Can you link to some more detailed information please.

2'904'675 NXT was sent to each of the accounts:

http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getTransaction&transaction=8229158905562123840
http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getTransaction&transaction=419112573708720396
http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getTransaction&transaction=818794594833884287

PS: Only 100k left on the account controlled by me. It will be used to pay the reward for the injected fatal flaw. All other rewards/bounties must be paid from the accounts controlled by the keepers.

@CfB, thanks. I promise to keep it secure and await instructions to disburse the funds from my "boss", whoever he/she may be.

@rickyjames, klee, neer.g
Now that the funds are in, we have to agree on a method to safeguard it. So far, there are 2 options
(1) Pre-addressed envelope
(2) Encrypted file containing passphrase

If we agree on (1), we have to start exchanging postal addresses
If we agree on (2), we have to start exchanging email addresses

I prefer (2). If the method is too complicated, I propose a simplified version - option (3)

• Use AES Crypt instead of Truecrypt. It is much easier to use.
• If you're not comfortable using deathswitch.com, we could just encrypt the text file containing passphrase and ask someone we trust to keep it and to email it to the recipients - much the same way we'd need someone to physically take the envelope out of the safe deposit box & post it.
• Once the text file containing the passphrase has been encrypted, we immediately send decryption key to all other treasurers by ordinary email (no need to use bitmessage). This way we can confirm that the backup process has been completed.

What do you guys think? Once we've agreed on the method, we can post it in the main thread.

I would go with option no. 3.

I will need help though to make sure I don't do something stupid in the process!

Not sure what rickyjames thinks, but looks like he's got the envelope solution sorted out. We could use this among the 3 of us.

1. Download AES from https://www.aescrypt.com/download/
2. After installation, drag the AESCrypt.app icon from App folder to desktop
3. Create a new text file. Enter passphrase of your Nxtfund and save it. eg. KLee.txt
4. Drag Klee.txt and drop it over the AESCrypt.app icon on the desktop
5. You'll be prompted to enter a password. Enter a password & click "Continue"
6. You should see the encrypted file KLee.txt.aes in your finder.
7. SECURE DELETE the unencrypted file Klee.txt (important!)
8. Send encryption password to other treasurers by email
9. Give Klee.txt.aes and treasurers' emails to someone you trust, with instructions.

Hope this helps. I'll PM my email to you & neer.g  and we can test it out with a dummy file

To decrypt, drag the KLee.txt.aes file to the AESCrypt.app icon, enter password and the a copy of decrypted file KLee.txt will appear in the finder.

So much trouble bcos of "Trust noone"

I am good with Option 3 as well.  I am in the process of creating two new accounts in support of James/kLee and his efforts on NXTcash.  These would be NXTcashoperatingfund and NXTcashcompletionbonusfund.  Once I have these later today I will have three accounts and three passwords I will cycle through this process.

I am OK with option 3 also.  I am currently setting up two new accounts in support of James / NXTcash.  These will be NXTcashoperatingfund and NXTcashcompletionbonusfund.  Once I've got these set up, I'll get back to you guys with three passwords to cycle through this process.

So, we have the treasurers.

Have the committees already been decided?

[Uniqueorn]

So, we have the treasurers.

Have the committees already been decided?

Nope, not yet.
I have been nominated by a few guys so I am willing to step up. I have already spent 2 months on NXT and pioneered the marketing angle of NXT, so I'd fit on the marketing committee.
I have a ton of projects up my sleeves and can sympathize with great community members who are lacking payment for their efforts so I will be 100% fair in all ways.
There are several members that can verifiy this, I am just eager to get a committee going so that we can move NXT to the nxt level

I am right there with Uniqueorn, I can't wait to get this marketing committee together so we can get to work.

I have been nominated by a couple guys as well and look forward to the opportunity if I get a position on the committee. I am also part of a start up company that I can get involved with Nxt to amplify my efforts

It would seem like a good idea, knowing our voting track record, to start with getting this show on the road, so the committees can be formed and get working.

Who will take the lead in this? UP?

[klee]

Hey keepers why not just use PGP? We could send the pwds to each other just by encrypting it with the public keys!

Then any medium will be safe, even here!

My public key just in case:

Soooooo...... let's vote

[pinarello]

candidates?

[pinarello]

Unclaimed coins fund forming commitees.

candidates for the commitees, please apply!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsrKGhOkVcFpdFRFeHNUdWx3Qy1nTjBPLUFNWUJKQkE&usp=sharing


Please somebody post this on nextcoin.org also.

[pinarello]

Good question raised by opti:

As obvious it is for marketing, there is a thin line between infrastructure and Tech fund.

what is the scope of:

NXTinfrastructurefund


NXTmarketingfund


NXTtechfund

[bitcoinpaul]

One thing is clear: People should not think of this committee group as the officials who are solely responsible for Nxt to develop further into the future. Everyone in the community still needs to develop ideas and think on their own. The committees are first and foremost responsible for the unclaimed coins as a source for bounties and initiators of discussions on ideas from the community.

This is no foundation.

+1 and I think this is very clear for everyone,

but they will have to challenge the different projects and vote on allocating fund to projects as I understand it?

[EmoneyRu]

Infra: What is HW? We are going to develop it? You mean back-end?
Tech: Here are end user clients, etc?

What are criterias for CANDIDATES? Who choses? How? When? What is replacement process for chosen one due to death?

I think the community has to define the difference between infra projects and tech projects, sometimes they will collide...

personally I see infra more as for example hardware, clients, VPS management, etc..., the tech side imo is more code related...

We (the community) will vote for the committee members, as members fall away we (the community) choose new ones.

feel free to discuss here...
