Can I ask your association with paycoin?  I actually intentionally didn't follow the twitter account specifically because of the association with paycoin.

Not trying to be negative here,  but I was decided pretty far removed from what paycoi model was.

Im sorry but what the hell is going on here? Please no mention of "paycoin"!  :o This is like the opposite of marketing lol I don't understand the thinking here.

I know some influencers thanks to my activity in many communities.

Paycoin is probably the best place to market bitshares  -  why? Most of their userbase is extremely frustrated with the coin and actively looking for alternatives.

Update: opened a twitter acc for this https://twitter.com/btsfav @btsfav

Also, I'll register a domain and run a monthly raffle (similiar to paycoin.ws) - I've seen the statistics of their raffle, it's kind of amazing given the fact that this coin has bad press.

For this, I'd need around $30 for domain register.

For transparency's sake; last weekends winner did not claim the 500 BTS (looks like a bot) - so they will be recycled in this weeks' raffle :)

Btw, I'd still like to run a little monthly raffle site - similar to paycoin.ws - but without advertisements. I'd need a domain, the one I want would cost around 30 BitEUR per anno, and a monthly budget for the raffle. 1000 BTS per month + around $5 BitUSD for some cheap advertisement campaigns would be okay.

I appreciate the updates on what you are doing, I'm sure other shareholders do too.

Could you give us a list of topics you'd like covered for blog posts?
I'd like to help but I don't know where to start

I'm no good at SEO but I think I can write an interesting short article about most of BitShares.
With all the changes to BitAssets and upcoming announcements I'm wary of writing about any of the technical stuff that's subject to change
