NxtMarketing funds:
- if I don't count Lets talk Bitcoin ad, there were 2 big donations to NxtMarketing funds: 250k by come-from-beyond and neer.g. Klee also donated 20k, but something went straight to allwelder (escort). I added some more info about other payments on account 2037401990853753795 to the left down corner of the sheet, so the guys who didn't read this topic from the beginning would see, why there were 100k before establishing of NxtMarketing fund by CFB's donation and why there were sent away then. + some escorts.


PS: I have never sent any Nxt to myself from NxtMarketing fund, yet, only today from the conference fund. Since Come-from-beyond wrote he sent me the funds also to pay myself for organisation, there will be probably some discussions about that. + some payments from the open bounty table aswell, after completed texts, graphics and videos will be published

What's with all the escorts? I didn't know we were allowed escorts!!  

Second, thanks for the bounties, once again!

Third: As CfB also said, if you are working full time on Nxt, you deserve to be paid. jl777 is also paid by a Nxtfund. I myself have no reservations with approving that. However, it needs to be transparent, so it should be clear how much you will get each month and what you have done for it (not in immense details, but just so there can be no doubts about the spending). How do others feel about this?

I am receiving $2000/mo equivalent of NXT, which is about minimum wage. neer.g was kind enough to fund my RL costs so I can concentrate 100% on NXT during these critical months. Never worked so hard for so little
As NXT price goes up, the amount of NXT required goes down, so hopefully if I am effective, I can get my short term deal extended. It sure is nice not worrying about paying rent, etc. and being able to focus on NXT fulltime. My fulltime is 100+ hrs per week, so even accounting for time spent on non-NXT activities, I believe NXT community (and specially neer.g) is getting a pretty good deal.

A short introduction on Why Proof of Stake is Here to Stay.

[EvilDave]

Salscz: thanks very much mate. Any more proof reading/correction work u need, let me know.
I should be recieving the first batch of 100 stickers tomorrow, so stay tuned, I'll post some pics when they come in.

On the subject of stickers:

What do u guys think of using stickers for guerilla marketing ?
Here in A'dam its completely normal that every traffic light/public vertical surface is covered in stickers for various events/businesses/good causes.
If we choose good locations, stickering could be a very effective way to raise NXTs profile for a fairly low cost.

[salsacz]

Well, I should probably disclose you a little secret about one of my marketing activities - http://bitstickers.net/ will print Nxt stickers in the next wave, so in a few weeks anyone could purchase very cheap Nxt stickers and buy them with Bitcoins, later probably also by Nxt. I have already sent them many logos, vectors, etc

[Damelon]

I vote for "30,000 Nxt", since I had a lot of time to think about that

What was in my mind to have:

- business cards
- logos, a lot of logos
- posters
- BANNERS, many different sizes, with more and less words, editable texts (for advertising at sites and magazines)
- billboard
- maybe some big pictures for our sites


Don't forget we have only nxt.org domain now.

Just to check up on this: is that 30,000 Nxt approved, or does it need extra approval?
I ask because I need the carrot to get them to start working.
Having a call with one of them in 30 minutes to get him up to speed with developments.

As long as they do a Branding Job and not only some random posters and banners, I say yay.

You are nót unemployed!  

Also

1) Approval based on total branding seems good. The whole idea is to make it easier to make promos, and the only way to do that is to be clear on our brand image. I just need to get them to work and an incentive that is serious will help me present my case. Yay or nay would be appreciated

2) Article seems good to me.

Grazie,
it is some time since I attended italian classes.. nice discussion there. Do you know Valerio Porcu? Hopefully there will be more articles, because this is only about Nxt as a currency but doesn't mention other features

Looking good, but shouldn't wesleyh's web client and Offspring also be featured?

You can still sell your own
Stickers are always saleable 

[EvilDave]

Yeah, my stickers are almost here.....just had mail from UPS to confirm delivery tomorrow.
Pity I'll be offline & elsewhere for most of the day......

Request for assistance - Part 1 GoCoin and ZipZap

Data required for GoCoin and ZipZap:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.msg5208851#msg5208851

Once it's put together, I'll setup meeting with both Zip and GoCoin again.


====

Part 2 of ZipZap and GoCoin

When I spoke to the guys at the conference, both were asking basically the same thing:

"How is the market we attract different than Bitcoin/Litecoin"

This is an extremely valuable point.  If we don't bring in a different market segment, why add redundancy. I know some people don't like the green/eco area, that's cool, but it's a legit difference.  As Bitcoin continues to get larger, some people aren't going to be fond of the amount of resources it utilizes. Nxt should be able to appeal to that market on a mass scale.

What else? Why add us if you already have Bitcoin/Litecoin?


This is important, not just mental masturbation. I'd like to make contact again by the end of the week.

@justabit:

heres my proposal for a totally green, carbon-neutral NXT:

I also posted on the main BTT thread, but that didn't end well.

Conference San Francisco in a month
http://www.coinsumm.it/
I am trying to get a speaker for discussion:

Decentralized Applications - the future of Bitcoin and virtual currencies?
VItalik Buterin, Ethereum.org, Anthony Di Iorio, Ethereum.org, Brock Pierce, Mastercoin Foundation
Moderated by Adam Levine, Let's talk Bitcoin

We really need someone to be there

I can go bar no one else. surely someone else is closer

Ricky is closer. But still, it is only 6 hours and $320 for both fly tickets from Atlanta Pamir also responded me few minutes ago "I would love to have NXT involved. Who do you have in mind as ambassador to send?".

NxtMinnow from Seattle could speak there. He is new, but there is a month of time to learn about nxt
