Tweet: What is PICISI? Philanthropic Investment & Charity for Inventions, Startups, & Ideas a crowdfunding site that accepts different currencies.

PICISI (Philanthropic Investment and Charity for Inventions, Startups, and Ideas) is an ambitious crowdfunding startup that will accept all significant currency types.   This endeavor will likely change how cryptocurrency is viewed by the masses since it will enable people to see and use cryptocurrency in positive ways.

PICISI will be run with integrity, every account will be verified, and mgmt will review each campaign.   Microfunding via cryptocurrency combined with a great number of generous sponsors should result in every campaign at PICISI receiving some level of funding -- no one leaves with zero.  

PICISI will launch with the bare necessities: a simple site, a skeleton crew, and a few sponsors.   During the first 90 days our admins and recruiters will assemble a full compliment of participants from organizers and donors to sponsors and contractors; by the end of the period we expect significant growth.

At PICISI we define promotion three different ways:

1) Publicity - broadly raising site awareness to grow the audience ie: sponsors, organizers, and donors.
2) Outreach - the specific purpose of finding organizers to conduct campaigns at our site.
3) Marketing - the specific purpose of finding donors to fund campaigns at our site.

To achieve our goals the Executive Director will assemble an energetic team of professionals: Deputy Director, Assistant Director, Content Director, Promotion Director, Communications Director; in addition to Referral Agents, Promotion Contractors, and Campaign Contractors.

  • The Deputy Director -  second in command, is in charge when the Exec Dir is on vacation, incapacitated, or as directed by the Exec Dir.
  • The Assistant Director - primary task is to assist the Executive Director and the Deputy Director however at times he may also serve other directors as the need arises. [position filled]
  • The Content Director - responsible for all site content, his primary focus is quantity and quality of campaigns, secondly site usability
  • The Promotion Director - responsible for promoting the site to sponsors, organizers, donors, and media for more business.
  • The Communications Director - responsible for having our site make news somewhere around the world everyday. via press releases, articles, and interviews.
  • Referral Agent - refer people to us to do assignments, to organize campaigns, to make donations, and/or to sponsor site activity. Only registered referral agents and Admins are compensated for referring people to PICISI.
  • Promotion Contractor - select and complete PICISI publicity, marketing, and/or outreach assignments.
  • Campaign Contractor - work for organizers to create, develop, and/or promote their respective campaigns.

You are invited to help us build the PICISI community; before launch we need a minimum of 20 sponsors (currently we have 7: www.Armisgame.com, The Einsteinium News, The Einsteinium Foundation, Crypto Cloud Hosting, Sativacoin, Artsycoin, and HYPER); min 8 campaigns to crowd fund (currently we have 3), min. of 6 administrators (currently we have 2), min of 2 promotion contractors (currently we have none), min of 1 referral agent, (currently we none), min of 1 campaign contractor (currently have 3); we will also publish PICISI articles on the following subjects:
  • PICISI administration
  • Sponsorship opportunities at PICISI
  • 100+ currencies accepted at PICISI
  • PICISI assignments, and the PICISI token

On May 3rd  we received notice that Alexa.com (#1 site ranking site) ranked www.PICISI.com at ~22M. That was phenomenal news considering there is nothing at the site and we didn't ask anyone to go there.  Our plan regarding site performance was to start monitoring it after launch but since it is now listed we will start monitoring ranking.  

May  3, 2015 ranked at ~22M
May  5, 2015 rank adjusted to ~17M
May 14, 2015 rank adjusted to ~15M   Daily Pageviews per Visitor 1.00
May 29, 2015 rank adjusted to ~14M   Daily Pageviews per Visitor 1.00   [today placed site design rendering at site as of now the site will be mentioned in official articles]  
May 31, 2015 rank adjusted to ~12M   Daily Pageviews per Visitor 1.00
June  3, 2015 ranked at ~11M            Daily Pageviews per Visitor 1.30     Daily Time on Site   0:34  
June 18, 2015  although the rank has not changed from yesterday, what has changed dramatically is Bing search results.  Up to yesterday, PICISI had only 3 pages of content, today there are 20 pages of content.  This will very likely result in a rank boost.



True rank "changes" take place monthly or later, a 5M rank leap this early is an awesome sign for any site in prelaunch.

