We really need more people's opinions here, thanks for posting salmion.

Yeah, I thought you were hinting at other people being in the video...my apologies i read between the lines on that one.

Why was Bitcoinrush chosen to represent Dark?

I will always contribute when I feel I can add something. Glad we can disagree gratefully and not make anything personal.

Agreed. The official video should be simple, clear, informative exciting.

A um..quirky.. interview with this fellow shouldn't be "official". But the official video needs broader support, clean execution.

hip, cool factor? One person's cool is another person's fuckoff.

simple, simple, simple.

Tao you do great work but I also do not see this as the right path for an offical video. If it's a bit of fun for you go for it.
But the official video needs to be something quite different.

Again, this is not the only video we will ever make.

Where are you getting these ideas from? If your referring to the joke between myself and Ignition75, it was started in the Darkcoin the Movie thread where he would be played by the Rock and I would be played by Johnny Depp as Rango.

I never once said I was going to be in this video, as of now it's only the host and Evan. Please don't make baseless comments. Be constructive. This is not "THE" promo video for Darkcoin, it's just an episode of Bitcoin Rush that we are going to take advantage of to educate people about DRK in a funny way.

It's going to happen, if you don't like it, don't participate in the planning!

I hope you do decide to contribute, however, you are also a Darkcoiner...

Read what you have said that, watch Bitcoinrush videos...that doesnt work does it. We need to find somebody else.

Thanks for replying Tao. I disagree and think if we dont take this seriously, the video will turn out cheap/amateurish. I know you guys think when you are writing it that it sounds funny...but I guarantee it wont come across funny to anybody outside the darkcoin "inner circle". For example, dressing up as a chameleon/lizard? Not only dont I get it, nobody else outside darkcoin forums will get it. Please dont use this for 15mins of fame, it will do and do more harm than good.

At the end of the day, we need to pay for good marketing...there is no way round this. All the big online magazines/blogs will want to talk with Evan after Instantx is released, there will be lots of interview opportunities in the future.

I feel Bitcoinrush was chosen simply because one he met one of the guys, this is not a good enough reason. Would this not be a good reason for one of the Polls to see what the community thinks? Surely i cant be the only one


For anybody not following, Bitcoinrush (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kROQg4YpZdI) has been chosen to do a video for darkcoin. I personally disagree, dont think he has broad user appeal and I find his delivery style dated.

yes, marketing to publicize the development and potential of DRK

I am surprised that there is not a video commercial by now

"Rash is coming? You don't want or you can't wait until the trusted network mixes your coins and you don't want your coins be hacked by the centralized mixer???... Allow me to introduce you the Darkcoin!!! Trustless, Instant, Anonymous currency!!! No More waiting, No more trusting, No more Centralized hacker prone netwroks"

or something like that

This is where I think a lot of people get it wrong, we do need Merchant Adoption, yes, but we should also heavily focus on customer adoption! This is where Bitcoin is doing it wrong, sure, everyone and their dog ACCEPTS Bitcoin, but relatively few people have it to give them. This is where we have a chance to outperform Bitcoin, create a hip, cool factor to carrying Darkcoin...once we do that then the merchants will come naturally!

I agree with everything you said here. We will certainly need professional videos done in the future. Nobody's denying that. This is just a light hearted piece to introduce people to Darkcoin in a funny way. Nobody is pinning their hopes and dreams on this...some people are making it out to be a bigger deal than it is.

im ready to donate some dark for this. we really need to explain how does it works simply.

No! We need Merchant adoption in general, not underground markets. Silk Road adopted BTC and it didnt go through the roof because of it. It went up and steady. Underground will do nothing but tarnish DRK's potencial.

Not saying I'm against underground markets, but lets think bigger and wider.

Nobody knows what Darkcoin is, never mind that it can do. This is why (imo) we need some professional promo video work done. As a community we can come together and donate (what is set aside for this so far?)

Yes in a few hours.
76.68%.

I agree, we need Merchant Adoption underground markets. we will need much time for that

We may have a convention in Vegas coming up next year, if Tungfa get's her way...

These trendy video animations with professional narration are able to explain complex ideas quickly, efficiently and more importantly in a fun way that is accessible to most people. This is what people want, not some nerds sitting around for 15mins going into far too much detail. Interviews will come in time, plus they will be free (im sure the world will be interested in how Evan has fixed a few of the mighty Bitcoin's shortfalls).

Video one: short and sweet (Key points only)

What other coins have produced, so this is what we are up against (this is what we should be aiming for).

After all hard work Evan’s done, it would be a shame to ruin it with some halfassed attempted at marketing. People will be watching, if this video is cheesy/cringy, the whole crypto world will be pointing and laughing. We should be showing people that Darkcoin isn't just for nerds, doing this interview with Bitcoinrush only cements that fact. Was Bitconinrush chosen to represent Darkcoin because somebody met him?

Edit; These are just examples to get my idea across, just so we are on the same page...is it just me that thinks this?

 So it seems x11ltc1btc.com actually played fair this time round? Good on them!

 If that is so, we'll reach 80% todays, right? 

75.55% 
Evan wake up and get prepared.
