May I make a suggestion? Being the media contact is exactly what I would like to be doing for bitshares. Positioning and messaging is one of my strong suits and I think I would be good at it, perhaps even as good as Dan and he would be free to spend his time on tasks with more value.I am not sure if I have Dan's star power and so Journo's may not be as excited to talk to me as they are him, but I think that would change in time.What do you think? Should be put on the site as the media contact and allow journo's to come straight to me?

This understanding and priority will grow over time and he expects that everyone of them will eventually cross their decision threshold when the time is right.Given the obvious number of partial misquotes that appear in that generally favorable article and the difficulty of even the greatest career politician to make a completely precise statement of fact on-the-fly in an interview, it is crazy to hold it up as an intentional misrepresentation of anything.Those who do, do more damage to the cause than the imprecision of the original quote.it's not about hold whom up , it's about this kind of statement could kill those potential deal if those company see that he's not good with a premature conversation that are supposed to be dealt with discreetly . Major companies are sensitive on that front . Incorrect quote is not the issue here , no one is perfect . But potentially damaging the potential partnerships with these company is the issue . It's better we realize this issue before we potentially kill something big like BTCC , OKcoin ( let's pretend if they actually would want to go with us , and this kind of quote would definitely kill the relationship . )

“We’ve talked to everyone from Coinbase to Bitstamp to BitPay, half a dozen others, and they all want to integrate with us, it’s just a schedule priority issue,” Larimer said.
.. they changed the title of the original post to .. BitShares Rebranding Signals New Communication Strategy
Larimer said that the BTSX shares operate in a different way to Ripple’s native tokens, XRP, comparing them to IOUs or promises that Ripple or its competitors will deliver the value when a redemption is requested.
Formerly operated by Invictus Innovations, the BitShares exchange is a product of BitShares X, a decentralised autonomous company (DAC) that specializes in the creation of BitAssets like BitUSD and BitCNY that are pegged to the BitShares blockchain.
Quote“We’ve talked to everyone from Coinbase to Bitstamp to BitPay, half a dozen others, and they all want to integrate with us, it’s just a schedule priority issue,” Larimer said.So when?
Overall I thought it was a good article, it explained some of the things we are trying to do. (Which is a hard task).The beginning seemed a bit confused, and confusing, and the title makes it seems like Bitshares has wronged people in some way, but at least it seems like a fair take on Bitshares, not pumping or trashing it.
And he still calls Bitshares "BTSX".
Really happy to see a BitShares article on Coindesk! Well done to anyone involved in that!
