--* Monero Community Hall of Fame *--

"Dear sirs,

Monero is on its way to becoming the #10 coin in the Coinmarketcap list. For me it is the #2 coin already, since apart from Bitcoin, it is the only coin that I have ever bought. When thinking about the community, I have been getting the feeling that it is already, or at least soon becoming the second-strongest coin by the quality of members. It is astonishing how many of the most astute people in this forum own Monero, even though they hold very few altcoins in general.

The coin has had absolutely no premine, instamine or ninjamine. It is still only about 11% mined, and most of this time it has been listed in an exchange. Never was there an opportunity to - even legitimately - mine huge stashes of the coin. The developers have not had any frontrun. Now as it is clear that the community is waiting for them to deliver several things that cost money, it is easily forgotten that the Monero devs do not have the luxury of premine that all the other altcoins can tap into. They are working for free, and paying the costs out of pocket.

Brothers, this can not continue!

This thread's purpose is twofold:
- To raise money for XMR development;
- To publish to the cryptoworld the extent of XMR adoption.

By donating moneros to the development fund, you will be listed here. The names listed will inspire awe in all the other coin owners, as they see that the Monero community consists of the top talent of cryptoworld.

There are no large holders, who could bear the burden alone. Everybody is invited to join. I suggest that if you own XMR and read this, you would join the list by donating an amount that is approximately 1% of your XMR stash, or less since you can donate more later. Then reply to the thread with the amount and I will list you under the appropriate category.

I hope the devs and hero members would soon come up with the practicalities, concerning:
- Full disclosure of the use of funds;
- What to do if the fund's value grows disproportionately so that it is threatening the development more than helping it.

This list made me LOL, I'll try to donate once I get home from work, good job Risto.

[nakaone]

"indirectly" donated 10 yesterday - does this count? 

[GreekBitcoin]

Interesting! I was waiting for something like this

Only thing, i think there should be less categories so each category can have more 'value'.

Also indeed people have donated already and some very recently. Can something be done about it?

[cAPSLOCK]

Interesting! I was waiting for something like this

Subbing.  I have donated some already.  But will do more.

Is there a way to verify donations with this privacy based currency or do we use the honor system?

[statdude]

Finally!
How do we see the balance of the donation addy, or verify donations by posting keys?

I think honor is enough for kyu grades. For Dan levels, you should contact the treasurer in advance and he will give you something that resembles a satoshimessage (or whatever that identifies you).

Please the ones who already donated, post your sum and donation day. Earliest date takes preference in the listing order, and the sum of your all donations count towards a level.

[HardwarePal]

I must admit you are a very clever person.

The point is twofold here :

1. Donate to the devs to help out monero
2. Rpietela to create a richlist with the proposed 1% for calculations

I will be donating aswell btw

We're working on adding this feature now. We need to do a couple things to make it verifiable by any given person cryptographically (the wallet needs to support a view-only mode given view keys, and we need to sign key images from one-time use private keys if we spent with ring signatures to show that they were actually spent).

Hahaha this is hilarious. Good job.

I think honor is enough for kyu grades. For Dan levels, you should contact the treasurer in advance and he will give you something that resembles a satoshimessage (or whatever that identifies you).

Please the ones who already donated, post your sum and donation day. Earliest date takes preference in the listing order, and the sum of your all donations count towards a level.

I love the idea, and want to support the devs.  It is very important.

I especially love the 4th kyu prize.

I am struggling with making my donations public.  Some cognitive dissonance for me.  But I want to play along.  Perhaps I will make a single 1 time donation of a small amount publicly separate from my private support.

Great idea, and hilarious choice of currencies (the last four).  I donated 25 XMR on July 11th.

[saddambitcoin]

I donated 45 XMR just now, and a few weeks ago I donated 10, so put me down for 55!

approximately 1% of my holdings

[Quanttek]

I sent all the giveaway funds, that were left, over, which are 479. Though myself I donated only around 110XMR, though when I donated them, they were not anywhere as much worth as they are now

1 XMR is worth 1 XMR

So are we insinuating nobody has over 100k? Or they get to pick their title?

Can I be inducted into the Monero Hall of Infamy ?
