How about the dev focuses on the development, the designers and marketers focus on the design and marketing, and other people focus on their respective roles?

I think 5-6 people should do the trick

We need 1 or 2 people given the authority to coordinate and manage this project and make things happen.

Let's get this over 200 satoshi! Together, we can make this happen.

sounds right.

I would love to, but my personality would not be right for this project. I'm far too passionate. I'm the kind of person that needs to take charge. I move too fast and have too little patience for something like Karmacoin where we all need to work together. It's much slower than a directed effort, but we end up happier. Sure, it might end up being the biggest coin because I work tirelessly and never quit but everyone involved would be exhausted and end up hating me for it

I can only suggest that we get a few logo ideas together and take a survey of our target market. And also regarding the UI of our website. It should not be up to us to decide these things, because we are too close to it. We should design for newcomers to make it as accessible and as easy as possible. "Test all theories"

We could do a brainstorming session (On IRC) and choose the best initiatives to support. I was thinking for example we could support people in Ukraine.

If so it would need to be something that people could focus on.

X was destroyed so Karmacoin is helping those people (school, hospital, etc).

If we focus on the whole of Ukraine or affected areas then I think our effort will be wasted. It needs to be a story that people can relate to and feel for.

I made a little roadmap with the goals I think we should achieve, tell me what do you think of it:

- Improve the communication between devs and the community using Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and IRC

- Create a Reddit Tipbot

- Improve the design of the coin/website/subreddit, to make it look more professional (Seems like a lot of people look at the design first)

- Collaborate with charity associations to spread the coin and meanwhile help the others (That's the purpose of the coin, after all), I'd start emailing some to ask if they would accept Karmacoin donations

- Spread the coin with giveaways (Already doing)

Need to add:

-Identify initiatives that we can raise Karma to support. These are not just donations to charities.
These are action items to help others - School books for a person, recognition for a manager in a company etc...
Focus on recognition of a person for their Doing Good or us Doing good on someone's behalf.

-5 KARMASpecial (>5M KARM) and 5 KARMANeat (<5M KARM) projects that can be easily replicated.

We could do a brainstorming session (On IRC) and choose the best initiatives to support. I was thinking for example we could support people in Ukraine.

Karmagood times ahead. There are ups and downs. All markets have ups and downs - we weather them.
I believe in this coin because it has a legitimate intent to action.

All Wallet holders need to promote actions to the community where we can do good on a massive scale.
Member recruitment is key.

The supply of this coin will help us push the wallets towards the masses.

If you can host a giveaway and sign up 200 please do. let me know if you need help.

We have demand. We created supply. This is a great foundation.

Market confidence will be on the rise. The important thing to do is to move forward.
This temporary low Satoshi threshhold will create an entry point for every cryptocurrency advocate out there.

!!Karmazing!!

Here's my theory about the price for Karma today...

And it has everything to do with Auroracoin. Mintpal is the main exchange for Karmacoin. It seems that other coins that were heavily-traded before (like MINT, or even BC) are now down. People seem to be selling their positions in other coins (and deciding to hold off on purchasing) in order to get in on the Auroracoin train.

That's my armchair theory, at least.

It is in fact the obvious cause. The good forecast about this is auroracoin is no where near worth it's current value, it's artificially inflated by having less than 1% of the actual coins in circulation, so that 1 billion market cap is effectively less than 10 million (probably much lower because the value itself has been inflated by the artificial cap). Imagine what will happen when all that cap will be released at once.

Probably but if so this is only small part of the story.

I just sent this note to [email protected]. I will let you know when I hear from him.

These are the types of initiatives I need the community to bring to us so that we can garner support.
Let's get focused on short sprints of high impact opportunities that we can focus the value of our Karma on.

The main story is listed here: http://koin.com/2014/02/03/enough-room-for-elephants-at-oregon-zoo/

Hi Eric,

I read about your efforts in the news and am interested in helping.
I represent a community that has created a virtual currency (much like Bitcoin) called Karmacoin.
We are interested in supporting your cause. I was wondering what we can do to help
financially? Do you have a specific initiative that we can support so that you can achieve your result?

Very truly yours,
DEV

I think if we do this then people will associate "the coin with an elephant on it" as "the coin that helps elephants". We'd be painting ourselves into a corner.

There are so many initiatives around the world that we can help in. See http://www.globalgiving.org/

Every one is forgetting about a few basic questions, what's the purpose of Karma coin and where we can use it...? What distinguish this from every other billion coin...?

I've done branding for Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, and some of the biggest names in consumer products, have done PR for the biggest biotech firm, and this is the only logo I've seen that can take us above 20 satoshi (the top one, not the bottom one):

http://i.imgur.com/RLwHMIf.jpg

It isn't the best, but the only brandable one I've come across. It's simple, bright, cheery, and embodies the concept of what I think we're wanting to do.

The problem now is that we're wasting time deciding upon something that is quite easy.

1) design something

2) test it with your market

3) re-vamp design(s) based on comments of your TARGET MARKET

4) roll out new branding

We stop at #2, thinking that we don't need it. But where would any entity be without market research?

Hey jpeters, have you gotten feedback on this one?

Not an official survey. I would need to have a few logos for that. I chose that one based on my own experience. It's about 60% of where a good logo should be, but for this purpose it's good enough I think. The other logo (above, with the elephant) is ok but needs more color and less busy-ness.
