I'm pretty sure there are many famous youtubers posting here already (Davinci comes to mind for exemple).
Why not ask some of them to produce videos in the name of the forum every once in a while ?
It would insure quality, probably more than if you hire just one guy.

Oh didn't know if such an amazing idea was here for review. If we look it commercially, I think it won't be very successful, theymos since you mentioned that you are ready for funding project, then great, it will earn small to reduce that additional funding. But will that format be interesting? Don't take it as an advertisement but I think cointelegraph is doing that job pretty well, both on their website and on youtube. I think from you that will be a little bit waste of resources? Maybe.... Don't know but generally idea is very positive and great.

Any progress on this one??

I'm damn sure users here will subscribe to the channel. I searched and browse some channels related to bitcointalk because lots of users upload just about anything like an introduction to bitcointalk.org and how to make copper member and so forth. But these channels are not official.

Would it be a disadvantage to the youtube channel if some bitcointalk users will bring the accusations and discussions there in the youtube comments?

I was lukewarm to the idea when it was first proposed, but I'm glad this thread got bumped.  This is one of those ideas that ended up fizzling out for whatever reason, and I do think it would be a neat idea if bitcointalk had a Youtube channel.

That's a cool idea--I'm sure this forum has some veteran members who also have extensive experience in everything it would take to pull off a YT channel.  I wish I could contribute in some way, but I'm neither interesting nor talented as far as content creation goes.  Hopefully Theymos will see this and chime in.

There's plenty of bitcoin related content on YouTube already. I think one related to the forum could be helpful, especially to Newbies. Helpful how-to videos much like the guides we already have but in video form. I'm still hoping the Newbie Welcome Message will get implemented at some point but we could include a video link there as well if someone did a video on how to get started here. Maybe there could be some cash prizes awarded for the best ones created or maybe merit dished out instead.

That statement was made nearly 2 years ago, wonder if he still has the passion to start it.

Drama is bound to happen, no matter who is chosen. Internet is just full of drama, pedophiles and memes and oh, cryptohunter(is he still here idek). SOO, you can't stop the inevitable. I guess what we could do is, have a reality check, and understand the concept of "It iz what it iz".


Yes PLEASE theymos see this! Let's do something really cool, get in the whole courses idea sorted out and upload it on udemy, have a youtube profile for bitcoin/bitcointalk related stuff. AND A TWITTER for roasting roger ver and for the memes, duh!

save 2020 pls.

Now I'm a bit sceptical about Bitcointalk Youtube channel idea. Maybe some guides, like @Steamtyme had made, would be useful. But I doubt that many newbies would be interested in it. Because personally, I never looked for a video how to use online forum.
And things like theymos said "summaries of recent high-quality" posts sound a bit boring. There is lot of things needed to do to make such content attractive. Because you can't get much views with recorded screen and some posts shown in it. It can get just few hundreds views. To make such videos more attractive additional things would be needed like images images or short videos from other resources. So, to make really good content on Bitcointalk Youtube channel, work of professional Youtuber would be needed.

A udemy course? That sound strange but potentially interesting of an idea. I'd much rather list stuff where people have to pay via watching an ad as I doubt many people would pay for a udemy course?

I had a thought about doing something with YouTube and the most notable posts voting a while back, I don't know what happened to the list though? I think steamtyme also did well with his videos so we'd have to ensure we didn't conflict.

As someone who's biased towards ltc (and no one else likes ltc) I'm happy to look over content produced to check it for bias (I assume my bullishness on btc won't interfere with that too much either).

Perhaps the reason things aren't being done is potentially down to people not knowing where to look.
We might get away with adding a thread in new forum software on active developments going on surrounding the forum (the potential ecpensipn into YouTube if it's done and how to test the new forum software).

Would anyone be interested in a forum telegram channel and potentially group chat? No idea how I'd ensure not getting a bunch of random reputation flags if I made one but as a spin off project I don't think it sounds an awful idea?
