My wife will be having her baby today (or tonight) so I might be "afk" for a couple days.  See you guys in a bit!

Major congrats, all around...

I am planning on developing DACIndex.com and DACExchange.com so I'd be happy if you want to continue the DAC focus.

DAC stands for Distributed, Autonomous Company

I will definitely see what I can do and will in"corporate" (haha play on words?) any content you wish to provide.  I would also hope you can provide a funding address for your concept so I can add it onto your content for the community to "vote on" with their funds.  THIS is my plan.  Make it so every person who contributes content will have their own tip address and contact information added in with that content.  Then content can kind of be "mixed" to create new content.

If we can bring on more content providers in digital media, we can as a community, utilize it to create a positive feedback loop between advertising for CryptoEquity Devs and Content Providers/Aggregators ...then watch it grow as many of altcoins' content providers drifting in Free Space see a place to 'Dock" and begin complimenting each others' cryptocurrencies with their own unique skillsets.  Ultimately, if we all hold a stake in eachother's cryptos and port our work to multiple "coins" and "shares" it not only diversifies our individual "portfolios" and spreads the risk, but helps to reinforce an interconnected kind of "social consensus" as many practices will become standardized as a function of the framework being constructed. 

One of the current issues I see with the social consensus is that few BUILDING BLOCKS are in place for the general population to take part--yet.  Social Consensus needs more than simply Developers recommending what they feel is fair, but will evolve naturally from an interconnected effort to construct the framework (that is not to say Devs should refrain from recommending).  Allow Content Providers to compete by providing their content, allow Developers to compete by providing their framework(s) and mods, and allow builders to take those building blocks and build something with it.   

I'm going to post the names to a new forum to be voted on.

Attention to all.  I have just posted a preliminary DAC Interview Form in the Alternative DAC section of the forums as an outreach method to the creative souls in our community.  Please feel free to direct appropriate inquiries there.  Link:  https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=3033.0 

After the name is voted on by the community, I will begin creating the Google Hangout Accounts, Webpage(with webforms), Reddit and Twitter Accounts necessary for the growth of this endeavor. 

Also, I am looking for musicians and other artists to provide content.  I will place the wallet QR and Address of their choosing so they can receive tips (this will be the same for every personality/content provider) every time their content is used.

DACExchange is a Bitcoin -> DACcoin centralized exchange. 
DACIndex is coinmarketcap.com for the DACcoins traded on DACExchange.

sounds good

I would encourage something without the word "bitcoin" in it as we dont need bitcoin anymore as a point of attention to ride on.

I would also favor something without a direct link to bitshares in it as that might come across as too (directly) advertising...

DAC Ventures and Free Space are my favorites.

Other suggestions: Robot Inc.

What do you think about "Free Space"?  I think that name goes well with the initial plan.  Still listening though for more opinions.  I will leave the names open for the next 2 days.  I will then post a vote in the community to see which name gets the highest votes.

The DAC explorer? DAC ventures at glance? 

[fuzzy]

I've thought about two channel names thus far:  Tea w/ Keyhotee, The Block Explorer. 

What do you think?  Any other suggestions?

[fuzzy]

Sounds like a nice spot.  Probably best to start with that and allow everything to just grow on its own as more people start joining up and the group gets large. 

I am personally looking into making a little blog that I can post to and would like to try to interview people who want their idea spread from within the community..  For instance a chat with Adam B Levin just to give him a platform to tell the community about his ideas, or MMC's Dev along with people who are actively producing new tools for the community...etc.

That will be a longer term venture on my part though and wouldn't even necessarily need to be attached to your weekly fireside chat, though clips could be shared and "mixed" freely among the community. 

[bytemaster]

I have a green screen coming so I can record clips that are quality for post-production.   I think that the most decentralized way of handling this would be for people to upload youtube videos with their questions... post a link on the forum and then each week I will respond to as many questions as I can in 1 hour of time and then upload my responses for our editors to produce into the final product kind of like the Ethereum video.

