I had a chat to Invictus, a couple of days ago, re drawing up a one page sheet/flyer/pdf that could explain to non technical people and newcomers to the cryptocoin world what Invictus offer.

A couple of sentences on each 'product' DACs, Bitshares,Protoshares etc

In my opinion it also needs to be fairly simply written so that it can be easily translated in other languages.

Invictus already have a flyer for Keyhotee Free Space, see http://static.squarespace.com/static/51fb043ee4b0608e46483caf/t/5270bd60e4b04f272062ebdd/1383120224597/Keyhotee%20Free%20Space%20Flyer%202.pdf

The problem is that a lot of non technical people just don't seem to grasp crypto currencies and how they can revolutionise the world because most have bought into the fiat model and can't see beyond it.

A lot of people can't even understand the concept let alone products available and companies that enhance the cryptocoin system.

Also as it can be quite difficult to get started - just buying bitcoins can be an issue - non-techs just switch off.

So essentially it is finding away to express in very simple terms what is on offer.

The technical people need to capture the imagination of the non technical.

I aim to have some suitable text ready by the weekend - wind turbine and computer issues willing...long story.

I would appreciate comment and critic from all.  Not too brutal please.

Hopefully if it is any good Invictus could take the flyers to conferences etc

One thing I would like to add at the end is some comments by the forum members on what the Invictus products mean to them.

Just post them on this thread.

(as an aside I listened to a really good podcast by Cliff High on Red Ice Creations about Bitcoin/ bitcoin concept - including a very good non technical summation of what Bitcoin is - see www.redicecreations.com - if you are interested).

One technical idea which can help is to come up with a meme DAC which rewards for creation of the best memes. If a meme goes viral then everyone should make a lot of money.

But I don't know how it could be pulled off, perhaps a prediction market where people bet on which meme will go viral and if they guess right they make a lot of BTS?

You have to find ways to align the incentives to produce what you want in the market.

Wow, some great themes..  Master, your gona have a hard time picking..

There is no 'conversion' between ProtoShares and BitShares... everyone will immediately have BOTH ProtoShares and BitShares.  Your BitShares are kind of a 'dividend payment' on your ProtoShares .    Therefore, there is no cost or conversion to create BitShares from ProtoShares and in fact your ProtoShares will remain valuable for future DACs.

Hi, Daniel! Quick question: will Bitshares value be awarded to the same Protoshares address or through a Bitshares address? If the latter, how could one (assuming one has PTS accumulated) claim the 1:1 value? Thanks!

PTS is totally different from other cryptocurrency, its not suprising to me to see it running away.  Bitcoin is really "expensive" by the estimation of most observers, so these other "cryptos" are just as good since they're so undervalued compared to Bitcoin.  Litecoin has long been called the silver to Bitcoins gold so the analogy makes sense and the upward price pushes them all up as a rising tide lifts all boats.


The market is as frothy as i've ever seen it, this is money spilling from bitcoin into everything around it.  PTS is not around Bitcoin, PTS is new and unique and frankly hasn't had the best public entrance so it doesnt have good hype  surrounding it except to the core believers.  Once Invictus delivers something expect a whole new ballgame, until then it's just another altcoin nobody owns.
