Greetings.
We’re glad to hear there is still anticipation in the collective consciousness… you are not the first to reach out to us for a hint as to what is on the way.
The first reason that our videos haven’t yet reached the light of day has ultimately been the age old combination of time and money, in short supply. Second It’s been a crazy editing process with limited tools. Third, we both have busy lives endeavoring to make a living.
We would like nothing more than to be dedicated full time to the production of killer content for this community, but it’s been an ad hoc operation from the beginning, and even with two delegates we’re still hustling. Mind you no one wants to sell at this price, and although we’ve had to sell a few shares along the way, we’re not happy about it.
As to how much we are getting paid to release the footage.. nothing! And it will be licensed under a Creative Commons license
BY-SA, meaning anyone can reuse/remix our released footage in any video project.
We don’t expect payment, but we still need our videos to have maximum impact. So the lead-up & launch of 2.0 seems like best timing for several reasons: (i) we can recuperate more of our production costs by using the referral system, (ii) to help build excitement for 2.0, and (iii) delegate votes are going to be reset, so instead of wasting time re-campaigning for votes we’ll let our work speak for us.
We are
media delegates, not marketing delegates, so we plan to maintain our delegate position as long as it remains relevant. If Cryptonomex or one of its partners was to hire us directly, that would be a different story. But delegate pay continues to be a valuable resource for helping bootstrap this ecosystem. We will market where there is an easy opening for us, but that is not our specialty.
As to where production is currently at, we are on the third iteration of our material, and will be releasing one or more teasers closer to launch. At this point, we are full-on 2.0 or bust!
So, thanks for the opportunity to respond and give everyone an update. We’re blocking out major time on our calendars for the final push. And when we succeed in releasing the first round of videos, it’s back to Blacksburg.
