For their first issue, the folks over at Bitcoin Magazine did a superb job.
I only have two issues with the first issue, one of which has been duly noted and should be corrected, but can't recall if my other concern has been addressed.
- InK Smudging (will be resolved)
- Paragraphs are too long. Breaking it up a tad would make a better reading experience.
My hope is not necessarily to point out any negatives of Bitcoin Magazine, albeit that's exactly what I just did above, but to have us all suggest improvements, unique features, interview suggestions
(something I've already started), etc.
It would be appreciated if trolling were kept to a bear minimum on this thread. I don't believe I've ever used the
Report to moderator option before, but I may do that if a snide post warrants such an action. I would love to have this thread be as constructive as possible for the betterment of Bitcoin via Bitcoin Magazine, PR'ed by my good friend and fellow Hoosier
fuzz-nuts Matthew N. Wright.
Some of the better suggestions I will post here in the OP below.
With that, I now present a couple ideas to get the ball a rollin'.
Monthly Contest (no clue what the prize(s) may be):
Take a quick look at this:
http://www.country-magazine.com/contests/The two that came to mind prior to me re-viewing that page are the
Needle in the Haystack and
Clever Caption contests. The Clever Caption contest is self-explanatory. The Needle in the Haystack may require a tad more imagination, but I do feel that it should include the ad images, thus having more eyeballs looking at the ads, hence that's a/the primary revenue source.
Incorporate inspirational quotes throughout the magazine. I will expand upon this idea later.
At least one fine article on cryptography in general and how it impacts our everyday lives.
I have another suggestion that I'm keeping under wraps till later.
That's it for starters. I, and hopefully those at Bitcoin Magazine, look forward to all your fine suggestions.