Those that don't want to post a video can write into the forum and have someone else ask their question for them (fuznuts for example).

Thoughts?

[fuzzy]

Ethereum guys actually made the video-interview central http://www.ethereum.org/

Yeh but it isn't quite as easy for BitShares PTS because BitShares PTS not only provides a platform and liquidity, it also has Invictus developing meaty apps and...eventually tool-sets for others to build with.  It takes hitting BitShares from a bunch of angles to get it across to people. 

For me, I'd like to ask every expert I talk to in these "shows" how they would describe BitShares PTS, etc...

For instance I would like to ask the MemoryCoin Dev why he came over here and where he believes the value lies (i'm willing to wager it will most likely boil down to the social consensus and community buy-in)

[fuzzy]

Great idea bytemaster!

The simplest way is to have one of those beer-drinking man-chats between nerds on Skype or whatever that are so popular these days. But I'd aim a little higher. This could double as serious promotion for Invictus and potential DAC creators, and quality production is very cheap with the technology we have available. It could also triple as media training - talking to a live camera is a skill like any other.

Pre-production

Scripting? Questions?  The community could post questions in a forum thread initially or a portion of the show centered on them.  (Bytemaster, a media "category" in the forums would be beautiful).  Of course people could also show up and ask questions when we are live, but I know I always have questions for Devs even if we get few people at first.  My hope for this would be to make it in the spirit of cryptocurrency--decentralized.  I'll gladly "host" a channel though.

Should there be an introduction video? Of course!, and I'm sure ByteMaster would let us use clips of their own for certain instances.

What's the format? Different each time? A) open, but people can "take the mic" and add their own points?, B) consider 1 hour of a 2-3 hour show to be "structured", with 1-2 hours hangout.

Quality
How will it be entertaining?  Sometimes it might not be, but the great thing about things today is that "best of clips" could be compiled by community members who love to do those things...or perhaps another model will eventually take shape.  Someone will eventually fill that hole just like you are stepping up to ask these questions

How will it be informative?  The hour of structure will talk about basics, news, sociopolitical "deep" questions...perhaps let "newbies" show up and ask questions during a certain portion (with backup material in the case noone shows up)
HD? HD shouldnt be too hard using Google Hangouts, but I personally hope it can be inclusive of a broader audience...unless their equipment is TERRIBLE ;P

Production

Where/how will it be filmed?    Personally like Google Hangouts (until a decentralized solution exists)...or in a Haunted Cemetery.

How will it be post-edited?     I will definitely play with it and edit it.  Will probably make a blog to post links to news, youtube vids...etc.  But I think it would be awesome if noone "owned" them.  Just post it under BitSharesCommunity or something to that effect and let other channels grow out of people doing their own work to the clips.   

Promotion

Where will it be posted?     Posting through popular social networking sites will be a good start.  I personally love that Decentralized platforms can, if done correctly, incentivize participants to work to add value to the network (thus increasing the value of their stake).
If ByteMaster puts a "Media" Category in their forums, I would be glad to post pertinent videos there and would love to see others do the same (make it a kind of video social video blog).

How will it be advertised?  Good question on the Advertising. 

As for the rest, we will see how this goes.  I want to be there and make this thing my baby, but I dont want it centralized around me.  I also would like to eventually find someone who is willing to call me out when I'm an ass.  If it even matters what "I" want, in this.  Opinions from the community should be of utmost importance.  The next step would be to open a thread (I'll figure this out) that asks some important questions as to how the community would like to bootstrap this.  The up votes are starting to get high enough for me to take notice...and obviously it is the same with Bytemaster

I'd love to help with this project...

[fuzzy]

I'll definitely be interested.  Please feel free to PM me and we can figure it out.

Learning linux terminal for class...then come back to see 38 votes up! 

This is pretty sweet so far.  I

If I had the skills to do a video series I'd send a comprehensive and detailed plan to Invictus ASAP. Bytemaster mentioned a Shark Tank-like strategy.

