@Kora,
Lets work on the options for the next round of stake distribution. How about posting here the previous poll to start this.
Great Idea!
Here is the previous poll thread if anyone is interested to get some background information:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7629545The Poll results were as follows:
What should we do with any left over stakes if we don't reach ~3000 stakeholders
Distribute to existing stakeholders - 120 (72.7%)
Use to pay for bounties & developers - 26 (15.8%)
Keep in trust for later distribution - 19 (11.5%)
Total Voters: 165The main feedback I got from the original Poll was we need to offer 'voters' combination options (e.g. 50% to existing stakeholders, 50% for a round 2 distribution etc)
How about adding a mulitple combo of distribution of the stakes like 50% 1st round registration, 30% 2nd round registration, 20% bounty. Something like this?
Yeah, having mutliple extra registration rounds could work well! Now that ORA is 'alive' on the NXT AE a bundle of ORA coins is actually worth 'real value', and everyone can see that now. Having 'FREE money' to literally give-away is marketing gold!! ORA market cap is only 50K USD today, but in a few months ... maybe we'll be giving away something a lot more valuable. We can't underestimate the power of a guaranteed FREE giveaway, and we can give a bundle to charities too if we wish. We have plenty of options that can get ORA exposure, and we can make a 'values' statement about what ORA is about.
That's why I'm hoping some people can see that for those of us in HODL mode, giving away stakes to newcomers, charities, people outside 'cryptoville' can actually increase the value of your original ORA stake by quite a lot. What other coin has this amount of coins to use for pure marketing & to do some really cool things? And we're only talking about the remainder from the original 50% that was ear-marked for the first 3K stakeholders. The 25% for power bounties etc is not being given away, that's tucked away for dev & infrastructure & community building & marketing etc
IMO the smart thing to do with the left over stakes is grow the ORA pie from a clever combination of giveaways & promotions that project the ORA communal values, AND get us great exposure, even beyond the relatively small boundaries of the crypto community. When people hear of a genuine giveaway of FREE stuff that ISN'T tainted by scam or other sleazy motives, then people take notice. I think it's OK to squeeze every last drop of good publicity we can, but we can be 'good guys' too. We can give FREE money (ORA is like money now!) to medical research, poverty relief, wikipedia, Amnesty International, wikileaks ... anything. IMO it's a far better use of the left over stakes than a 'top up' to the original ~890 stakeholders.
But that's just me, and the vote will decide the issue, but first we need to lay out all the options, and let people win 'hearts & minds' with their arguments & opinions. NXT voting system ETA for going live is end of September, so that's plenty of time to get organised, and also for some more price discovery for ORA.
Who wants to make a prediction on ORA price on 30th September?
