Postponed as of 6.9.2022.
Reason: Incognito has a lot of awesome and major new features rolling out very soon. If we stick to the original timeline of releasing this video, it is extremely possible the video would be outdated within a few weeks or months. We have therefore decided to postpone this video until these new features are released.
What is Incognito?
The short answer to this question is Incognito is Privacy for Crypto. The long answer is not so straightforward.
For most of us, Incognito is easy to understand, as we have been around long enough to understand the ins and outs. However, this is not so easy for a new user to answer.
On the first visit to our website, our Twitter profile, or forum new users are left to comb through many posts to piece together how exactly Incognito is a benefit. Our whitepaper has a ton of rich detailed information but can be lengthy and the average user will not take the time to read it. Many users end up asking the same questions via our Telegram group, which can at best be repetitive and go unanswered at worst.
What is the fastest way to deliver information?
Answer: Video
Incognito Introductory Video 
I am suggesting a 2 - 5 minute video to explain an overview of Incognito in the style of ELI5 (Explain Like I’m 5). This video will ideally be displayed on the main page of Incognito.org and our YouTube channel. This will allow new users to get a quick overview and provide a convenient resource for users who are referring others to Incognito.
This video will take a while to produce as it will not be in the simple slideshow style like our App Tutorial videos.

Voice-over Artist
The team has set a budget of $150 to be used to have a voice-over artist narrate our script in a professional, crisp, and clean manner. I have previously used Fiverr.com with good results. Some of these artists on Fiverr have done jobs for large reputable brands in the USA and most have full recording studios with high fidelity microphones. During June 6 - 10, I will create a poll on the forum and ask the community which artist they feel we should hire.
