Sine there are still serious bugs in the Windows implementation (and probably elsewhere), starting a stepped up marketing campaign too soon might cause as much harm as good. Keeping it all word of mouth for a while gives breathing room to fine tune before going mainstream.

submitting an article as a guest author would make the most sense in our case.... I am pretty sure the marketing team has something in stock when BitUSd is ready...

Has anyone a direct contact to coindesk?

or "everyone" asks nicely if they would like to write about bitsharesx
