Hey LilJay no problem,

The platform [Sollywood TV and Sollars and Sense UIA] will be built on top of Bitshare's DAC/Wallet. We will be using Bitshares as a back end. So both Content Creators and Consumers who use the platform through their iPhones or Android devices will essentially be using Bitshares. And this is the Millennial generation we will be targeting (18-34 year old Male/Female). A highly sought after market of individuals. If Bitshares can capture this demographic with a killer application they actually want to use we win plain and simple.

My argument has always been the way to do that is through changing the content pricing system in Hollywood which consumers Hate and loathe in America (and Millennials are not adopting at all). Everyone is waiting for a better solution. Its a $200+ Billion industry just waiting to be disrupted like the Taxi system was waiting to be disrupted before Uber came along. That is what Part 1 is explaining. And just like Uber I am saying the Uber of the Hollywood and Cable Industry is our product.

Remember Bitcoin's market cap is $3-5 Billion with no clear utility for its technology in sight. The Content Distribution industry is $200+ Billion. Now imagine its disruptor being built on top of Bitshares. Cha-ching! There is plenty of room for growth and disruption in this industry and again Sollars and $ense UIA is going to be the key. Hope that clears up the confusion. If not let me know. Thanks!

So you are going to sell content to consumers and bitshares or bitassets or UIA's will be the currency?  Bitshares makes money through transaction fees?

So people deposit usd to get access to content, this usd is then converted to bitUSD or some other bitasset and transferred to the creator.  This way the creator doesn't have to deal with a bank... they can distribute to anyone.  Does this sound correct?

Excellent! Yes Lil Jay its very close with very small tweaks. The user deposits USD with us ( and payment processor) and gets the UIA in return. They then use this UIA to interact with Content Creators and Content.

This way neither the User or the Content Creator deals with the Banks or any other middle man that would want a piece of any transaction should it have been in USD. Payment processors and banks are VERY SERIOUS about getting a piece of transactions that happen in USD. This is even at price points below a penny. So we do away with all that Red tape.

Once content creators make enough of our UIA they can exchange it back to USD or BitUSD. Or they can keep it in the system and use it for Sollar ads to promote their content and potentially rack up more audience members  It is up to them.

Remember this system works for all content creators from Student Filmmakers all the way up to Hollywood Big Wigs. That is what is revolutionary in my humble opinion. Hope this makes $ense. Thanks for the thoughtful question.

Have you considered using MUSE?

I think you should work with muse chain. You can use same backend and your model overlaps the peer track model.  You could just brand a sollywiid version and save at least 80% of the development.

Thank you Cube and Pheonike for the heads up. It is very much appreciated! As Brandon suggested I have considered MUSE. I would rather build on top of Bitshares but hey we all have to do what we must do. I will reach out to COB and see what he says now that there is more of a structure on my end and not just ideas. It seems like they could probably use me and this KickStarter project right now. We will see.

"Everyone hates cable... even cable hates cable."  LOL.

Looking great Solly! The animations are killer, the voiceover and audio is great, it's engaging!  if only folks knew how long someone has to stare at a screen to make all that cool stuff happen!  I think coders of all people should understand.

I support you in accomplishing your vision however you see fit, and however you can manage.  As content creators we have to stick together in the face of all this fierce practicality.. eg. What's wrong with a horse?  Then later, if humans were meant to fly we'd have wings!  Then later, the internet, I don't think it will be used for much.  Then later, Uber? what?  We already have taxis!

The list of successful human innovations goes on, and each of them had their detractors.  As we progress into greater and greater abstractions of value, it just gets more difficult to convey the meaning behind a project of any enormity.  I'm happy to see you are still pressing forward despite working with limited resources, and facing doubters everyday.

Count me among your supporters, and though I'm stretched pretty thin on all fronts, let me know how I can help.

@cube you can be sure Solly has considered using MUSE, but why would we want to send him away to join a separate chain when we can have a killer content sharing app operating on the BitShares blockchain?  MUSE needs some competition, after all.

Brandon your support means a lot. As you suggested individuals do not know the time it takes to make great content. I've been on both sides of the aisle now with Code and Film. I wish more could appreciate it. But its understandable given the climate as you suggested.

You know what just reaching out means everything. Keep your holdings I'll remember this when this all blows up next year 

You hit it on the nail better than I can. Everything that is innovative is met always with detractors and I am actually okay with that. Comes with the territory.

I  do have one final question about the proposal. What would be the process to even formally submit a proposal to see if it could get partially funded? Or is there one? Let me know. Thank you all for the constructive feedback! It really is appreciated.

@lovejoy

I was just looking through Solly's delegate thread and there is not much he did. Actually just text and the video for BunkerShares which was in February. So he did not cut the road video you say, hm, what's left then?

He woke up in August when he was voted out. Followed by large text walls with nothing inside but 'sorry, take full responsibility' generic sry bullshit.

