Welcome to the ORA bounty discussion thread!
By design we have left a large proportion of ORA assets/coins in trust for later distribution as bounties.

The ORA distribution is as follows:
50% - distributed equally to ~3000 webapp registration applicants (still to decide how to distribute left over stakes)
5% - goes to the registration webapp dev
5% - goes to the dev who clones Qora, and creates the ORA wallet applications
2% - ORA founder
8% - goes to node bot bounties
4% - website & marketing
1% - Qora dev
25% - POWER BOUNTIES

That means at least ~37% of ALL ORA will be paid to active community members as bounties for doing all the necessary tasks required to give ORA the best chance of being successful in the medium-long term.

We will use this thread to discuss how we will do this!

My goal is to create a 'process' that is open & transparent, and maybe we can use community discussion to  nominate potential bounty candidates, and then we can use the NXT voting system to decide who gets what bounty payments, and for what tasks.

Another option would be to form a committee of 4-5 people who could decide the details after eligible candidates had been nominated by the community.

There are many options to consider, and this thread is a good place to explore them. If you have any ideas please feel free to make them here!

How we distribute the bounties is a crucial task for the ORA community, and while I suspect it wont be easy, how successful we are at doing it will go a long way in determining how successful the ORA project as a whole ends up being!

Good luck to all of us

Thanks for starting this Kora.

There are a total of 37% of total coins allocated for bounties.

First, lets discuss on the 25% power bounties. First map the categories and sub categories.that fits into power bounty. Then we will decide on allocation and distribution method.

Edit (7-Aug-14) : i have merged the original web and marketing bounty with power bounty for easy & simple fund management. The whole bounty war chest is now holding 29% of total allocation = 290 mil coins.

I will also reserve space in this post for updates and announcements when needed.


1. Promotional & Marketing Bounty
1.1 Social Media Networking. This shall include swarms, facebook, twitter etc.
1.2 Advertisements / promotion works
1.3 Ora Logo Designing
1.4 Branding / Other Graphic Materials / Infographics.

2. Technical Bounty
2.1 Mobile wallet - iphone, android
2.2 Faucet
2.3. Infrastructures
2.4 Dev projects
2.5 Website (Official)
2.6 Wiki
2.7 Translation

3. Contributors Bounty* to be discussed at later point.

4. Others* to be discussed at later point.

5. Charity charity allocation will be allocated in the remaining stakes

Edit 7-Aug-14 : i have moved marketing bounty and promotion bounty into 1 category named Promotional & Marketing Bounty. Website, wiki and translation is now under Technical Bounty. Also added a new category named Others for just in case.

We should try and get QORA dev on board imo. He has no investment in QORA and is in desperate need for a wide-reaching community to support his work and effort.

Combine the 2 and this shit goes to the moon.

Wow, that's a really good post and idea. This is a really good way to distribute stake and should solve a lot of the problems mentioned in the post.

Incentives are key and I think you guys might have nailed it here.

[DarkhorseofNxt]

I would like to ask everyones opinion on first, merge the website & marketing bounty with the power bounty for now. My idea ia to allocate a certain amount from the bounty war chest. Maybe 10 mil for a start. Once the 10 mil is consumed, then we top up the another few mil. Also The bounties should be allocated accordingly to the below categories. You guys too pls suggest what else needed to be added. Lets have a overview of everything.

Promotion bounty
1. Social media interaction. This shall include swarms, facebook, twitter, website etc promotion.

Technica bounty
1. Mobile wallet - iphone, android
2. Infrastructures
3. Dev projects

Marketing
1.advertisements

Contributors bounty

@DarkhorseofNxt
I like to idea of splitting it up in in chunks. Makes it easier to focus on specific areas.

For the technial bounties it'd be good to specify faucet development.
For promotional work we can add translations.
We can also add wiki creation and updates, perhaps under promotional work as well?
Also let's specify logo creation under marketing?

@ Mac Red, thank you for reminding the wiki creation, translation and faucet. Totally forgot about that.

I included Other graphics into branding or facelift.

I am also thinking of a standard format of bounty approval for all future bounty release. A simple format. I am keeping a book on what is being spent on what. So all this will go into there. Proof of expenditure.

Under construction. I will include a FAQ or wiki and perhaps a news section for important updates.
We also need to finalise a logo choice.

I also like the idea of splitting it into chunks. Its better to a have a reserve for future unforeseen bounties, for instance if bts option is taken up bringing in new devs with nio.

Awesome. I guess some kind of deadline for the logo would be good. For example, X more weeks until we all vote to decide how we'd like it to look like. At the same time, we need to wait for the NXT voting system if we want to do it over there. Thoughts?

Yeah. its better to wait for NXT voting. Much cleaner and less open to abuse. There is also a few asking for a vote on the name. I thought ORA is set at this stage since the assets are released already

[DarkhorseofNxt]

I think so we need to wait for the nxt voting. Also it gives some time for more logo ideas. We are seeing some real good designs coming in. Hoping more improvements. There are many, but still i cant tell myself, THIS is that logo.

Vote on the name? That has past. No more going back there.

[dongchi]

When will 50% free distribution finish?

deadline?

Welcome to my ORA 'Tip' List!  

1 Million ORA 'tip' to fragORA for:
- showing sincere enthusiasm &  early support for (K)ORA
- agreeing to be a 'community treasurer' for ORA
- for setting up a website to help with 'communications'

[Mac Red]

When will 50% free distribution finish?

deadline?

Similar to the logo we'll decide what we want once the NXT voting is live.

[DarkhorseofNxt]

I would also like to suggest some amount to assigned to charity organisations. Just my thought.
