+1 for the reference, we should add that somewhere  

Replying a bit late to make sure, but as of yet mid September is a go! Also, very informative threads and ideas!
BTW, there's no special funding from the forum for this.

Welcome! Sounds awesome, having subtitles, especially for the more educative content would be helpful.

As @Rizzrack said, there's a suggested theme but feel free to go with your instinct as well.

UPDATE: Fixed a typo in the prizes.

It's not a one-man video crew. Guess we now have one less excuse if we miss the mid-September launch 

Thanks for the feedback and ideas for the contest. @SFR10 brought some valid points, but since we have 0 graphics so far and being a community channel IMO it would be pretty awesome to have at least one collaborating artist to help out. We're going to need more than a logo and a banner.  We should be able to do our own thumbnails for now. Plus, we don't have a graphics department 

That being said, the contest has now officially started, posted it on Discord and Twiter as well: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5354384

Welcome to the first BitcoinTalkShow graphics contest!

The BitcoinTalkShow is an upcoming Youtube channel focused around Bitcointalk, more about it here: Bitcointalk Youtube channel - what would you like to see?
The show needs some graphics, current priority is a logo and a banner for Youtube and other social media.
And it would be awesome to have the community involved to get them made!

The proposed theme would be combining these two:
- BitcoinTalk inspired (the banner could draw some inspiration from the forum's header layout and color scheme);
- Retrofuture: think of the Back to the Future / Tron universe, bright colors and neon lights.

But feel free to implement your own ideas!

General rules and structure:
- The contest has two categories: Logo and Banner art.
- Participating in just one category is allowed and multiple submissions should be ok.
- Sizes and ratios should fit Youtube requirements and content should follow YouTube Community Guidelines.
- Copying the design from somewhere else / trying to cheat the contest could get you disqualified.
- The winner(s) will be chosen by measuring things like public feedback and what we find more appropiate for this Youtube project.
- Late submissions, before announcing the winner(s), are not guaranteed consideration.
- You could submit lower quality/resolution images, however you will have to provide high quality ones if you win.  

Contest prizes:
Logo: 3.9 mBTC
Banner 3.2 mBTC
And possible bonuses!

Contest starts now and the ending date is August 25 2021, 23:59 GMT.
Winner(s) will be revealed by August 28 2021.

Bonus perks for participating:
We might collaborate for further graphics and artwork in the future.
Get a shoutout in a future video about this contest.
There could also be some surprise prizes in this contest!

Feel free to share this contest!
Good luck everyone and we're really excited to see what you come up with!

Thank you and appreciate the help! The goal is to have content the community will be proud of, but
I think it's a bit early to have a conversation about sponsors. However, if any point there will any sponsors, forum's ad policy will probably be copied over.

The teaser and artwork should be ready this month, so the links and behind the scenes and teasers will go live before the first video. Get some momentum going.
PM sent! This is what the community aspect is about, looking forward to hearing you music and hopefully we'd be able to add it in /me raises hand for custom theme music in the future!

Yes!  

We've been pedaling at it like wild foxes!  
But seriously, doing justice to BitcoinTalk is no small feat! And tried to find a balance between:

• this is a cool idea, hope someone will do it but might thing about doing it someday
• ok let's do it, but it's gotta be reasonably perfect, with the huge risk of nothing actually being done
• it's not going to be perfect, but someone has to do it!

Ultimately, the power is in each of you to decide and make your own minds if you like it or don't. Bitcoin is empowering, right?

Good points and agree! I think most of the popular crypto content out there gravitates around price talk and maybe some projects being advertised, while at the opposite side you have technical/educational videos, and if given the opportunity I'd spend my time watching the later.
However, I think there's a lack of content regarding the culture, the history and here BitcoinTalk deserves the spotlight! Adding some entertainment along the way of course.
The charity idea is also something I'd really look forward to.

Yeah, that's definitely a risk. What about having some alternatives as well, some opininions regarding https://d.tube and others would be nice.

A few updates:
First filming day was a few days ago. Hopefully it won't be the only filming day, looking forward to adding more of the cool ideas in! 
We're also working on the channel's artwork. We'll likely need more materials so if you know any crypto artists that would feel inspired by the idea, point them here!
After we get a teaser and basic graphics done, the URLs will go public.

Thank you everyone again!

Do you see the option to wear the Copper membership here? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote
Is the transaction confirmed?
PS: I whitelisted you as well and deleted the off-topic post.

Thank you! A bigger, higher quality one is in the works. Guides as well, in the future.

Both of your usernames were included actually! Gave @Fillippone's channel a shoutout, thanks! Also, @OgNasty, funny that I kinda said something about that, no spoilers tho! 

