@Mario: yep, Gill sans was used for most NXT promo material up until now, but Fatih used BankGothic on his new box-of-chocolates design.

@Fatih: Love the images, very, very nice.

BUT....I've just checked the sizing for Vistaprint and they are slightly wrong for the bumpersticker format.
Stickers will be 279mm x 76mm when printed, which means that u need to take your images from 2835 x 6xx pixels, up to around 2835 x 810 pixels. Best way to do this is NOT to resize, but to add some more background to make the images deeper (more vertical).
If u can deal with German, heres a link to the Vistaprint up load interface for the stickers:

http://www.vistaprint.de/gallery/AGQBAAABAI8AAAA=/au%C3%9Fenaufkleber-rechteckig.aspx?txi=15107&xnid=UseCasePage_Bumpers+Stickers+%28linked+item%29_Stickers+%26+Decals_Labels+%26+Stamps_All+Products&xnav=TsrImage

I can maybe do another check for if u can get back to me fairly soon....

Image resolution seems good, btw, i'm seeing 72pixels/inch, Vistaprint aren't complaining.

Alright.

I will resize the images when I get home. That will be over 3-4 hours.

Glad you like it.

@ salsacz: sent u the full size .jpgs for all 3 stickers.
Any questions,  get back to me. I'll be around (off and on) for much of today.

@Fatih:
Yes, do it. It's your design after all, and u r the best guy for the job.
 
The only point to remember with getting these printed up quickly is that Vistaprint (and others) will crop the image slightly during the production process, which is why I added an extra 10-20 pixels as a black border to your original.
If u do make new versions, make sure that the main image doesn't get cropped. You can use the sizes of my images as guide: 2925x819 pixels.

BTW: I dont like my addition of the URL to your image, fonts not right, for a start, which font did u use?



I used BankGothic as font.

Let me know if you know a better font. And if you know what the resolution has to be le me know as well. Then I can make it fit for Vistaprint.

nope  Cheesy

helpful  Cheesy

Any how, heres a couple of small versions, the fonts not quite right, but I've added the borders needed to get a good print to both of these, so u can submit them both to Vistaprint without any f**king around.

No URL


With URL (need correct font...)


Thats it for tonight, send me yr mail addy, I'll send u the proper print versions.
U, or one of the Berlin guys, needs to get these submitted to vistaprint.de as soon as possible, if u want to have them before the 12th.

Good luck, off to bed.....


Hi guys,

This is my design. I can post a high resolution today.
I can also make alternative designs. Will post it in a couple of hours.

Edit; More designs coming in 1 hour.

Articles writing updates - some topics were assigned in last days (open bounty is up to 3.000 Nxt/good long article)

- Why is pure Proof of Stake in Nxt best solution for cryptocurrencies?

- How can you mine Nxt only with solar energy?

- How could decentralized exchanges change the world? (no Government, no censorship, USA, China...) - + decentralized messaging, DNS
 - - Decentralized internet and Nxt solutions: Salsacz


- The 51% Attack - technical details, history of 51% attacks, how it ended, Nxt solution (is Nxt safer than other PoS currencies?) (Ghash's pool is risking Bitcoin's security again with 40% of the network's hashpower and no one is talking about it. Pools of PoW machines with enormous hashpower is Bitcoin's most pressing concern and biggest flaw right now. Nextcoin is the best answer to this. Why is it not being talked about more?)
- Zahlen

- Nxt: gaming friendly currency (vs. Litecoin, a graphic cards killer) - Due to Litecoin's difficulty skyrocketing there is a global shortage of Graphic Cards, which piss off gamers tremendously and drive up the price for grahics cards. NXT solves this. (Uniqueorn's idea, maybe reserved for him..?)

- Nxt + Raspberry (+other similar platforms (Cubietruck)) (can be different articles, also short articles) (0 energy  forging package)

- Transparent Forging (very very technical, history of mining, comparisons)

Shorter articles/essays:

- Why should you invest in Nxt? (/Why should you invest in Nxt long term?)
- bithic
- Damelon
- many free spots

- Why is Nxt so friendly currency?: (i) It *doesn't* have VC capital backing. ii) It *doesn't* have "slick sales guys*. iii) It *does* have smart devs and an increasing following.  iv) It *is* delivering its promises (more or less) on time.) - more about the community, people form all over the world, community funding, decentralized company - a world of free individuals who all believe in Nxt. 1500 pages in Bitcointalk
- bithic

- How Nxt changed my life


Future (short) articles: (now it's to soon):

- Who accepts Nxt as a payment? (+ fee in Nxt vs. Bitcoin vs. fiat (VISA))
- Nxt invites altcoins to host on it's blockchain
- Can be a new internet stored on Nxt's blockchain / DNS system?
- Nxt clients: Damelon

Have you got any idea about some other article? Share it. We would love to have more scientific articles, financial, economical, IT...

5:47 and counting....

