[Worker Proposal] Chronos Crypto Videos #2

[Chronos]

Of course! You may certainly post the videos in the Bitshares Playlist on the official Bitshares channel. These videos are owned by the Bitshares community, through this worker proposal. Just let me know if you need me to provide the original .mp4 file format.

If we get the voting support of @bitcrab, we can start production again. My top priority is shorts and margin calls for smartcoins like BitCNY.

I feel these videos should be posted with a creative commons licence on a bitshares channel as well as your own personal channel.
With a CC licence I would be happy to vote for this worker proposal again.

Do I have permission to upload these videos to the bitshares youtube channel?

[Chronos]

This worker is not currently funded. We need the voting support of about 65M more BTS in order to continue video production. I've posted an update on the videos produced so far: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23612.0.html

I would be open to it, but I'm not sure that it would be better for shareholders. It may not even benefit the BitUSD market. Imagine the hypothetical: if the worker wants to sell the BitUSD, they may use force settlement to get the more liquid BTS, and then the entire effect is canceled.

Perhaps I'm missing something, though. The idea of paying workers with BitUSD should be discussed further.

@Chronos
Would you agree to get paid in bitUSD following the process proposed by Xeroc here ?

This would mitigate the sell pressure on BTS while allowing us to fund your work & increase bitUSD liquidity at the same time.

@bitcrab
Would this fit the Chinese community better ?

Worker
Given that a worker will be voted in for quite some time, I would like to propose a new model of running a worker:

• I will create a new account, upgrade it to LTM and make it multisig with the committee account and trusted members of the comunity
• The worker will redeem it's funds on a regular basis and buy up bitUSD from the market (only up to above market)
• If the market doesn't offer sufficient bitUSD, the worker account will borrow bitUSD at 2.5x collateral
• For this reasons, the actual pay of the worker is 2.5x the USD value
• The worker will only pay the agreed amount of money and only in bitUSD to me
• Every thing that is not paid out after the end of the worker will be settled and returned to the reserve fund

Not spent  ,you are the coolest.
You are a big supporter of Bitshares

Thank you!  I would be honored to have your delegate vote for this worker. I hope you will consider supporting it.

My goal is that we may be able to find a solution to bring this worker alive again. I believe that the videos can be a great resource for the Bitshares community.

@Chronos ,you can make Videos and get money in Steemit．Or create a UIA like VIBERZ   .
The investors lose too much blood,we need BTS deflation at this difficult time.

Hi @ebit, those are good ideas. So far, I've felt that those routes wouldn't be effective at raising funds, which is why I haven't pursued them as an alternative at this time.

I have good news, though: the investors have not "lost blood" to this worker since its creation. In fact, as you can see from my YouTube worker account, I have not spent or sold a single BTS at the time of this writing. The BTS earned by this worker have been kept entirely off the market, which has been a boon to the market price. From one perspective, you might say that this worker has cost investors nothing. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never sell any BTS, but you can rest assured, I'm a big supporter of Bitshares, just as you are.

today after some discussion in China community, bitcrab proxy decided to vote down this worker proposal.
now BTS is in very low price, we need to try everything we can to restore the confidence of the market, including stopping unimportant payment.

@bitcrab I respect your decision. I'm working on another video that I will complete and publish later this week despite the lack of funding. From there, we will need to get this worker voted in before further work will be done. Thank you!

Deflation is at an all-time low.. we have less bts now coming into the market now than ever. At what point is it no longer a difficult time?

I am sorry but I believe I am doing the right thing.

Keep up the good work man !

Can you do a video on governance?

Do you mean a video on how the Bitshares committee works? That's actually one of the topics I'm working on right now. 

Getting paid >$50 a day and having no new videos for >40 days makes me feel like I can no longer vote for this worker.

The last video came out on Nov 24, and today is Dec 14, so that makes 19 days without a video -- not anything like 40 days! You're right, though; I'm running a bit behind schedule. I purchased a ceiling-mount green-screen to improve the videos, but it arrived damaged, and a new one is being sent. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results. My goal is to produce three more videos by the end of the year.

Putting more emphasis on distribution would be cool, it doesn't seem like the videos are really getting very many eyeballs, but they will be a good educational tool for the future.

I agree, the videos are really useful for bringing newcomers up to speed. I pointed someone to the Bitshares Playlist earlier today when they messaged me on an altcoin forum asking which coins were "hot" these days. Do you have any other suggestions on how to get the word out?

Great stuff so far though!

Thank you! Feel free to post more video suggestions in this thread. I value your opinions.
