Simply describing a strength without directly juxstaposing it to a competitor is a much better tactic. Let people use that as a reason to do a little research and draw their own conclusions.
Or just use the "problem" as a spring board, like so: Neutral news "MtGox is having trouble blalalalalalalabla" Then Positive news "In other news, Nxt has just moved forward with the announcement of BCNext's second stage of Nxt. This will allow blablablabla." People forget neutral and remember positive, also because it's at the end of the article. People remember negative and it's harder to get them to the positive, while also looking like a plug. In both cases Nxt comes out tops, but it doesn't look (in fact, it isn't) an attack. I was thinking of doing this on my blog, but it's not aimed at providing news on BTC, and I don't want to take on that extra work  |

Gvans.....that monolith is so pretty I want to have it's cute little monolith babies. Really....I want one. I hate to have to ask how much it costs, but ? Moving over to stickers, I'm about to push the button on an order for 100 vinyl stickers (@140x40mm format, 1/4 bumper sticker, pre-cut) from a Netherlands printer ( www,123Sticker.nl ). Total costs will be €44.50 including sales tax + delivery. This is really just a test run, to see how the quality is before I/we commit to ordering larger amounts and other designs. So, anyone who wants stickers, drop me a PM and I'll send some out to any Euro NXTers who ask. (might ask u to pay some postage if u live in Siberia) @salsacz: could I get a contribution from marketing funds to cover some/all of the costs ? Ta very much.... Heres the sticker:  |

@ EvilDave:
I was thinking around 5000nxt shipped for each genesis monolith. Does it sound reasonable? I know it's a little pricey but they are one of a kind pieces, the manufacturing and material is not cheap and I'm taking a risk already when ordering 10 of them from my pocket. But let me know what you think, we can negotiate these terms.

5000 NXT = $225 USD. Sounds about right for what it is..... I think it's a beautiful piece, but there's just no way that I personally am able to part with 5000 of my beloved NXT for it. (My preciouses....  ) However, if I was a stakeholder/whale I'd take one off you in a minute, just as a reminder of how I got to be a millionaire. I think u should wait, and get some confirmed orders from big NXT holders before u put the manufacturing order in. A monolith would also work well on a stand/booth at conferences, maybe the marketing fund could help out. |

Understood, no worries. I think I will invest anyhow 200€ on a single monolith prototype to see how it comes out. I would not want to leave this project a draft only.

I would definitely make them. They are too expensive for my wallet, too, but I'm sure you will be able to sell them. I would also advise to date them. Edit: as in "to put a date on them". Don't take them to dinner or the cinema, that would just be sad. |

I already traced my gvans-signature and year 2014 on the processing-file but you mean adding the whole date like 12. Feb 2014 etc? Anyhow, no plans to take dating my nxt-monoliths any further, yet...  |

Why not 2013-2014? That way it may appeal to the early adopters/founders, who are after all the ones with the most Nxt and thus your natural target group A full date would also work for me. That way they become more "collectible". |

Newcomer resource for all our clients: www.nxtclient.orgIt's not finished yet. I didn't put the links in it because I don't know how we will promote them, which is really open source and who's client gets a separate homepage. If you have any ideas or suggestions for this site: PM me or write here. I'm no pro web designer but donations are welcome. |

** Big News **Nxt (along with Peercoin) will be one of two official currencies at Trekcon Springfield: http://www.trekconspringfield.com/We will have access to quiet a bit of media as well as tie-ins with Star Trek actors at the event. I will be working with local companies prior to the event to help support Nxt. More details to come, still working on the logistics. Here's a video we put out when we added Peercoin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89YI6_6Aw2EYes, that's me in the video. The guys are already lining up interviews with local tv and radio stations, we'll also be able to take part in that promotion.