I recognize your name from the HYPER CC community, HYPERfuture has indicated a willingness to have the HYPER community represented as one of the officially affiliated CC communities.   Did you hear of the plan there?   Are you part of Team HYPER?

As one of the leaders of MAGI you know the value of creative marketing.  This project takes CC promotion to the very highest level,
not just promoting CC as a whole, but specific CCs via real life usage.   

Every time someone visits the site they see something about CC, each time they visit a campaign they will see a host fiat and a host CC,
CC sponsorship can be made via the perks, the video, and the campaign message area.

This is a major deal that will do great things for the CC industry especially the CC communities officially affiliated with the PICISI. I
encourage you to start organizing Team MAGI immediately. 






thgo to me some cathis site will enable you to promote your CC to the masses, facilities actual usage of your CC for a real life purpose, connects your
coin to specific campaigns via multiple levels of sponsorship

I saw the link on the HYPER thread, I'd assumed it was the same one HYPERfuture had been talking to me about.  I'm not part of the HYPER dev team if that's what you mean, although apparently I'm mooted to be a member of the "Hyper Foundation" when that starts (I just need to find out what that will actually entail!).

Since I'm an indiedev and blog about indiegames in general, though I've always shied away from crowd-funding for my own games, it's something I've written a lot about and of course am interested to see how it might help the indie gaming community in general.

Thanks for your message, are you currently affiliated with any particular CC community, if not you are encouraged to either
organize a team or join a team. 

Team EMC2 currently has 4 members, we want 6 other members ASAP, if you're interested you are invited to join Team EMC2
let me know.

thanks again, enjoy

You very well may be mooted onto Team HYPER as well, I don't know, but consider it an honor.   However, for clarity of message I'm asking each PICISI CF community team leader to publicly display the team roster so that everyone concerned could know who's on what teams.   

As a blogger your writing skills could produce many points for your team if you so desired. 


I just saw a game over at 'bitcoin project development' area, the dev wants to crowdsale the game, of course I have no problem that but this is part of what I said:

"... I understand that you plan to fund this via crowdsale, however I think you should also consider PICISI, it gives a whole new meaning to crowdfunding.
what you want most of all for your project is promotion, not just funding but also publicity, marketing, and outreach, right?  None of that is available at any of the existing crowdfunding site.   At sites like indiegogo and kickstarter you have to beg and fight just for search presences, but with PICISI promotion is part of the system.   When a campaign gets sponsors it behooves them to help you promote your campaign because it increases impressions for their message.  Each time a CC donation is made -- oh yeah, at PICISI, you can raise funds in multiple fiat and multiple crypto currencies ... For now PICISI is another great idea moving towards reality ...   


It's very difficult to articulate the breath of what PICISI is designed to do, but once that is done it will serve very many very well.

BTW, please feel free to post links to your site, blog, games, or whatever else, this is a mass promotion friendly thread.

CC= Crypto Currency
CC's= Crypto Currencies

I am very impressed with the work you have done so far to bring this special opportunity to the public, I believe this is exactly what the world  needs to continue to ensure CC's  continue to grow.With CC's working together to help fund new CC ventures this will allow for quicker expansion into the business world creating more exposure and increased public awareness to each of the coins involved.I look forward to helping with this project and seeing it change the way CC's are portrayed in the future.

Quick question: Being that I am from Canada may I ask why you decided not to use the Canadian currency?

Suggestions: I am 27 years old and have a slight learning disability where I find it very hard to learn from reading alone. I know there are lots of others with the same problem so having a video created to better put things into perspective for people might help out here to allow people to better understand the the multi-coin crowd funding plan your putting together.I see one person all ready posted that they did not understand. I do understand myself but still think  a video will greatly help.

Thanks Rob

I just sent you a PM, looks like at the same time you created the above message.  


There are many ways you could be involved:

1) the most profitable way is to organize a team at your favorite coin and get that team enrolled at PICISI,
it would mean that you would need to register the team, have the team qualify for enrollment, and get high points values.

once your team is enrolled your team will get 1/10 of 80% of PICISI revenue delivered in your team's native currency  

2) if you don't want to organize a team you could join a team(s)  -- I invite you to join Team EMC2
you could join multiple teams and do the type of work that you do and get your portion of revenue from each of the teams
commensurate with the work you put into each team.

3) if you look closely at the plan you will notice that I have a provision there for campaign contractors, these are
professionals like yourself who have skills that could help individual campaign organizers create, develop, and promote
their campaign(s).   Contractors with good reputations will get lots of work.

