[b]Project Updates - Keeping Everyone Informed[/b]
May 03, 2012 — [i]Here’s just a few of the projects[/i]
[b]1. What is Feathercoin Video[/b]
I’ve submitted the script to the voice-over talent. I will post the file in the projects section on May 5th for community review. If you have suggestions at that point, let us know in the thread and we’ll have him work on a final revision. Once this is complete, I will work kick the voice-over and the statement of work to the animator.
[b]2. Meetup Groups[/b]
I’ve been working with a contractor to put together a list of all the Bitcoin and Libertarian related groups. Once this is complete, I’ll ask one of my writers to help me draft a letter to these meetup group organizers. The goal is to help bring awareness (and hopefully community involvement) to Feathercoin. Once this letter gets kicked back, I’ll post it in the projects section for community review. Please review the Meetup Group Projects thread to get a better idea on the direction.
[b]3. Merchants Accepting Feathercoin[/b]
I’ve created a list of companies that currently accept Litecoin. Since these companies already accept Litecoin, Feathercoin is the next logical step. I’ve created a Google Docs document to track our progress. I have a generic merchant letter which I sent to the writers last night to beef it up a bit. If you’re interested in joining us on this project, please drop me a PM. Just a few minutes a day could make a huge impact on the long-term value of Feathercoin.
[b]4. Feathercoin Jingle[/b]
I thought a few quick 5 second promos would help us spread the name Feathercoin in a fun/non-intrusive way. I’ve asked a musician to come up with a few for:
Feathercoin - Digital money without the weight
It would be great if this would spark other versions of even the slogan and/or music. I expect to get back 2 versions in the next 10 days. Once I receive it, I’ll post it in the projects board. If you would like to do your own, fantastic, would love to hear it.
[b]5. Feathercoin Startup Kit[/b]
It looks like a few of the members are working on a newbie mining guide, fantastic. I’m working on creating basic videos to get someone brand new to cryptography started. Here’s a few examples:
- How to download the wallet and what are the features
- How to move USD into coins
- Sending coins to/from the exchanges
- Navigating/trading on the exchanges
- Moving coins back into the wallet
If you have any additional ideas, please post in the projects section.
[b]6. FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt)[/b]
As we know, there’s quite a bit of misinformation out there about Feathercoin. Thanks from the help of the community, I’m working with Bushstar to create a document addressing all the common misunderstandings/attacks. Anytime someone begins to discuss all the reasons why Feathercoin isn’t legit, you’ll be able to simply direct them to the website.
[b]7. Vacation[/b]
I’m out of the country from May 4th - May 12th. While Internet availability will be limited, I’ll do my best to check-in as much as possible. My goal this week was to get projects moving forward and we’re in fantastic shape thanks to your efforts. Thank you!
[b]*** Don’t Believe The Nonsense ***[/b]
As we have now gained more exposure in the crypto community, we’re essentially under the microscope. While there are a number amazing people that are contributing to Feathercoin (developers, miners, artists, people spreading the word), there is an element that doesn’t want to see us succeed. The critics will tell you there’s no real support behind Feathercoin, I’m here to let you know, that’s not the case. There are many of us that are willing to do whatever it takes to see this coin succeed. We have a great developer, great community and the right enthusiasm to push this into the mainstream.
If you want to be apart of something big, feel free to drop me a PM. Regardless of your talent, there’s a place for everyone on the Feathercoin team.
Here … we … go!
