nChain’s Jimmy Nguyen and Craig Wright Appointed to New Roles for Bitcoin SV Growth

$

nChain, the blockchain research and development firm, announces that two of its leaders, Jimmy Nguyen and Dr. Craig S. Wright, have been appointed to new additional roles to support global growth of Bitcoin SV (BSV). Emerging from the November 15, 2018 contentious hard fork of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), BSV now is a separate chain and token that fulfils the original Satoshi Vision for Bitcoin: restore the original Bitcoin protocol, keep it stable, and enable massive on-chain scaling. Nguyen and Wright will devote increasing time to external efforts to achieve global adoption and enterprise-level usage for Bitcoin SV.

Nguyen joins the bComm Association as Founding President. The first-ever organization dedicated to bCommerce (Bitcoin commerce), the bComm Association brings together developers, merchants, exchanges, miners and other Bitcoin network participants. Nguyen will head the industry group as it provides global support for Bitcoin SV, as the key to long-term financial success for all participants in the inter-related Bitcoin ecosystem.

Through the bComm Association, Nguyen will expand his efforts educating about why massive on-chain scaling through Bitcoin SV is important not just for merchants and application developers, but also for the mining industry. In 2020, Bitcoin’s block reward will halve to 6.25 coins, and then halve again every several years thereafter. To make up for the reduced block reward value, miners need to earn more in transaction fees, which requires much higher volumes of transactions with different types:  simple payments, tokens, smart contracts, and others. Huge transaction volume will require gigabyte size and bigger blocks. It also needs a stable protocol for businesses to feel confident using the Bitcoin blockchain for enterprise applications. Bitcoin SV is the only blockchain with a roadmap to achieve these goals, and to ensure the mining industry is profitable so miners provide computing power and security to sustain the Bitcoin network for all other users. 

In addition, as announced by Squire Mining Ltd., both Nguyen and Wright have been appointed as inaugural members of a new Advisory Board for Squire. Through its subsidiaries, Canadian-based Squire is engaged in the business of developing data mining infrastructure and system technology in the mining space, including ASIC chips and next generation mining rigs. 

Furthermore, both Nguyen and Wright will serve on a new Strategic Advisory Board created for nChain Group. By serving in strategic advisory roles for both nChain Group and Squire, Nguyen and Wright are reflecting the need for more collaboration among different parts of Bitcoin’s ecosystem. Wright will continue his work as nChain’s Chief Scientist, as well as work to promote Bitcoin education.

Stefan Matthews, Chairman of the Board for nChain Group (and also for Squire), explains:

“Bitcoin SV and the bComm Association are critical to drive the success of the mining industry and other participants in the Bitcoin network. That is why we enthusiastically support Jimmy Nguyen’s work as Founding President of the bComm Association and as global ambassador for Bitcoin SV. Jimmy is one of the best voices in the world for Bitcoin, and communicates especially well to the business community. Craig Wright has unparalleled understanding of Bitcoin’s technical and economic workings, and offers the most powerful vision for its future potential. Together, Jimmy and Craig provide a strong combination for strategic guidance that will benefit not just nChain but also the entire Bitcoin SV ecosystem.”

As it grows, the bComm Association will call for financial support from more companies – especially miners and mining hardware companies who benefit from a massively scaled Bitcoin SV blockchain. The organization will also expand to invite major businesses who want to use the Bitcoin SV blockchain for enterprise-level applications.

ABOUT NCHAIN: 

nChain is the global leader in research and development of blockchain technologies. Its mission is to enable massive growth and worldwide adoption of the Bitcoin network – focusing on Bitcoin SV (BSV) as the original Bitcoin which will fulfil the Satoshi Vision.

Newton, KS – December 13, 2018 – Wray Roofing, Inc., of Newton, Kansas, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Wray Roofing as one of the “elite of the elite” commercial roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Select(TM) Contractors can compete for its commercial President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a commercial roofing contractor must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways:

Performance pathway – where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection

Reliability pathway – where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection

Service pathway – where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

To become a Master Select(TM) Contractor–a status that less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must demonstrate proper licensing (in states that require it), maintain insurance, have a proven reputation, and show commitment to ongoing professional training.