As you can see there are very many ways you could get involved.


As for the length of the material, the 3 lead-in articles would represent the "summary" versions of the plan

Thanks  for that insightful comment, regarding fiat I wanted to limit the number of fiat currencies to 5, the main reason for this is because fiat would not be automatically converted.  The rationale for the specific fiats chosen is based on popularity and location; each essentially covers a different region of the world.   Nevertheless CAD can easily get included.    

As for the video, absolutely yes, we need lots of videos videos for every single aspect of PICISI: teams, campaigns, how to do things, how things work, follow-up campaigns, and many other things.   Creation of needed videos is one of the ways teams will be able to accumulate points.   And for those who are particularly skilled they could also do it for other teams as well.

I'm starting to gather a team from the HYPER Community :)

By the way,
What exactly do contractors do?
Are they eligible to join in a coin-team or are they working for PICISI?

and can you give me an example of how they work?

Can I use my skills as a musician for being a contractor?
and if so, I'd like to be one too :)

Good question

The contractors are service professionals, they determine for themselves if they are: 'freelancers', 'independent contractors', or 'a business'.
They are not employees of PICISI; however there is a relationship and protocol that we would want respected, and because of that we classify the contractors as 'independent contractors'.   

You asked if they are eligible to join a coin-team, my immediate response would be yes, but since you asked perhaps you feel their may be some reason why that should not be the case, please share any reservation.    The work done by contractors are for campaign organizers.   

Let's say you owned XYZ video productions,  you could as a company and/or as a individual be a member of a team, and you could also be a contractor to do videos for campaigns.   As long as things are done in good faith (open and honest) there should be no problems doing anything that is reasonable and logically sound.


As for Team HYPER, this is interesting because HYPERfuture indicated his intent to organize a team from HYPER -- would that be the same team you are speaking of?

Since only one team can represent a coin, my suggestion is that you come together to form the team.   

If you don't want to be on a large size team because it would result in a smaller slice of the team pie I would suggest a different coin.

Nevertheless, I would encourage someone from HYPER to register a team.

Echoing what Small said above I'd be able to help a bit. Small can help with audio and I can do voiceovers/video as needed.  Small has a very unique sound to his mixes and I we can dig in together to help in the way we have with the HYPER community.  I have another artist named Sonic Grime as well.

My time is limited but I'm willing to do some work here and there. 

Here's a video I made with my voice:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMTt3zAJgpg

Here's a sample of my dad's voice.  He's better IMO and what you hear is straight through the mic no FX with him:

THanks for considering HYPER for this project!


Sure! I'd love to collab with you.
I've also updated the post back at the HYPER thread.

The short answer to your questions is YES

Here's the long answer:
It helps all CCs because it will have a great impact and good associations
Any CC can donate to any campaign, any CC can offer sponsorship perks, any CC can offer campaign sponsorships, and any cc can offer video sponsorships.


But it will mostly help the 10 coins directly involved because they will be getting the high volume attention, they will be the host CC sponsors (the currency that all other donated CC is converted to for that campaign), and they will get the revenue sharing.


No need to be on the outside looking in, put Team Dopecoin organized and registered.  If for whatever reason you don't want to go the team route just join up with one of the teams willing to have you.   The two registered teams in the OP have room on their teams for more people.  


Here's another way to view the plan. Imagine what 10 CC communities would do if they cooperatively ran Indiegogo and Kickstarter.  Some things would be different right?
 - we would allow for CC donations in addition to fiat donations,
 - we would encourage sponsorship everywhere we can (perks, campaign, and video),
 - we would give every member some free CC to intrigue them to learn more about the coin and to use it,
 - we would help promote the campaigns we sponsor because we want our message to be heard too,
 - we would find a way to promote the site, campaigns, all of the coins involved
 - we would share revenue between the 10 CC communities evenly
 - each community would have a minimum amount of work to do in order to get the benefits
 - we would create an admin to organize the day-to-day things,

and we would gave that CC community based crowdfunding business a name that describes who we are and what we want to do -- oh well that would be the same as them.

This is a cool idea, but TBH PICISI is not a good name i.e. not pronounceable, not memorable, not mainstream ...think of SWARM cool name.

And the coin selection process appears too stingent, overly complex and difficult to understand.  On the face of it reads like MLM.  I think a better idea would be to work with selected trusted devs and the backing of their communities will follow, then work on the branding and PR strategy as a whole.

