What I am saying is anyone landing on that website from bitcointalk.org would understand who JJG is and what this site is about. But for an outsider it will be a bit difficult to understand what this page is telling.
May be we can have videos in different languages so that people from different areas can understand this in there native language. Like if you do a video in Urdu/Hindi language, it has target audience of almost over 1 billion. (231 million population of Pakistan and 1.4 billion population of India).
Of course you likely realize that I am only half joking when it comes to the interpretive dance, but the other half would be if someone were to want to create some kind of video (or even translate the thread) then that could be possible. I have my doubts about expanding into YouTube videos, unless someone wants to do it, and there could be some potential to discuss compensation, and sure if some folks are already good at doing those kinds of videos then they might have a track record, but we might not be willing to pay how much they would like.. but then it also might depend upon whether we were monetizing the site.. so then if there was a certain amount of traffic and then the videos draw more traffic, then it could justify improving the product and then to have more appeal to a broader audience and even in other languages... and even after responding to all of this, I would think that having text versions that are translated in other languages would be the more logical next step rather than taking any of us out of our specialty realm.. which so far has not been video content.
Obviously I do got the humour involved in your post.
You would not consider it funny to have a hot chick make an interpretive dance to a sustainable withdrawal technique and/or to have I and/or bitmover require an "in person" interview?
The idea of putting a video is to give that great work more recognition and projection.
I am not saying it is a bad idea. It is just not our bali-wick, so far. We are barely getting the website up and running (and open to the public), and I have not even had a chance to go through bitmover's thread on the topic.. including that I have some other outstanding communication that I have with him that I would likely attempt to address first.
If there is a shot and comprehensive video about the site then it will attract more traffic. You may think of monetising the site at some later stage, when you have adequate traffic. Right not the site is mostly for bitcointalk.org users.
No argument from me. It just launched in the last couple of days, and we are also talking about whether to stay on that site or to create another domain for such....including that we are also talking about the potential of converting my
opening post 3 into a webpage, too.
Fillippone created an update to the chart in
an interactive GoogleSpreadsheet in which guys can input their own data (such as BTC stash size, increments for withdrawal and % amounts of withdrawal) in order to see their own results.
If you want the video content you can announce about that here and I am sure you will get lots of good creator here. Price can be negotiated with interested folks, you may even get people who will do it for free.
No argument from me, and even if we are not currently saying that we are seeking applications, beyond the hot chick interpretive dancer, I am sure that if there were any serious attempts to collaborate in that direction, then we could consider it. and potentially negotiate terms (most likely privately).. even if something might be free, we may or may not choose to link to it, depending on if we believe that it were to be potentially helpful. Of course, anything in another language might need to have some kind of a transcript so that we could review it..
About translation, there are already many threads translated into different languages. All you need is an announcement here that you need to translate your thread or website, you will get lots of applicants for that work.
I think that many folks who have their threads translated will usually request the data to be linked to the original, and of course if there were a whole website translated that would be further down the road.. but could be a possibility if it seems to be something that we might want to include.