“We value our certified contractors for raising the industry standard year after year by installing the best roofing products and systems. Our President’s Club award recognizes only those contractors who have distinguished themselves by the highest standards of excellence, customer satisfaction, and dependability,” says Jim Slauson, GAF’s VP of Certified Program & Services.

L’Tanya Leone Publishes Long Awaited Children’s Book –“CIRCUS” Receiving Critical Acclaim

$

“In an age where kids are exposed to all sorts of negative news and programming, it is a delight to actually find literary materials that will help create positive imagery and enforce positive values in our youth.”
– Steven Stanley, PR Advisor

Palm Springs, California – December 13, 2018 – L’Tanya Leone’s long-awaited children’s book, “CIRCUS” has finally been re-released and hit the shelves of Amazon. Its acceptance has been phenomenal. “CIRCUS” is described as a great children’s book because it not only provides excitement and suspense, but it ensures that young audiences understand the importance of self- worth, perseverance and many other obstacles they will encounter as an individual in today’s society. The author makes it clear that children’s books can be more than glorified comic books. 

Readers of “CIRCUS” have consistently commented that as they read the book, they felt connected to the author as if the she was in the room reading it to them. Circus is a science-fiction chapter book that young ones are sure to get hooked on to. The perfect gift. Great for Children ages 8-12. 

The story opens with the main characters, Asa and Tana, who loved living in their small town called Seward and most of all they enjoyed going to their favorite park. Only there was one teeny weeny problem in the park, and it was at the edge of the woods watching and waiting for them to come closer. As the story develops, more characters are introduced, such as the “Bully”, but the excitement really builds as the “Stranger” is introduced to the reader. 

There is an excellent review by noted Child Well-Being Expert and Author, Dr. Sheryll Kraizer Ph.D., who made these comments during a recent interview, “This is a thoroughly delightful book, suitable for the upper elementary to adolescent reader. It is science fiction, adventure and imagination gone a little wild. The writing is authentic and riveting. The author uses a narrator who pops in from time to time as a powerful device that creates tension and keeps the reader moving along. It is not obviously about bullies but develops a consistent theme about how young people treat each other.” Dr. Kraizer has placed “CIRCUS” on her website as a resource for her readers.

She has an extensive background with children, her website is www.safechild.org

The most important reader testimonials are from the kids themselves. Here are some comments from young readers of “CIRCUS”: 

“I really like this book. It was scary, and funny.”

“The scary Stranger was really spooky, now I keep my light on when I go to bed.”

“CIRCUS” was funny, and scary. I thought the bully was a chicken. I was bullied at school, and Scooter reminds me of the bully at my school.”

“This story reminds me of when my brother and I always got in trouble. It was really funny.”

“My favorite part was when they spent the night at Pumpkins house, and the Stranger showed up.”

“We have a bully like Scooter at my school. I wish he would run into the Stranger.”

From a parent: “I like the many messages in this book. Reading this to my daughter was fun, and enjoyable. We are waiting for the next book to come out!”

L’Tanya Leone is a former educator who received her B.S. Degree in Education from Concordia Teacher’s University. She currently resides in Southern California.

How Atlanta Businesses Can Maximize Outdoor Sign Effectiveness

$
0
0

Atlanta, GA – Dec 13, 2018 – A popular misconception about outdoor advertising is that it brings instant results. While it’s true that 50% of customers step inside a business because of the onsite sign, you need the right outdoor sign in order to realize a maximum ROI.

No matter how much you spend on outdoor signs, if they aren’t custom-crafted to meet your needs, they probably won’t do much for your business. In order for outdoor signage to be effective, it should be carefully selected, designed, and installed strategically.

We asked Mark Rawlings of Capstone Signs & Graphics, an Atlanta outdoor signs company, to share a few things that businesses need to keep in mind when ordering and choosing effective outdoor signs.

1. The Right Sign Type

There are many types of exterior signs you can use to promote and identify your business. Choosing the right one for you will depend on your brand personality, physical location, visibility goals, and budget.

