[quote=“overkillcoin, post:56, topic:2095”]This is a framework of the information I’ve gathered. Given a longer version of this, you may want to have more “lead-in” text. For example, introductory information that helps novices ready themselves for the more involved info.
You could potentially cut out "while maintaining strong security and energy efficiency. " and add info elsewhere, since the following line discusses the same thing. Perhaps elaborate proof of stake/checkpoints.
I appreciate your comments. I think the next version will be a little less ‘vanilla’, being a draft, it needs some more effort.
Why Peercoin?
00:00 - 00:07
Peercoin stands out as a innovative crypto-currency for transferring and storing wealth while maintaining strong security and energy efficiency.
00:07 - 00:17
Peercoin transactions rely on the Proof-of-stake algorithm, rewarding holders and staying sustainable. Its network uses “checkpoints” to ensure superior security.
00:17 - 00:27
Peercoin serves as a stable, complementary “backbone” currency, used as a store of value - like a savings account or gold. 1% interest is gained yearly.

Took me some time to order my thoughts and wrap up all the comments and thoughts in this thread, but here is my attempt:
Potential key messages for video (random order)
- Not just a clone / innovative
- Low cost of maintaining network (PoS)
- Secure and sustainable / energy efficient
- No bloated blockchain
- 1% reward to end users to secure network
- Store of wealth / value
and the standard
7. Reference / more information / close-out message
Wrapping up:
@ppcman, you seem to prefer 2,4 and 5 as key messages (sentinelrv and sportscliche agree)
@mOD, you seem to prefer 1,2,3 and 6
@Overkillcoin went for a wider range of 1,2,3,5 and 6 which I like.
Any of you, please correct me if I’m wrong, but please let us know why and what your key messages would be instead.
I have added:
8. Strong community
9. Trust; Dedicated developer treating Peercoin wallet as mission critical software
I would love to see something of a human element in there, referring to the dedicated community and referring to SK, the developer to provide the trust.
Voting on key messages to be included?
Maybe we should vote on the order of importance of the key messages. We can then better focus on how to get that each key message across as many of you already started doing.
Happy to set up a voting thread. Would that work?
Length of Video
Agree that 30 seconds is very short. So I’m good to aim for something between 60 and 90 seconds. I used the 30 seconds mainly to get some focus on what is Peercoin about. I could tell about it for half an hour, I guess, but most people won’t have that span of attention. These days with information overload even minutes are scarce to get people’s attention.
As other said it is easy to increase the length of the video by providing static images, but it would quickly become boring when overused. We need to find the right balance here.
For instance explaining PoS doesn’t need to take long with some of the wording I’ve seen and some smart video in the background. Our current video is an excellent example of how that can be done.
If overkillcoin is good to deliver us a 60 to 90 second video for between US$2,500 and US$3,000 I’m all for it ,assuming it still provides at least 80% of moving video (20% static). Assuming US$ doesn’t strengthen further we could afford that from the fundraiser.
@overkillcoin, can you please let us know what you can do for us regarding length of actual video (<20% static). I understand that you are also keen to increase the length somewhat given the key messages and complexity.
If you are good with that, I suppose you would take the feedback in this thread into account and provide an extended script or?
