What would make you join a new community as well as here?

[harizen]

What would motivate you to want to join a different community that focused on tech/crypto etc?  Would it be ways to practically make money, or do you care more about the community and social aspect?

I'm in the process of redesigning a community and would love to know more about the kinds of things people would like to see that are not currently available and maybe I can build for you.

I'm considering integrating a community with a lot of tools like an automatic ICO, IEO & STO alert as soon as any new token sales are created.  Also tools for large movements of cryptocurrency, pump alerts etc built into the community.  What do you think?  What would you like to see?

Honestly, it's not always about making a money scheme for why people join a certain community or forum but also "interest". Back then, I didn't even know such a system exist in a forum. I've been involved in a different types of forum subject, general, family-oriented, business, bicycles, anime, pets, toys or even those forums with only less active users, etc. for over a decade now so when I enter crypto world, the first thing I search if there's a community or forum about this.

People, as long as they see that your forum is worth to visit, surely they will come and read the contents here. Money-making is just a bonus.

Anyways, with the subject, you want to integrate, I think people nowadays aren't that interested anymore in ICO, IEO and STO things so I believed it's not a good idea. And for pump alerts, honestly, only a few do have an interest in that. As time goes by, people now realizing that there's no such thing as legit pump signal providers.

But it doesn't mean you must not push your idea. If you are really eager you can test the waters and see the result for yourself. Of course, you have to accept whatever the result is despite the effort you will apply to build it.

Out of curiosity what's your thoughts on the idea of an open source community, like pretty extreme shared governance sort of thing - voting on all significant decisions for the community etc

Every vote being binding would likely be impossible. There's a ton of good suggestions here that never get implemented. I'm sure plenty are straightforwardly ignored for no convincing reason but we don't know how hard some others are to put into action. What seems a piece of piss on the surface might be a site breaker. Someone has to put the notion into actual action.

And since crypto is so tribal and mindless there's a strong chance of one tribe descending and shouting down all the others. Then again you could play with a forum equivalent of proof of stake. If the seniority of your rank gave your vote a greater weight it would go a long way towards making it saner.

NEM uses proof of importance. The accounts with the greatest weight in decision making are the ones considered most active and useful to the network rather than the biggest ones.

You could have something similar to the Swiss referendum system where if enough signatures are obtained you're obliged to hold one by law which would cut down on the plainly crap proposals.

Could make for a very interesting experiment and if it was designed carefully enough it could be fully sustainable without the need for a heavy hand.

This might actually be the answer I was looking for from creating this thread - the idea of filtering a majority of the bullshit with a Swiss referendum and then using something similar to proof of importance sounds like a potentially solid governance system.  Like you mentioned, with the right design it could be fairly autonomous in how it's carried out as well, and to my knowledge there's no other online community that operates like that.

I think some time would need to be taken to make sure that, as you pointed out, everything doesn't meltdown because of self/group self-interest and tribalism, also that decisions which are clearly trolling and/or fatally-damaging to the community aren't able to be implemented.  It serves no-ones purpose to be so liberal in how governance is managed to allow for malicious actions to be possible.

Possibly that could be one of the virtues of owning the token I've set up as well, and possibly the token could be a tokenized representation of the importance of actions that are performed, as long as people can't just game token production in order to have controlling voting power.

But then that's where status can come into play as a modifier for voting, probably with an exponential relationship between status points and influence when voting so that there's a higher barrier to have more influence and that those who have it have had to provide substantially more positive activity in order to get there than others.

Appreciate the input on this Gent, if you don't mind once I've got something close to a blueprint of this I might run it by you to get your thoughts

Thank you for a really well thought out answer, and I'm 100% with you on your sentiments about the time of token sales moving on.

Really the idea for adding that was more to provide value tools for some people, and apart from that the rest of the forum is more generally about technologies and their impact instead of anything to do with token sales.

In my opinion a new community could be desirable only if it brings some unique value.
Crypto community in Twitter for instance gives me the fastest news and quick responses.
This forum brings the most qualified users together.
Unfortunately, I can't help you make up such unique value from top of my head. But I hope you get the point
