Actually, that's what I was thinking too. I was thinking along the same line. If we set up a dev fund and contribute to it, we can have someone from outside dev for GUI for instance, but I think dzarmush was against setting up a dev fund. And qora dev will be responsible for core development... So there is no conflict. What's your thinking on this, dzar? care to share some insight with us? The main area of focus should be getting a talented person with a good sized bounty to create an awesome web wallet (it's crucial in my mind) and also a decent looking blockchain, nothing amateur, whoever did the NXT blockchain should be scouted and funded.
I guess my point is get the best we can pay for, no amateur hour stuff whatever is decided to be done.
This is critical - Nxt blockchain dev was contacted but unavailable. NHZ crew were also contacted...any word from them? The qora community should spend what it takes via bounties or converted btc/fiat for devs outside crypto to develop the best, most cutting edge of what has been done to date. It will be worth the cost. And this is why the dev fund is so important. |

Hi guys,
I'd appreciate it if you guys can send in your application to ReRunRod to make it official (especially looking at ya, TwinWindNerD & dzarmush). Also, I notice that some people mentioned they wish to join the committee but simply cant meet the requirements, do you think we should revise it?
1. BitcointalkID
2. Method of Joining (Qualified by Asset or Time Commitment) -- Whether you'd like to join based on amt of qora asset owned or you wish to contribute time (Min. Asset Req. 50 Million Qora)
3. Amount of Qora asset currently owned.
4. Your Primary Qora address where the fund is being held (for verification purpose).
5. Pledge/Donation/Time Commitment -- How much you wish to donate to Qora Marketing Fund (Min. Requirement: 1 Million Qora or 20 hours of work/week)
Qora Address (Send 2 Qora) for verification purpose: Qc4i6c335VrTckKwMrsgzE2ePeRproMmDF
PS: ReRun, where is your name on the list??? Put your name down plz! lol

Dont forget to add the Qora address for people to send 2 Qora for verification if they'll qualify by Asset. |

People don't understand there will be lots of benefits for joining the committee (free healthcare excluded)...
I am thinking we should hold weekly party (maybe in ChiIraq, courtesy of the marketing fund), trips on private jet.. etc
We will have a good time, and we'll visit each member's hometown.. Best yet, we'll be partying til we drop!
Jokes aside, I've really got a lot of plans for the committee. I'm hoping we can make it legal (register it legally). The legal structure will be able to hold assets and apply for trademark/patents. I've had experience running a business, so it's kind of right up my alley.
What do you think we can do to bring awareness to the committee? Should we send out individual invites? I wish the dev can move the announcement to first page so it doesn't get buried. Has DEV shown up today?

I didn't want to gather the fund right now because in this case we'd need a treasurer and I remember days and days of discussions who will keep the funds in Nxt. But then suddenly everybody voted for TwinWinNerD without any arguments so it's fine. We need a fund address from him where everybody could send donations. Qora dev will be responsible for core development, yes. He's in charge, so I'd say we need at least his opinion on every important issue. Whether it's time or not to develop a mobile wallet/web wallet etc. Of course anybody can do his own wallet, but there will be only one "official" desktop wallet/mobile wallet/web wallet and all of that stuff will be developed on dev fund money. |

So TwinWindNerD is still the treasurer for NXT? That's good to know. In that case, could you, TwinWind provides us an official QORA fund address so we can start sending donations to you? Also, could you guys send in your applications to make your membership official? Many thanks |

...good thing I haven't sent any QORA yet... What is the problem? We have domain names like qoratalk.org, who is going to hold it? We need a legal structure to hold stuff like this right? Also, although software cannot be patented, the name qora can be trademarked. I think we should set up a foundation and move everything under it. Question? |

I think a lot of people in this community are used to doing things in a amateurish way, but they fail to realize a lot of legal problems can arise in later stages.
For instance, in UK, a man tried to register a trademark for Bitcoin...
We need to prevent that from happening by acting first. Setting up a legal foundation is a good option.
By having a legal foundation, we can move all assets (ie. domain names, trademark) under one umbrella.
That's what I was talking about..

You got that right! I like this idea. We should trademark it and go from there. |

But it's a marketing committee and we need great marketing guys for it. I'll be volunteering if Qora need graphic designer but I hope I won't have to take place in marketing committee. |

Over the last days I have had a lot of pm's about the same issues.
What I am planning to do is create a private repository with a public bug tracker to which everyone will have access.
This will allow for better bug tracking and to give a better overview on what is being developed.
I have been trying to follow the discussions on qora.club. It is up to the community to decide where they want to discuss certain things.
I will follow the majority of the community.
If you have certain questions it is best to pm me.
I will not be able to keep following every discussion once the community grows bigger.
As you probably know I have no intention to promote or market this currency at the early stages.
Before this currency can start to run it must be able to walk.
However I can not or will stop others from doing this.

Dear qora, Would you consider becoming a member in our newly formed committee? I think I represent everyone here when I say we'd be honor to have you as the head of the committee (or at least be an advisor to us). I really hope that you don't think we're out of bounds here for organizing a committee without consulting with you first. If you have any suggestion or objection to anything we're doing, I'd appreciate if you could share it with us. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the project. Over the last days I have had a lot of pm's about the same issues.
