CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS: We are putting together a Feathercoin Media Team

goodheads

I work as an advertising creative. I’m interested - so are a few others (strategists and producers).

We could potentially get a few ears listening. Let me know if you have a brief I could look at.

Cheers,

Joe

we’re based in Sydney

I am in for the long fight.

Looking to recruit with one or two folk to help out on the FB front, this will help with some new flavour in the social media feed.

I can write copy and do some graphics too. Tues/Wed I will have a media intro letter fully fleshed out for editing and changes.

I feel we need a platform to use to communicate to each other, the forums and do.com are fine (the latter closing) but we do need a machine to facilitate our plans and organise us. Any ideas?

Calem, any thoughts on a mix video introducing FTC, not a hard sell but selling us as a community with a sum that is more than our individual parts.

I can strip out the mp3 voice track from the FTC Ox Blue video and mail it. Maybe something a little hard core rock with some techno beats interlaced with quotes and sound bites from our videos. Edgy but immediately enjoyable.

Let me know what you think and we can get a team together to help you out.

I’m not a facebook kinda guy, so I don’t think I’m the best candidate for helping there.

In regards to a communication platform aside from the forum here, I use Skype, maybe that could be used for conference calls?

Entimp, sounds like fun. I have a couple of guitarists who would be happy to help out. I know of the video your talking about, I’ve seen it. I could download it myself and rip the audio out, sample it into the song, and use the video to mix up if I had some other graphics/footage to chuck in with it.

[quote]with a sum that is more than our individual parts.[/quote] Do you mean showing that we’re more about been a community rather then a bunch of day traders?

I’ve downloaded the Oxford Blue video

Also, if someone wants to go all out and focus on the video, It would be fine by me. I can “mix” video around, like my Kanninbalen mix, but I’m no good with putting in titles the same way the Ox Blue video has em “floating” in the sky/background… Looks really impressive but I can’t really do that.

Ok. I have the video, but It would be nice to have the speaking without the music in the background. I can still work with this, but I’d have more freedom if I had the original speech.

Entimp

I’m sure we can get that, I will chat with Chris today hopefully and see what we can do. Ace - Let’s Do It!

I think I just pm’d you with my skype contact… but it’s not showing up under sent. If you don’t receive it let me know.

But yeah, sounds like a plan!

Entimp

I got the PM, cheers. Will get back to you once I have touched base with CHris today (hopefully).

Ruthie

Hey :) I’m always here and will pitch in where I can ;)

Heya Ruthie!

I saw you on the Ox Blue video!

You don’t mind me (or whoever does the video) using your image in the promo video that’s getting organised?

Ruthie

Hey Calem, I don’t mind at all :)

I can do translations to Danish. I can also do a decent translation to Swedish and can probably get a Swedish friend to correct what spelling errors I might make.

I’m a bit late with this, but I’m a sound designer and composer as well, currently studying “Media and sonic communications”, so I could lend a hand in that direction also.

I have some old school analogue synths and an 8-bit monophonic synth plus a really nice nineties digital 16-bit synth, so if someone wants to create something with kind of a geeky and vintagey feel, I could be your man. And of course I’m open for colaborations, Calem :)

Guys,

Thanks so much for the overwhelmingly awesome response. I’ll be contacting every volunteer directly over the coming day via PM. Hopefully we’ll get a few more responses to this!

Thanks!

I think a lot of effort should be put into getting more traders over from places like eBay & eBid to come and trade in the marketplace.

With Bittylicious adopting FTC in the near future it offers traders an easier path to exchanging funds back to fiat currency. Could be just the platform needed to help convert existing traders, who are not into crypto yet, into trading for them.

If adoption is the key to future success then this has to be the way to go.
I have traded on eBay for years so have a good understanding of how these businesses operate. I would love to be able to help by canvassing eBay businesses. Could really make a push at getting the marketplace buzzing with lots of new items for people to purchase!

You know, that got me to thinking…

Why is it when people ask where to buy Feathercoin, people say exchanges, eBay, and Bittylicious?

Why don’t they say the Feathercoin marketplace?

Until getting to know of a few people here, I was uneasy with buying ftc directly from people (plus I only just found out now by you that ftc is been sold on the marketplace here…).

I was also under the assumption that paypal wasn’t too keen on crypto currencies.

But yeah. I’m gonna be in a position to buy ftc next week. So I’m gonna hunt around and find someone.

Maybe there should be a stickied thread where there’s a list of trusted members here who sell ftc directly?

Once I’ve personaly bought ftc directly from someone here, I’ll point anyone who asks in their direction.

I was having similar thoughts as you. I noticed listings in the marketplace but was personally going to hold out for Bittylicious to start selling them or go the btc/ftc route.

However if any other newbies like me are reading this, and maybe considering purchasing via other members, check out this post by another helpful member:

Sorry if I have steamed this thread further off-topic

Definitely… I see the question been asked every night… where/how do I buy ftc…

Have it side by side the market place. maybe have a thing where you need x amount of rep before you can start selling feathercoin to people (The risk is on the sellers side is it not?)

I’m not sure how escrow works, but that would fix a lot of trust issue’s too.

But yeah. A tab right next to marketplace where new users can easily find a trusted member to buy ftc directly. Let’s cut out the middle man. (Exchanges)

If people want to day trade, they can go elsewhere.
