What type of parameter are we to have members wise? How many? Roles for each person? If CG doesn't pop up we will eventually need a dev. Can someone get ahold of Siriuscrypto? Any time I try to msg him I'm ignored. He knows much if not all the behind the curtain development and CG's plan for further development. Perhaps he can assist or join us with the creation of the foundation.
Ok, it appears things got serious. It's what I wanted, but I am unprepared. I have some ideas, and I will detail them to you and the community over the next few days.
The problem I have right now is time. I work over the internet at the moment, and have been lurking here in between tasks or while waiting for things to compile. Details are unimportant, save that I have a fairly serious personal crisis to deal with at the moment. That should be stabilized in a few weeks, after which I should have more time for this venture. In the meantime, consider me a supporter, and I will do the best I can to advise, cajole, rouse the rabble, and spew out my insane version of wisdom.
I think this coin has a great deal of potential in the market that CG was aiming for. I do NOT want to be doing a "takeover", unless CG approves of such, but rather a separate venture that parallels his stated vision and hopefully stabilizes the coin. It's low price is not necessarily a terrible thing, given the low energy cost of minting.
What will drive the price upwards is not hype or adoption at exchanges, but mercantile success. Going forward, and this goes for any coin that is to last, we need merchant adoption.
Most of the people who see this aim for grandiose goals right out of the gate. That, frankly, is fantasy. Bitcoin is just now starting to get major merchants. So, instead of aiming for the stars, let's aim for next door. In this community are talented people. Let's try to tap that. If somebody out there has a piece of software they think is of value, put it up for sale for a zimstake denominated price. If you make music, sell tracks for zimstake. If you are a programmer, offer your services for zimstake. I could go on and on in this vein. Think about it. Small steps, in sufficient number, will drive bigger adoption and bigger steps. If anyone is looking to go mainstream tomorrow, you need to rethink your position. If that's your goal, unless you have concrete means of doing it, bow out. But if you have some little thing you can sell, or some small way to promote zimstake, even something as simple as a subscription newsletter, go for it.
As for specifics of forming a foundation, that is a project that by necessity must take a bit of time or it will go up in flames. I have a lot of experience as a manager, so I have some thoughts on what can be done. I'll get to details a bit later, and while I may be very spotty in the immediate future, I am willing to give this as much time as my life will allow. First is feeding and housing my family. I am nearly destitute, but I have a decent job that I enjoy. My luck has turned for the better, but I JUST turned that corner and have many obstacles to be overcome before I can devote a large amount of time to this. But I will contribute what I'm able. I think my best role would be as an advisor at this time, rather than any sort of management position within a foundation. That could change in the future, and hopefully will.
