PLZ Help me make contact w/ #nextcoin creator.Hosting The Crypto Currency Convention n NYC.We want them to speak and promote #NXT

I've missed the past few days. Did we get anyone lined up for these?

For the LTB show, we'll need someone who can speak passionately about Nxt, the community, and the Future! (Perhaps two people would make for a more interesting interview. Joefox and one of the devs, for example?)

My apologies if this has all been decided and I didn't notice.

you guys can imagine what my performance would be like from the interview with tai zen. idk if thats the sort of thing you are looking for. i dont think it was passionate per say.

The main thread moves too quickly for me to keep up with, but it seems every time this comes up it gets lost amidst all the other conversations. These two opportunities need to be decided on soon.

For the Let's Talk Bitcoin podcast, I suggest we ask joefox and anon136 to work together with Adam on getting this to happen. If they want someone who is more involved with the development to join one of them in the interview, then it's probably best for them to ask someone directly rather than waiting for one of the devs to volunteer.

I think it would be a good move to have joefox involved in the interview, because it'll lend weight to his "News On Nxt" updates as well as give him an opportunity to talk about his planned Nxt podcast.

For the New York speaker, I have no suggestions, but it seems like an opportunity we shouldn't pass up, since they're actually looking for someone to talk about Nxt.

Anon,

If it's possible to team up with someone you feel comfortable with and who feels more at home talking to a live audience, I would say do that.
You could go with joefox for instance if he wants. He could fill in the gaps (he's an actor, so should be able to spot when you get "stuck" and get the ball rolling again).

You have a very good talent for translating the things that look obcure on paper to examples people can grasp. I liked your explanation of TF very much.

I would very much like you to consider doing it and I think you underestimate your presentation!

Also: working in a duo with someone you feel at home with is much more fun. Smiley

2) It would be nice to have a space for actual spots at our websites... It is very nice to have something new, non static...
- then we can easily add also Joefox's radio show


Yes! We could serve the podcasts on the www.nxtcrypto.org site. This would help folks like me who don't have a soundcloud account and don't really want to set one up. Remember, I do have a server for nxtcrypto that can handle the bandwidth of streaming these Smiley

I'd be happy to set it up within the next week. Joe Fox could use a provided interface to upload them to the website as he wants to distribute them. Let me know...

I think you can only make some box, where you put embeded code:



Unless we also have him upload the file directly to the nxtcrypto site. We do have a lot of interested traffic and could even provide them with RSS or subscribe options.

Blockchain Explorer shows support in my marketing account for the continuation of website and networking. I very much appreciate it! Thank you.

You keep saying "my site" without listing the link and talking about needing donations but never post an nxt address. You cant assume people know what you're talking about. People cant just guess these things or assume its the stuff in your sig. You have to put it in your posts or explicitly reference where to find the info.

Apologies, I did assume that viewers would know that it was the stuff in my signature. No offense, the "my" is used to assume responsibility for what has been done here:

QBTC, what's your Nxt account number? I'll send you some more Smiley

EDIT: Just realized, your account number is in the 4th line of your sig. This gets cut off for me (maybe my forum theme or something?). I can only barely see the top few pixels of that line, have to copy and paste somewhere else to read it. Maybe that's why people weren't donating?

I fixed it running out the door and only now have a chance to thank you for your observation.

I will be updating nxtspain blog with fine tuned spanish translations of the most relevant available articles. Salsacz, feel free to point your OP/docs at the blog permalinks for your Nxt Myths series. 1 and 2 available already, more to come soon.

+
we will be re-using "one minute spots for Let's talk Bitcoin". How can we use them?
1) share only MP3 by social media sites:
- Facebooks
- Twitters
- maybe russian vk
- Reddit - this can also establish our Reddit platform

2) It would be nice to have a space for actual spots at our websites... It is very nice to have something new, non static...
- then we can easily add also Joefox's radio show

3) ? any more ideas? Maybe a video..

The most useful video we have so far is still salsacz's original. 1' contents could be the base for a short redux of that video as an easy to share appetizer.

A problem I see with video production in this moment is we don't really have yet a proper hook for people outside the crypto community. Eco forging is sweet, but I don't believe forging itself is an asset to sell nxt to an audience, for the simple reason that new users that look into it will most likely be disappointed. Forging is a paradigm shift, not a feature to attract people into profit. Following that mindset seems a wrong move. I was considering doing a little animation video teaser for sustainable/cubie forging but it simply does not feel like the right target.

Asset exchange would be a game changer, but right now we have close to nothing.

Besides introductory concepts already covered in salsacz's video, the only firm asset we have so far to address a wider audience is the community concept, and a call to come aboard. But we need to be specific, we need facts to show. This, for instance, deserves some effort. Whether it's done or not, it is possible. And that we can show.

Also, I'd like to suggest that we all move over to the nxt forum n post there to show some activity n not have it look like a ghost town.  It doesn't make any sense to "market" n "promote" nxt but put in all the work n effort on a btc forum.

Either the developers or the marketers have to take initiative to make the move... we can't keep asking the nxt developer community to move over when we ourselves are still here. Since we are a smaller group (but have a big impact on nxt) I suggest we make the move over to the nxt forum first n set the pace for the rest of the nxt community to follow.

If we keep posting here.. there will be no reason for people to switch over n start to develop the nxt forum.