Attractive storefront signs are the first place many businesses start with building their brand. Channel letters and individual cut letters are typically the most popular choice for storefronts, along with sign panels and lighted cabinet signs. Monument signs, pole signs, post and panel signs, a-frame signs, banners, and more, can also support your brand development and marketing goals.

There are so many outdoor signs to choose from,you’re sure to have a sign type out there that’s perfect for your brand identity, business goals, and budget. A reliable outdoor signage company can definitely help find that exact sign type for you. With the guidance of a sign expert, your business can have the most effective sign type for the most reasonable price.

2. Professional Sign Design

Some business owners think that designing signs by themselves will save them some money, but it might just be doing the opposite.

Sign design is a lot more technical and meticulous that we think. Font types, graphics, layout, size, colors, and so many other factors determine the success of a sign design. While everyone is an artist to a certain degree, it’s better if we leave sign design to the experts than end up with an ineffective and unattractive sign.

The good news, though, is that a local outdoor sign and graphics provider will likely have its own team of graphic artists who specialize in custom-crafting sign design, so you don’t have to worry about that. You can have high-quality signs with high-quality designs from one provider.

3. Sign Placement

Repetition is a very effective technique when it comes to getting your brand message across. Customers generally have to be exposed to your message around seven times before any lasting impression is made. It’s not enough that you get great signs with great designs, it’s also vital that your target audience easily sees and remembers your signs.

Sign placement strategies ensure your target market has a clear line of sight to your outdoor signs. Checking for obstructions, finding out if the lighting is a problem, figuring out where foot traffic is heaviest, etc, determine appropriate placement. It’s also important to make sure that your sign placement complies with zoning and building regulations.

With a trusted local signage provider, proper placement is easy. Experienced signage specialists and expert sign installers know how to give your outdoor signs the most visibility and impact.

Local Atlanta Outdoor Sign Company

Don’t settle for just any outdoor sign, go for one that’s customized to meet your objectives, target your audience, and fit your budget. You can start by choosing the right sign type, getting a professional design, and securing the most ideal sign location.

If you’re thinking “I wish I could find a reliable Atlanta sign company near me”, drop by Capstone Signs & Graphicsfor a free consultation on how effective outdoor signs can help your business earn more.

San Antonio, TX – Dec 13, 2018 – First impressions last, every business owner knows this. The moment customers step inside your facility, your immediate goal is to assure them that they came to the right place.

This means that in the first few moments that they’re in your lobby, they have to know what your business is about and the quality of service you can offer them. What better way to do this than with a beautiful lobby sign that clearly conveys your brand message?

David Thompson of Digital Banners Plus, a San Antonio lobby signs company, has been in the sign-making industry for a long time and he believes that lobby signs are a reflection of what your business stands for and the quality of service you provide. He shares three easily accessible sign materials that can help your lobbies give the best first impression.

1. Metal

Durable, stylish, and versatile, metal offers businesses a lot when it comes to lobby sign options. Metal gives your lobby a distinctly sophisticated look, exuding modernity and professionalism.

Metal can be given a polished, brushed, or satin finish and can be combined with other nonmetal materials for a more detailed effect. It goes perfectly well on dimensional letters and logos (even those with simplistic designs). Metal lobby signs come in following varieties:

  • Aluminum
  • Stainless steel
  • Brass
  • Bronze
  • Copper

So if you want your business lobby to communicate a sense of elegance and style, metal lobby signs by a trusted indoor signs provider is the ideal choice for you.

2. Wood

Wood is not the most common choice for business owners, and this only adds to its superior appeal. Classic, elegant, and rich, wood definitely stands out and catches attention.

Wooden lobby signs can come in a variety of forms including sandblasted panes, dimensional letters, combined with metal, combined with acrylic, plain-edged, bevel-edged, etc. They can even be stained to the wood color that you desire.

For business owners looking to convey timelessness, wisdom, and charm, a custom-crafted lobby sign made of wood is an excellent choice.

3. Vinyl

Vinyl is one of the most economical materials for lobby signs, but don’t let the price fool you. Vinyl is a popular choice because of its versatility, practically unlimited color options, and ability to deliver intricate designs.

Vinyl graphics can come in full-color digital prints so that the lobby sign matches the exact appearance your brand identity requires. They can also be die-cut to the exact shape that you want, which is very useful for businesses that want to have their logos replicated and displayed in the lobby.

