I can assure you that NIX has plans on marketing. But marketing has to be done right. If you advertise too quickly and you have an immature product, that will hurt you, if not kill it. So, since they a great product that will continually to get better and items to be added, the will be marketing NIX well. I think doing it now is great. Its the perfect time. A real product that is working. I believe they are on schedule with the white paper.
Nope I know for a fact that they don't plan to actually invest money into marketing. They admitted it. Previously they had announced that they would allocate some funds, but they are preaching the decentralization factor. So now they don't believe in such marketing, I asked plently of times and this was the response that I got. Believe me if you want, or don't if you don't. They had team members solely dedicated to marketing, and now they don't. Now their marketing is more "the project will market itself" - as the techonology will market itself, per say.