People don't like change... so as long as we continue to post here... there is no reason for the nxt community to migrate to nxt forum.

I don't care which nxt forum, just pick one or vote on one n we all move.

I suggest nxtcrypto.com so there is no conflict of interest with the dgex exchange.

Tai Zen
has to be nxtcrypto, dgex guy does not like me at all, and he has clearly stated that anybody that didnt expect him to "protect his interest" was kidding themselves. That means that anything posted negatively about anything related to dgex gets censored, deleted, etc.

I like this idea, but the nxtcrypto forum layout is not nearly as efficient and useful as this. It looks pretty, but there's so much wasted space. Is there a chance the style can be updated to be a little more functional and compact?

I've just created a new topic on the nxtcrypto forum about this:

Is this being hosted on a dedicated server or something? why is it so expensive? Can't we host it at a lower rate at hostgator and move it over to a higher tier service once we get some traffic?

Tai Zen

This is a server setup that I'm familiar with and can tweak for Drupal performance the way I've been doing for years. It saved me time in that regard. It is a dedicated server. I set it up when the exchange was under DDOS and there were some bandwidth issues and bogging down. I wasn't sure what to expect, so I decided to opt for speed and security.. And the path wasn't clear as to where community sites would be hosted, and I got room for expansion.

I do have a smaller, slower server I could move it to and have considered it. Maybe we should make the move and see how it goes. I'm willing to.

Salsacz asked us to jump over to this thread so I'll quote this in entirety for context:

All,  Ive asked QBTC to list her out of pocket expenses so far for website.  Obviously, she should be reimbursed from unclaimed NXT for this, hopefully along with a bit of bounty for her hours and hours and hours of professional services on the site.

And the community will need to determine if she should scale back the performance of the site to lower the bills.

Obviously she cannot continue to fund the www site like she has been doing.  If the community doesnt want her to continue running it then at least reimburse her for the $ she's spent on it so far.

I made a proposal yesterday for at least her cost so far (which is considerable, btw) to be reimbursed directly from unclaimed coins since she has already provided those services.  But no one seems to want to do that, so I guess we probably wont have a www site whenever the monthly cost for it is due again.

I was thinking that we could pay her costs from until now directly from unclaimed NXT, and the future costs would come from marketing fund, but at this point it looks like we wont have a web site too much longer, unless someone else wants to just pay the cost out of their own pocket as well as do all the work themselves.

WTFO?Huh   Angry  Personally I think she has been doing a phenomenal job and the lot of you are complete assholes for making me write all this up.



Okay, the server is on the expensive side. I thought to give NXT the same service I give my website clients and wanted to ensure security and bandwidth accommodation. It is $149 per month. I've just paid the second month for a total of $298. Carrying it through the year would be a total of $1490. $245.77 was spent on advertising. The out-of-pocket is growing, but really, the time spent is most significant and can't be easily measured. How much I continue depends on my inclination to continue to give to the community, I guess.

What did you get?

At the time of this writing 36,040 brand new visitors to the custom website (up to almost 5000 visits a day), 5,860 Facebook fans, 876 Tweets for 793 Twitter followers and 110 Google pluses with 26 people circling Nxt, some activity on Pinterest and some art. I've tried to stay relevant and current, engaging the community with a positive voice, answering questions and even eliminating spreaders of FUD (that felt good!).

I really want to continue helping spread the word and probably will to some extent or another. And, I'm not going to just shut the website down. I'm just raising concerns about taking this level of commitment into the future. My expectations that donations would pour in to cover my time and expenses aren't materializing. For disclosure, after I've gifted some of my initial investment I have @ 330,000 NXT. I'm not a founder or big stakeholder. Obviously I believe in NXT.  I'll trust you to be fair and continue to do my best as long as I can.

It's exciting to be a part of this emerging phenomenon! There are a huge pile of us that are working tirelessly and with passion in a number of capacities –code, development, infrastructure, marketing, etc. I appreciate each one of you! Thank you!

I invited you because of this, it was published even before optical's post Cheesy

there is no open bounty for graphic elements, we have only infographics (that reminds me I could ask someone about my NxtMyth infographic Cheesy ) , because if you look at the logo contest, there was also a huge number of great contestans. But still we can start to discuss about this topic, because this guy is really good and what is also important - active - https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=667 (+ we shouldn't forget about QTBC's designs). Then we're going to have a proposal by Damelon's friends and there is a possibility so THEY will lead us in this area. But they should provide a lot of materials then Smiley It's time for paying PRO marketing materials. It also means current T-shirts for Berlin will be extremely rare, if we choose a new branding design next month.

Now that I see QBTC mentioned: has payment for running nxtcrypto come up again?
Yesterday it was mentioned, but in all the commotion it was pushed to the background again?

Can she at least be reimbursed for costs? She's been instrumental in getting Nxt started and now it turns out she is running at a loss. That doesn't seem right.

What are the views on this? She runs Twitter, FB and nxtcrypto and has basically the largest access to users.

Just wanting to sound you people out.
I wrote it somewhere - we will get her (and pay) costs first and then we can decide about something like:

spend 10.000 for updating all websites / month

spend 10.000 for updating all social medias / month

- so QTBC could get for example 5.000 from the sites fund + 3.000 from the social media fund / month