Well in this case, got some good news and some bad news. In short, you're probably going to hear the word smash in one of the videos. Not actually a fan of the cookie cutter pattern as you put it and as @Welsh said is just some industry standard. However I enjoy creative twists to it, even mocking it.
In a way, what I thought would be cool, is to see content about something close and dear to us in a way that you'd expect to see from a more established mainstream channel. Is it a good idea, will we pull it off or fail to make this relatable, informative and also funny? I don't know yet, it's an experiment. Format and content are in flux and in the future they might adapt and maybe expand.

Yes.

This has been discussed!

Awesome, thank you!

Remembered seeing this thread yesterday and just in time apparently.

Wanted one of your plates for some time! Let's get all of them fired up:

I feel like there a place for Bitcoin themed content with high production value . Something that's community oriented, without being endorsed by some big company/products or already big channels doing a Bitcoin/cryptocurrency video every now and then. And something that's not just talking about price speculation!
For starters: Imagine LinusTechTips and the theme would be BitcoinTalk instead of tech reviews.


Bitcoin game shows! That's a cool idea, though we need to either create a format of our own, or... find an open licensed format? Not sure if those exist, for any popular shows.
Speaking of games, here's an idea, do some videos while playing games with a crypto twist. Got the idea from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5351369

Also, on another note: For an upcoming video segment that's going to be filmed tomorrow (surprise!), we're going to read out loud a list of usernames we've all probably read in our inside voice wrong the whole time!
Got any ideas? Should we start another thread for this?

The idea and graphics are cool, the point and click genre is suiting. But given the theme,my input here is that I hope there's going to be references to the Barber's Paradox.

Great info from everyone  so far thank you!
Here's the current plan and progress:
Hired a company to film and edit. Production value aimed: very high!
First filming day will be really soon, so the first few episodes will be prerecorded and released when ready.
This whole thing an experiment, so content and format will likely evolve over time, as long as there's interest for it.
Likely themes for the first few episodes feature the BitcoinTalk Anniversary, Community Awards 2020, etc.
In time we'll start doing educational material as well, such as forum guides and news bits. Also interviews!

Good one! Had a list already and that's for sure a video that I'd enjoy. Yeah, totally not a one man job, as discussed above.

I agree that most people identify as visual learners, some tend to disagree, here's a recent clip from Veritasium about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhgwIhB58PA
Forum guides is something definitely worth looking into, but not immediately interesting for lots of people. If the channel grows and we have an influx of people coming from Youtube then some tutorials would come in handy IMO.
As for impartiality, I wouldn't associate myself with such an endeavour if I felt it was biased. It needs to be impartial and transparent.

Here's an example: https://twitter.com/lucianorocha89/status/1415308069525929986
The user didn't seem to reply yet, however maybe they could ask for whitelisting @Bitcointalk, could be useful for some?

Around 8'', so... more like 7''.
Going to do a bigger one, likely with more detail.

Will try to reply to the newer posts a bit later. Thank you everyone for your input so far!

I get what you're saying regarding the Youtube thing. I recently started interacting over at Twitter and was surprised just how many people apparently really into crypto (judging by their avatar, description and tweets) were oblivious to BitcoinTalk!


It's something that I recently brought up to theymos. Not for marketing anything, but IMO it should be used for more than to Just inform people of outages. Plus, it would help bring some new information about this place out there.

FWIW,  I see the Bitcointalk Youtube channel just as official as the Discord server - don't like slapping official on things anyway.

That would be cool! 
A podcast would probably catch on more easily than other formats, since they're really popular right now. It's also easier to produce after the set-up is done. But would it be worth having yet another crypto podcast?

Thank you! It was a quick job, the quality could definitely be better.
Also, great list of popular/not very popular!

I like the ideas so far, and IMO the channel wouldn't need to settle on just ONE format. As we grow, more of these ideas could be realized. Just need to figure out a good starting point. One that could be forgiving enough as we learn how to create this type of content.

Interviews would be cool. I agree with you and @Welsh that some might be reluctant in participating, but it's not like we have to churn an interview every week, so should be fine.
Weekly awards for best and worst posts is good idea! Could be added as a segment to a weekly video, like the last part of the video would be about that.

That's taking the awards thing to a whole(some!) other level!
I like the idea! But more funding would be needed and some good people/causes to invest in.

I find this approach interesting. Though more oriented to an news/article outlet, rather than video format, right? Which is fine and like to work on that sometime if it is of interest to the community.

NEW EPISODE JUST AIRED: https://youtu.be/ZSKimRE6qmY


It's been a while since theymos suggested a Youtube channel for Bitcointalk. The general sentiment seemed that it would be cool to have one. And I agree!

So let's say someone would start filming tomorrow. What type of content/themes would you like to see?
Things that you'd like to watch, whether you're a grumpy Bitcointalk veteran or just hearing out about our wonderful community.


Was tinkering around and printed/painted that. Could we make it a thing please?
