After this first video is produced we will most likely start thinking about the next one which can be directed at people that already know about crypto. It is just a matter of priority about which one we do first.
Marketing segmentation - this is good. I hope our second video will be for Bitcoin holders. Because any good video should be finished with clear force to action. Best action is to buy DASH  Smiley. And to buy it people basically have to be aware about Bitcoin and have it.  Smiley

You are right, and there will be a second one directed at existing bitcoin holders, but think about the following:

1. We would have to divide the existing Bitcoin holders in two groups, a) BTC holders that don't know about Dash and b) BTC holders that already know about Dash but are not investing in it for their own reasons.

If group A, BTC holders that don't know about Dash, see our video somewhere around the Internet, it wont tell them much about the underlying technology but if they are interested they would know how to find more information about it and how to get coins.

On the other hand, If group B, BTC holders that already know about Dash, see our newbie introductory video, the video itself won't tell them much. But if they see our video is being published in different places around the Internet and that we are reaching a new audience, they may invest in Dash not because the video is telling them anything they did not know already but because they may like our approach to the market and invest in the fact that we are trying to attract new investment into the ecosystem.



2. The video being an introductory basic video can reach a broader audience but it will be our job to get it out there. My idea to do a formal press release with the video directed at traditional media publications. There are several press outlets that provide this type of service, so that we can reach media publications that traditionally don't report a lot on crypto but that may have marginal understanding of what Bitcoin is and may find it to be something interesting they can publish. If the video was too technical it would be unattractive to them and it would be constraint only to the crypto sphere. If we do this I firmly believe it would be the most effective combination.

The conclusion is that this marketing approach of reaching out to non crypto users will accomplish two things: 1. Truly inform new people that know nothing about crypto at a level they can understand and attract them directly into Dash. 2. Entice existing BTC holders to invest in Dash, not because the video is informing them but because they can see the team has the right vision and the project may grow from our efforts, so maybe that is a project they want to invest in.

As you can see this is the best balance when you consider pros and cons, and that is why we are going with this approach first. Later we can create a more technical one directed at a more crypto educated audience.

@alex-ru,  You are a visionary, I am proud to be part of this community together with you, I completely agree with your analysis.
Thanks for kind words. We all have to work hard in this direction especially because  Mr. Antonopoulos isn't with us yet.  Cheesy

is dash pump over or what? price kind of in the shitter



Have you taken a look at the general market?  There is serious attrition happening right now, Dash has retained its relative position as number 4th throughout this consolidation process. Before the last run up, several projects were ahead of Dash after this consolidation process none of those projects recovered their previous positions, that tells you that the whole market went down while Dash has retained its relative position acquired in the last run up.

Development is ongoing and there are really good things coming for Dash in the next few weeks. I believe the market will inevitably consolidate in a few more healthy projects this year, and Dash will for sure be one of them. So as far as risk goes, I feel very comfortable with Dash's long term viability.

And, with BTC down, this also looks like a nice entry point.

I may not uptodate... Is there any news on the dash explainer video(crowdfunded some time ago)?

 Yes, the script is under work, should be done soon.

 https://dashtalk.org/threads/darkcoin-animated-video.2777/page-5#post-51397

Something on this that is important. There is task-force of 5 people working on the script  right now, including Ghostplayer who has a lot of experience working on this type of project for advertising spots, etc.

Target Audience and what to expect from this first video

I think it is important that after consulting with a lot of people and trying different things we decided to create a video that is directed at new users, people that are not already into crypto. We want to speak to people beyond the crypto forums first. This means this first video will definitely not be a technical one going into details about Darksend or InstantX, it will be an easy to understand introduction to the non crypto enthusiast about the benefits of Dash.

We will look to publish this video in blogs and sites that target a broader audience more than in the traditional crypto sites. Of course we will also share it on the traditional crypto sites but that is not necessarily the main target as it won't be a technical piece.

After this first video is produced we will most likely start thinking about the next one which can be directed at people that already know about crypto. It is just a matter of priority about which one we do first.

LOL, no time to watch it all now, but is that young lady channeling Ayn Rand or perhaps she was Ayn Rand in a previous life?  LOL.

Ok, it's up on my computer to watch later, thanks coins101!!

Keep Dash decentralized. Please.

I think that the coming years will belong to the ARM platform. AMD is working on a server-ARM processors. As soon as the rental period ends VPS, I am going to run Masternode on 
  • Raspberry Pi 2 or
  • Banana Pi or
  • Orange Pi or
  • Odroid C1
That's how I see decentralization.
I hope that there will soon be downloadable official builds on the ARM platform.

There is a step by step posted somewhere to run a masternode on rpi2 I believe Smiley

thats my writing. Grin

Seemed like a fun project to do. Its running great still for i think almost 2 to 3 months now! No crashes at all. Only the build takes some time to complete.

I heard some nano satellites only have the processing power of a phone OS, so what we need to do is micro fund a tiny satellite, put a masternode on it and launch into space, what could be easier, would love to see a nano satellite on the Big Map  Grin
(cool cube image)

I'll be up for that crowdfunder.

I'll donate the hand, to get things moving quicker Grin

Pi in the sky - very decentralized. I like it.

"Garzik estimates that it would cost just $2m to get one into orbit. Once in space, it would serve as an alternative way to distribute block chain data. “Information wants to be free,” Garzik said in his post about the project."

When DASH gets to $2,000 / DASH then we are good to go.


Orbital masternodes with the Dash logo painted on the sides and at only 2 million, not much really when crowd funded.
I would even donate fiat debt gov paper towards that one.
Its a hell of a bit of advertising eh-could get on the big news channels  Cool

whoops!

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
To those claiming Dash is "centralized on Evan" (which is actually a desperate attempt to use the word "centralized" despite not being applicable in this context): In this video Mike Hearn makes an excellent comparison between Bitcoin and Linux development, watch till 11:27:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RIafZXRDH7w#t=632

The Master Reference Masternode, which Evan controls, is certainly centralized.

We hear some happy talk about how magical crypto fairies will fix that, because decentralizing a trusted third party is "not impossible."

So it's an easy task, right?  We don't need to see whitepaper/math/code.  Just trust the 100% Not Centralized Reference Masternode Foundation (and ignore vertoe, because disgruntled).
