I just watched the show, I think that, by Bitcoin Rush standards, it was very good. I don't like the style of the host either but that is kind of his signature and the reason I am not a viewer of his shows. Having said that, I think this was directed at the people that are not part of the Darkcoin community that do watch his shows, so I am happy that whoever is part of his regular audience will now be informed about DRK. For us, who are already part of the community, it is just fun to watch Evan and the animations, etc, but we are not really the target audience since we are already here.
I hope people that don't know about DRK yet watch it and find out more about the project. Thank you everybody who worked so hard on this, it was really good work and you can tell how better this episode is compared to other bitcoin rush episodes. Thanks.

I think that Evan would do better in just a straight interview scenario.
He's certainly telegenic. Articulate, smart, and that enthusiasm just shines through. I'd love to see him on something like the Keiser Report. I was thinking the same thing.
Tao - Get Into The Dark: Spam Max and Stacey and they will get Evan on the show.
Bloomberg TV is also one to go for: I'm on it (not actually on Bloomberg TV, but gonna spam the producers with a few emails
).Re: Bloomberg TV: Tweet @mattmiller1973. He knows what Darkcoin is already and could have some persuasion with producers.

That was one of the weirdest, creepiest things I've seen in a bit and it was 100% related to the host and the camera-switching format.
Evan though came across as a natural and was awesome! This should be a good pre-pre-precursor to Evan going live on Bloomberg TV soon.
JL
+1 I think Evan comes across great and very natural so well done Evan.
I cant stand the host and his bow tie, seems very amateurish and robotic as a presenter and speaks as if he is reading one word at at time from script.. I would have preferred a different host with those great animations.
Lets hope we can get Max or Bloomberg interviews

I deleted my comment, as I had doubts about it being worth saying, I still don't know but re-posting it, seems that I could be more constructive, but anyway it's just one person's initial personal take on this and so I'll let it stand...

I can barely watch because of the host. I want to hear Evan, he's well spoken and easy to listen to, the bitcoin rush guy makes me want to kill myself with the way he speaks. I'd love a version where the Bitcoin rush guy is muted and replaced by subtitles.
Good to have publicity, I liked the animations, I guess that I'm not the target audience as I found the style very cringe worthy and hard to relate to, though I am so far removed from mass media that maybe it's more a case of that's just me and it will work better for others, ie I've had no TV for over 20 years at least and hardly ever watch any video clips, etc, anyway nice to see stuff getting experimented with, I won't be offering any donations though this time & best luck with the next.
I did see one previous bitcoin rush vid clip that I thought OK, not sure why I didn't rate this one, it seemed maybe a bit too contrived, I think that Evan would do better in just a straight interview scenario.

Exactly what I said in my next comment, straight up interview, get to the facts and let the technology almost speak for itself. I contacted MKBHD on twitter, usually he's more into straight up gadget reviews but he's super charismatic and loves tech so he might be interested.

Some big sell walls on Cryptsy Otoh...are you up for the challenge? Who's gonna budge first?
I need to sleep, they can come to me if they like, np, the bid walls aren't going anywhere, it's 3AM & I'm up early to start trans continental travels tomorrow, well that's later this week but I leave home in a few hours to start the voyage.
safe travels! and hopefully you are still on the board when you get back!

I love it that you guys are thinking of other places to get attention and interviews! Let me know if I don't catch a post, if something catches, I'd love to be on the team to work on another project - even if only to cheerlead, LOL!

Oh gosh, I want a 3d printer SO BAD! But no $$$ My nephew has one, but I don't even have the $$ for the plastic, LOL.
Haha yes this is an impressive piece of technology, I guess you can mine DRK Darkcoin until you can afford one lol.
Thanks.

Wow, I didn't expect everyone to love it, as I know Bitcoin Rush is a strong personality, but this was a bit worse of a reaction than I expected. Everyone agrees, though, that Evan was great, so that's good.
I hope more of you will post your honest reactions. I'd like to get a good idea of where we went wrong. I thought it went according to plan, that BTC Rush was presented with all of his personality, etc... just as he normally is, only better, IMO. I'll say this, if you didn't know who he is, and what he does, it can be.... er... weird, LOL. But his friendly, enthusiasticly, quirky presentation style is his biggest asset IMO.
Gosh, I'm overwhelmed with the negativity. I thought it was a great show! A controversial choice in host, I can agree, but I think we hit the nail on the head with execution.
Well, I guess we'll have to see if this plays out well, and spreads the word??

You guys clearly put a lot of effort into this and that shows, it's just the bitcoin rush guy is not charismatic at all, he distracts from a simple message which Evan can clearly deliver on his own. Evan has a nice natural charisma and when he says something he comes across as sincere while the other bitcoin rush guy I can barely listen to what he has to say because he's so off-putting in his delivery. I know Evan can't necessarily go face to face for an interview but most tech personalities come off better. Anyways, I got through the video just cause I like Evan.
