as for cryptopaths personal bounty project.. he seems to have gone off the idea of a decentralised foundation and now wants a bitcoin island. i told him to make some proposal details, tasks/goals, skills acquired/required. and a list of the benefits.
basically a standard business proposal any investor wants to see to take anything serious. yet i now see he has ignored my tips for success and skipped straight for the money grab. trying to find out how rich people are:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=609319.0If you actually read the thread you would see it is polling if people make a sizable amount of their income in crypto. Just because ideas differ doesn't mean one is a scam. Weren't you the one in favor of bounty programs and each project getting by on its own merit? This is just one project and if people would like to see it progress it will hence the Decentralized Union. You are still free to propose anything you would like. No one project defines the Decentralized Union but all projects should further Crypto and that is my goal.
im all for bountys/crowdfunding
so show the world your proposal. show that you have an idea worth investing in. as it seems your just gathering a list of rich people. so please concentrate on the business plan first.
ok ill start you off.
getting electricity to the island.. how?
getting internet to the island.. how?
getting sewerage off the island.. how?
getting fresh clean water, beverages, food supplied.. how?
getting building materials and labour onto the island.. how?
timescales, goals, tasks.. when?, what?, how?
the size of the island.. what?
the buildings on the island, offices residences, retail, warehousing, farmings.. what?,which?,what?
the ownership of the island.. who?
the governing/policing of the island.. who?
the day-to-day tasks such as manual labour keeping it clean, respectable.. who?
any investor would like to see these details.. IN DETAIL before even being interested in seeing a cost estimate, and before even being asked if they are onboard.
so PLEASE if you want to do a bounty, show some of your idea in detail. thats how bounties and crowd funding works
