IOTA testing of 0.9.17 http://forum.iotatoken.com/t/iota-testing-of-0-9-17-has-commenced/274/1By @CfB : "Added human-compatible representation of the transactions history, now instead of your own address you will see counterparty's address (or "..." if there are several addresses). Amounts were changed in a similar way. Your address is seen only for transfer with zero amount."

Suggestion (not vital, but anyway): What if each 5% (or plus) Foundation contributor earned the "title" (badge, class, or whatever) of "IOTA Foundation Member" (or "IOTA Foundation Contributor" ...)... i love this That's a damn good idea. To be quite serious, "premiums" (recognition) for donators is a mainstay of PBS fundraising. It really works!

This whole debate seems pointless to me. Of course it will get funded! Once it is live and on an exchange those horrible and greedy speculators (i.e. people) will make sure it is funded. Think about it for a second. All you have to do is wait for the price to drop with that uncertainty post launch. The more doubt, the lower the value of the iotas everyone holds, the more they can continue to donate with a lower perceived fiat value. If I gave 1btc at ico, that is now worth 20 btc, so my 5% feels like a 1btc donation. If there is great uncertainty and iota value falls back to market cap of $500k as we all jump ship then those who do hold the bags will face an much easier decision, where donating 5% of what they have (regardless of what they've given before) will now seem tiny and the only way to get their coin to rocket again. If you are prepared to keep the funding open post launch with no defined or public 'closing date' to hit that 5% then I don't see how you can fail to hit it within a month or two. Someone will be left holding the bags and they won't want them to go to zero, they will want the magic bullet that sends them rocketing again . I'd just chill out and launch the ship with full gui and donate button there until target is reached.... the foundation will get its 5% within a month (maybe two) imo because the holders will want it to go up and they will be impatient. People are more greedy than they are selfish and stupid, although we are all obviously all three some of the time .

so despite all the controversy around my recent post, let's be blunt and clear, this is beta plan (aka back up plan when we as a community fail to establish a properly funded foundation).
1)iota 1.0 is launched. software prepurchased is delivered as promised. done deal to those who whine that they paid for this, certainly we all did.
2)those who wish (and have already done so by donating more than 5% or have not made a claim but wish to 5% of their claimable allocated to the foundation) to form a well funded foundation with the current vision for IOTA project that cfb and David are seeing, please stand up.
3)Regarding those who have purchases iotas on the secondary market, i believe that we can have them transferred over at no tax (or we would refuse their generosity). So the above mentioned filter will only be applicable to genesis iota claimers.
4)we will go to iota 1.1 (or better 2.0) together.
5)those who wish to go the other way of a directionless project, go ahead with their bags.
do not flame me for saying this, i am just being blunt trying to make it crystal clear and offering a way out for everyone.
tl,dr; I am not threatening any single one, everyone is free to voice their opinions and if a large enough number of people agree with an idea, we will have "the main chain" : )
so be generous and worry not of the freerider problem, but do what we think is right and best for IOTA project then people with the same goal can always sort it out together.
Stay cool,
just to clear up some confusions: 1) I am in no way associated with cfb or david, except for the fact that we share certain similar goals on getting a certain project/idea to be the backbone of the iot ecojomy. 2) my opinion is of my own. 3) noone is threatening anyone, not even an implied threat was meant. because we are working in this open source environment. (i.e anyone was free to take ethereum code and ran with it, but whether they manage to persuade the devs to join them and whether they manage to get another round of funding is another story) 4) I am just trying to create a backup plan for people sharing a common goal. 5) noone is leaving anyone behind. it is only about whether you decide to join us on this vision of seeing IOTA going forward with the best possible option at the moment. remain calm and be generous

Do we know what James (jl777) thinks it the foundationñ I recall him contributing something like 20btc .

I have spent 6% of my ICO-Holding, what is more than 20% of my remaining holding (sold already a lot at pre-market) So I have given the amount of 1'287'278'299'415 IOTA to the Foundation.
I hope others will follow here.

I'm sure others will follow. Btw do we have foundation and big deal addresses yet? I know I could donate via the Iota client but I would also like to donate to the big deal pool.

When IOTAs are claimed, and if I send them to another freshly made address, what needs to be backed up, so I'm sure IOTAs are safe in the event of say HDD crash?

They are safe in any address as long as you have full control of who uses the seed hard to generate the address. Unless every hdd in the world fails at once.

So when I'm generating new address, I will be given the seed for the generation of it?

@Iotatoken: any update on the GUI? Sorry if this has been answered recently. GUI with a simple donation button would solve all the problems here. I'm not a tech saavy guy and am not comfortable with CLI. I'd prefer an idiot proof way to donate. Thanks for your hard work. and @community chillax. Everything will be fine and the foundation will be funded since it is in the best interest of the community to do so, since if the goal is not met, everyone's software token will likely lose all of it's value Wouldn't want to see that happen...