If you’re aiming to have a lot more freedom and color options for your lobby sign design, vinyl can be a great (and affordable) option. It’s important, though, that you get your vinyl lobby signs done by an established signage provider that has the necessary equipment and experienced manpower to professionally design, print, and install the signs.

Vinyl Signs & Graphics: 3 Details That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Ontario, Canada – Dec 13, 2018 – Since it’s introduction to the world in the mid-1900s, vinyl signs have steadily become the most commonly used solutions for advertising and marketing. From banners to vehicle wraps, window decals and even billboards, vinyl is still increasing in popularity, even in today’s digital media dominated world.

Vinyl graphics are lightweight, economical, and quick-to-produce, so it’s not a surprise that both businesses and consumers find them to be attractive advertising options. However, portability, cost, and turnaround time aren’t the only things to look for and consider when finding the ideal vinyl signs.

We spoke with Tim & Elayne Parr at SignEdge, an Ontario vinyl signs and graphics company, and they shared three important items customers often overlook when considering vinyl signs.

1. Embrace Full Color

One reason why vinyl signs are so popular is the fact that you can take any design you want, have them printed on vinyl, and voila! You can instantly bring them to life. With all the technology in vinyl material and digital printing, you don’t have to worry much if a design is “too detailed” or “too difficult to reproduce.”

Historically, vinyl signs have been produced by layering cut vinyl shapes or panels to create an image or effect, similar to a mosaic. However, with new sign and graphic technology now available, full-color signs, graphics, and images can be printed directly onto a vinyl substrate, making it faster and easier to dependably replicate complex designs with this long-lasting and versatile medium.

2. Reusability

Vinyl, because of its affordability, is commonly used to make signs with temporary purposes. They are quick to produce and easy to replace. Vinyl is also very good for long-term use because it is durable, easily maintained, and easily stored.

Vinyl banners, for example, don’t necessarily have to be replaced frequently. You can have them in retractable banner stands instead. Easy to store, transport, and set up, they can be perfect for future use. For outdoor business signs, vinyl also makes for excellent backlit sign boards on pole and pylon signs.

By ordering your vinyl signs from a full-service sign company specializes in vinyl signs, you can fully experience the benefits of vinyl’s versatility and durability, whether you need them for short-term or long-term use.

3. Finishing Options

Vinyl banners are highly customizable, including how they can be hung, displayed, and installed. And this is where finishing options come in. Some of us don’t put much thought into the banner’s finishing once the printing phase, not realizing that this part actually contributes to how long your banner will stay effective and in place.

Grommets are a finishing option that’s usually made of metal and placed in the corners of the banners. They act as anchor points for banners that are to be hung, suspended, or pulled tight. Hemming your banner’s edges is another option. It increases durability and helps avoid tearing and fraying when your banner is being hung or displayed.

There are more finishing options to choose from and it would be best to speak with your signage specialist about which options would be best for your vinyl banner’s purpose, location, and design.

With vinyl signs easily accessible and reasonably priced, it won’t be long before you’ll find yourself needing one for your business. And when you’re in the process of selecting one, always remember that there’s more to it than just portability, price, and speed. You also have to look at other important details such as ink compatibility, reusability, and finishing.

Commercial Sign Mistakes Long Beach Business Owners Should Avoid

Long Beach, CA – Dec 13, 2018 – Business owners all over the US know that signs influence their customers’ purchasing decisions. This is exactly why almost all the businesses we see have some form of commercial signage outside, inside, or near their facility. However, even when some businesses have commercial signs, they still struggle with new customer generation.

Why? Not all signs are created equal. You don’t just need a sign, you need the right sign for your brand, location, and goals.

We reached out to Harvey Toyama of Exemplar Signs & Graphics, a Long Beach commercial sign company, and he says that the lack of “success” often ties back to a few easily corrected factors. Harvey shares three common signage pitfalls that negatively impact many business owners.

1. Choosing a design they like over a design that works.

In order for a commercial sign to work, it needs to speak the specific brand message to the specific target audience, and convince them to respond in a specific manner. And all this needs to take place within a few moments.

