DonJoe how old are you? Zeus is this the Cryptsy guy?

If you are considering to put money in storj: ANYONE WHO DEALS WITH SUPER3 IS AN IDIOT!

Empirical1,

Great idea on the news site.  I've watched coindesk rise in the rankings as they've produced an incredibly in depth resource and capture a lot of eyes, so such a site could eventually get a lot of visitors.   My only thought is, if it's entirely DAC focused will we have enough news content to fill out the site?

As far as the 3-4 min weekly round up idea, I'm already on it.  I interviewed on video all the core devs in VA last week about the project, what they're working on, etc and am now editing a 3-5 min video out of it, kind of a "behind the scenes with BitShares" video.   I'm going to do another in July at the VA tech corporate research center where the team is now focusing operations.  That will be a "Summer of Code" video. So while not weekly, it will be monthly.   I also got some short updates in Chinese and Russian and I plan to continue to film people using non-english languages as well, so we can share our videos with as wide an audience as possible....

Good job, but this is not what we are expecting from you. You should be focusing making industry connections in cryptoworld, talking to different developers  about potential cooperation (you never did). Talking to SEC and investment bank about bitshares X and potential regulation risk (have you ever?). organizing mumble session and google video talk to community when software is delayed (volunteers are doing this),  presenting in conference when BM is busy (you went as audience). giving a much better website (majority don't think the 6th version is good). hiring someone who can shoot a beautiful video and publish to social after 2 hours editing (are you doing this job, is it hard?). What you did in past 6 months is hard to qualify as an intern.

I would expect the valuable suggestion that Empirical1 is making actually from you. at that time bitshares is facing success.

If I am not a shareholder, I already hack into bitshares.org and change the slogan to "Brian to bitshares is what cancer is doing to human"

All you need is a domain and a server. Download the files from Github and maintain it.

The current one likes a dating website instead of a cutting edge technology.

Just another alternative option for users the choose. I would like to donate 20 PTS for the work.

1) If you have 20K of AGS why have you only been a forum member for one week with a total of 8 posts on this forum?  I would think someone with such a large investment would be involved much earlier than a week and have more than 8 posts. (Unless you donated  20k worth all within the last week - which is clearly not the case). You seem to be aware of the earlier websites, invictus.io, past progress, etc, - so you're certainly not new to BitShares/Invictus.

Haha, this is exactly what I am waiting for. You took half length of your reply to prove I am a sockpuppet, no wonder why our website and social media suck. What is wrong with using another handle?? BM has second ID, and what if I am Dan (just kidding). I am a senior member of the forum and continuing making my contribution. I support this project but disagree with what is going on with the marketing.

2) What is your real name? Who are you? Why should I say "how hi?" when you say jump?  Mine name is Brian Page. Everyone knows my real name, my salary, what I look like, there isn't much privacy when you have a job like this, so how about you tell us who you are? You're of course not required to do so to speak on this forum, but you are if you want me to answer your questions.

Ha, why should I reveal myself. I am not taking 1 cent from AGS fund, but you do. Now you complaining about it? Nobody cares where you live, what you look like (although you are getting fatter and fatter since joining I3, nice salary hah?). We only care whether you are doing good. Obviously not. We all made mistakes, but the most concerning part is you refuse to admit it.

3) And finally, I suggest anyone who'd like to speak to me (including DonJoe) feel free to send me a PM and we'll set up a skype call, or join us on our next marketing conference call.  Or,  if you like,  feel free to come visit me and the team when I'm in VA.  My "door" is always open and I'm happy to discuss anything.  In fact, if Xeroc or Fuznuts would like to jump on a call, I'd also enjoy speaking with you two or anyone else, anytime. I don't hide behind the forum name MktDirector. 

I am not interested in a personal fight or a joint call with you. I think I should let you know that not only Xeroc and Fuznuts having questions, I received several PMs complaining about you or giving me advice to contact you. They will all look at your response and how you treat your shareholders.

Yes, the community has a right to ask questions (which I do answer in detail - as I did the last set of questions you're referred to in your post) - but I suspect there's something else going on here.  If you'd provide some clarity to my questions, I'd be happy to answer yours. 

The only answer I got from you is YOU ARE INVITED TO ST MARTIN! Nothing else. Stan is answering the question, not you. And there are still several questions unanswered. You have your right not answering them, I have my right to ask. All the I3 team is working great except you. I am going to give my 10th post as a poll to fire you. I think this is the second time the community want to fire you. Why it never happen to anyone else? I don't think you are able to figure it out.  Because I think you have never done any internet marketing job before, how did BM chose you?!

Stay cool, see you in next post.

Dear Mr. Page, could you please address my concerns about the current marketing situation?

I am really worried about what you are doing is harmful to bitshares project, just like what super3 did.

Thanks xeroc and fuznuts for your thought. I am going to send a PM to MktDirector about these questions.

I agree the PTS should be updated, my point is why not just keep using PTS instead of PTS2.

Stan, thank for reply. Could you please also tell me:

• What happened to invictus.io?
• Would you like to provide a list of current payroll in AGS? I know everyone can check the spreadsheet, but I think the shareholders/donators deserve to see an official list. Do you agree or not?
• Why are we still paying 100btc per month to Poland team? Is it a long term contract? If they fail to finish Keyhotee in 5 years, they can keep getting 100BTC/month?
• Who is in charge of the website development? After spending $22k, no one step out and take the responsibility? What if it happen again?
• What is the plan of the 360k PTS? Using it for promoting is not an answer, just like you say spending AGS for ecosystem, but we see nothing.

I have been following the project since Oct last year and was mining from day 1 on Nov. 5th. After half and year, I saw I3 is veryvery good in collecting money and all the product is PTS and a large forum. And now you want to take the other 360k PTS? Are you short of funding to travel to St. Martin?? Can anyone tell me who is using the AGS money travel to St. Martin??? Why the current AGS funding is spending on worthless website refinement and unnecessary staff but not paying to Peter Todd or Sergio to review the code and suggestion?

PTS is really slow now because the difficulty is not adjusted every block. It is design flaw, not the fault of miner. I can only see all the miners now are very loyal and should be rewarded. Other coins are talking pre-mine from genesis block, but I3 is taking it at the end. Sounds bad, but truth, isn't it?
