Hello Everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that Halofire has agreed to run the SmartCoin Donation Fund. Halofire has experience managing public funds for FLT and OC, so this is a welcome development.
I have sent 20K SMC to get started, so if anyone would like to run a giveaway, let me or Halofire know, as there is now official SmartCoin funding available for that.
If increased, the funds could also be used for things like web hosting and development bounties. Please feel free to donate to the following address: SgpYdoVz946nLBF2hF3PYCVQYnuYDeQTGu
Regards,
Psionin
That's right, folks. I'm here to provide a financial service for SMC, to collect and direct donations, and to represent the funds when called upon. A small % will be taken to go towards compensation for providing the service, as was discussed with psionin. I'm not here to get rich off of your donations, but I will be working for SMC and the community. 10% of Psionin's 20k will be allocated to compensation, then all subsequent donations will have a lower fee of 5%.
You can be rest assured the donation wallet.dat is it's own wallet.dat, triple saved on different sticks, and is safe and encrypted on the computer that is currently holding those funds. After a method of decision to be determined, I will direct them appropriately and transparently. If anyone has an idea for a way to spend the funds, please start a discussion here. I have a SMC address from Psionin in case of emergency. Please feel free to check the donation address against the explorer at anytime. I will be checking in here at least once per day, whether I post or not. Also, anyone feel free to PM me if you need to get a hold of me. Thanks!
Hello community,
I want to give a report in case some of you have seen other posts of mine or know info regarding a failed hard drive of mine. The SMC funds are safe, screenshot can be provided if need be, but I did have a hard drive crash. This is exactly why I saved the wallet's on 3 drives/sticks. I will not be sending the bad drive out to get the data back for added security measures. I know I could move the coins, but people in "clean room" lab coats are smarter than me, rather take zero chances.
I am very surprised that minimal community members have contributed to the donation fund. This fund is made to continue development, to spend where seen fit. For the remainder of the year for the holiday season, to aid in SMC growth, I will reduce the fee to 2.5%. Cheers! Happy Holidays!
REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR WALLET.DAT
