FYI, some interesting reader comments appear on the Google+ thread about this article.

Matonis! Smiley Mind doing a Q&A session sometime? Would love to see an IAMA with you over at reddit.

A few quick questions, if you have the time:

  • Are you a salaried journalist at Forbes, or is it more like they host your blog?
  • Would you still be doing this awesome work if Forbes wasn't interested in hosting it?
  • You were previously the CEO of Hushmail, are you eager to plunge back into the business world?
  • Is this your way of doing research before jumping into the business side of things?
  • What do you do outside of covering e-currency and Bitcoin?

Oh, and thanks for your always passionate, intelligent and interesting write-ups!

Cheers,
-elux

Here is a possible starting point:  Categorize all investments based on APR%
(...)
Categorize by rate of yearly return.  The scams will categorize themselves.

1168  Economy / Speculation / Re: $12!!!!!! on: August 09, 2012, 02:35:29 PM

Now the high is down to $11.98998, sooo close!


I sold a bunch at 11.95, and some at 11.97.
Bought back the next minute around 11.60.

My coins were intact after trading resumed.

Current depth to 33.00000 is 11280 BTC.
Trading today could go very well or very badly.

Asks disappeared, price shot to $12.888. Trading promptly stopped.

Never ever ever buy "cancer drugs" (in this case, a common household spice) off the internet.

Whoa, great constructive criticisms thank you very much, these are all great I will keep them in mind for the next pod cast.


No problem. Smiley

Here is the first podcast skip to 60 seconds in to start hearing talking.

Cool music. Quite enjoyable production. This could be good. Smiley

I really like the smooth low volume background music while you talk. It gives a pulse and a beat to the podcast.

Make a list of the topics you're going to cover. Announce the list of topics at the start of the podcast.
You announce each topic as you're about to start it. This is good. Keep it up, stick to it like glue.

Next up: "Open Transactions." -> "Allright that was open transactions."
Next up: "Gavin Andresen has a proposal for credits for testing changes to the Bitcoin Client."
Next up: "The London Bitcoin Conference."

Neat, but make this list known at the very start of the episode, preferably before the first musical segment to catch the listeners attention.
Would be good if you announce the name of the artist and the song you're about to play in advance, like, you know, on radio.

Clear your voice in advance, drink a hot cup of tea and warm up your vocal cords, try to avoid coughing in the mic several times every minute.
(When you need to cough, mute the mic, cough, unmute.  Live radio always has a cough button. For good reason.)

You have a really nice smooth voice, but you could be more focused and "less laid back".
Make an effort to sound like what you are saying is important, and it will sound like it is.

Project your voice, think of a radio host, try to speak more like a radio host,
do a quick dry run, warm up mentally. Get in the zone before you go live.

Keep a fixed distance to the mic, lean more towards the mic perhaps.

Perhaps record each session in several segments, if this doesn't mess with the music.
You could cut and paste the segments together, add music in post production.

This way you can do a retake if you stumble or mumble or stop.
--> Less... like... uhms, and uhhhs... and uhh.... small pauses.

Finally, do a recap / outtro / see you next time at the end.

That was pretty much everything, and this is quickly starting to sound too much like actual work so I'll be sure to stop here.

Really promising start. I'm looking forward to the next episode! Yay! Go you! Smiley

Hi guys, I'm interested in investing 250btc straight into BT&S
some might snicker at you for using the term "investing" for that.

Re: Bitcoin Radio? Bitcoin news daily?

Why is this in off-topic? We need something exactly like OnlyOneTV: The Bitcoin Show, hosted by anyone other than Bruce Wagner.

(Bitcoin needs a new rock star evangelist and go-to guy for the media who does not also happen to be a convicted conman.)

The Bitcoin Show was, for all its flaws, a decent way to cover recent developments in the Bitcoin world,
and a brilliant way for developers to promote new or upcoming services in detail.

Perhaps BitTalk Media could throw a decent mic and HD webcam at one of their guys?
Do weekly, tightly focused, scripted, unedited half hour fireside video chats with the right people.

Probably one of the better ways to strategically position yourself to be the guy Wired or CNN calls the next time something crazy happens in Bitcoin and they need a couple of statements. I mean, if it worked for Bruce, it could work for... You?   Cheesy

P.S. Porn of Issue #2

Amazingly, you weren't kidding... Barnes and Noble! Congratulations! Grin

Now, this is probably not the right place to point this out, but I think the fat yellow pixelfont used in the magazine logo is ugly and retro in a bad way. Using yellow text makes for really bad contrast on glossy, whiteish background, this could make it hard to read in a brightly lit store. I really like your project and wish you all the best, but the magazine covers for issues #1 and #2 look like amateur work.

The white-on-black web logo would be better, in my humble, unprofessional opinion.

For comparison: http://bitcoinmagazine.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Press_release_logo.jpg

These things will start to matter once you target retailers like B&N, with audiences outside the always forgiving and sweet Bitcoin community. Smiley

Is there a Bitcoin Magazine feedback thread somewhere, where this comment would be more appropriate?
