This meeting was not about bringing in whales, it was about bringing in partners to help reach our target audience.   Sure these guys have money, but what we value more than their money is their ability to drive SEO and sales over the internet in a manner that was able to earn them more than the market cap of BTSX.   These guys are now in our camp, own BTS X and PTS, and are actively developing a plan to apply their internet marketing skills toward driving the price through greater awareness.

So what has Brian done?  He has helps us build friendships with the people that have skills we need.  This is far better than having him attempt to do these things himself.

Why does it take so long?  Because it is like finding developers and finding other talent, it just takes months to do.  Now that BTS X is out the marketers have a much easier job and something tangible to sell.  Watch out.

I have a suggestion.
Dan, perhaps you should think of restructuring the hierarchy of roles and responsibilities then. It sounds like Brian is providing more of a business development or human resources role and not a Director of Marketing role. It seems obvious at this point that the person in charge of directing the marketing of something as complex bitshares needs to have a strong authority and strategy over all communication channels and community building, and intimate understanding and devotion to digital marketing (ie: a Bytemaster or Toast dedicated to marketing).

 Perhaps it is simply a matter of a wrong title and the unfair expectations that are attached to it.

What was Andreas thinking during BM's dialogue?

I was really hoping for more from Andreas. More intriguing questions for Dan.

I will support this idea on one condition

MAKE IT EASY TO VOTE

the urls aren't really good enough, you need to have the ability to designate in the GUI who you want to vote for, and right now I don't think you can do that.

The tech seems pretty great but the UI is important, people need to understand the tools in order to use them.


I agree. If voting is so important why is  actually called "approving" in the UI, and why is that actual page two levels down behind: Directory/Delegates? There should be a dedicated section on the main left hand navigation that follows the natural language that describes a voting process; ie: Elections, Voting, Politics. It needs it's own page with clear instructions that are not technical and common sense.

I am sorry for bring ups an old subjest but I just got around to read this. In order to short there must be inventory to borrow. Typically this inventory is held by institutions in the traditional market sense and lend this inventory to short sellers on margin. How are you accounting for inventory since there are no "institutions" holding  inventory/float?  Are you going to allow users the ability to lend out there own shares in a public pool? Are you going to show the amount of short inventory or rather the amount allowed to be borrowed to short? 

maybe you have this in a paper?

I think part of the answer is here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=4573.15

On OSX 10.9.4, it seems to open and function fine (although the only thing I have done was approved delegates), however it closes by itself after about 5 minutes. I don't that I get logged out, but I have to lauch the app again.

It does look good though!

This is good news, and as most community driven marketing efforts worthwhile.

Toast, I had started the Asana group for Team Viral with similar aspirations in mind, which unfortunately has not really taken off (partly due to my own fault of not having the time to spend on it), however I think that Asana does offer a more organized way to implement such a strategy as it acts as ledger of accountability. It may be worth another look.

I would help on this.

Unfortunately, I just don't think the current site is up to par either. The idea that it is  geared to "non-technical" people I believe is misguided. Trying to dumb this down at this point with lowest common denominator marketing is futile in my opinion. Especially considering there is no "product" yet, and the fact that there isn't should prove that the strategy now should be focused on technical people and the bitcoin community, all which look at stock photos and click off the page.
