I am on it, already submitted it to few sites. I am also registered at prweb, but they want $99-499 for one news release, bastards Yes, but they want money, but they get it published to finance.yahoo.com and other sites Again I think it's worth it. I have contacted 20+ big sites already, but if these people can GUARANTEE that it'll be published on some of the biggest news sites in the world then it's worth it in my opinion. Should be paid straight from the fund. Salsacz is already in control of a marketing fund, so if we're all in agreement on it I don't think that's a problem? +100 |

The press release at the moment is one short page, focussing in the BPF and klee, with almost no information about NXT.Journalists are lazy bastards (or working to a tight deadline)so u can be sure that they won't bother doing any further research into NXT before posting a story that focusses exclusively on the BPF and maybe klee, with only a passing mention for NXT. I suggest that someone (not me, no time for next 3-4 days) expands the press release with lots of NXT info and maybe a little interview with klee, then we can start pushing it ourselves to news outlets, especially mainstream ones like the BBC and old-skool newspapers. If that doesn't work out, then we hand the improved press release over to the pros and open our wallets. This story doesn't have to run right now..... Talking of klee: tion to keep this ball rolling. We should ask the Cryptsy folks to document what was required to get NXT plugged into their system. Then we should turn right around to allwelder or some of the other Chinese NXT members and see that this info from Cryptsy gets communicated to BTX38.com in China. We need to be on both of these exchanges as soon as possible. It is the only way we are going to get exposure to a new pool of capital to buy NXT and get our exchange volume back up.
Good idea. Give them some bounty for it. I support this - a part of unclaimed funds should go as a bounty to cryptsy, btc38 and maybe btc-e (I hate these scammers but..). Let's move this shit forward, especially cryptsy (big volume) and btc38 (CNY/NXT). I suggest 100K nxt bounty. I vote that we don't. We have talented guys in NXT that have been helping with exchange implementation (opticalcarrier springs to mind, + others). If we spent the 100 kNXT bounty on financing these guys to set up an exchange implementation workgroup and get them to fully document their procedures, we can get a package together that will allow all exchanges to implement NXT without the technical problems that so many seem to be having. Helping, documenting, spreading the implementation info and providing support will pay off way better in the long run than simple bribery. Again, if providing tech help doesn't cut it, then we can try bribery. Don't forget, we just blew something like 2-3 BTC on MintPal and they then turned around and said: "Sorry , we don't understand NXT, how about some nice TeslaCoin instead? " |

AFAIK he is running a PR office. You should talk to him. he is using this site, it is little cheaper: http://marketersmedia.com/plans-and-pricing (so we can pay straight to them if we decide) |

If anyone wants to pm a Mintpal admin directly. Mintpal-Jay who posts on the Mintcoin board frequently is one of them. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=238724 |

I wondered what happened to NXT on Mintpal...
Thought they were going to add it today.
Why is there no dedicated, knowledgeable, person in the next community who handles all this exchange stuff?
For all I care: pay that person a ongoing bounty to handle this!

I say we offer them 20k Nxt for testing purposes along with the help of our devs. You could even tell Cryptsy that BTC38 and BTC-e are adding Nxt and vice versa. Tell them it was an easy implementation with the help of our devs. |

I think we would lose all credibility if we were being used by local government bodies. |

i hope ive made it clear that any exchange can consult with me for free on NRS/NXT design/operation for integration into their exchange. |

Does the NRS have plans for an auto-update feature in the future? So we don't get nodes a few versions behind the latest one?
Maybe like a pop-up or some scrolling text somewhere that states "an update is available" or something along those lines.

NXT could be made to seem very appealing to these types of organizations if presented in the right way.
I think we would lose all credibility if we were being used by local government bodies. I was thinking not in terms of direct use of the NXT currency, but by use of the asset exchange. Trade unions, and government bodies can by means of contract or legislation create demand for assets that they could generate on the AE. For example a union could negotiate into their contract that a portion of their pension be funded with an asset that they create, and any signatory contractor that employed any of that unions workers would be bound to invest in that asset. This would benefit the unions in the same way that the original block genesis of NXT benefited the stake holders. They would have control of the assets availability and thus the value of the asset. The contractor would not be at a disadvantage as they would have to pay the same amount out for the pension wether it were paid in FED. RESERVE notes or cryptos. The holders of the asset would gain from the increase in value of the asset as it were sold on the market, and could generate the asset for free and have control over its availability. It could work in a similar way for any body that could leverage a demand through contract or legislation. They wouldn't be endorsing the NXT currency directly, but would be forced to participate to a certain degree to use the AE. These types of groups may be easy to influence as they stand to profit with very little investment and could have direct control over the asset. Just a thought. |
