Description

@RedByrd and I are creating a series of videos that show simple and straight to the point tutorials/'How To's' of PIVX. For example, how to download the wallet, how to shield your PIV, how to find the blockchain, etc.

Need

Feedback on branding, ideas, and eventually the videos. The attached images are 4 different logo concepts and the other attached is 3 different variants on the overarching 'PIVX How To's' logo.

Due Date

Friday October 25th.

Ideas List

• Get PIV
• Get a Wallet
• Stake
• Get a Masternode
• Shield Transactions
• Get Shielded PIV
• Contact Us
• Apply for a Position
• Get Involved
• Spend PIV
• Find Blockchain
• Vote On Proposals
• Earn PIV
• Exchange + Swap PIV
• Join the Community
• Find Coin Specs
• Spend PIV Privately
• Trade PIV
• View the Source Code
• Know It’s 100% Private

Split Staking into Hot and Cold Staking.
Each should mention both and point to the video of the other.

Maybe 'Get Involved' can be split into one specific to helping on Socials?
Especially since that is a great way to climb the learning curve.

Do an overview video of Toolbox.PIVX.org and do a dedicated video of each section there.

Appreciate this! Good idea.

I think perhaps we will start with 'How to Stake' and then do an overview of both in 2 other vids. Follow up with more detailed version of both maybe?
My thoughts are people who know enough about crypto to know what staking is - they might be intimidated or confused if we split it off into two different types right off the bat.

I agree about getting involved. Good call. One can be voting, discord, etc, and one can be helping on socials or repping us in person.

I've added more. That's great. How are these?

Wallets Core + MPW

• I will list these later - this will focus on the introductory things for people, and we can deal with an advanced series much later on. |

We are discussing this in Discord, but just to bring the discussion here as well:
What do you think of this slight re-jig to the Introductory Videos? Thought maybe we could group a couple of the concepts above. But ideally we target the initial 3-4 concepts to begin.

Introductory/New to PIVX

1. Get a Wallet (MPW)
2. Buy / Earn / Send & Receive PIV (MPW) / See my transactions
3. Private PIV vs Public PIV

4. Spend PIV (eg: PIV Cards / Privacy)

   ^^ Initial Series

5. Stake my PIV - Cold Staking
6. Stake my PIV - Hot Staking
7. Getting involved in the Community (eg: Voting, Masternodes, Discord)
8. PIVX Trading (eg: Trade PIV / Exchange + Swap PIV)

Not sure which it fits in best, but somewhere please make it clear that even without a vote, anyone in the Community can help steer the direction of votes by providing constructive feedback to proposals. MNOs do read all the comments, and it will shape their decision, if they are informative and supported by facts and logic.

100% Would love any feedback on on-going work. This list is in the let's massage this and make a good plan for execution, so any feedback on priority / insight into content is always much appreciated from the whole community and love the conversation we have had thus far.

Not sure if it should be separate, or part of '1. Get a wallet.' Also, maybe this is already planned. Didn't see it, but it is hard to navigate this forum post on my cell phone screen. Sorry if I missed it.

But, there should be steps to show how to recover a wallet in MPW. If people test that process with a small amount, even 1 PIV, and see how the seed words list is all they need to recover, then they will feel far more comfortable and that is super important. So, it should be part of the 1st video, or immediately after.

Thanks Eric, this is a good thought. I think this is part of the 'fear', 'what if I do something wrong and lose it'. I'll add this in for discussion in discord as well. But I'll monitor both the forum and discord for any additional comments.

Here are mockups of the desktop and mobile views.

I'm creating the Illustrator files so anyone can use and input text. This can help visualize and plan future vids. This will also help double as image tutorials for FAQ pages and static socials.

We don't necessarily need to have the phone and laptop but I thought it might be a nice touch. If we just use the footage and pics without the phone/laptop we would have more space.

How To Get a Wallet (Video 1) Ready for Review:

• This still needs our voiceover, but it's ready to checked and receive feedback.
• We've made this into a template so that it is much easier to replicate for future vids. Once approved we are off to the races!

HOW TO get a Wallet (Video 1) Final Review

Asking for final review of the first How To video:

HOW TO Send + Receive PIV (Video 2) Ready for Review

Here's the progress so far:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6eNBzwgv2M

Video 1: Looks good!

Video 2: A few spots when the audio say 'Here!' I can't see the cursor. Also, I am not sure we should mention XPub without describing the use case.

That makes sense. I should have done a better job at describing the second one's progress - I still have to put in the animations, sound effects, and pointers/signals like you pointed out.

Concerning Xpub, perhaps I can put in brackets (will be explained in a future video)?

HOW TO VIDS 1 + 2 FINAL REVIEW

@RedByrd and I are asking for a final look at these two vids before we post them. We are mostly looking for any major issues or glaring errors. We have elongated the speech a little so it's not so fast. We corrected some QR codes and transactions from the screen record that needed to be marked out. We added the final sound effects, text, and animations to the Send + Receive vid. Finally, we changed the wallet sync time to 30sec-3mins due to the amazing new update to the MPW our PIVX Labs is putting out.

Thanks @Meerkat , Jskitty, @Eric_Stanek , and others for feedback!

Due Date

Need feedback by Friday Nov.29th at 10am PST (Tomorrow)
