that sounds like a good plan but ethereum hasnt released any software and they dont plan to for a long while.. heck they havnt even done there ipo and they are plastered all over tv and news articles doing documentaries... why should we hide ourselves when other projects who are further behind in development are doing the complete opposite? if we get ourselves known now.. it may attract new tallented devs and new people to the community.. just because the main devs do not want to show their faces it doesnt mean other people in the nem community cannot put them selves forward as a representative to spread the word about the new economic movement that is NEM. we have nothing to hide and everything to show, i dont see why we should wait? ethereum has put them selves at the forefront of public knowledge with less than what we have! i think we should get ourselves out there!

Good points, I agree with you. Indeed, I think it would be a very important matter to market ourselves in the more technical circles as ethereum does and kindle some intelligent discussions as to what other creative ways we could use NEM platform. The only problem is at the moment we still lack the knowledge of our most important component, the technical part with all its details. This is the part on which ethereum builds their discussion although the development part is not ready yet. We could do the same and much more, but we should first find out how our platform works, what our biggest advantages are, what our disadvantages are(if we have any) and then we can bring up some real stuff not just guesses.
Another part we could discuss as soon as we've set some principles, core values and goals is our movement of which the technical innovation is only one part. What we want to do, how we want to do it, etc.
In the meantime if you manage to make Max Keiser mention us on twitter or RT that would be great! Am totally for that.
take it now and stop squeezing about nothing forever!