Yes, SWARM is an excellent name, however in the context of crowdfunding how does it relate?

The name of the coop is subject to change, so if there is a better name it will be considered.   The qualities should be: available in '.com', relatively short, funny sounding, pronounceable, easy to spell, easy to recognize, hard to confuse with something else, and should refer to crowdfunding and/or cryptocurrency.


"... the coin selection process appears too stingent, overly complex and difficult to understand ... reads like MLM" 

The coin selection process is based on a couple things:
1) Reservations - 6 reserved spots, 3 caused-coins / 3 gamer-coins; both genres are a great fit for crowdfunding, they should be able to reach out to their constituency for participation.   Cause coins are always looking for donors as well as specific organizers relative to their cause to support.  And gamer coins always have writers, developers, and individuals who want to support new games.   Reservation are at the enrollment level, if for whatever reason cause-coins or gamer-coins don't register or don't qualify, then the enrollment reservations is unnecessary.

2) Performance - willingness and ability to do as promised.  Prior to ANN 14 different coin communities indicated that they like the plan and want involvement. how many of them will register, how many will qualify, and how many will get enrolled.   Everyone wants the benefits, but not everyone wants to do work necessary to get it.  The Qualifying phase of the plan shows everyone who can perform as promised.

3) Motivation -  it probably feels like it reads like a MLM because the plan is based on teamwork, it rewards performance, it encourages organization and structure, and most of all is rooted in PROMOTION (Publicity, Marketing, and Outreach).   But there's no financial investment necessary, no 'kits' to buy, no hard sales to do, and most of all no multiple compensation levels.   

I don't want it to be "overly complex or difficult to understand" in fact I want to make it as short, simple, and easy to understand as possible, which is why 3 lead-up articles were written prior to the ANN, however the plan is intrinsically complex -- tell me how to shorten it and I will.

It's a really cool idea.

Just throwing out a different name idea: CryptoPICCUP (CryptoPICCUP.com is available) - Cryptocurreny Philanthropic Investment, Charity, & Crowd-funding Unified Plan (or Program for the P?)

Cute like hiccup, and easy to say. Also sounds like "pick up", like you're raising cryptocurrencies to be worth more, not just fiat value, but worth more as in does something worthwhile like charity.

Thanks for that.   

Since the last time we communicated the scope of the project has changed greatly although the core remains the same: 'an indiegogo clone integrated with CC'. 
I'm in discussion with one of the exchanges about a special relationship, if that goes anywhere they would be pulled into the CC integration conversation.  Aside from that there are very many customizations (not indicated above) in the plans that, depending on time and costs, would be part of the end product. 

I know you are extremely busy and that your schedule is packed, however as I told HYPERfuture I will certainly invite you to bid the project and give you preference for the project.  The preference would be in the form of a 'right of first refusal' -- if someone has a materially more attractive bid then yours you would be given the opportunity to match it, essentially if all things are equal you would get the contract. 

Nevertheless, we are a ways off from that, we have the registrations and qualifiers to graduate through, somewhere during the CF campaign a budget will be finalized then bids accepted.

BTW: SWARM, had it not been taken, would have been perfect for a crowd funding platform.  It's edgy, disruptive, dynamic and memorable. And conotes collective movement, mobilization and a mass of individuals surrounding an individual.

With branding it is not always necessary to include so much information, this is sometimes counter productive and communicates less.  Emotive names, not technically descriptive names are sometimes best.

On the name subject .. PICISI is cool. Quirky but hides a serious purpose under it. Also, it's something that kind of swirls in the mind, how would I actually pronounce this? ...

Did anyone think WhatsApp, facebook?!, Flickr, indiegogo would be good names for multi bil dollar companies? Google for that matter .. misspelling of Googol, a number. I still remember 1999/2000 when was showing an elderly secretary Google, "what's that Goggley?"

SWARM .. especially in capitals does not sound very academic (can't think of a better word), more a hipster crowdswarming app .. :)

This is a cool idea, but TBH PICISI is not a good name i.e. not pronounceable, not memorable, not mainstream ...think of SWARM cool name.

And the coin selection process appears too stingent, overly complex and difficult to understand.  On the face of it reads like MLM.  I think a better idea would be to work with selected trusted devs and the backing of their communities will follow, then work on the branding and PR strategy as a whole.



