General Discussion / Delegate Pay - Press Release?

« on: November 11, 2014, 01:26:45 pm »

The idea of a self sustained community is huge. With the option for 100% delegate pay, is marketing creating anything to kick out to the crypto community over the next few days to get people talking about it? Great opportunity to attract new talent.

General Discussion / Launch Party Website 1.0 Milestone - Donating 10,000 BTS

« on: November 07, 2014, 07:53:00 pm »

~~Have we considered a launch party for the new client?~~ It would be great if we could make a big deal around promoting it over 24 hours. Here's a few ideas, I'd like to here yours:

* Email sent out to all forum members to meet in a specific thread/board for the launch party
- Mumble session talking about ways to spread the word and organizing pushes
- Social media blitz - Getting all our twitter, reddit, FB ducks in a row
- Press release ready to launch
- Giveaways established (I'm willing to help toward the donations)
- Membership drive
- Bitcointalk and other crypto forum posts

Edit:

"Save the launch party for the unveiling of the new bitshares.org website because that will be the final launch.

Party if you like, but this next release will be an incremental update on our way to version 1.0 which is when the real party should begin." - bytemaster

Agreed

General Discussion / BTCChina and OKCoin, BitUSD

« on: October 29, 2014, 07:20:43 pm »

Have we made face to face contact with either BTCChina or OKCoin at any of the Bitcoin Conferences? I know members of the community have sent emails, I was curious if we actually had any type of in person conversations. From what I read, it looks like BTCChina is also entering the payment processor market.

General Discussion / Shopify now available for Doge and Litecoin, How about BitUSD?

« on: October 29, 2014, 07:14:25 pm »

http://www.coindesk.com/gocoin-brings-altcoin-payments-shopify-merchants/

"With the integration, GoCoin will be made available as a payment option to more than 120,000 merchants who conduct their online sales through the Shopify platform. The list of merchants using the platform now includes companies like General Electric and Tesla Motors."

1. Has anyone from the marketing team made contact with GoCoin? I believe they were at the Inside Bitcoins event?
2. If so, have they communicated any challenges or requirements before considering to add?

If you're not a fan of a payment processor and rather merchants just accept BitUSD directly, I want to argue a few points.

- A payment processor would allow the merchant to decide on the percentages. For the crypto enthusiasts, they can request a higher percentage of BitUSD and lower amount of fiat for any purchase. For those that aren't interested in crypto at all, that merchant could be paid in all or mostly fiat. Either way, BitUSD is becoming more a name.

- The price stability is a safer choice for a payment processor than Litecoin or Doge.

- The liquidity would drastically increase as BitUSD is now being used as a medium of exchange.

General Discussion / Mars.Walker got me thinking about investors and how to handle upcoming attacks

« on: October 23, 2014, 03:50:09 am »

Mars.Walker got me thinking about quite a few things with his posts about professional investors and our communication challenges as we start appealing to more mainstream. Once the final proposal is approved, we know all these different opinions within the forum will be used to attack us. I would recommend hosting a mumble session or 2, beating the crap out of it and developing strong responses in a central location. Let's put ourselves in their shoes and be ready to have concrete responses to maximize time.

Let me draw your attention to the posts that members such as Xeroc made on LetstalkBitcon

http://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/lets-talk-bitcoin-155-beyond-bitcoin

I'm impressed, the answers from all our community members were professional and not the least bit defensive. In one of the posts, the BitUSD was mentioned. We know BitUSD will be compared to the Fed Reserve System. The responses helped me see a better way to explain it the next time I see it come up on a thread out in the wild. I understand we have an FAQ, I'm thinking something even beyond that to head off the attacks that will come in the following weeks. It's great we have some experts that can make these types of responses, it would be useful if the lowest common denominator, like myself that's still fairly new, can also assist.

General Discussion / Thread Cleanup

« on: October 23, 2014, 03:26:43 am »

Once the proposal is finalized, is there any plan to move all the different proposals and ideas to an archive thread or a just a separate board? Right now, it's really useful to have in the main discussion. That usefulness will be clutter once things get moving in whatever direction is decided.

General Discussion / Beyond Bitcoin Reddit Questions for Dan and Brian

« on: October 11, 2014, 12:24:44 pm »

I know the team is extremely busy, I was hoping these questions could be answered:

[–]sacktap 3 points 13 hours ago

Where is cross-chain trading on the roadmap? Also curious about its implementation.

[–]Bitcoin_Boost 2 points 21 hours ago

At the InsideBitcoins event, did you or anyone on the team have a chance to talk with any of the larger exchanges such as BTCChina or processors such as Coinbase or GoCoin? Were they already familiar with what you are doing with Bitshares?

[–]Bitcoin_Boost 2 points 21 hours ago

There was mention in the forum concerning Money 20/20. Do you plan to speak at the event? Is there a plan for marketing representation at the event regardless if you are speaking? Thank you.

[–]Bitcoin_Boost 2 points 20 hours ago*

As the Bitcoin Conferences start spreading to locations such as Tel Aviv, Paris, Seoul and Singapore, it's not realistic to think you and the entire marketing team will be at each. Do you have backup speakers who can carry the torch in other locations?

[–]MeTHoDx 2 points 19 hours ago

For Brian: How would you describe the typical BitUSD user 1 year from now? Why is he using BitUSD?

[–]Brent_Allsop 1 point 18 hours ago

Does anyone know if any good arbitrage robots have been set up to help put liquidity into BitUSD. If so, who, are they organizing/co-opreating, how much money are they making...? How much money could they make?

[–]Shuai 1 point 18 hours ago

I would to know how important the team thinks being first mover is (vs nubits) in regards to capturing the coming open bazaar market, and other trading platforms using escrow.

How long until bitUSD is liquid/stable enough that we could start moving our savings over?
