Videos for Feathercoin
-
More about this. I think the best starting place is a 30-60sec general about FTC vid. Unlike the Riecoin video I did over a year ago, I wouldn’t want to mention Bitcoin much at all now. Investors are looking for “Blockchains” but “Bitcoin” is undesirable- I know I know, that is a ridiculous statement but its reality. People with lots of money are wising up to power of blockchains and are looking for ways to get involved without Bitcoin…So my thought is we leave Bitcoin completely out of it and simply use the tagline “Feathercoin, a better blockchain”. Also unspecific lines like “You’ve heard about problems with block sizes and mining consolidation, well those are issues we’ve addressed at Feathercoin. Feathercoin is ready for high volume. Our blockchain is ready to handle the traffic of your payment services today”…This is super rough, just thinking out loud.
Position ourselves more as a blockchain alternative as opposed to an alt currency if that makes sense.

Another way to pitch the better blockchain aspect would be to put it in global terms regarding the entire blockchain. For instance something like this
“You’ve realized that creating your own blockchain and benefiting from its use probably isn’t feasible, what you need to do is secure space on a blockchain that is tried, tested and supported by great devs and community. This becomes a simple case of math and where to best allocate your blockchain budget. Here is a quick comparison. An investment of $30000 would net you 75 Bitcoins, or about 0.0003% of the bitcoin blockchain - not a lot of wiggle room in that tiny slice is there? You would be a small voice in a very large room. The same investment in Litcoin would get you control of 0.02% of Litecoin’s total supply, a little better. But a $30000 investment in the FTC blockchain? At today’s prices that would net a whopping 10% of the entire blockchain.”
- of course this would need to be updated/changed periodically as the figures will change……

@bsotnikow I like your initiative, there is massive amount of innovation in core 9.5 (which will Lizhi port to new wallet eventually), I actually offer 500FTC bounty for anybody making video about our wallet.
(multisig tutorial would be nice, SX, shapeshift from walet etc…) -
Awesome!! I like the ideas you have. Promoting the blockchain rather than an alt (even if they are the same) is a different take on things.
I’ll match @mirrax and offer 500FTC for a video about the wallet features.
-
@bsotnikow Great Idea :+1:
Especially the idea to push new releases with your videos and the BC advertising, rather than the ‘Coin advertizing’.
We could describe the new features of the current development revisions and in a parallel set the features that made it into the release versions together with the release date for the new releases.
This would help to reach pool and exchange operators, so they can switch to the lastest release versions in a planned and timely manner.
The videos also would attract more people and would make Feathercoin more popular.
@MIrrax: 0.9.5 probably will not make it to a production release, but 0.11.X will ;)

Thanks all! No need to offer bounty’s though, I’m an investor and stakeholder. This is to help protect my own investment so just consider me an ally. -send extra FTC to Ghostlander if you’ve got it! haha, thats money best spent.

Yes, the “problem” is I announced that bounty somewhere on this forum like year ago.
But ok, if you actually finish it… I will send 500FTC to Ghost :D -
+1 I like the idea of promoting blockchains :-)
it’s become a bit of a buzzword right now and if that helps promote FTC and highlight it to new investors…then boom! it’s a good plan.
@bsotnikow - like Mirrax said, if you finish the video I’ll also send 500 FTC to Ghostlander since you’re kind enough to forgo the bounty :-)

This would be about a minute…It would be faster, and way way easier for me, if i did a video with this script and just some high res video of business themed things- what do you think?..The whiteboard or animation stuff doesn’t seem right for this script or audience anyways.
“Payment services and currencies themselves are moving into a new era, the era of blockchains. Securing space on a blockchain now for research and development is key. Its important to pick a blockchain that has proven the test of time and is well supported. Also consider how capable the blockchain is. Is it fast? Are its blocks designed to handle heavy traffic? The Feathercoin blockchain is ready for high volume payment services today. Feathercoin offers value as well, a modest investment can secure a sizeable percentage of the entire blockchain. A similar investment in Bitcoin can only purchase a minuscule fraction of the entire blockchain - prepare to be a small voice in a very large hall. The Feathercoin blockchain is functionally ready for your business today, and its community and developers are eager to work with you. Invest wisely in function and value. Choose Feathercoin, the better blockchain.”

@bsotnikow wait make that “enduring community and skilled developers”

not my ideas, but i definitely agree with it to decimal point:
the mainstream is interested in “blockchains” now, but they don’t yet understand it. They’re starting to realize that Blockchain = Bitcoin…eventually they’ll realize Blockchain also = Altcoins. Then they will start doing comparisons. Suppose you are an investor from some sort of bank or payment processor. Here are your options if you want to get into blockchains:
1)Launch a decentralized blockchain (you as creator lose control of it)
2)Launch a centralized blockchain (serves no purpose as you still have high level security concerns and the blockchain can’t run autonomously)
3)Buy up a small fraction of Bitcoin’s blockchain for a lot of money
4)Buy up a large fraction of an altcoin blockchain for very little moneyMany of the alt coins also have solutions for block sizes, better anonymity, better distribution and all sorts of other technical advantages
-
@mirrax haha! Thanks Mirrax, that was me who said that on Bitcointalk! We’re on the same page here, good news. :)
-
an idea could be to throw in how long the feathercoin blockchain has been running for?
-
@aciddude Yea thats smart, I’ll add that in as well. Busy week, hopefully i’ll get this put together for us this week.
-
@aciddude I actually thought it might be smart even to mention the hard fork…maybe in another video. On the one hand some people might look at it negatively, but I think it shows the resilience of the community and feathercoin name to make it through that alright. Also with all the talk of Bitcoin potentially needing to hard fork for blocksizes, it looks good on feathercoin to have gone through that very publicly and even as the coin is well established.

I didnt realize Primecoin was ever that high on the list.
Maybe once day FTC will be back up there…

Maybe it will, I’ve seen way weirder things to happen.
For example Dogecoin…top5 coin? Seriously? C’mon… -

I know right? I think its got to have some wealthy backers who keep the price inflated.
