Yeah you can go ahead and announce on your end. As for the twitter: @theoctoparty
Perfect
I will announce it tonight. Do you have an initial distribution methodology set yet?
Nobody on the board has really responded about those initial posts. I don't think they mind either way. But we do need to discuss. A balance between the burn, mining and other distribution is important for stability and dumping.
I could picture 30-90 days as a short term until we vote. We'll give them 48 hours for opinions or I'll set the short term.
Please chime in guys or we may just go with what I decide for the first 30-90 days.
How about this, since you are not sure exactly how many are gonna get burned, but we know that there is only 40 million in existence, how about you start with a set amount over 8 months that allow anyone to get some before deciding the change so you can get this rolling. Here is what i think:
- Distribute an initial 8,888,888 OCTO on merged folding to get some out there (keeping the 8 theme)
- Distribute over a period of 8 months
- that comes to 240 days
- That comes to 37,037 per day
- so that OCTO isnt paying a lot of transaction fees, do weekly payouts which would be 259259 per week
- Should cost roughly 0.01 BTC per week to do the distribution (with the current amount of folders we have)
Then during this time you can hold a vote to determine what you will do with the rest of the 888 and still get a lot out there to the existing folders
I think that is too much. I was talking about distributing 20-30 million OCTO over 8 years at least. To distribute almost half of 20 mil or a third of 30 mil, in 8 months is too high. I think it would flood the space, depending on the size of burned coins.
Now if the burn turnout is much lower than I expect, say under 15 mil, i think we could do that many early. But I really hope people see the value in slowly allowing mining to bring new coins to the market.
Plus we have to keep some for the crowd sale, promotions and funding some other projects in the future.
I do like the idea of keeping with the 888 in some form though.
Hopefully some more people chime in. I mean if I could do it right now I would do it for 8 years and distribute 20 million coins. Have some of these early miners get larger payouts that cut down over the years.
I'll think about it some more and let ya know.
