Topic: Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt forum now moved to nxtforums.org - page 62. (Read 78048 times)

@salsacz: I am ready to transfer 100K to your pool, you already stablished your high determination for helping Nxt become a huge success.
Please one of you, salsacz or utopianfuture provide a Nxt account here for me to release the entire 100K.
You will have the entire control and right to decide where to spend them, but I expect minimum two important medias to cover nxt news through your attempts backed by this fund before end of March (zerohedge, wallstreet, coindesk, btcmagazine, genesisblock..) and a report on them being fulfilled with the links included.

Trying CNN , BBC and other very big news coverage is excellent but not necessary for this funding plan, as I know they might be harder and need more Nxt development stages to pass on before getting their attention.

How looks my Nxtmyths paper
- full of mess, but I can show this:


then I am coworking with Ricky on the infographics about Nxt transactions (vs. Bitcoins) (he will update my texts here:
http://i.imgur.com/IhcjIhi.jpg

and this is my current plan what to deal wit the unclaimed 2-3 millions (or donations from any other stakeholder)

60 articles, 50 infographics, conferences fees, tournaments, videos, translations....


- I am willing to work on these things 12 hours/day, 6 days/week

Someone suggested a creation of the PR Commitee and many people voted for me to lead it, here is my proposal, about people, who might be there. These people would have to agree on using money from the table in the picture.

Here is the report from today, I prepared a list of people to contact + a list of some of their articles. Now we know what topics we can write about and where to send them:

Dear bybitcoin,
we discussed it with utopianfuture, I would lead the campaign for your bounty (with cooperation with others), here are the 2 week / 2 month plans in short version:

   A) 15.-28.2.2014: Get existing and new:
   1. Articles (!) (with uniquehorn)
   2. Infographics (!) (salsacz)
   3. Videos (salsacz)
   4. Scientific Papers (utopiafuture+salsacz)
   5. Reviews (!) (community, salsacz)
   
   - Use it all for:
   
   B) Only if we have solid client (it could be 30 January), then:
   1. Better Swarm group - email alert  by google form + recruiting in all forums (nifty, salsa) (22.1.+)
      a. Reddit voting
      b. Youtube comments
      c. Articles in magazines comments
      d. Famous Facebook pages comments
   2. Searching for / Contacting crypto celebrities (salsacz, others) (30.1.+)
   3. Searching for / Contacting bloggers, journalists, counference speakers (salsacz, others) (30.1.+)
   4. Group brainstorming about viral videos and campaigns (18.1.+) (salsacz)
      a. Viral campaign about expensive Bitcoin and cheap Nxt network
      b. Study viral marketing to get to the CNN..
   5. Looking for new online tournaments for Nxt - contacting people (18.1.+) (salsacz)

If we had PR commitee funds:
6. Giveaway: 200x?? NXT for people sharing Infographics, videos, articles  on Facebook, twitter, forums and vote in Reddit (salsacz) (February) (no new accounts, proof link/screenshot, depends on number of followers, filled tasks)

some quick ideas

wanna... buy some Nxt T-Shirt by NXT? http://nxtbay.com/

I get it but I understood that you are in charge of allocating the time of Come-from-Beyond so he needed your approval.

In turned out that the community is very enthusiastic with this project and some people provided the help needed so you and CfB don't need to bother with it.

Thanks for the link and a big "thank you" for the whole thread!

Ron Finberg: Digital Currencies 2.0: Meet NXT, the ‘Next’ Ripple (Digital Currency Magnates)
feel free to add any comments on that site

@salsacz,
could you please add the Chinese websit for Nxt:www.nxts.org in your original post,
Thanks.

This is good, and if he ends up needing additional API calls, I will certainly work on adding them. But as a core developer I don't have the time to get personally involved in the integration of other services with Nxt, so somebody else will have to volunteer if Bit777 needs help getting started with it.

In general it should be the community that decides what projects are important, I don't see why such business and marketing decisions should be referred to me.

look at google doc in my signature of from the OP "List of Nxt websites"

hi dudes! help me please to find who created facebook and twitter nxtcrypto accaunt

There is a Bitcoin Meetup in London coming up next week on January 21:

http://www.meetup.com/London-bitcoin-me ... 159181392/

We need to get a few Nxters there to promote and educate people on Nxt.

There is a lot more than 8 results here: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22bitcoin+descendant+nxt+features%22&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1CHMO_en-GBAU536AU536&espv=210&es_sm=93&ei=qpnUUsCgE6eziAed84HADA&start=0&sa=N&filter=0&biw=1511&bih=741&dpr=0.9

.

That all sounds fine - when I have time I can send out a press release and be paid what the NXT community thinks it's worth.

EDIT: I could do a lot more with the full 100K - but I respect the community's decision.

I will just have to buy even more NXT 

Bit777 told me that he is very interested about adding NXT to his casino.
Imagine the result : it will show everywhere on this forum and some specialised site through banners like I have on my signature.
We have to push the devs to support this project though. I told CfB about it but he said that it is up to Jean-Luc to decide.

Okay I can release the entire 100K to you, so you can handle the entire process with salsacz and whoever else that might assist.
But I ll need a report at the end of each week. Also I do not care much about numbers: our interest is to get the nxt word to the main crypto and/or finance media sites as wallstreet, zerohedge, coindesk, bitcoinmagazine and genesis block...

Furthermore I offered the 100K fund to psybits again, because there were a series of headaches between us regarding funding his campaign.
As I stressed before, his pms I have saved and can present to the public to prove I did not show any coldness but exactness and accountability regarding his payments offer... still I offered him again here, to show my seriousness to help the press campaign.

But yes it is much better if I release the 100K fund to utopianfuture and he+ salsacz and whoever else that helps (including psybits) can gain from that fund and any extra donation that may come from other donors.
