There are two types of options for inclusion in Cointelegraph’s “Altcoin Catalog” section:
1. Free placement. It includes:
a. 100 word press-release
b. Official Altcoin logo
c. A link to your website

so for the 100 word press release  - do we have some teaser 100 words for this section?




so the premium section is also a possibility. Would cost 2.5 BTC. I ask already for traffic data, to be sure what we could expect.

2. Premium placement. It includes:
a. High-quality independent research and review by one of our journalists
b. Interview with representatives of developers team
c. Unique picture in CT style
d. Links to your website
e. Links to social media and community websites
f. A weekly review of recently added Altcoins
g. Top placement above other “Free” placements

Charles, Dan, and Stan should work together along with Brian to devise a effective marketing plan.  When I look at Stellar's launch a week ago, I believe Bitshares could learn from its launch.  Do you guys agree?  Let me know your thoughts.

Hadn't heard of Stellar. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole myself. Huge Sharedrops, which so far have only crashed coins, and often seem to be a mechanism to reward devs while trying to appear fair, such as NEM, even sceptical of some others...

This is probably the funniest thing I've read in a while -

Quote

The Foundation received a loan of $3,000,000 from Stripe which was subsequently repaid with 2% of the stellars. The Foundation is allowed to use up to 5% of the initial stellars to fund operations (including the loan repayment). 

That would mean Stripe needs Stellar to be worth $150 000 000 just to break even? Like hell they made that initial investment on those terms imo.

The Stellar share drop via Facebook was a great way to market.  The clean interface and straight forward signup process gave ordinary people the opportunity to obtain the new currency.  As a result, many people outside of the crypto community now has Stellar.  I don't think we can say the same for Bitshares.  See the Stellar statshttps://www.stellar.org/stats/.  I just hope we can borrow some aspects from this project and leverage them to our benefit.

I just want BitShares to succeed and adoption is critical to accomplish this end.

I think share drops via facebook are great and so are faucets but we need to find cost effective ways to get people excited about WE are doing. Does anyone feel like there is a buzz around Nxt,XMR,Ether, heck even the Stellar thread on bitcointalk is 45 pages. While we post (hit about 5 pages )about exciting things and no one seems to care but us........

I don't think the issue is with our technology it's with the fact that
a.pts/ags make it simple
b.forum is a mess (we all know it), even if we get them to come they can't find any information quickly
c.Marketing???

i don't see people here only complaining. here are a lot who are willing to help.

my points:
1. someone has to get control to the forum who has time and is willing to put some links and threads together - costs nothing. But it seems no one at I3 is willing to set someone in charge.
2. Marketing - i hope everything is fine in the future, but what i can't see and touch i don't trust. i am not against this way, but i don't understand why ignore the brick and mortar way of building something.

@cass
i don't complain i ask, but no one is willing to give a fact answer. only say everything is good and something big is coming is not my style. i started @bitshareshub at twitter by the way, because i think it is a easy way for me to contribute in the future to change the focus of maybe 1,2,3 people and they will talk about bitshares as well and so on.

he is NOT stepping down.. just not taking sallery from i3

Ok. Great. Maybe now that he isn't getting paid, marketing productivity will increase. /s

it is not correct . do you really believe he will not be get paid on a contract base from I3?

Quote from: cass on August 11, 2014, 09:31:23 am

Come on dudes -- what's up here? .. Brian isn't out of BitShares! He's optimizing workflow to help on more stages IMO!

I've noticed same a few weeks before... When working for III as an employee then it isn't possible to help other DACs devs on startup their companies.
So i've decided to work as a Contractor.  (max flexibility). Guessing Brian noticed same issues and also wants to help on more hot spots!

Quote from: Stan on August 11, 2014, 04:06:29 am

He is moving from employee to independent entrepreneur with the same task but powerful new incentives and capabilities.

please correct me if Im wrong, wasn't the whole point of I3's existence and the AGS fund to "bootstrap" the DAC sector?

No offense, but the Marketing Director hasn't done much in terms of marketing and now that he is stepping down at a critical time like this, just seems odd and suspect. I am pretty sure people called for his resignation and he refused only to leave during critical times?

you nailed it! sry to say it again. the problem here is not Brian stepping down, but how the whole job is done. this is a community driven project.

i want to see the contact lists he made for us with "our" money? as his employer (ok, it is really over the top  ) i want to have his contact datas, what was he working etc. it is not only Brians "problem" . I3 is in this point not open enough. Only to tell "something big is comming" is not enough. success comes with hard work and i see hard work on the coding side of bitshares, but without some data from parts like marketing it is only just hot air! maybe i am not big enough to get heard, or my english is as bad as i assume .

You guys should seriously consider moving in a different direction with your marketing. This is a golden opportunity to have that conversation. Why don't you involve the community you currently have and come up with a stronger marketing plan.

 

if i would leave my company everything i done i has to give to my replacement. i hope we will see something. i was not a big fan of brian, because everything was done in secret no updates at all to the community. this working behavior is not the best for a community driven product. i hope I3 will choose better and in all parts I3 will open up more.

This is pretty cool. Maybe email Brian directly as he may not be checking the forum.

i don't know brians email. on the official bithsares.org page only press@bitshares.org is posted. and if he really is not checking the marketing thread it is terrible or we need one more person.
