General Discussion / Re: Is the Official Marketing Team Sleeping?

I feel that if bitshares had the ethereum marketing team instead, we wouldve surpassed bitcoin already.

Ethereum is the perfect case against the philosophy that we need to have a stable product before we can market....not true!

It is critical that we have enough early adopters to help out when mass adoption begins.

 +5% This right here. It's essential we have more early adopters if we ever hope to cross the chasm.

Agreed, we could have been having marketing focused at getting more core early adopters, during this time before 1.0 released.

I frequently see things like press releases from CoinTelegraph (on CMC), which discuss some positive development in another coin.  Or even fricking bitReserve!  And I think:  We already have something better than that!  Why does not one report on anything about bitshares?  Why does no one seem to care?



I'd rather focus on positive things now, such as:  Everyone who has not yet done so, NEEDS to go vote for matt608's argentina marketing delegate.  I am certain that the value per dollar spent on his campaign will be much greater than the official marketing.

I'm still waiting for a stable update wallet though Dacunlimited so I can vote for matt608 (and Methodx).   4.25 was a mess.

General Discussion / Re: Weekly or Biweekly Updates. Is it too much to ask?

You should expect an update from Adam on monday.

And from Brian P? Like never?

 +5%

Probably never! But bitmarket and murderistic from his marketeer crew hang out here occasionally

The arrogance is costing me money (for Pepto Bismol)

Updates would be great, project plan would be even better. I just want to see a project plan outlining 1 month, 3 months, 6 months with milestones, projected costs and resource allocation. I understand the need for privacy with business development, the same shouldn't hold true for marketing efforts. At a 40 million dollar valuation, we should have a monster plan outlined and coordinated between different resources.

I might be in the minority but that's how I feel about it.  If you want to know everything happening from the community marketing team, it's as simple as following a weekly link.

Transparency should be king within BitShares.

hpenvy - I don't think you're in the minority. 

I too - would really like to at the very least see some projections and a solid executable plan.  Not even a 1+ month plan, but a RIGHT NOW plan.  I may be speaking for myself, but I'd sure appreciate at least a weekly update that outlines specifically what the incumbent marketing team has done, along with what they will be doing, and what they plan to accomplish for the next week.

If these current efforts need to stay behind closed doors, then perhaps we call it what it is: Business Development (because there IS a difference from marketing).  We're simply scaling to the point where Brian's team cannot do both, it's a great problem to have - now let's address it.  I'd be in favor of voting in an "additional" marketing team to take the helm, with specific focus on marketing alone, with an allocated budget and more transparency.

I like the 2 Ben mentioned:

What about #bankingrevolution ?

Some others
#beyourownbank
#bankingfreedom

I think it's important to note that this isn't just a solution for banking.  BitShares is a toolkit to provide solutions for finance, music, insurance, voting, and more

Bitshares. "The new commerce".      I saw this on a post over at Nullstreet. Thought it an excellent tag line.

Another country where bitUSD could explode :  http://panampost.com/peter-sacco/2014/12/02/venezuelas-plummeting-bolivar-dips-into-hyperinflation/

We definitely need to translate everything in  Spanish. Clearly there is tremendous potential in Latin America for bitUSD.

I'm voting for matt608 for sure.

Thanks.  Turns out that my 4.24 version was not syncing. 

Is Matt608 on the delegate list yet?  I can not find them in the list of delegates...

Yup:
http://www.bitsharesblocks.com/delegates/delegate?name=argentina-marketing.matt608

Thanks.  Trying to vote for you, but can't get your delegate to come up in the wallet delegate list.  I'm filtering by your full delegate name... argentina-marketing.matt608..  Suggestions??

Not sure, it's around position 125 at the moment, if you can't see it you could try locking + unlock wallet or if that fails re-installing/update client?  There's been a bug on the loose today, an new version with it fixed has been released: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases

Thanks for you support.

Thanks matt, it seems like my previous version of the wallet had trouble syncing.  I've added you to my vote roll. 

On a separate note, I see that our current wallet does not provide for Spanish translation.  Will you be working of resolving this issue?  I'm a fairly fluent Spanish/Portuguese speaker, so I can assist you with this of needed.

I like your ad and your music. My only suggestion is that the music is too loud and you can't hear the voice well enough. Perhaps after the louder music intro you could mix it down during the voiceover.

...the name shouldn't be BitShares PTS. That just brings about the same confusion the merger was set up to eliminate.

Sparkle is fully honoring AGS/PTS in recognition of their support and belief in many 3rd party DACs.   BitShares will not be honored because of their view of everything else as competition.   


Regards the name, Sparkle sounds quite feminine. Have you considered just 'Spark'. That sounds more masculine and impactful. Spark a fire/revolution/idea etc.

I was listening to this podcast and it touched me and moved me to post a link to it for your consideration.

The thrust of the message I want to convey can be found at time index 38:21 which you can position to by clicking on the progress bar once enough of the podcast is read & cached.

I know BM is on the same page (tho maybe a different paragraph) given what he has posted elsewhere about his desire to end violence.
