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

very unimportant part, but I will mention it: nxtclients.org forwards to nxtclient.org - maybe it should be nxtclient.org from the start?

btw did I miss any clients?

I prefer nxtclients, because it highlights that we have many clients, but it's no biggy.

There is also Freerider, but that's still very experimental: http://www.quicknxt.com/FreeRider

Which of these clients are running on linux, did I get it right?

Looks OK.

Solaris is Windows only, not MacOS.

I think, Solaris will be developed for Mac in the future. I changed it.

Yes, Solaris will be available for Mac, too.

Just finished the showcase for it: Client showcase: NXT Solaris

Hello, guys!
I want to remind you about collecting funds for the motion graphic design.
We need funds to pay sound designer and to dictors. Then the work will be complete.
For now we collected 398 nxt and 10 ltc, but it's not enough to finish video.

Especially i appeal to stakeholders and to devteam.
I'm sure that video will be very good promo of the nxt.
Also we could make more videos about new clients, transparent  mining, asset exchange and other features of the nxt.
We should teach people. How else they will know about benefits of the nxt?
Don't  pass by. Who except you can support that project? If not you then nobody!

nxt account to collect funds: 8987437801852093688
Here is an original topic

d13id: after the video will be finished, you will get a bounty from the marketing fund (some thousands of Nxt), it is listed in the gdoc (=Excellent Animation video), but still without exact amount... will be probably solved case by case.

@d13id: For the first video+audio draft, I'm sure Joefox will help you. Sound expert and smooth voice. And we should work on the content a little more.

Huge Marketing Opportunity

Great job Salsacz and the rest of the Berlin crew!  NiftyNikel will be contacting you today to talk a bit about our charity drive we're about to start for SongsofLove. Our marketing group, CoinTropolis, will start the party off by donating 10k Nxt. I've worked with the foundation director before... they are completely behind it.

Not only does giving back feel good, it gives us a story worth printing with the 200+ writers we have in our media list.

OK, I've just had the time to take a look at the website for SongsOfLove.
http://www.songsoflove.org/

Hmmmm.....I'm going to sound like the Grinch who stole Christmas here, but I am not on board with this. At all....

I admire SongsofLoves apparent aim;  to bring some happiness to kids in hospital.
However, I think that this charity is not a good fit for NXT.
They appear to be offering the same deal to every crypto, so I am sure that the kids will get enough personalised songs to get them thru their illness, even if NXT doesn't get involved.

Sorry for being a grouch, but my vote is no.

May songsoflove be not the right charity, I really like the idea of reaching out to charities and work with them so they can accept NXT donations.

I think ANY action is good at the moment. See it as a test run. We can do more if it is succesful.
I would like it even more if it is privately funded. That would show the *community* gives, not the "community fund"

With the current value of Nxt it shouldn't be thát hard to get a few thousands worth together

I have no problem with a spot of charity (as u guys may remember  ) but I am just not keen on SongsOfLove at all.
I think it's a very bad fit for NXT.

However, the agency promoting this to us, Cointropolis, may be able to bring something else to the table.

And again (gonna beat this point until it's good and dead) it's still too early to go mainstream with NXT marketing.
Over a month or 3, maybe we'll be sponsoring F1, but right now we still need to have tech-savvy users, not Joe Public.
Some merchants would be useful, btw.

Is there a marketing plan for the release of the AE?

[Damelon]

Is there a marketing plan for the release of the AE?

Do we even know when it will be released? (short answer: no)

[bitcoinpaul]

You can still plan marketing stuff for it.

[Damelon]

This is true.
As I say, there is as yet no centralised marketing plan.

I am plugging the testing as hard as I can in every article that I write and mention it (even if I have to shoehorn it in) on reddit answers, too.

At this point, I again come to the part where I say there isn't enough info to actually "promise" anything yet.

We see in the testing phase that some things that were put on the wiki (trading real world commodities) require much more work than previously thought.

So basically what I do is mention that this is a real possibility and that devs are working on it: preparing the ground without an ETA, but planting the idea.

I would think that this could be easily extended to a bigger strategy.

Would be great if you guys could take a few minutes to review and possibly contribute. I'm working with Damelon (Bitcointalk Nxt Summaries and Reddit) to make it happen.

Also confirming in here that I hold the account and that it is 4636321498642303120.

The first goalpost is about 35,000 Nxt, so Nifty and Justabit can start posting press releases.

That's 24,000 Nxt that needs to be donated for the first goalpost Smiley

Private funding, too. Whether for charity or marketing, that's a bargain.  Grin  - Damelon
