this might be a good way of attracting good new users
Honestly, can't see that having a significant impact in terms of attracting new users but since this forum is some sort of information hub (in crypto world), the focus should be on video tutorials and such...
- This:
especially if it includes helpful video guides and explanations of the rules or standards here.
- Summarized crypto news, but from a neutral perspective, without any pump-and-dump
It feels weird to see "
BTCitcointalk.org channel" having content other than
BTCitcoin stuff (even if it's summarized).
- Regardless of having a "Alternate cryptocurrencies" board on this forum.
Does this sound like a good idea?
Yes, but needs some finishing touches...
Is anyone interested in producing this content? I suppose we'd need at least someone with good camera presence, someone skilled at video editing, and one or more script writers.
I can help with video editing but I kinda like what "hilariousandco" suggested (minus the reward in merits):
I'm sure we could get some user generated content and if they're good enough they can be uploaded to the main channel. Their reward could be in things like merit, or as you mentioned in cash if they're of a very high standard (and I'm sure they would also receive merit in addition). Maybe there could be a special badge for great video content creators as well.
Having said that, I agree with what most users posted (this shouldn't be a priority while there are a lot of other issues in the first place).
I don't know how many forum members will watch the channel. You can see on meta, how many people's are active here. To be honest 90% user are bounty hunters and they are busy with it. They don't have much time to perticipate forum discussion and I don't think so they will watch also channel. Increase new members means increase spammers by the way.
That's not the only objective:
