The Dark Sermon (ongoing...)
I do not mock, I applaud your vision, but we need a realistic plan and to take things one step at a time. I think I suggested some kind of charitable donation out of the current fund wallet about a thousand pages ago, and I'd be completely OK with a voluntary cut out of my masternode earnings going to some good cause. If nothing else, and even if a minor fraction of node ops opted in, it would be good PR.
First we need a Dark Foundation to be set up, with clearly stated goals and complete transparency. I think this is underway in a kind of back-burner fashion - there are more pressing matters right now for the devs, or as we one day address Them, The Developers.
As Darkcoin progresses, and the core team grows, we'll have more scope and manpower for such things.
You should get talking to some of the good folk at darkcointalk.org - I think many there would be amenable to the gist of your message.
And our first Saint shall be Camosoul, praise his Dark heart.
Great my friend! Thanks for considering this idea and I agree of course that the developers have other things to do right now
It would be unbelievable PR. I thought about the future generations idea today, I think its pretty wild. I'm not a charity guy although I support a couple, I'm a strategy guy but I like to make giving back a part of the plan, especially when it makes strategic sense to do so.
Slowly we would undermine the very power bases that are holding back ecash by undermining their control over perceived money and its value, that which gives them their greatest power. I would voluntarily dedicate 1 full node at this moment to contribute to this strategy, for the good of Darkcoin and of everybody else. Hopefully someone can help my nodes up I'm still working on my Linux youtube classes hahaha and don't feel comfortable setting up something I don't understand but I'll figure it out in no time I'm sure...
I don't see this dedication should be a gift, It should be an investment in Darkcoin and would like to add that the ideal model would be a model where people dedicating nodes to the world project would be able to recover their nodes if needed or desired, or they could point their nodes at the foundation kind of like miners do with pools. What I was thinking, is that a small portion of what would go to the newborns of the world (the future generations which will make Darkcoin what it will become) from the master node profits could go to maintaining World Darkcoin headquarters in different cities around the world where the members of the foundation can work together, maintain a secure environment, a place for people to come for information, and also to serve as a club (something nice with dark leather couches and cognac please
) for similar minded people and investors... Kind of like a VIP for those who choose to make everyone a VIP. BTW, did you hear the words tax deductions? I think I just heard them on the air...
I'll go check out darkcointalk.org, thank you for the suggestion.
