They don't have them there yet. It will start in February.

Ah, ok. Then it depends on how it's gonna look. If it's: "And now listen to advertising! Nxt, nxt, nxt, buy, buy, buy!" then it's not cool. If it looks like we're their regular guests because Nxt is so cool that they want to have someone from the community to speak about Nxt in every single show then go for it.

There are 1-2 minutes for sponsors (30 sec or 60 sec spot from the interview with Nxt speaker). Those sponsors would sponsor electrum, mastercoin etc... or NXT.

I like the idea. No need to rush though. The guys are doing a great job on the conference, Vircurex and Cryptsy is going to add Nxt. I'd say let's wait for higher price before selling coins to pay for it.

I would say these sponsor spots wouldn't be about selling, more about sharing interesting tidbits or features with our cryptocurrency and new-things interested audience so they look further into NXT and become members of your community.  We are currently booking out sponsors on LTB for the next six months and anticipate having all spots filled within the next two weeks.  We've approached Mastercoin, and will be speaking to Bitshares and Ethereum next week with the same offer we presented to NXT, but we only have room for 1-2 projects to take us up on it.  Right now everyone but the NXT crew are occupied with Miami, so you guys actually have a time advantage until monday.

I would run an NXT show that focuses on the community, and am talking with a member of your community about developing that.  

Whoa, am I hearing you right? Do you mean you would start an entire NEW show based on the Nxt community?? If so, wow!

I think he meant an entire "episode" dedicated to discussing NXT.


No, I meant a new weekly show.  I wasn't volunteering to be the host, I said I would give a platform to it and help you find an audience just as I'm helping all the shows on the LTB network.   Among other things, we start on terrestrial radio (test market in southern california) in February.   Somebody in this thread said he wanted to start a show and I said he should do it and would help him any way I could.

Important Funding request
Unofficial PR Committee agrees with the decision to have a paid 1 minute sponsor spot at the Let's talk... (one favourite Bitcoin show).

There will be also 4 new shows, but I wouldn't like to spend too much NXT. If we wanted to be in all 5 shows for 6 months, it would cost 1.3 mega NXT.

I am for: 1 minute long ad (=sponsor spot) at one show for 3 months for 270k NXT. Or: 500k NXT for 6 months.
(maybe we could add one more show..)

I will be exchanging NXT probably after Vircurex boom, if there will be any. So price in NXT could be lower.

I am asking the community if we can spare some unclaimed coins for this advertisement. Also if we have any private stakeholders who would like to sponsor this. And ofcourse if you agree with this all.

I don't want to write everything publicly, so who wants details, I will send him them.

Ad = an interview with a NXT developer or evangelist who can speak about NXT in a compelling way

Thank you for your attention. I am personally against paid ads, but this time it is little different.


paid add, bad idea, waste of money.

I don't really see the sense in running ads now let alone locking in medium to long term contracts at current Nxt prices.  At least wait until we're on a few more exchanges as there's a reasonable chance Nxt will increase in price based on that alone and then our advertising Nxt will go farther.

Update #9 - Bitcoin Update Miami

We sat down for lunch with one of the managing partners of Bit Angels. They have raised over 10 million dollars and looking to fund decentralized applications regardless of the platform. This could be a great funding opportunity down the road... in fact, there's a crypto shark tank that we'll talk about shortly that'll appear at Bitcoin Vegas. Had a great time talking about Nxt and look forward to following up on this initial meeting next week.


As we start to grow, it's important to focus on venture and angel investor involvement.

I have requested a speaker able to speak about NXT to interview for the Let's Talk Bitcoin show

Has anyone been recommended to you yet for this interview?

I believe they already want to do a show on Nxt in the near future. Is this paid spot in addition to the guest speaker Adam requested?

Those things are free because you have an interesting project, and I genuinely want to keep up to date on it.  The NXT show will only be interesting to people who want to know about NXT, and the interview will only run on one episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin.  Sponsoring LTB as suggested for 6 months means our growing audience hears about NXT, in whatever light you want - I suggested having many spots talking about different features, or exciting updates - Things that make people want to learn more about NXT.

It should also be noted that we only run 2 minutes worth of sponsor content per hour so buying out a minute slot means half our inventory is occupied for that amount of time, and Anthony Di Iorio already bought out a 30s slot for a year starting in February.    

Thanks for the clarification, and thanks for being so active on our thread! Looking forward to guest speaker interview!

I think a paid 30s spot on a few epidsodes of Lets Talk Bitcoin would be a good idea, especially if the spot is different on each episode, comes from one of our community members, and is used to introduce or highlight new features or developments in Nxt. It doesn't have to sound like an ad.

Update 8 - Bitcoin Coinference

This might be one of the of most exciting updates. Justabit introduced me to the GoCoin (payment processor) team. We had an opportunity to talk about Nxt PoS and what separates it from the onslaught of other coins.  JustaBit is passing on final information for Peer...  once we have a solid wallet, GoCoin will be ready to look deeper into Nxt This was a great step and feel we opened up another door today.

As a side note, JustaBit and I attended one of the panels that had GoCoin. JustaBit mentioned Nxt during the audience question segment  and later in the meeting, GoCoin made a mention of Nxt and JustaBit stood up and said "Oh yeah". Smiley Fun moment... I was surprised at how many people at least heard of Nxt in some fashion.

You guys are doing great!

no, they probably sent it before the idea of Nxt show.

Could you show any examples of such advertising in their shows? I didn't see/listen them, so don't know how it looks and don't have an opinion atm.
