Is there a poll needed or can Cfb send it right away?

Pin

Let's send 250K and watch the result.
- How will we evaluate the results? By what criteria?

Doge is all about marketing but you have to understand what kind of marketing Doge is. It is a grass-root movement originated form miner's community. People join Doge reddit because they like it and they even spend their own money to promote Doge.

Now you tell me to use marketing to buy people's loyalty. Sorry it is not going to work. You have to create a grass-root movement.

I like marketing and we should do a lot of marketing but you have to be clever about it.    

Yeah, I think FrictionlessCoin NEX is one of the clever promotions. Smiley
I support CfB's poll to send him some coins. Smiley

As we know:

Bitcoin
  |
  | --- LTC --- A lot of Scrypt Coins
  |
  | --- PPC --- NVC --- A lot of PPC coins
  |
  | --- XPM --- A lot of XPM coins
  |
  | --- NXT --- A lot of NXT copycats

That's it. The innovation get success. Bitcoin is Newton, and NXT will build its success upon Newton's shoulders.

Part of the 10M should definitely go for user experience and marketing. To spend NXT marketing without a easy-as-apple interface is a waste and might hurt us permanently. We need to have a client that is as simple as online banking. Our client has to be simpler than bitcoin. Bitcoin's client shouldn't even be a reference. Bank of America's interface should be a guide as far as look and feel goes.
Long and boring instruction videos or manuals cannot overcome a weird hard to use interface.

WE MUST HAVE THE CLIENT BEFORE THE MARKETING.

We need a client now and marketing right after but please do not pull the trigger on marketing before having a client that doesn't reek of crypto currency.

I hear or read something about NXT, a link gets me to the client. that is where its end for me, never to come back again.

Joe average wont bother without an effecient self installer client.

are you saying nexern's client is an inefficient manual install client that is hard to use? I am confused.

How long does it take to write software? debug it, get it tested, etc. One day, one week, one month? All depends.
How long does it take to get actual marketing results? One hour? One day? one week? one month?

Software development takes time. Marketing also takes time.

With client one week away, we had to start marketing push now.

Please calm. 250K sent already. 3 million marketing plan has been tentatively approved. As long as results come in, regular 250K payments will be sent. Marketing is simply a cost that needs to be spent. 250K per month is 3 million NXT per year. that seems enough to get a lot more marketing done than before.

All the sausage making can be done at nxtcrypto now. There is funding. This thread will just be there for the progress announcements.


The point is: we want something official. As the price grows, suddenly people become more and more reluctant to spend on the work we do.
I got thanked by BTer for suggesting them to add NXT, they did, price grew 100%, did I get anything in return? NO. People wanted to reward BTER instead Smiley
This community is so ungrateful and selfish that it's painful.

We are sending people to the official bitcoin conferences from our own fucking wallets. Why aren't the NXT fund being spent on this?

Of course I am pissed, I have witnessed this selfish ungratefulness for over a month now and for some fuckedup reason this thread is still seen as the "official" place where these decisions is made, eventhough ALL the PR work are being done by us on the nxt forum. MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE and I am fuckng tired of it

Sorry about that, but NXT decision makers are here. Now we have a de facto marketing budget for 2014. Payable monthly, based on making good results each month. you won't have to deal with the funding issues anymore, salacz is de facto in charge of marketing budget, so just need to work with salacz.

Now marketing group has community backing. it is based on performance, but that is only fair. No need to waste energy on what happened in the past. This is a great day for NXT. Marketing budget initial funding happened.

WHAT ABOUT THE WHITEPAPER?

We need some super techie to polish the technical details. Sometimes marketing is purely technical

THIS SHOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN 7 DAYS

Are we talking about spending part of the unclaimed 9million on this? or just some persons private stash?

from unclaimed funds. CfB made executive decision, sent 250K to start. As long as salascz delivers, more payments to fund rest of plan. I think 3 million NXT for 2014 marketing is good.

We've been telling people that BS for a month, let's actually do it.  Put a 250k white paper bounty up right now, and all those who contributed can share it.

Good idea.
Also, wé have seen that BS for a month.
Looking at the reactions we have been getting, not a lot of others have Smiley

Anyway, 250,000 is agreed, and I am happy we can progress.

One thing I would like to see is a quality promotional video - with a real director and a real star   - somethings similar to Apple'a promotional video that can be aired during half-tiem Super Bow. That's the type of marketing I would like to see not the repetitions of many thing we have done.
I know, I am building a list of our famous fans here in this "hidden" place:

How about something like this:
1. Nexern client released and debugged. It has to be perfect.
2. Giveaway 500 NXT to 500 people on forums- 250k
3. 750k initial budget for marketing released to those chosen as managers. They can start planning and budgeting now though.

 you can then add this :
 4 .  1000 NXT to shops that will start accepting NXT to 1000 shops > 1KK NXT
 5 .  1000 NXT to each person that will start a thread on a techie/marketing/webmaster/gambling forum and support it /debate there...

Jesus, you don't need more articles and videos to prove that NXT is not a scam.

Why don't let big names do that for you? Many won't believe even if they read something, but they will believe that something is legit if they hear of from a "big" name!!

I just gave an example. Marketing is not about proving NXT is not a scam. It's about inspiring people.