Yes, SWARM is an excellent name, however in the context of crowdfunding how does it relate?

The name of the coop is subject to change, so if there is a better name it will be considered.   The qualities should be: available in '.com', relatively short, funny sounding, pronounceable, easy to spell, easy to recognize, hard to confuse with something else, and should refer to crowdfunding and/or cryptocurrency.


"... the coin selection process appears too stingent, overly complex and difficult to understand ... reads like MLM"  

The coin selection process is based on a couple things:
1) Reservations - 6 reserved spots, 3 caused-coins / 3 gamer-coins; both genres are a great fit for crowdfunding, they should be able to reach out to their constituency for participation.   Cause coins are always looking for donors as well as specific organizers relative to their cause to support.  And gamer coins always have writers, developers, and individuals who want to support new games.   Reservation are at the enrollment level, if for whatever reason cause-coins or gamer-coins don't register or don't qualify, then the enrollment reservations is unnecessary.

2) Performance - willingness and ability to do as promised.  Prior to ANN 14 different coin communities indicated that they like the plan and want involvement. how many of them will register, how many will qualify, and how many will get enrolled.   Everyone wants the benefits, but not everyone wants to do work necessary to get it.  The Qualifying phase of the plan shows everyone who can perform as promised.

3) Motivation -  it probably feels like it reads like a MLM because the plan is based on teamwork, it rewards performance, it encourages organization and structure, and most of all is rooted in PROMOTION (Publicity, Marketing, and Outreach).   But there's no financial investment necessary, no 'kits' to buy, no hard sales to do, and most of all no multiple compensation levels.  

I don't want it to be "overly complex or difficult to understand" in fact I want to make it as short, simple, and easy to understand as possible, which is why 3 lead-up articles were written prior to the ANN, however the plan is intrinsically complex -- tell me how to shorten it and I will.


It's a really cool idea.

Just throwing out a different name idea: CryptoPICCUP (CryptoPICCUP.com is available) - Cryptocurreny Philanthropic Investment, Charity, & Crowd-funding Unified Plan (or Program for the P?)

Cute like hiccup, and easy to say. Also sounds like "pick up", like you're raising cryptocurrencies to be worth more, not just fiat value, but worth more as in does something worthwhile like charity.


I don't know how I missed such a great username: MakingMoneyHoney

Here's a little more background on what we went through; many other names were toyed with some that I like a whole lot, but didn't go with because of one reason or another.   I didn't want anything that had a negative tone, I didn't want anything that was negative in any of the 10 other languages we considered, I didn't want anything that was more than 8 letters, and I didn't want anything with too many different letters.   Someone offered us "backr.io" free, but it was passed over because it wasn't '.com'.

Considering the wants and don't wants the list was boiled down to the following:
1) Angellancy
2) Angelence
3) Abajaba  
and
4) PICISI

Angelence and Angellancy were really nice but was deemed pretentious
Abajaba was, and continues to be, my favorite for many reasons: it easy to say, spelling is the same forward and backward, and best of all it actually makes you smile each time you say it.  But since we could not connect anything of substance to it, it was let go.    

although PICISI was not as funky or exotic as abajaba it edged it out because it had meaning.

Nevertheless it is NOT carved in stone.  Things don't finalize until after after Qualifying and before Enrollment.

BTW: SWARM, had it not been taken, would have been perfect for a crowd funding platform.  It's edgy, disruptive, dynamic and memorable. And conotes collective movement, mobilization and a mass of individuals sourounding an individual.

With branding it is not always necessary to include so much information, this is sometimes counter productive and communicates less.  Emotive names, not technically descriptive names are sometimes best.



Inasmuch as I sincerely appreciate the links (I read the material, thanks) the supportive documentation was unnecessary because I'm open to change and discussion.  As of right now PICISI is the name of the plan, and will likely be the name of the site, but the whole plan is in open public discussion, that means everything is subject to changes.

Sorry to hear that you will be passing up this opportunity; but thanks for the encouragement and ongoing support.

Hopefully you will be able to join us at phase 2.