Business sign design isn’t exactly as simple as many of us think it is. It requires a lot of talent, art, and experience. While it’s true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the design you find nice or attractive may not be the most effective one for your brand.

What you can do, though, is partner with a trusted signage provider and work closely with its team of graphic designers. They are experienced in the art of sign design and can also give the necessary guidance and input you need.

2. Too much DIY.

Over the past few years, the do-it-yourself (DIY) practice has gained popularity. From arts and crafts to home improvement, more people are picking up the tools instead of paying someone else to do it.

Some business owners are doing this on their commercial signs as well. While it’s great that they want to put a personal touch to their signs, DIY-ing also runs a risk of ending up with an ineffective sign, and may even cost you more in sales than in savings.

Creating your own signs can often lead to missed opportunity, and may even end up costing you more in time, effort, and materials. A signage professional will ensure your sign is not only effective but cohesive with your brand and complementing your storefront and other signage elements.

Before you get carried away with doing everything yourself, talk to a sign specialist first for some insight and advice on how you can give your signs a personal touch without making any compromises.

3. Slacking off on sign repairs and maintenance.

Your sign reflects the quality of service your business provides. You can imagine what passersby and potential customers would feel if they see your commercial signs dirty, unfixed, and missing a few parts.

Broken signs can be quite a customer repellant, and can possibly drive away even the most curious/interested potential customers. So if there are any missing bulbs, chipped off paint, torn sections on your sign, getting them fixed ASAP would be the best move.

A reliable sign company usually has a sign crew that you can contact for fixes and maintenance work; contact one in your area to keep your sign looking fresh and new.

Long Beach Commercial Sign Company

There are a lot of things that business owners need to watch out for when it comes to their commercial signs. The good news is that if they partner with the right sign company, they’ll be leaving the work to the experts. From sign design, production, and maintenance, they’re in good hands.

3 Promotional Sign Tips for Inland Empire Businesses

Inland Empire – Dec 13, 2018 – Choosing the perfect promotional signs is no easy feat. Sometimes a simple off-the-shelf sign just isn’t enough to effectively increase brand awareness, invite customers, make some sales, and ultimately, create brand loyalty.

We reached out to Dave Prieto of Precision Sign & Graphics, an Inland Empire promotional sign company for advice. He provides three simple reminders for when you decide to get promotional signs for your business.

1. Be seen.

Visibility is vital when it comes to promotion. Your target audience needs to see your signs before they can proceed with anything else about your promotion. Make sure that you have a prime space that you can install, hand, or place your sign.

Not only must your sign be visible, it also needs to be readable, which is why sign size, legibility, placement, and lighting are very important.

It’s always a good idea to work with an established business signage provider who can give you the best options for your promotional signs. They are also highly trained and experienced with sign legibility and placement guidelines in varying situations, so your sign’s visibility is one thing you don’t have to worry about.

 2. Be attractive.

Once you get your sign seen, it’s important that you hold your audience’s attention… and you do this through effective and attractive sign design. Designing promotional signs for businesses is a very careful craft. It requires meticulously choosing the right material, color combination, font style, font size, layout, spacing, etc.

For business owners who don’t have much experience in promotional sign design, “winging it” could be quite counterproductive. And when they’re ineffective, promotional signs end up to be expenses instead of investments.

To make sure that you have promotional signs that are not only visible but are also visual representations of your brand, partner with a promotional sign company that specializes in custom-crafting signs according to your unique brand identity, objectives, and budget.

3. Be convincing.

Now that you have your audience’s attention, the next part is introducing them to your promotion—sales, discount, new products, gimmicks, etc. And it is during this part that you get the opportunity to finally win them over and convince them to respond the way you want them to.

You can’t do this by letting potential customers read a lengthy explanation of what you have in store for them… that’s only going to drive them away. What you need to do is keep your content brief and to the point, as well as have a strong call to action.

Marketing and sign specialists are experts when it comes to creating sign content that elicit the desired customer response. By working closely with them, you have the best chances of bringing customer footfall into your business.

With the perfect combination of good visibility, good design, and good content, you can have a highly effective promotional sign that produces great results.