@Clains, if you ever feel like joining up with me I would have no worries.  It is my hope that experts from the community will lend themselves to the effort organically after they realize my motives.  An honest and passionate community can kickstart this in ways we've never before thought possible.  At first, it will likely not be professional quality, but what matters is the message...thought-provocation and reaching out to a broader audience to teach them about crypto in general and the tools and utilities that will make their lives the 2.0 version of what it is today.  We don't have to model ourselves after traditional shows btw!  This SHOULD be organic and build in scale/visual quality as we naturally grow. 

Looking like some things are starting to naturally catch already.  I will love to see community members wrap their arms around this...

As always, I am thankful to have found this board and thankful for all those who actively participate in this extremely valuable experience.

So funny because that is precisely how I felt about this.

@Clains Lets just set up a dang hangout sometime.  I'm already chatting with some people behind the scenes but dont want to say anything quite yet. 

Ultimately I would just like to have a hangout that goes on and people from the community can show up and be asses or brilliant...take it as we get it.  Eventually, people will gravitate toward it and fall in love with the extra "layer" of community this provides.  I imagine the ambiance of random hanging in Team Speak when playing games with friends, only with focus topics of the day (a little bit of extra structured points).

Of course special guests would stop by and we would cut these scenes, upload them as separate vids...once certain community members become more popular among the community in general, we will start having special episodes that are "higher quality".
Right now, my big thing is that even when I talk to Bitcoin lovers, I have to always explain what BitShares is...a show like this could clarify it really easily and bring the concept to a broader audience, while inviting them to come on and ask questions--or better, eventually become a community personality!

Though, ByteMaster, I would hope you would let me in on the use of those Obi-Wan Keyhotee memes

Remember that any source of continuous updates in video-format in this space will grow a strong following. If you get bytemaster on each week, you should make the most of it. I suggest you start planning out your first video immediately.

What you need to do is tell bytemaster when you'll have a script, location, etcetc. ready. For instance, Saturday 8th you'll have a script and everything ready and sent to bytemaster, and you'll do the interview on skype at x'O clock on Sunday 9th.

Call this the alpha episode, and get tons of feedback for improvements for the next Sunday.. 

[bytemaster]

Fuz,  if you would like to interview me once a week I can make some time in my schedule to provide updates for everyone.

[santaclause102]

maybe it would be worth mentioning in the monthly I3 newsletter, in something like a 'community activities' section. This would def get more people to vote.
A community actives section would be something that would encourage an even stronger community in general.

[fuzzy]

looking for more and building some stuff as a hobby until I get more to work with

Seriously considering this with what we have already though.  Let this effectively be one more bump to see how many we can get voting on this.

[CLains]

All investment I3 puts into promoting third-party DACs will return by value of PTS!

The earlier the better!

Great idea! 100% positive votes

Bump.

This topic makes a LOT of sense. We need a directory of DAC's sort of like kickstarter has a directory of companies seeking funding. I would be happy to work on this if there is interest. It could tie in nicely to the interview series.

Hm... PM me about it sometime.  I'd like to kick around ideas

[fuzzy]

@CL  I 100% agree.  For DACs to want to accept our social consensus model we as a community need to provide value similar to how BitCoin's community does.  A vibrant and helpful community will, in turn, attract vibrant and helpful Devs...which will, in turn, create more value within the community. 

Establishing ProtoShares/AngelShares as the preferred investment vehicle among our increasingly flourishing community will set the stage for a substantive rise in value over time.  It will also serve to harden the resolve of stake-holders when inevitable attacks come...

[CLains]

Great idea. It would be awesome if there could be a video series showcasing all the social consensus honoring DACs. In addition, it could be a way for these individuals to promote their own angel-model.

[fuzzy]

I would like to start doing video interviews for individuals working on future DACs that honor the ProtoShares/AngelShares Social Consensus.  I am currently gauging interest to see if it is something the community would rubber stamp.  These interviews would be posted to Youtube.

Please bump this post with a if you would like me to look into your project proposal or would like to see this happen.