We could have needed a little 1 minute video to promote BTS2.0 in October. Nothing. Around 7 months of delegate pay. Now he needs more money..

FACEPALM

Sir you are confused... It is increasingly clear you are not taking the time to understand this project and its goals. If you can seriously go through each element I posted for the proposal and come to the ridiculous conclusion there is not much I have done?

Do you know the going rates for animation compositing in America? Do you know the going rates for narration and video production in America? Do you know the amount of time it takes to do that for one individual on the budget I have? Do you know you have to actually compensate individuals who help on your set productions? Do you know the going rate for camera rentals? Are you serious?

I am fine with you not believing this project can help Bitshares (for whatever reason) but to say I have not done anything is highly disingenuous. I have done much and I plan to do much more. I have laid out from the very beginning my goals and roadmap. Everything is still on schedule.

If you are going to post here I suggest you actually try to understand the project and the amount of time it takes for content creation. This is a Powered by Bitshares project not a promote Bitshares technology to the masses project. I dont believe promoting Bitshares functions will be its killer app I believe promoting Bitshare's Entrepreneurial community will be its killer app. It is WE (You and I) the people need not the technology.

I am an entrepreneur using this technology to reach a new audience. That audience does not need Bitshares, it needs to use Bitshares through a product that will actually change their everyday lives. That is Sollars and $ense UIA with the marketplace Sollywood TV. And it needs a face and voice to connect to. That is me. Humans connect with humans.

Have you listened to these episodes that will be cut?

Episode 2 - Bitshares Community(Audio)

Episode 5 - Customers Call to Action (Audio)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drU-RrS-o20&feature=youtu.be

As a matter of fact have you listened to any of the episodes? Do you understand when these episodes air they will be viewed by Millennials? What platform currently on Bitshares has a Millennial audience? Or a laid out plan to get them? Do you believe these scripts and that voice created itself?

Again you do not have to believe in this project. You have that freedom. But lets try to stay on topic and stay positive. FUDing me doesn't get me or you anywhere closer to a larger market cap. If you have concerns ask a question. I would be more than willing to explain any portion of my roadmap with the content I have laid out in the Stakeholder's Proposal. It is laid out for a reason. Understand that each content piece I laid out has taken time and thought to create. I would appreciate that.

Thank you and everyone have a nice Thanksgiving!

i like your project and i think you have one of the best voices and faces for audio and video!

i think you will not get a worker proposal, this has nothing todo with the bitshares core funtcions, but take a look into creating
UIA like OBITS or METAFEES and make it part of the Kickstarter fundraiser.

First round (1.400 USD needed)
- fundraiser from the community to get working
Second round on kickstarter? 100.000 + creating new accounts for bitshares (so potential referral income from the kickstarter campaign)

what is the business model at all? you want to replace the kabel system but how?

Hey Shentist! Thanks for the constructive response. Yes I have not been paying attention very closely to how everything works in terms of Worker's Proposal. I just thought I would do one and see what the response is from the community. Either way I'm running the kickstarter and just wanted to see if the community would help out based on what has been completed. It takes a lot of work to make the type of stuff I have done.

Business model is pretty simple. Providing content at the right price (no matter how small the price point has to be). We would take a 10 to 20% cut from content partners who sell their visuals with us. The key here is understanding the UIA plays as a liberator for the rest of content creators who cannot partner with Netflix and see the Free pricing model of YouTube and its sharing revenue model as a dead end.

Let me know if there are any questions. Thanks for the feedback!

UPDATE:

Finally got the proposal up and a full update. Thanks for the patience everyone. Check it out and lets get started with this:

By the way can anyone point me to a worker's proposal template? Or where they are posted on this forum? Thanks!

UPDATE:

One more Screen shot from the upcoming documentary series set to air on our Facebook page (New Money page coming soon) and as Facebook/Twitter ads. To the Bitshares community remember the purpose of this series is to get the word out about this project and its Kickstarter BEFORE we actually launch a kickstarter. This way we can actually be successful. The documentary series is being created for that function. Once there's enough buzz we will launch some time early next year.

I'll have a rough cut up this week so individuals in the community can take a look at it. Ask questions and make any suggestions they would like. A worker's proposal to fund this bad boy's pre-marketing campaign will be up later this month/early next month. We are getting closer. Stay tuned!

Hello Bitshares community. Hope all is well 

As I get closer to revealing some of the work I am getting done for my current powered by Bitshares project I am looking to request Brownie Points.

As we all know I am currently not a Delegate anymore with the new system. I hope to change that with what I have to show the community in the coming weeks. In the meantime for the work I have done up until this point I would like to request 400 Brownie Points for the hours I have put in for this project up until now. It will really go a long way in helping me out.

I look forward to what 2016 will bring for all of us. Stay tuned
