Already donated, kinda disappointing that only three minter's have donated...
I think part of the problem here is that most people who own Mint have lost so much that it's hard to justify donating more money. Some people are down 90-95%. Asking these same people to donate more money for free is probably expecting too much.
Donations put an unfair burden on the few that will donate , I still believe forming a club is the best solution , since dues are required to be a member, it feels like you are buying something instead of giving away something for free. Plus the Team would know what amount they have to budget with and would not have to ask for donations.
Here is my previous thought
____________________________________________________________________________
OK ,
It is becoming apparent , that their will be necessary bills that must be paid every month.
For Example keeping the BlockChain explorer up and running.
Here is a thought, Open for Debate and any Warnings or Insights
Let's form a Club from the inside the community.
Something like the MintCoin Guard or MintCoin Elite .
Other Names should be submitted to be voted on.
Members of the club would agreed to pay a monthly due to a bitcoin or mintcoin address.
Membership would be $1 per month if 100 or more sign up.
If we only get 50 to sign up then we would have to have a monthly due of $2.
(or if preferred a yearly due )
If we can't get at least 50 signed up , then scrap this idea.
From the Monthly Dues , the Treasurer pays off the Monthly BlockChain bill.
Any additional money would be used for the following :
1: To shore up the buy walls on the exchange with the most Mintcoins are being held, and when Purchased, mintcoins are immediately moved off of the exchange to be kept by the Treasurer in a Mintcoin Address , and all interest from it is to be divided equally by all members Quartely.
2: Used by MintCoin Team to advertise Mintcoin.
Club would vote on Percentages to go to option 1 and 2.
After Blockchain explorer is paid for, if anything extra for example
50% to 1 & 2 options, or 75% for 1 and 25% to 2.
What would Membership give you,
Voting Rights in all Future Directions that the Mintcoin Team would like to take.
Payouts from MintCoin Interest on the Club Mintcoin account every quarter divided between all Members equally.
Treasurer should be someone with no other functions in the MintCoin community, their only function would be treasurer to prevent any conflict of interests.
Also they can not be anonymous and must be reachable by an email.
They will keep track of member's email & mintcoin address for the quarterly interest payment.
And they should post a Quartely Report on how the money was used on the MinCoin.CC website .
For every year they serve as treasurer, they are listed as a member for 5 years.
Everyone already performing a task on the Mintcoin Team automatically receives a membership in the club which is good for 1 year after they no longer perform that service.
Any way here is a thought, what do you Think?
P.S.
I have no interest in being treasurer.
This is only to help the coin survive & prosper.
