Wasn't there a template for Press Releases before with the logo...? Crowe's post is so substantial it could be turned into a PR in 15min, but would be great if it had that BURST header.

Anyone have it? I can try to put something together if I get it.

With all due respect that you have a lot to do, but if there more news are coming, this is the time to establish connection with reporters and sites

here you go... Have fun!

Edit: Just made some changes to the contact info, so please use after 1:00PM Pacific time. Well, 12:57. Thanks!

This template is just the marketplace PR doc, so just delete the info in the middle and re-use the template, that's the best I've got at the moment.

I'm on it

Will need some proof-reader later.

I'll try to keep it short

Written but not read. Need proof-reading and editing.

Please, no longer than 2 pages.

Please, send the edited/corrected version somehow to me and I try to make the best of it. Possibly posted the 12th.

...took three hours to understand mega... You will need the whole URL.

Has anyone helped? I'm sending out it out anyways otherwise, with the errors... Embarrassed

quick and dirty, would be better to have some commas replaced by points but this requires more time (changed words are underlined; mod the reply out when not needed anymore):

BURST has been launched in August 2014, so much happened the first year. However, the main developer
BurstDev (burstcoin on https://bitcointalk.org) slowly disappeared from the Dev-areas of BURST without
leaving much notice. Even though miners stayed loyal, something has to be done to keep up the
development!

It sounds more dramatic than it was. Day by day, people started to understand something had to be
done. A new (with some guys from the early days) a DevTeam had to be created. At an early stage
crowetic was pro-active, working to create what was needed with some other guys.

One important step to this, although if it seemed small, was building a new Announcement Thread (ANN) at
https://bitcointalk.org.
1 The old one had grown to over 1,200 pages; to be fair, it did have an enormous
amount of knowledge but it is totally unorganized and therefore it is very hard to find what you are looking for. In
addition, the Devs at the time were also unable to edit the Opening Post (OP) of the old thread, making
it quickly outdated. The new thread is a great success with less spam and relevant posts. The old thread
became like a reference library to new.

Behind the scenes, work to recruit new, improved and dedicated developers for BURST took some time.
However, today, the DevTeam was presented at the new ANN-thread at https://bitcointalk.org. Let’s
present them, some new, some familiar and some old faces (or should we say “nicks”).

As you all know, DCCT has been with us since the very beginning of ~~the~~ BURST, and has done some
amazing things for the coin, community and software, including one of the best miners ever for linux. He
is now helping us by becoming the official core dev, the main developer for BURST.

fuse (fusecavator, would like to be known as 'fuse') and vbcs are truly awesome. Fuse came to us with
some great topics, ~~and~~ has already implemented his suggested changes into the code, and these will be
put into the next release of the BURST wallet. vbcs, as you all know, has been around since day one as
well. He is happy since a Crowdfunding started for him was a success and he agreed to work with
BURST continually as part of the team. We are very lucky to have him as he is a fantastic developer. Fuse,
though new, is also a fantastic Dev and we've grown already tremendously fond of him, we know that
these two will make wonderful things together! We're truly honored to have them!

page 1 is reviewed Wink

clepto.design is a personal friend of crowetic, who helped him to get his company started which will be posting
a temporary page soon on clepto.design. We've decided he will be a tremendous help with graphics.
We thank him for what he has done so far which people will see shortly. we know he will be a great
asset in the future!

daWallet has already proven ~~himself~~ to be a massively beneficial member to the BURST team, and has
been extremely valuable and trustworthy. he has made BURST MUCH easier to use with his Windows
GUI, and continually ~~released~~ updates. He is also currently working on ANDROID DEVELOPMENT!

daWallet / Kleinstein / kartojal - We haven't seen Klein or Kart around for some time, but we do believe
they are not gone, and we do know that daWallet has a small team under him that will also do
mobile development and android stuff.

luxe has proven himself to be extremely valuable with his GPU miner release and much more, he is also
currently helping dcct with core dev. We are extremely proud to have him on our team. We think he will
continue to prove himself as a fantastic dev and great asset to the team!

As luxe already has been discussed, it’s time for Blago. He has been around for quite some time and
has proven himself not only to be the most awesome of miner developer, but also, the most Russian! We love
Blago and are very pleased to have him as part of our team - Thank you Blago!

In the context of BURST development, there are more, random Devs, who we haven't seen in a while
but believe will still be part of the team. cryo, googs, catbref, and cheester to name a few. Above is
the active team ~~above~~. We also have a lawyer, a CPA, and a marketing master which we will remain
nameless for the moment.

Stay tuned to BURST, the hard-disk minable crypto not far to celebrate two years of low-energy, secure,
decentralized and suitable mining! For the future, we have much more to enjoy – wait & see.

thats all for now but more revising may be good