Salsacz, here's the slightly tidied up gold on black bumper sticker, small version:



and here's a blue on white I did for the fun, not totally happy with it, but is nice, clear, simple and less dramatic than the G/b



On the printing front, I'm going to get some of the gold on black printed via:
www.vistaprint.nl
Their bumper sticker is 279mm x 76mm, I made the full versions to that size precisely
As well as fullsize bumper stickers, I'll get some smaller (50% reduction, so 1/4 the area of the big version) stickers printed up on a roll, for NXTing things smaller than a car.
My stuff is all in .jpg, vistaprint.nl has no problem with that, I'm assuming vistaprint.de won't have a problem either.
Heres the link, choose 'Eigenes Design hochladen', and take it away....
http://www.vistaprint.de/gallery/AGQBAAABAI8AAAA=/au%C3%9Fenaufkleber-rechteckig.aspx?txi=15107&xnid=UseCasePage_Bumpers+Stickers+%28linked+item%29_Stickers+%26+Decals_Labels+%26+Stamps_All+Products&xnav=BrowseDesigns

Send me a PM with yr e-mail and I'll send u the full size versions for printing. TinyPic wants to compress everything it sees....

Bounty would be nice, but no rush, I'll see what the printing costs come to first, and if anyone else wants some stickers. 
BTW, stole Mareks 3d rendering for the gold on black, gonna share some bounty with him.

EvilDave: you have 9 hours Cheesy

8:57 and counting.
On the case. Do u have a fast turnaround print shop ready to go ?
In NL, I'd use: 
www.vistaprint.nl
24-48hours delivery, very cheap & reasonable quality.
Maybe they have a German equivalent?
......and, as if by magic (well, google):

Eigentümlich frei is a libertarian monthly print magazine , with a circulation of about 6,000 copies. The online edition ( www.ef -magazin.de ) is clicked by 300,000 readers a month.
Readers are especially educated men younger to middle-aged , who are followers of the Austrian Economics and the current money system are critical .
I find an interesting target group for Nxt .
The media data can be found here: http://ef-magazin.de/media/assets/EF_Mediadaten_kompakt.pdf

How should the marketing look like? I would prefer the online edition and indeed a large banner 200x400 pixels. Take a look here right how it looks like : http://www.ef-magazin.de/

Cost: To start times 1 month I would propose . This will cost € 386.75 inclusive of VAT
In addition, we would have a nice set of meaningful banner in 200x400 pixel format (ie portrait) Unfortunately, I 'm not good in such things, can somebode help out her? Cax?

How to finance : I try to get the Nxt marketing budget once. We need about 9200 Nxt . I would be great to get, 10.000 Nxt , so the one who created the banner ,
also gets something .

What is your opinion about this?

salsacz: If I get green lights from the marketing fund I would start here and manage everything. Just tell we if you would be fine to donate 10k of the Nxt Marketing found for this!

the topic should be based on:

internet vs. decentralized DNS in Nxt
= internet controlled by government vs. Kim Dotcom + Assange + Snowden's free noncensorable internet data and communication

you can even use a picture of the gevernment representative vs. our heros: Snowden and Assange
this focus on decentralized Nxt can be implemented into the banner. IF the banner was based on free web, it could be worth it.

The picture should be a response on this text:
http://ef-magazin.de/2013/11/11/4639-edward-snowden-das-ende-des-internets

You could try to ask the german community, if they could write the article about Nxt too, also as a response on this text:
http://ef-magazin.de/2013/11/11/4639-edward-snowden-das-ende-des-internets
http://ef-magazin.de/2013/12/16/4759-bitcoins-echte-alternative-oder-kontrollierte-opposition-aus-der-puppenkiste-der-wall-street-cia-und-nsa

if not, than at least similar to:
http://ef-magazin.de/2013/07/01/4322-bitcoin-als-vertrauenswuerdiges-geld-geschaetzt

Such articles would mean also an additional bounty

So you start with the banner or article texts and if you "deliver"something, we can try to get it to the "Eigentümlich frei" and even other Magazines, even in other languages.

Good job

Thank you Sir. We do what we can to bring Nxt to the next level. It´s not so easy to write an article there. But I guess with a Banner we could open the door somehow, that I can write something over Altcoins with some warm words for Nxt (I don´t always write articles for print magazines, but when I do I write in "eigentümlich frei")

Good night!

Conferences

Berlin (February 12/13)
- McJavar
- l8orre
- admiral.fu
- Bitventurer
- Salsacz (?)
- narknark (?)

Berliners: lurning, nakauchi, Edward Snowden

Guys, are you ready for the conference  Cool

Current team is:

l8orre - local
admiral.fu - help between sessions
Bitventurer - from Hamburg  - network pass
Salsacz - from South Bohemia - network pass

I just finished Business cards design:


Salsacz: Over promo stuff for the conference:
Do you want some stickers, for example:


I can send a slightly tidied up, full size version in a few hours. You could then get it printed up locally for the conf.
People love free stuff, and stickers always end up in a nice visible spot. Very cheap, very effective at spreading the word.

How's admiral.fu and the t-shirts coming on?
