I think it might be time for me to start making some videos for Darkcoin.

TanteStefana2, I appreciate your effort making an instructional/tutorial video, but there is a much easier way to quickly update mns.

I could make both a mn setup tutorial video and a mn update video, making it easy for any novice with 1,000 DRK to set up his own masternode the right way.

but since I have my own mns and I'm greedy, I don't know if it's in my interests to make a tutorial showing how to make more mns to compete with mine for payments.

on one hand, if more DRK are removed from circulation to make mns, less DRK would be available in the market so the price might go up. and it would also be good for Darkcoin that there would be more mns running.

but on the other hand, when more mns compete with mine, I get fewer mn payments. (I know mn % of block reward will increase each month. but in the meantime, the frequency of payments I get depends on the number of mns running.)

so, should I make an instructional tutorial video? would that be in my interests to do? Huh

Evan's presentation video is great, very informative about Darkcoin, Darksend, InstantX, and the mn network. I think I can present all this information in a Darkcoin video that would interest regular people who don't know much about crypto-currency.

I'm not sure if I should get started now on making this video, or if I should wait until more improvements happen and the interface is more user-friendly. it would take a lot of my time to put this video together, I wouldn't want to have to completely re-do the video when new things happen. but I think now would be a good time for an informative promotional video to make people aware of Darkcoin, spread knowledge, and create excitement.

should I get started on it now?

YES!

Anything you can do to help get the word out would be awesome. As far as masternodes, they're going to grow in numbers no matter what, up to a point. This will be driven more by the cost of masternodes and the potential income, IMO. People who can't do it themselves find a way, even if it's to have someone else handle it for them. But I know I appreciate it when I can learn a better way to do things. In fact, I need to learn how to do multiple wallet starts even so I only have 2 wallets, but time is kinda short. But, I think everything we do to help the network, help the coin, help each other, makes the coin more valuable, and thereby rewards us for our efforts. Kind of like enlightened self interest Wink
