I would like to see Nxt becoming a movement. A revolution that starts with the people.
Right now we are mainly going for the crypto investors. That's necessary and all good, but my belief is, that most crypto investors couldn't care less about no revolution. They analyze Nxt and hope for it to get adopted mainstream for one reason - price will go up.
I wish them all the best of luck. But to be honest - and it might be because I'm a shitty trader - I couldn't care less about the price. I care for the features, the network, people running clients and nodes, people developing it all and I want everyone to see, use, and spread it. I want that revolution!
We must surely tell the crypto community and all investors out there that we are better than any altcoin or soon to be launched 2. gen. crypto. That effort is invaluable to Nxt, and we all back it up. But still, without real users we risk to be mistaken for being nothing but some clever code and a vehicle of investment. What the mainstream press wrote about BTC last year was mostly about bubbles, a commodity, risky investments. Because BTC had not been put to proper use yet. I believe, that to keep moving as fast forward as we do now and to avoid suffering the same destiny, Nxt should do it differently.
The idea of the movement could turn into a great sales point, imho. Join a worldwide community who wants to change the world to a better place. They have the long awaited tool, and the tool is Nxt. Go see for yourself. Let me tell you this:
Your parents will NOT understand! You should convince them, because you - and the network of Nxters to whom you belong - are right about this one. You don't pay large fees,
your parents do. You earn interest by forging,
your parents don't get a dime from their fiat savings account. You are on top of the privacy-game,
you parents still babble about the NSA.
Your parents worry about the threat to copyright and patent laws - you tip people, and you get tips in return for what you create. Shouldn't the patented cure to AIDS be uploaded to the blockchain for all to see? Of course it should. This is just the beginning. The world is at a tipping point, and we are here to push it over, because the 1% will not.
I would like to add this entry to the marketing plan. I would rather spend money on promoting Nxt in a youth magazine than on LTB. Reason? To create news. If we can push stories to the media about a NXT Movement spreading around the globe, reporters will have to dig into Nxt. Then they learn about PoS. Transparent mining. Solar cells and raspi. Alias and decentralized exchange. Even crypto media may realize that they have overslept, giving tons of space to bitcoin addons and altcoins while paying too little attention to Nxt.
What I create comes from me. If it doesn't, I don't do it well enough. That's how I function.
So when I am setting up nxter.org, I am aiming to realize what I described above, which is - of course - just a want and a vision right now.
NXTer.org will serve as an article base and a magazine. Newsletter included.
This weekend I will set up a "Writers Room" on nxter.org. Chat enabled.
This is for the "Newsletter Crew"
- and of course anybody else interested in contributing is welcome to join in!
I have a meeting with a graphic designer, who will work on logo and flyers.
I have set up a meeting with the chief editor of a Danish magazine in order to get general advice.
I hate writing budgets. I'll write a budget and my thoughts on project structure too.
A certain income must be generated in the long term, and will be paid out equally to the people involved.
I believe realizing the ideas above will give the "human face" to Nxt, that I agree with Damelon about.
We won't go out all too techy, but link to details. Analysis of code goes elsewhere. Analysis of Nxt as a solution to problems in the world, and pushing Nxt as a movement and a revolutionary tool goes here. Will you add this to the "decentralized effort to promote Nxt"-list, Salsacz?
I hope it fits in.
And I hope that you can use the idea and the site in the overall marketing effort. Some articles should fit. What's your take on this?
