First, let me introduce myself. I've been around Bitshares since late 2014, back when workers and witnesses were combined as "delegates", and we ran v0.9 as a desktop client. Then in the summer of 2015, I contracted directly for Cryptonomex for a couple months, doing UI work for the light wallet. I've always been fascinated by the tech behind Bitshares.
For several years, I have run a Youtube channel under the brand
Chronos Crypto, which consists primarily of news, lectures, walkthroughs, and product reviews. Check it out at
https://www.youtube.com/c/ChronosCrypto.
Now that the BTS 2.0 tech is complete and running smoothly, it's time to bring it the masses. There's so much to cover. Below are a few video ideas:
# Tech Lectures (Example video:
Xtreme Thinblocks)
- DPOS for Dummies (witness roles; the advantage over PoW)
- Hired by the Blockchain (worker roles)
- Power to the People (committee roles)
- Decentralized Consensus (proxy voting)
- What is a SmartCoin? (shorts and margin calls)
- Peg All the Things (price feeds and forced settlement)
- Refer a Friend (referral/registrar system)
- Custom Account Permissions (Threshold accounts, weight-based accounts, and multi-sig accounts)
# Walkthroughs (Example video:
Getting Started with Electrum)
- Creating an account on OpenLedger
- Trading on the DEX
- Securing your wallet with cold storage
- Creating and managing your own assets
- Setting up a witness node
- Buying a lifetime account for marketing referrals
# News & Announcements (Example video:
Bitcoin Classic)
- New features (stealth transactions, subsidizing market liquidity, trollbox in the DEX, etc.)
- Announcements (new worker or witness proposal to consider)
- Trending discussions
I propose to create a worker role to produce Bitshares videos under the Chronos Crypto brand. The YouTube channel has well over 400 subscribers, and is well-known in the bitcoin community, so this content will be dual-purpose: to bring new users to the platform, and to help make Bitshares more comprehensible for all of us.
If elected, I will produce a
minimum of 3 Bitshares-related videos per month, and publish them on the YouTube channel. In exchange, the worker role will be 500,000 BTS per month, or about $1800 at current prices. I propose to run a worker term of 3 months, and then we can re-assess at that time. If BTS holders are pleased with my work, it's likely that a second term will be an option.
