Update: as you've probably already seen, the next video has been launched, Buying Bitshares the Easy Way. Video production is again temporarily on hold, as the worker is just under the threshold from being funded, at the time of this writing.
Open to any feedback. Thanks for your support!

General Discussion / [Video] Buying Bitshares the Easy Way
« on: July 25, 2016, 05:39:38 am »
The Chronos Worker Proposal has gathered enough activity to bring forward the next Chronos Crypto video. This quick walkthrough covers how to buy BTS using a bridge such as BlockTrades inside the light wallet. I expect it to help bring new investors onto the platform.
Watch it now! Buying Bitshares the Easy Way
By the way, we recently received a YouTube comment on the Intro to Bitshares video, "All those inflationary coins are doomed." I believe we would really benefit from a video on the Bitshares inflation rate, and why BTS fee burning with witness and worker pay with is more sustainable than the systems that many competing coins use. Cast your vote for the Chronos worker proposal to keep the videos coming! (At the time of this writing, we're only 100k BTS short of receiving worker pay. Every vote counts!)
Thank you!
EDIT: Thanks to your support, the inflation rate video is now available! https://youtu.be/ohx46JlRzjc

« on: July 19, 2016, 04:07:04 pm »We're getting a lot of emails about how to use the new deposit/withdrawal pages, especially from new Steem users. All the current videos for this process are out of date I think, because of changes to the UI. Any chance you could get out a quick video on this subject?That's exactly what's planned for this week! However, the worker just fell off the payroll again. Bitcoin volatility has nothing on BTS worker volatility!
Fortunately, the proxy account that @bytemaster controls is enough to bring it solidly back into the green. Would you like to contact him and see if he'd like to support this work?
Thanks!

Update: the worker has been voted back in. You can expect the next video, Buying Bitshares the Easy Way, to be published this week.

Good news: with recent market movements, this worker proposal is within striking distance of being voted back in! Based on current data at http://cryptofresh.com/workers, it's less than 7.5 million BTS away from action. There are a few new accounts bubbling to the top of the Voting Report, so if you know of anyone who might be interested in new Chronos Bitshares videos, be sure to spread the word.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Random Discussion / Chronos speaking at OnChain Scaling this weekend
« on: June 24, 2016, 12:45:30 am »
Hi everyone,
Thought you might be interested in an online conference this weekend on the topic of blockchain scaling. I'm slated as one of the 12 presenters, speaking on Xtreme Thinblocks, a scaling tech that allows blocks to be transmitted to nodes more quickly and efficiently.
Main site: http://onchainscaling.com
Speakers: http://onchainscaling.com/speakers.html
Schedule: http://onchainscaling.com/presentations.html
Hope to see you there!

This idea could bring new eyeballs to Bitshares, but some of the "benevolent whale" reasoning in this thread seems illogical to me.

Note that if @bytemaster supported the worker with his 33 proxy followers, the worker would again be funded. Perhaps if you're able connect with him, he might wish to cast his vote and get this ball rolling again. I haven't been able to reach him recently on these forums.
Thanks!

So far, the intro video has been produced, and I was working on a second one (how to buy BTS, bridges vs gateways) when the worker went unfunded. I'm certainly not packing up and leaving, but with the worker unfunded, the plan for future videos is in jeopardy.
I don't want to annoy people with more "Vote for Chronos!" posts and messages, because most stakeholders have already made up their minds about whether or not they'd like to vote for the worker. In a way, the ball is now in the community's court. If you, as a community, want to see these videos happen, you'll need to find a way to fund the worker.
Here's a breakdown of which key members and proxies could sway the vote. Feel free to start conversations with some of these members, encouraging them to cast their vote. (I already have.

A few thoughts:
First, if you don't want to fund the worker for now, that's fine, and I'm not offended. I think it's clear what kind of product I'm offering, so it's up to the community to decide if they want to purchase it or not.
I personally believe the worker provides great value for Bitshares, because the videos will last a long time, and the overall dilution effect is very low. Just think: any time in the future, we would have a professional video for when someone shows up and asks questions like, "How do I buy BTS?" or "How do I secure my wallet?"
Lastly, no offense, but I wouldn't do this work for Steem dollars. I don't trust their value, which is probably the same reason you'd rather use them for payment.
Thanks for the good conversation.
