Topic: Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt forum now moved to nxtforums.org - page 51. (Read 78026 times)

you should share your little intro chimes with him.

Excellent!

My friend Leon Fu will be at the Texas Bitcoin Conference on March 5-6, 2014.  I will try to make it also if my work does not get in the way.

We are the guys in this "what is nextcoin?" video.

If you guys have any suggestions for what we can do to promote nxt let us know.

Leon is a iOS programmer and has no experience in sales/marketing like I do so he is limited to what he can do.

If I make it there, I'm pretty much open to do whatever.... the downside, is that I'm not technically savvy nor a coder like Leon so I'm limited to what I can say technically.

If I had more technical knowledge of nxt like i do with btc, I'd sign up to be a speaker myself.

Any suggestions are welcome.  If we can do it, we will....

Hello all,

Based on the discussions today in the main thread, and here, I've got two updated "Nxt Minute" bits.  I've based the text on the "most-optimized" one thus far, and have taken a stab at a more conversational tone.

Links:

Nxt Minute #1 (the general intro):  https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute-0001
Nxt Minute #2:  https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute-0002

If you are available, I'd like to interview you on skype or phone on some of the features of nxt and use it in my future videos as well as transcribe it into articles that other folks can translate to chinese, dutch, etc.

My friend Leon Fu and I already did the "What is Nextcoin?" video which is the #1 video that shows up when people search for "What is nextcoin?" on google. 

I know I can replicate this process again if I understood more of the technical details of nxt.

I'm not a coder but if u take a minute to explain each feature to me (even if u don't want to be in the video), i can re-explain it back in non-technical terms for other non technical people to understand.

The only way to get more exposure to nxt is thru video and education. the more people get educated about nxt, the more they would be willing to put their btc into nxt.

I didn't realize he co-owns bitcoinmagazine. Bummer. Still, worth a shot, in the interest of healthy competition!

Anon, I respect what you write about Nxt so much. I hope you'll continue to write material that can be used to educate and recruit new Nxters. Here's a proposal that I hope you'll seriously consider: how about writing an article for the bitcoinmagazine website about Nxt, in the spirit of this Ethereum article:

http://bitcoinmagazine.com/9671/ethereum-next-generation-cryptocurrency-decentralized-application-platform/

I think Nxt needs a presence on this website to compete with the publicity Etherium is getting from them, and few could pull it off as well as you. I suggest that this effort be funded by the community marketing funds.

Salsacz, what do you think?

I am not good at this, but:

What you probably don't know about Nxt? There is no corporation or public leader. This is a currency developed and marketed by people like you and me. All changes in the code need democratic voting.
Did you miss on 61 days long IPO for Nxt? You can still earn Nxt by writing articles about Nxt, making infographics or videos! Come to the mynxt.com and join our boards!

Ok so I'm not getting enough support from the community for it to be worth my time to continue working on this. So ill just post it here and you guys can do w/e you like with it. or nothing with it. w/e i wash my hands.

*insert intro* Written from the ground up with brand new source code, nxt is the first truely second generation crypto. By melding short term predictibility with longer term uncertanty, nxt's 100% proof of stake security model opens the flood gates for a torrent of breakthrough innovations. The ability to predict future transaction processors allows those processors to build trust within the community. This trust can be leveraged by merchants to acheve instantly secure transactions or by customers to acheve visa level transaction volumes. Nxt's 100% proof of stake security model eliminates many of the costs associated with bitcoin blockchain security. Costs presently born by the savers in the form of inflation. Finally, unlike bitcoin with its limited time block subsidy, there is no arbitrarily selected date far off in the future where nxt's security model will be put to a final test, if nxt works now, it will work always. *insert conclusion*

Here's my take on the one minute spot, using joefox's example as inspiration, and trying to take into consideration all the feedback that was given on the big thread:

Nxt LTB Spot, Episode 1: https://soundcloud.com/bithic/nxtltbspot-ep1

Please give feedback on the content as well as my reading. Criticisms welcome, my ego is not wrapped up in this. I'm not trying to compete to be the voice, just putting forward an idea.

Danke für deine Übersetzung in so kurze Zeit. Es sollte "bald" veröffentlicht werden.

The bounty was sent

Unless I missed it, we could really use a forum thread somewhere for discussion of wiki translation work and reports for wiki debugging. It would save time, particularly for Joefox.

It is nice of you I also sent you a bounty from Klee (10.000 for now). So bring us ... at least million Chinese rich people. Thanks  

nice article by Leon Pick:
http://www.dcmagnates.com/the-next-crypto-to-rally-nextcoin-showing-bullish-signs/

Bounty on a new topic:

It would be nice if anyone wrote about: - Nxt and its Decentralized P2P exchanges with mixing services = totally untraceable, anonymous and uncontrolled by any government.
- the sooner the better

Help Nxt by writing Articles

Is here anyone, who would write excellent and long articles about:

- 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

- 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?)

- 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)

You can make reservations on these articles.


Shorter articles/essays:

- Why should you invest in Nxt? (/Why should you invest in Nxt long term?)

- 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. 1200 pages in Bitcointalk


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?


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

I've been talking with him. It is clear that he hates JAVA more than anything but if we can provide him an alternative client (best would be C++) he may consider it.

jackpot for nxt

Wow, I hope he adds customer service from this sites trusted members or something. Its sort of his fault, But know he going to maybe go through the same process as before.

REalsolid will not add NXT to mcxNOW because the client is in JAVA.
No way he add it for now.

It's been down because realsolid couldn't handle the success of his site. He refused any help because he has a trust problem with people. He was trying to manage everything himself : development, support, promotion, ... He had a sort of nervous breakdown and suspended all trades on mcxnow. He claimed that he couldn't manage the site and develop the news functions at the same time so he has been developing for few months until now. We don't know exactly what's the new stuff. He was talking about a game, a sort of pokemon game with fighters and betting but it's still not available and I don't have any update about it.
