Will Artist be able to have more that one coin? Would they be able to issue say Silver, Gold, or Platinum editions of their coins?

Who would prevent them from doing so?
I'd bet they can ..

AFAIK only one artistcoin per artist, but take it with a grain of salt as I can't recall where I read it.

The only thing I remember reading was that they will not be able to tamper with the total amount of artistcoin once created.

If this is the case, it seems natural that they would offer several versions or tiers of coins, IMO.

I'm going to go ahead and throw out the following suggestion from the standpoint that it:

1. Casts the widest net

2. Offers the possibility of bringing back the attention of some early supporters that recognized the need and importance of something like bitUSD (but have drifted away due to numerous reasons) to Bitshares, while introducing them to Maker.

5% - PTS
5% - AGS
5% - BTS
5% - Brownie.PTS

The demographics of each group listed above offers a unique set of potential benefits/qualities and that it would be wise to consider what may be gained from including all of them.

Obviously, the recommendations from those CURRENTLY in the forum for this single snapshot of time will side heavily on BTS/Brownie.PTS (and which I would personally gain most from) - but this community has seen plenty of interest and early support from individuals who could probably be found more heavily in PTS/AGS as well.

My .02 BTS

It will be interesting to see how this plays out?

What if fans are more interested in purchasing artist coins of an individual rather than a group?

I mean, I'll buy some of that Kurt Cobain coin, but those other guys...they'll never amount to anything, right? 

What if people want to bet on how many drummers a band will have?...you never know when there might be some kind of bizarre gardening accident or spontaneous combustion!

If I get stuck with a Paul McCartney coin - do I get free tickets to a Wings reunion?

If I buy a Dr. Dre coin will I get free tickets to Straight Outta Compton?

If I buy a Muse coin, can I give it to my muse via MUSE?

This is gonna be fun.

Wow guys.

Wow.

This wallet is absolutely beautiful.

Installed and functions nicely on Verizon Samsung S4 (Android 5.0.1)

IMO, this is a Home Run.

Bravo

Question: Are you guys going to include BTS eventually, or just sticking to Assets?


*Krills/lzr9000 will be impressed.

What links would we want to appear on page 1?

It probably wouldn't take more than a few days to get the front page corrected with more accurate and relevant links if just a few of us linked some of these from various sites and comment sections..

Here are some that are listed on page 2, 3 and beyond (in global results) that could probably use a little nudge:

I thought your original (but redacted) post outlining some of your monetization plans were brilliant.

That being said, I think one bitshares 2.0-esque referral type system that may work somewhat would be charging for a "Premium" account which allows the user to submit playlists and/or entire custom channels (let them be their own DJ with access to the peertracks catalogue).

Allow the user to make $$$ (or at least -$$$ off their monthly "Premium") based off how many people and how popular their playlists are.

Just to add some additional support to my earlier suggestion:

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jun/09/apple-music-interview-jimmy-iovine-eddy-cue
http://www.thedrum.com/opinion/2015/07/06/humans-not-algorithms-apple-music-revolution-and-growing-influence-curator
http://www.mondaynote.com/2015/07/05/human-curation-is-back/

Apple is going big on human curation for good reason. I think it would benefit Peertracks to make it a highlighted feature with the possibility to earn income from it.
This can not only allow for competition to create better playlists and channels, but could also be a way to bring about new era of popular DJ's or even new talk radio type personalities like Howard Stern.

So you are suggesting public playlist creation would be a paid feature.
They would be ranked how exactly? upvotes?
And how are the playlist creators compensated exactly? The upvotes being payments?

If so, why would a user upvote/pay to have a playlist rise in the ranking? What does that person get out of it (unless he's an artist featured on that playlist of course)?

Not a paid feature - Rather a built-in, standard feature quite similar to the function of Google Music, where a search brings up not only tracks, albums and artists - but also playlists that might include or be related to the search.

I would suspect that the most accurate and useful way to rank individual playlists would be how often they are chosen by listeners/users of Peertracks and whether they like/save/share the playlist as well as how often they go back to listen to it.

I imagine that it would be best for Peertracks to incorporate and handle payments from their end - using a small fraction of the funds that will currently be used to pay the artists/labels, etc.
I would suspect this feature should sell itself to artists/labels, etc. as one of the primary goals is getting users to listen and use Peertracks as their source of music/entertainment.
The way other systems currently use playlist curators is pretty much equal to unpaid marketers.

Payments to playlist curators may get tricky due to regulation/tax/whateverelse overhead - I suspect the CNX guys may know this area much better than I.
If Peertracks is successful, popular playlist curators would be able to compensate themselves by investing in smaller, lesser-known artists before finding their way to their well-shared and populated playlists.
I'm sure the most successful ones will have to navigate a new era of payola, as I suspect that with the Peertracks system - any abuse will find them losing subscribers quickly.
At the very least, I would imagine you can give them credit toward, or completely cover premium accounts for useful curators - maybe tokens akin to Brownie.PTS as well?


Additionally, I see every one of these features ALSO working well carried into an author/ebooks platform.
I try to view everything on this blockchain through both filters lately and they seem to match perfectly as far as I can see.
Maybe more importantly, I believe that independent authors, may offer a very important adoption advantage simply due to the fact that they write - and write well - often news, blogs and opinion articles besides just books.
What a terrific and effective way to propagate the formula ;-)

They understand that current financial markets work by force & fraud because this is obvious to anyone with a working mind. Instead of attempting to use blockchain technology as it was intended, to free human transactions from corrupt centralisation, they have opted to build a system with enhanced potential for corruption.  This is the opposite of 'genuine' technical innovation. This project could only be seen as a competitor to Bitshares if network participants do not care about the difference.

I really hope this is not the standard CNX chooses to adopt to define "competition".

I'd be really upset to see that they would concede 99% of the population and potential user base that do not care about the difference - to the centralized, good ol' boy competition in favor of the <1% of us that do care about the difference.

SETL will initially target the payments business to subsequently move into financial markets including foreign exchange, bonds and possibly stocks. Much like the Bitcoin blockchain, the SETL blockchain will allow users to transfer both money as well as assets directly among each other.

^^^ This is the very definition of "competition" and as far as I understand, aiming for these markets are the entire reason it was decided to delay Bitshares in order to incorporate white/black-listing and other tools to comply with KYC/AML and other regulator requests.
