Hello,
I wasn't sure whether or not to discuss this in this forum, since it is a pretty niche case, but I think, I'm just gonna go ahead. Mind you, at this point, this is just an idea, I have not the slightest clue if I will actually try to make it happen.
So, here it is: I am thinking about crowdfunding an art project. Now, there is of course the question, whether it is even possible to fund an art project, especially since the thing I am planning to work on will be a big sculpture, thus limiting it to one location. I could and would plan to give out merchandise like prints and sketches to backers, but it would be still a hard thing to pull off (apart from movies and games, i am not aware of an art project that was successfully funded). However, that is, in this case besides the topic.
I would like to make a "traditional" crowdfunding, i.e. going with the traditional sites, collecting mainly fiat money and not specifically adressing the crypto community. But i would like to issue tokens, that are given to backers. These tokens are supposed to represent two things:
1. A share of the work itself, i.e. partial ownership of it
2. Voting rights regarding questions about how to proceed with the work, e.g. where to show it.
I would plan on keeping half of those tokens(maybe less), firstly to have enough voting power as long as the object itself is in my hands (effectively giving me a "veto"), and secondly to sell them, should a buyer be willing to buy the physical object itself. Now, the potential buyer would obviously need to buy tokens not only from me, but from other holders as well. I would even go as far as letting the physical object only go to a buyer, who has bought up 80% of all tokens.
Now, I don't really have any specific questions to ask, except for the general question, whether or not you think that those tokens are at all feasible or necessary. I would of course bind myself to the rules I made, but since the object is centralized by design, holders would have to trust me.
Oh, and one other question: What kind of platforms would make this kind of token creation possible? I think Waves, of course (yeah, signature, I know
), but what else? Nxt?
