I found Mark Cuban's email for one of his companies AXStv. mcuban@axs.tvI'm sure he doesn't directly receive any of the emails, so we need to ask his executive assistant to forward the letter to Mark because we'd like to give him "the NXT best thing in cryptocurrency".

on a side note, Wall street tumbled at close today, and argentinian peso dropped through the floor. South America unease could spread pretty quickly. Time for a fair and decentralized currency that isnt controlled by the banks and Govts. Anyone know one? OOOHHH right.. guess who's nxt

We may be a bit early for him to be entirely impressed with NXT but we cannot let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity go by without making sure he knows his nxt = NXT

Why don't we use the 10M fund to send him 100k NXT? This is marketing and promotion. What would be the best info to send along with the 100k?
because that should be used for development Is that what was decided? just my opinion also not just development, we need a code audit and a whitepaper Honestly - Mark Cuban is Billionaire! Good for him - but trying to bribe him with 100k Nxt from the dev account is so wrong in so many ways. DON'T DO THAT!

I was under the impression that the 10M were to be used also for marketing and promotion.

Here's a draft of our letter to Mark.
Mark,
We saw your tweet that you're interested in the NXT generation of cryptocurrencies. We are the users and developers of a brand new cryptocurrency called "NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin". NXT uses brand new software. It’s not a fork of Bitcoin's source code. NXT is the first 100% Proof-of-Stake (PoS) currency. Unlike other currencies with PoS mining, NXT's PoS mining does not cause monetary inflation. Coins are earned solely by charging transaction fees. The total amount of NXT in circulation is 1 billion. NXT improves different features of Bitcoin, removes some disadvantages and resolves the environmental issue of wasting electricity to secure the network.
We would like to give you (some) NXT so you can participate in the NXT big thing in cryptocurrency. It's our hope in by giving you these NXT that you help us spread the word about NXT so others can also participate in this revolution.
You can read more about NXT at NxtCrypto.org, wiki.NxtCrypto.org and forums.NxtCrypto.org.
You can download NXT's software here (Link to NRS).
If you have questions please contact us at (contact).
Thank you,
The users and developers of the NXT generation of cryptocurrency

Yes, but this would be the totally wrong message - sort of medieval: Trying to give the big fish an extra sweet deal to pretty please condescend to utter the name ..
That is wrong strategy.
This kind of subservient pleading displays a severe lack of self confidence!!!!!
That is putting nxt into the position of a pathetic little petitioner.
NXT does not need this. Mark Cuban does not need this. Give him an account with 500 Nxt for a test drive, just like anybody else.
NXT can convince by its technical superiority, we don't need to beg and whimper for attention, we have to make nxt known with self confidence!!!

The draft looks okay - but I would not be giving him more than a "token" amount of Nxt (say 1K at the most). The guy is rich so if he has any real interest he would simply buy on an exchange and then promote it to easily double his money so a token amount should suffice. Don't be so "desperate" to "look desperate" guys.

like the draft. - Pleas consider my argument about the amount and the strategic aspect. Doens't look good if nxt distractors and enemies can point to 'oh LOOK, they gave the big guy 100k, so they have to bribe him .. not so sure about how good their thing is , or WHAT??'

Don't be so "desperate" to "look desperate" guys. My sentiment exactly. Idea is great - choosing wrong amount can backfire badly! consider toads like frictionless - we don't want to deliver such creatures any ammo...

Yeah, right. Actually there is a true possibility for advertising straight in the heart of crypto maniacs. Paid ads in one (unnammed ) weekly show. We would need 2,5x more NXT (than you were here speaking about) for 3 months for that.

Don't offer Mark Cuban free Nxt, but do offer to answer any questions for him and offer technical assistance if he'd like to purchase some. Also I think these points should be added to the draft (if true): Guys,
Don't worry - the big difference I have seen between Nxt and the others is that:
i) It *doesn't* have VC capital backing.
ii) It *doesn't* have "slick sales guys*.
iii) It *does* have smart devs and an increasing following.
iv) It *is* delivering its promises (more or less) on time.
There will always be "the next* conference - stick to what you're doing well - people are watching this space with interest.

Mark Cuban would not invest in NXT in its current state. I think those funds would be put to better use in development.

These are good points. We are a grassroots movement with the aim of empowering people.

People here are idiots. Of course its worth sending this guy some NXT with a full description of the project. You only need to send 1000 or less for him to see how it works. That many followers and someone who is reported in financial pages is a damn better seed marketing investment than 99% of the FB crap ideas on here.
Anyway, I have almost no NXT but i'll send 100NXT if that all you need to show him the system just a complimentary amount for him to check the system. Asking him to wade through buying NXT from BTC on some exchange you will proabably already lose him in terms of being a high profile supporter/investor of NXT. People are beyond stingy without any understanding of how the real world works. The guy is actually asking to know about what is being done with NXT, why the hell would you go out of your way to be antisocial. He's just a guy who wants to know about NXT.....
Honestly though a full explanation and include the info graphic someone made here is all you need, I wouldn't give him a crappy client we are using at the moment or he might see it as not user friendly for the masses to invest or promote.

The goal behind contacting Mark is to inform him about NXT. Hopefully once he knows about NXT, he will let others know about NXT. This is no different than me or you telling our friends about NXT. Mark just has broader exposure. The goal is to empower individuals. I give NXT to my friends all the time. I'd be willing to give Mark some NXT as a friendly gesture.
