General Discussion / An open challenge to Bytemaster
« on: January 09, 2015, 05:29:25 am »
The Bitshares toolkit is phenominally powerful and can streamline and improve many businesses all around the world. No one is better than Bytemaster at seeing those opportunities.

It seems the niche that will most readily understand and implement bitshares into some part of their business is the bitcoin ecosystem. I want to test him to see how useful bitshares is?

So here is my challenge.

Can BM write 6 blog posts where the last sentence of each blog post is:

"And that is just one way of many that bitshares will massively grow/secure/improve/drive adoption/expand/protect/raise the marketcap of the bitcoin ecosystem"

Just 1 rule: Changing the bitcoin protocol can not be part of the solution.
& 1 preference: Bitcoin and all bitcoin associated infrastructure and personalities are spoken of exclusively in a positive light. Along the lines of "this is great and here is how it can be even better."

And because I have a gambling problem, I bet bit$50 that these 6 articles receive more views by the end of the month than all previous posts combined up until today if the 5 articles are published by Jan 17. I will honor that bet with one person only. The first one to accept it in this thread.  (assuming it can be measured).

General Discussion / Looking for a tech to run my delegate
« on: January 07, 2015, 05:41:01 am »
HI everyone,

I will begin campaigning for a couple delegate positions in the near future.   edit: 1 payroll and 1 marketing funds

In the spirit of Bytemaster and others I am looking for someone who wants to specialize in doing that. Keep 3% 5% for themselves and pass the remaining 97% 95% on to me weekly.

Maintaining regular price feeds is very important of course.   For the sake of decentralization, I am very interested in non-US based individuals, but that is just one factor.  If you are interested and have a reputation here please post here.

edit: You must be running a delegate with regular price feeds to apply.
Cheers
Max

General Discussion / Baby Bo was born yesterday
« on: December 22, 2014, 08:33:32 pm »
Hey everyone

Nullstreet knew more about this than most of you, but I was absent for few days as my wife gave birth to our first. Apologies for my absence.

Home birth was last minute aborted due to health complications and a cascade of medical interventions followed. It was a very rough birth but we are out the other side and both mom and baby are fine. His name is Bo.

I pre-recorded an extra episode of bitshares.tv and will post it in the next day or two.  It's a great one from Bytemaster about the philosophy behind bitshares.   It would be great if you can post it all over your favorite libertarian websites.  Since we are not attacking their precious gold like bitcoin does, I think it will bring a lot of libertarians into the mix.  Keep an eye out for it.

Cheers,
Max

I am very pleased to announce 2 marketing initiatives are being released today… and you can win 200 bitUSD just by supporting them.

www.BitShares.TV
, hosted by Max Wright, is a weekly internet show dedicated to keeping you up-to-date with the world of BitShares. The first 3 episodes are online and ready for you to watch right now.

Each episode is designed to give insight to a particular aspect of the BitShares eco system. How BitShares can improve the world we contract, interact, and do business with.   

BitShares.TV gives you the inside scoop on the latest developments and allows you to meet the people behind BitShares, from core developers to marketing professionals.

Because different aspects of Bitshares appeal to different folks, Bitshares.TV is a great tool to share with your friends to help them get as excited about BitShares as we are.

And once a BitShares.TV episode sparks a light bulb in someones mind, they are more likely to share it, and get involved… and that is exactly what we want.  I hope the TV show will spark enough interest that they understand and get involved in BitShares.

And that is where BitShares 101 comes in.

BitShares 101 is the first book ever written dedicated entirely to understanding BitShares.

I authored the book and the feedback I have recieved suggests the book does an excellent job of taking the advanced concepts of BitShares and explaining them in an easy-to-understand way. Even some of the BitShares faithful who received advanced copies of the book were impressed by what they learned, commenting on how easily understandable BitShares becomes.

Today, for the first time ever, you can get your own copy of, Bitshares 101: A Guidebook on How To Profit From the Next Generation of Bitcoin, Crypto Currencies and Decentralized Businesses for just $0.99

But I really want this book to go number 1 in its category. And that means lots of sales over the next 3 days.

