expect to work with multiple people.


We're still so early in the game, we all have a chance to have part of a Delegate !

Somebody else suggesting tweeter as a way to market your selves was my guess, but I could not put it as it was a pure speculation.

If you are trying to put an end to this discussion because you have found what you are looking for, just say it straight!
 No hard feelings, at least not from me. You know what you needed - which is good; and you found him/her - which is great.

If this is the case – Good Luck! and ‘Let the votes be always in your favour!’

gamey:
I received offers in private and some of them have talked about tweeting.  I was not referring to you Tony.  Tweeting is valuable, no doubt about it.  I was just hoping to somehow find people who could really really help with marketing.  (Again, not trying to be insulting...)

The best offer I've had to help Bitshares is someone has offered to create a website that will describe all the DACs and be a go to resource for them.  Thats what I am hoping to hear !  I want to inspire someone in a way that will help in a manner unthought of previously.  A DAC directory.  Basic, but it is a hell of a good start.  The person has website skills and that was their offer.  Perfect ! 

PS - I edited the previous post to keep it all more on topic.

Actually I was going to make a post about things.  2 people have expressed interest.  It isn't a matter of me "picking" people.  It is more a matter of you guys being able to provide value to the Bitshares community.  By providing value (or perhaps unfortunately just perceived value) we will become and remain a delegate.  So that is what I am looking for.  Tweeting is great, but if you're not playing the Twitter game with 100's of followers then what is the real value ? (Not to insult anyone, I have nothing better to offer..)  Bitshares needs people actively doing something.  It is a hard thing.  I do not have any real plans or suggestions.  I am just hoping to inspire someone.  It seems conceivable to me that the right marketer could justify multiple delegates.
