I am vehemently opposed to the formation of any foundation. It is the polar opposite of what this coin represents (anon/blur) to me and I am certain others.
A collective could work, like the slack group or us talking here and working together towards goals, but never a foundation.

Foundation & any type of centralized group = avenue for gov. surveillance/control
That's definitely one concern. We are still a young coin, so I would say to just be careful. I have seen it happen in other coins where there are folks who feel the need to be in control and dictate everything - it just generates politics and group-think and destroys the mystique. That is not going to happen here. I certainly am not looking for bosses. That's not what this coin is about. Self-organization is good, especially for marketing, but just be careful not to rush in and be careful what you wish for. If we want to go farther than coins before, maybe we try operating a little differently / not repeat the same mistakes. I like the idea of collectives, like I view all of us here like a group of riders meeting up at the clubhouse hanging out and drinking some beers.
I was going to make a long impassioned plea to you last night but never got around to it regarding you slowly falling deeper and deeper away into the folds never to be seen or heard from again while you still can ala Satoshi/Kaizer Sose. If you complete your blueprints you will have created imo the second step in crypto, the first being btc itself. This is literally another dagger into the multi trillion dollar machine/beast that we are all fighting against whether we know it or not. That can be a very scary situation. I am certain that if Satoshi is just one individual and had 9 lives he would have chosen to disappear the way he did every single time without batting an eye. I can only imagine he would have met an early demise otherwise. I look forward to the day that you do fully sign off knowing that you have seen your development walk on it's own two feet and can make its own way. I say this strictly out of concern and compassion. If that day comes and something pops up that can only be fixed by you then taking from the playbook of high ransom kidnappers that answer may just need to be posted in the pet section of a mexico city newspaper. Its only paranoia if it is not true. Only time will tell. But you seem to be on an at least a similar wavelength so I will not go any further.
You bring up a very valid direction "try operating a little differently / not repeat the same mistakes" and that I am all for. Only one coin has done that and pulled it off and we all know that is btc and I personally believe that is the correct direction to go. The "foundation" came much much later and after it was for the most part completely viable already. And I still see no real need in it.
Your riders statement makes the branding make more sense to me now.
Cheers to you the first beer's on me. I applaud what you have done (or do you prefer a slow clap?). You are in my thoughts. Thank you for what you have done and are continuing to do.
its syncing now, when im staking my crave in a wallet does it matter if i turn my pc off for a couple hours then stake again, does this lower the chance of me getting a reward?
