Come on people, we can't repeat again all the marketing mistakes we always do.
When (or if) this will be rolled out, everybody should be marketing in any way they can. Version number will be changed to 2.1 to signal that Bitshares has been changed in a major way. This is not even a cheap gimmick but totally true. After this change Bitshares will become somewhat usable for projects that need micropayments. And Bitshares can be used all over the world, even in poor countries where people can't afford to pay our current fees. This will be first economically viable option for third world countries – with smartcoins this is a huge opportunity for billions of people.
All the basic things have to be done:
- Information on the website: main page, technology overview page and blog
- Press release
- Try to get Bytemaster to as many podcasts as possible
- Pictures to be shared on social media
- etc, add your own
Let's not fail again and keep a new feature as our own secret. Hasn't anybody been wondering why FBA isn't getting any traction? Because nobody knows about it. There's not even a mention about FBA in the website!
I'd like to see some marketing budget to be included in the worker proposal, for example for a short video that explains clearly how Bitshares will function from now on. This revolutionary feature has to be understood, otherwise people won't get interested and won't care.
