From Ashes Reborn.. the Peercoin Newsletter (Released)

Yurizhai · January 24, 2014, 4:39am

[quote=“Sentinelrv, post:8, topic:1862”]Ok, here’s a couple things.

I think you should center the logo. It looks better like that in my opinion.
In “so lets get started” I believe “lets” needs an apostrophe.
Insert John’s last name, Manglaviti.
In “section of the offical forums” official needs another i.
Under the Peershare news, I would put in a short description of what Peershare is for people who have no idea. Maybe this…

“Peershare is a way for businesses to manage publicly held shares in a decentralized fashion. It uses the Peercoin network to automate the distribution of associated dividends in the form of Peercoins.”

I took two sentences from Jordan Lee’s original post and combined them. If this isn’t a correct description then try it out yourself.

Try using this title on Bitcointalk. It incorporates teasers to get people to click on the thread. I tested it and it just fits.

Thanks sentinel. Updated. Question, while I know Peershare operates using the PPC network, I thought it would allow distribution of dividends in any currency of their choosing?

I’m not sure. I got that quote from the original post. You’d have to confirm it with Jordan.

Yurizhai · January 24, 2014, 11:48am

I think that’s it for what I know of. Needs a conclusion and 0.3.1 release.

Any polish suggestions?

There was another advertising action on Reddit which was done just few days after the one you mentioned. You can add that too, this round is actually finished. http://www.reddit.com/r/peercoin/comments/1vumih/a_little_peercoin_advertising_foundation/

Thanks!

I’m trying to confirm with Jordan whether that quote is correct and if Peershare can distribute dividends in other cryptos than just Peercoin.

Here you go Yuri…

[quote=“Jordan Lee, post:65, topic:382”][quote=“Sentinelrv, post:63, topic:382”]We’re including a description of Peershare in the latest Peercoin Newsletter. I took two sentences from your original post and combined them. Is this correct? Also, can it distribute dividends only in Peercoins, or other cryptos as well? I just want to make sure we get this right.

These statements are correct.

Peershare as designed will only distribute dividends in Peercoins. However, it can be easily modified to distribute dividends in other cryptocurrencies, and I expect this will occur.[/quote]

Awesome. Added volunpeer section and small conclusion. Does anyone know that the google docs link in the volunpeer section is still accurate?

Sentinelrv · January 24, 2014, 8:23pm

Check the top of Peercoin.net. There should be a volunteer link there. It’s probably the same one. Also, in your conclusion, the word “create” isn’t needed.

Yuri, if you’re going to do a giveaway to keep the thread bumped, I suggest adding it in the title or people might miss it. I updated the title below…

I agree, but let’s really point out the dollar value for Peershare

[PPC] Peercoin Newsletter #7: PPC Give-away - $500,000 USD already funded for Peershare!

That’s more of an eye catcher, than the client version number.

The $500K sounds like megabytes or kilobytes. Not a good reference point. 1/2 million dollars at normal market rate, funding Peershare? That’s REUTERS news.

Also, where are our official Press Releases shown? When something significant of this magnitude goes out, an official press release needs to be prepared.

All press-releases include a point of contact (or Person of contact) at the bottom. They are official and ready-to-go-to-press.

I mentioned before about the necessity of Press Kits (which are really important). We also need to have specific press-releases. 1/2 million dollars towards Peershare funding is worthy of a major press-release.

(A client upgrade isn’t. So for those of us trying to differentiate the difference… A significant milestone of great magnitude deserves a press release. You want to keep these press releases to a bare minimum so they are more likely to make it to print, radio, and TV.

The 1/2 million dollar funding for Peershare is definitely a MAJOR boom to Peercoin, more than any upgraded wallet, and needs mainstream / conventional media exposure asap). Real reporters are hungry for major swings in cryptocurrency, and I don’t know any coin lately that has 1/2 million dollars of investment towards a project like Peershare.

The only reason why Peercoin is this silly little value it is today is for lack of proper promotion. If bounties are available, we need to convert those to USD and hire a proper PR (public relations) person who has media contacts.

Let’s stop fooling around and get this going where it needs to be before someone eats our lunch for us.