Hi,

i would like to join / help the team from Camorracoin, but i have to agree with others that i still don't fully understand what is actually required to do from us...also agree with the name change  ;)




1) The Name - the name is open to change but in order for it to change someone has got to come up with something that make everyone happy.  As I indicated the qualities should be: available in '.com', relatively short (~8 letters), funny sounding, pronounceable, easy to spell, easy to recognize, hard to confuse with something else, great if regarding crowdfunding and/or cryptocurrency; additionally nothing with a negative tone, or that translated negatively in any other language and if possible not too many different
letters.  If the name could make you smile when said that is good too.




2) Understanding PICISI - at this point my job is to have everyone that wants to understand PICISI to be able to understand it.  So I'm willing to do all that I can to help you.
As I explain it more and more I will eventually find shorter and easier ways to explain it.  The easiest way I am currently explaining it is:

Imagine what 10 CC communities would do if they cooperatively ran Indiegogo and Kickstarter.
 - we would allow for CC donations in addition to fiat donations,
 - we would encourage sponsorship everywhere we can (perks, campaign, and video),
 - we would give every member some free CC to intrigue them to learn more about the coin and to use it,
 - we would help promote the campaigns we sponsor because we want our message to be heard too,
 - we would find a way to promote the site, campaigns, all of the coins involved
 - we would share revenue between the 10 CC communities evenly
 - each community would have a minimum amount of work to do in order to get the benefits
 - we would create an admin to organize the day-to-day things,


That will give you a basis of what the plan is.  The detail and breakdown of each of those we can go though if you wish, but if you read
the following 3 short articles you will get some of the same info from a different perspective.

http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/10-cryptocurrency-communities-unite-form-powerful-crowdfunding-platform/
http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/cryptocurrency-angels-host-crowdfunding-cooperative/
http://www.coinfinance.com/news/picisi-a-mutli-coin-community-crowdfuning-cooperative-plan


It's easier for me to address very specific questions because I don't need to repeat info that is already known.

Please ask whatever you want because, my guess is if you have a question about anything many others have the same
question but just didn't ask for whatever reason.  

Your questions help me to explain thing various ways until connection are made and we achieve the 'a ha' moment(s).

Bumbacoin, thanks for your broad support and fondness of the PICISI name.

Your involvement is important, as an individual and as a community, but particularly as a community.   Sure it is expected that you would form your team from your own community, but there are individuals who will want to join your team because of the individual benefits.   Did you notice the guy that posted the article directly above your post?
I don't think he is associated with any community, yet his is obviously talented and has writing, publishing, and multi-language resources, that's a great person to try to get on your team.   If you don't have many people on your team, and your team does the minimum required you get your due payout that you don't have many people to split it with.

Anyway let me layout some ways for you to consider involvement:

1) Team Leader - organize and form Team Bumbacoin
2) Team Member - if you don't want to manage a team, I invite you to join Team EMC2 we have room for you.  We expect to have 10 members so each person will be expected to produce a minimum of 100 points (assignment wk hrs) per month.  It's a low work threshold, and because the team is so large the slice of the pie is relatively small.   Other teams, I'm sure, will also be glad to have you.
and
3) Supportive Volunteer - this is essentially where you would help where you can and let us know so we could show our appreciation,



I also have a limited number of Admin spots that will go to people who are very knowledgeable about the plan, very motivated, and extremely helpful to everyone that seek assistance.

That is certainly a possibility, each person in Admin must be very knowledgeable about the plan, skilled in their tasked duty, and extremely helpful to everyone that seek assistance.  Your self-motivated action taking initiative with that assignment is exactly the type of qualities needed in PICISI Admin.   

Appointment will be made at the end of the team Qualifying stage, those who stand out doing what they like to do will be offered specific appointments.

At the end of the Registration stage I might post an 'Admin candidates' list so that everyone could-weigh in as they see fit.  In the end, no one should be surprise at who is appointed because every admin will have earned their right to be there.

Admins are permitted and encouraged, but not required, to be additionally affiliated with an enrolled team.

Please start or join a team.

PICISI as initially designed would actually make millions if the coins involved actually performed as prescribed.  When the articles were written, everyone was pleased and wanted to be on board.  However what I didn't know was that 90% of the people that responded only read a fraction of the material and assumed the rest:  some thought it was simply a place where their coin could be used, but it is far more than that; some thought it was a place where they could advertise their coin, it is far more than that too;  and a few even thought it was a site where they could crowdfund their projects, but it is far more than that too.   The bottom line however is that it was grossly misunderstood across the board.

I will be developing a crowdfunding site soon, contact me via PM if anyone is interested in working at the site.
