NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[EvilDave]

Couple of marketing projects just surfaced (as far as i can see) in the last couple of days:

I had a question surrounding the ROI for the charity event and not knowing who Blu Cantrell was in another thread, I wanted to address it here as well:

"I'd be happy to address it since this is one of my specializations. If you want to break mainstream news, you need to give writers a story. In our own Nxt bubble, it's easy to get frustrated about the lack of coverage we get when we send out news... but to be honest, that's just not how the world works. Dogecoin understands this intimately with their recent charity drives and news.  I've made the phone calls (my experience can be tracked through both Feathercoin and Peercoin) and it's always the same thing... they want something big to write about.

There's a reason professional poker focused so much on charity events as it fought to become more mainstream. The goodwill generated from events like this make life much easier for PR teams.  If this community decides to pass on it, that's fine.. but it's a mistake from an ROI perspective. It's not about the event, it's about everything around it.

As for Blue Cantrell, well, that's entirely different point. While I appreciate (and live) geek culture, mainstream news that covers mainstream audiences is exactly who I would like to target.

Check my history with Sunny King with Peercoin, I know what I'm talking about in this realm. Either way, I appreciate the consideration.
"

And CoinTropolis' earlier post with my reply:

Team,

We have a major opportunity with the charity to be the official sponsor:

"We can bill it as Nxt presents…,

Check out who we have on the bill:

songsoflove.org/LA

We can change the bitcoin Logo to Nxt."

Not only would we gain press before the event (which would open doors to a number of different writers), we would get media exposure at the event. I need to work out the details this weekend, but yeah... I'm pumped.  If Dogecoin can raise $30k for a bobsled team, I see no reason we can't raise $10k+.  

Blu Cantrell will be there... guys, this is a huge event.

Sorry for the lack of response so far, but u guys are kinda rushing in the door and announcing breathlessly that u have a great opportunity for us......we need to cover some basics first.


1) Does the NXT community want to throw cash out now on mainstream marketing? The clients are all good, but we are still a long way from being ready to attract and keep Joe Public on the NXT boat. Conferences seem to be a very good use of marketing right now, that and getting the tech up and running....

2) Do we want to be associated with this event anyway ? I know some NXT'ers are totally against charity marketing.
WTF is songsoflove.org all about ?

Give us more info, pls, start a debate, get a decision from the NXT community.

BTW. Blu Cantrell ? Cute, nice tunes, but not exactly A-list, eh?
or did I miss something in the last decade?

CoinTropolis: maybe u've gone thru this on one of the other forums, too lazy to chack right now, but could u address my ponts above?
Does the NXT community want this or.......?

and on to another marketing project:

Hello, guys!
I want to remind you about collecting funds for the motion graphic design.
We need funds to pay sound designer and to dictors. Then the work will be complete.
For now we collected 398 nxt and 10 ltc, but it's not enough to finish video.

Especially i appeal to stakeholders and to devteam.
I'm sure that video will be very good promo of the nxt.
Also we could make more videos about new clients, transparent  mining, asset exchange and other features of the nxt.
We should teach people. How else they will know about benefits of the nxt?
Don't  pass by. Who except you can support that project? If not you then nobody!

Had a look at the vid, it's ok, but still quite rough.
Again: put some more work into it, engage with the NXT community about it, put in requests for funds if u get a positive response.
U can't expect NXT , at this stage, to just throw large piles of cash at every mainstream marketing tool that comes along and asks for it.

Maybe you should post the amount of money that you need...

The cost of the good dictor ~300$ we need 2 at least
The cost of the good sound designer ~400$
so we need ~1000$
but if we want more videos then we need more

wow, just cool d13id, did you made this infographic yourself?
how much nxt do you need to finish the english version?

Not added yet, but u still could develop creation of a poll and vote casting. I'm going to add API calls tomorrow.

[Come-from-Beyond]

If anyone needs test coins, let me know. I'll send u 100k, but u'll be supposed to send testcoins to other guys. 100k is the only amount I have left.

Also, could anyone who trusts Klee start forging on the testnet?

[brooklynbtc]

Okay. Well, it could be handled in another way. With a link to a website where changes will be announced.

Relying on external sources is worse than relying on NXT itself. Maybe an alias could be better for that.

Why changing that data at all? If one issues an asset, IMHO the issuer must pay attention to a lot of things. So, the description will be one of them.

Yeah the description is pretty much the business plan and contract rolled in one.

If you issue "1oz .999 GOLD" it can not be changed to "1oz LEAD" or even "1oz .99 GOLD", because then you would be watering down the value.

But upon thinking about it, the Asset would need a website, with a prospectus, plans, goals, and reports for the users and prospective buyers.
 
Anon is planning on offering services as a Silver Bullion Gateway. If he created an IPO for his company, and received backing, then released shares, the shares would not be based on Silver price so much, they would be based on the amount of business he does, his reputation, and his cost of doing said business. The silver/NXT AE would be a SEPARATE asset, paired at market price. That ASSET description can not change. The value that buyers give to his asset, ie number of NXT vs 10oz Silver bars, will fluctuate, but the asset itself will remain 10oz Silver bars.


If he was EARNING 100NXT a day from the transactions, he could make plans to expand into GOLD or other precious metals, and therefore drive the value of AnonAsssetsInc upwards, and it would be important to know his business plans.

Real world example.

Barrel of Oil is an COMMODITY> 55gal drums. It has a set price ~ $110 lately right? Oil's price fluctuates on Supply and Demand.

EXXON is a COMPANY that drills oil. Exxon can't change the size, or function of OIL, it can only find more, process it more efficiently etc. Exxon's price fluctuates on earnings, profit, loss, future plans and general market principles.

AnonSilver10oz is a COMMODITY > 10oz bars. .999 pure, made by AnonMetalsInc
AnonMetalsInc is a COMPANY that makes, markets, sells and distributes precious metals, among which is AnonSilver10oz

10oz bars will never change their "Description"
Company could start making Frozen Yogurt, Diapers, or any other Assets. But the description would be the same.

EDIT
Do we need to create to AE classes? one commodity and one company?
Or is the commodity more akin to the colored coin of lore, and the company the DAC?

with a real account?

[igmaca]

Counterparty’s native currency, XCP, is the first major crypto-currency to be distributed by proof of burn, which is completely decentralized and trustless.

what is proof of burn?

Is this still 0.5.9 version or are you on 0.7 branch? (Version is now just "test")  - just wondering.

[redsn0w]

I'm interested  , can i prove it ?


Thanks

We have Nxters people for such jobs so you don't need any $s.

I'll try, send the testnet address to confirm im on the right one
Also, how risky to use 100K +?

I trust Klee 100%
