Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt forum now moved to nxtforums.org

[salsacz]

I know, it is a good training. We are watching our articles so we can react and add comments there. I am using NxtMyths texts for responses, then Damelon wisely responds too... and others. We just need to calm Uniqueorn a little bit

Really, even IF the other guy turns out to be a f*cktard, the thing to do is to shut up and close the screen.
Responding in kind is not the way to go, at least if you are there to promote or explain Nxt.
If otherwise, always say it's your own opinion, otherwise people WILL use it against us.

Some people are just dying to get you angry and using it as a weapon. It's such a tried and tested tactic, we are bound to encounter it.

Also, that one hour of reddit and just one link to my site got tons of hits from reddit.

Even a simple reply can get a reaction behind the scenes that we don't see directly.

People, also DOGE people, áre very interested. Some probably will never say so on DOGE reddit, because of Peer pressure.

Excellent!

you should share your little intro chimes with him.

I did, joefox uses my open and close in the second one, and will use it in all the subsequent ones, but the first one needed a slightly different opening to introduce the whole thing.

Or were you referring to the music? I used The Arrival by General Fuzz: http://www.generalfuzz.net/tunes.php
NxtChg commented that it sounds like a viagra commercial though, and I think he has a point. joefox's music is a decent neutral background for presenting news, and is enough to create a recognizable atmosphere for the segment.

I plan to use General Fuzz in the full podcast but not in the 1-minute bits because I can't properly give credit (the music I use in the 1-min bits is royalty-free and paid for). I'd be happy to compensate a bit for using Fuzz in the full 'cast!

Hi everyone.

How about these for a couple of proofs of concept?  Two one-minute spots I recorded this evening:

General Nxt intro: https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute-0001
Nxt minute: https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute_0002

I welcome feedback.

These sound great and this is an excellent project!

Hello all,

Based on the discussions today in the main thread, and here, I've got two updated "Nxt Minute" bits.  I've based the text on the "most-optimized" one thus far, and have taken a stab at a more conversational tone.

Links:

Nxt Minute #1 (the general intro):  https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute-0001
Nxt Minute #2:  https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute-0002

Yup, that sounds like a winner. I think you´ve got it nailed.

I found it handy to reduce the volume of the music in the center of the listening field by 3 dB. This allows the music to be a little louder while leaving lots of room for the voiceover. I can send you the modified file, or you can do it yourself in your DAW. I use Reaper (free to download), and it's really easy to do in Reaper: right-click on the pan control for the track, override the default pan-law and choose -3dB.

A friend of me asks if there is a bounty for making a Turkish website about NXT.

I couldn't answer him. Can you help me with an answer?

Thanks.

General question about our campaign: how are we going to "work" the release of nexern's client? Tbh I hardly know anything about it...

Do we know something about it that we can send out the coming days as teasers?

If not, maybe we should nag nexern  

Edit: just browsed through some of nexern's post. I'll see if I can cobble a list of PR things together tomorrow. I'll try to double check with nexern if he's not too busy

I agree: short, informative, professional and very useful!

It's not about a client. Who cares if some crypto has got some new client, except us. The main focus is on features. Can we provide any new features (in new client)? How useful are they? What can we do with them? Can we compare them with other cryptos?

[salsacz]

Right now a user friendly client is the main barrier to entry.

Sure, it is our starting flag. A timeline. To invite more people. But we don't say - look at our cool client. We say - you can do this and this.

Ok, so I might be interested in getting started with NXT. Convince me.

What do you want to know?  It's kinda a big topic.  I can lay out some info but it would help to know what your areas of interest are (e.g. are you an investor, a programmer, a politician...?)

you MIGHT want to start here:  http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/  or here:  http://mynxt.org  or here:  http://nxtcrypto.org/

From an investment point of view, a little while ago I outlined some of the main reasons why I'm in Nxt for the long haul here:

Since then, lots of exciting things have been happening, and even more is coming. Here's a good way to keep up with latest news/community activity without wading through the huge main thread:

NXT, EMUNIE, ETHEREUM: Stands BITCOIN before separation?

http://zuercherin.com/nxt-emunie-ethereum-steht-bitcoin-vor-der-abloesung/

Nxt: Nxt wurde von einem unbekannten Entwickler mit dem Namen BCNext programmiert. Nach einer Testphase bis Ende 2013, wurde die Coin offiziell Anfangs Januar gestartet. Es gibt 1 Milliarde Nxt, so dass der Kurs nicht so hoch wie Bitcoin steigen sollte. Nxt verbraucht kaum Strom, da lediglich ein Computer mit Java benötigt wird und ist zudem sehr schnell. Das Minen nennt sich hier forgen, diese Erträge werden komplett aus Überweisungsgebühren generiert (1 Nxt ist die Mindestgebühr für Transaktionen). Dazu sind ausser Java keinerlei Systemvoraussetzungen notwendig. Die Coin hat in der Kryptoszene erhebliche Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen und konnte bereits viele Anhänger gewinnen, wenn man die entsprechenden Beiträge auf Bitcointalk studiert. Nxt ist bereits bei grösseren Kryptobörsen wie Vircurex und Bter.com gelistet.

- blah blah blah... - The coin has gained a lot of attention in the cryptoscene, also has many followers ( ) , if you look at the Bitcointalk.

Fazit: Nxt hat aktuell einen kleinen Vorsprung. Es könnte sich tatsächlich mittelfristig eine Verschiebung aus Bitcoin heraus zu den neueren Währungen ergeben. Auf der anderen Seite, bin ich immer noch der Meinung, dass die beste Alternative zur Bitcoin, physisches Edelmetall ist. Ich möchte nicht allzu paranoid klingen, aber die Kryptowährungen könnten auch einen von interessierten Kreisen gelenkten Versuch darstellen, auf „coole Art und Weise“, die bargeldlose Gesellschaft zu forcieren (Die Entwickler von Bitcoin und Nxt sind beide anonym). So wie Facebook, auf „coole Art und Weise“, viele von uns dazu gebracht hat, ihre Privatsphäre in die Öffentlichkeit zu stellen.

- a nice comparison of Nxt and Bitcoin, both have anonymous developers
