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.





__________________________







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.   

PICISI would be interested in buying Coinnext.com as a turnkey operation, no need for customer files.

Let me know if you are interested.

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.

PICISI is a startup crowdfunding site we are looking for different specialists to help us create and develop the website:

How To Become A Registered PICISI Contractor (http://coinblab.com/blogs/700/74/how-to-be-a-picisi-contractor)

PICISI is a multi-coin community crowdfunding coop plan that is presently in public discussion.

A small part of the plan involves campaign contractors, who may classify themselves as freelancers, independent contractors, or a business.

Campaign contractors work for campaign organizers to help create, develop, and promote the organizer's campaign(s).  

As you can see many different specialists could find assignments in our system, for example:

-  writers
-  video producers
-  video editors
-  campaign page editor
-  artists
-  musicians
-  voice over artists
-  social media experts
-  marketing pros
-  sponsorship brokers

etc ...

Here's a link to the PICISI plan: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=957862.msg10480525#msg10480525  
I would suggest you peak you head in and announce your skills so that those interested in the plan see you as
a possible resource.

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.

wow, that's great news, far overdue, glad it finally happened

congratulations

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.  

wow, that's really, really nice

neat clean creative clear and cogent 

good work

Pimpcash is the king of promotion.  You read about PICISI, you indicated that it sounds good and that you might be interested in getting more involved, well we are now accepting team registrations.   Since I didn't see you at the PICISI thread I thought I would come by and ask you to think about a few things:

I'm asking coin communities to imagine what they would do if they ran Indiegogo and Kickstarter with 9 other cryptocurrency communities,
and I'm asking them to describe how they would do things differently, here is what we came to:

 - 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. 

I don't know what name you would want and I don't know how would be a fair split arrangement to you but
PICISI is an alright name, and 80% of profits split evenly between all teams sounds really good.  so the question is

Why is PIMP not currently registered with PICISI?

Let me know if Poloniex is interested in being one of the official sponsors of PICISI:

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.

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.
  

C-Cex is specifically requesting more EMC2 trading engagement take place at their site.  

Please consider them, their prices are very low and service very good.

If activity isn't increased at their site we may lose the opportunity to enjoy those
rates and services.




________________________________






Thanks for your question, my guess is many others feel the same way but haven't asked. Please take a look at this list:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=957862.msg10480554#msg10480554

If you can do anything on that list it will help the team, and you on the team, get points.  

If you think you can do things to help Team EMC2 do work for PICISI that is not already on the list tell me what that is
so that it could be considered for inclusion.  

I suspect that list to be twice as long in the coming weeks so that teams will have lots of opportunities to earn points.

Let's start this way, you tell me which specific item on the list you want to do, I will put that on a pledge list, this will
tell everyone what you indicated you would do for the team,  when the assignment is done and certified as acceptable,
you and the team get the points.  

Your skills could be used in very many ways, I invite you to consider the following:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=957862.msg10480525#msg10480525

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.
 







 

There are plenty of cause-coins you might be interested in partnering with.  EMC2 is one of about 8 on this site.

This topic has been moved to Project Development

I tried to boil 30 pages of material into 3. Hopefully it's a little easier to understand after reading the 3 short lead-in articles:

1)  http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/10-cryptocurrency-communities-unite-form-powerful-crowdfunding-platform/

____________________






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

The multi-coin community crowdfunding coop plan is completed, the ANN is here:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=957862.msg10480525#msg10480525

The actual plan is 30+ pages long, boiled it down, perhaps too much.   

If you have any questions feel free to ask here, there, or via PM.  HBN had a head start, I hope you took advantage of it, it's going to get competitive in the coming days.
