Title: Critical Marketing Update Needed - "What is the 'yield'?"
Post by: oldman on September 09, 2014, 09:06:38 pm
Yield on bitAssets will commence after the 0.4.13 fork.

This is a complete game changer in the crypto space and should be marketed heavily as such.

Once stabilized/functional it would highly advantageous to issue a press release and update any and all FAQ's to address yield.

I would suggest particular attention be paid to explaining, simply and clearly, where the yield comes from.

Folks are going to be screaming ponzi and scam.

I'm sure you guys are on it, but I haven't seen plans yet (or I missed them, entirely possible).

This should be huge.

 +5% At the very least this needs to be covered on crypto related news sites. I think it'll all come down to how it's framed... "Earn 10% interest on BTC" may be one way to position this so it'll get picked up by bitcoin oriented news sites. I'll be thinking more about how to get publicity around this...

for sure I'd like to use some of these infographics on my site and I think there was at least one that might make a good vertical banner ad so please let everyone know when there are usable versions done and where they are.

Will let you know GaltReport.

Xeroc, can we post all the infographics into 1 thread when things are done.

OldMan and anyone reading this (any opinion fine) - When should we send out the infographics to our crypto users and others?

Release should wait until the devs feel the yield mechanism is stable/functioning as expected.

Given how well 0.4.13 is performing this should not be more than two or three days, perhaps less.

Also need to have some basic info about what the yield actually is - nice to have some round numbers for folks to get excited about.

Sounds good.  So release the infographics in 2 - 3 days after release of feature?