So I decided to motivate you all a little further by giving you the chance to win 200 bitUSD by supporting the book.

Here is how:

Once you buy the book for $0.99 cents, share it on Facebook and/or Twitter that you bought the book with the hashtag: #Bitshares101. Be sure you post a link to the book on Amazon. Feel free to use your own affiliate code if you wish.  From those posts, I will pick one at random and send them 100 bitUSD.  It's that easy.

For another chance to win $100 in BitUSD, just leave us an honest review on Amazon’s Kindle after you read the book. This will really help drive sales, especially if those comments have keywords in them like bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency.

So for your chance to win $200 in BitUSD just buy the book for $0.99, review it, and post a link to the book on Facebook/Twitter with the hashtag: #Bitshares101…

I will randomly select two winners, and notify everyone via email and this forum who won. 

You can grab your copy here.

I look forward to reading your reviews and getting your feedback.

Thanks,
Max

I also wanted to mention that both of these marketing initiatives were a team effort.

A kind thank you to proof readers Stan, Gentso1, DonkeyPong, and Matador123
HPEnvy for donating $100 for Fiverr tasks and word press plugins,
Murderistic for tech and marketing support,
And most of all a very big thank you to AbellJefrry for lots of work on building sites and graphics.  He put in a metric shitload of effort and it is very much appreciated.

I would also like to note that both Cass and Abelljefrry designed very beautiful book covers that were much too pretty.  Much to their chagrin I went with the ugly cover because ugly sells better on Kindle.  :)  So don't blame them for the ugly cover.  Blame me.

Hi Forum,

So later this week I plan on launching a couple of initiatives that have been a long time in the making. I have written a book and will launch a weekly internet show about bitshares.

The primary purpose of these projects is to give a greater suite of tools for people interested in Bitshares to learn more.  I hope you enjoy the tools and they assist everybody in explaining the complexities of BitShares.

I am pleased to say that BM and Stan (among others) have read the book and are pleased with the way it educates the reader about BitShares in an easy to understand way. Even some passionate Bitshare enthusiasts learned a lot and had some difficult concepts crystallized after reading the book.

I am really hoping to get this book to best seller status in its category on Amazon Kindle.   Hence I am giving everyone a heads up now so that you know the book will be available as of Thursday.

If you are on this forum or on the newsletter list you will receive an email also.  The book will be 0.99 cents on kindle and I intend to give away some prizes for reviews and posting on facebook that you purchased the book.  Stay tuned for details about that.

The weekly internet show will also launch at the same time. I think this will be a great avenue to get the word out about bitshares. Hopefully you find them entertaining and educational enough that you might choose to share them with your friends and contacts.

Thanks.

PS: A lot of people worked very hard and contributed to all of these projects, not just me.   On Thursday I will properly credit each of the contributors and thank them for their efforts.

General Discussion / Support a video
« on: December 08, 2014, 05:38:05 pm »
Hey guys,

Later this week (hopefully) I will be launching several videos about bitshares. They are designed to realign bitcoin and bitshares as supportive of each other and not competition. I think this is a really important step because we are alienated at the moment.

In the mean time I thought I would take the opportunity to remind the bitcoin world that I am still a big fan of bitcoin.  This will make it easier for them to hear the bitshares message later this week.

I know this video is not about bitshares at all but check it out.

General Discussion / Reddit activity... please help
« on: November 30, 2014, 01:26:51 am »
Hey gangsters,

So I have a bunch of videos coming out in the next 3 weeks. I have shown them to the marketing team only and all agree they are sweet.

So why am I telling you this?

The videos will work if they get views. They will get views if the videos are voted to the top of /r/bitcoin.

Last time you voted a video of mine to reddit front page we got that bump in signups on Sept 18.
Check it out
http://screencast.com/t/CXk5njatNf0

We will get a much better bump this time around though.

In order for your votes to count you have to have good reddit "karma".  So what I am asking is for you to interact with reddit this week. Vote on stuff. Comment on stuff.  This will give you reddit karma.  Then when I release the vids you can vote them up should you think they are worthy and your votes will count.

Thanks for your help in advance.
