PS: Is anyone going to do PR and other things on the 3rd of Jan? Jean-Luc will publish the source code, I will publish info regarding the bounties for code review. Someone should call girls and bring some beer.
We should enumerate 3, 4 fundamental bullet points -- layman's terms -- differentiating NXT from BTC. Also differentiating NXT from the 999+ other alts.
Maybe I'm completely misreading the crowd here, but we seem to skew heavily tech/geek. Many popular/heavy traffic political news sites will post the occasional bitcoin headline grabber but not follow the actual 'issues' that NXT will address. If these editors grokked the issues, we could receive heavy coverage.
NXT as a sovereign tool to free us from fiat's grasp. Sounds overblown, but it's true. This issue -- 'sovereign entity' vs. 'corrupt fiat system' could gain traction quickly.
I'm thinking places like reason.com, libertyunbound.com, etc.
One site that is heavily trafficked that we would have a good chance of getting a mention is instapundit.com, a libertarian/law/general news aggregate site that promotes 'small guy' issues quite a bit. We just need a cogent introduction and a portal for these editors to visit.
The professor/lawyer/writer that runs instapundit is Glenn Reynolds -- he recently wrote a book called
An Army of Davids (alluding to David vs. Goliath). This guy understands technology, but also understands larger issues (i.e., the Ukrainian protesters sandwiched between the EU and Putin.
We really need to get info to guys like Glenn. NXT can be mentioned alongside tech like RasPi... it can also be mentioned alongside austerity measures, quantitative easing, protests, etc. We need to think big.
Think outside the blockchain.
