ipo-stake voting?

Thought about it. But for things like logo, it's not so good.

On the other hand, 200 people is a big enough group. For logo we could count votes as one account = one vote, not by stake.

But this means more work for me to write a simple voting system for the site...

Still it can be handy, I remember it was pretty upsetting that NXT had no voting system.

Maybe the top 10(could be other num) can get paid, and the winner get the most?

Yeah, that could work. Something like "reward = base / (1 + position)". For the winner, position = 0.

So if base is 100, then:
1   100
2   33
3   25
4   20
5   17
6   14
7   13
8   11
9   10
10   9

Total: 252

But need to make sure voting is not rigged.

logo + style contest - I really like dzarmush work
He is a big simcoin supporter and investor, I am sure he will make time for this.

Yeah, he's our biggest investor, so let's get more from him by making him work for free! Grin

Come on... Fair reward to everybody.

I also like QBTC's work, but not sure if she's available/interested...

How was it organized for NXT? I remember lots of samples submitted. Did they all get paid or just the winner?

- signature giveaway is a good way to get simcoin exposed (like this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/qora-giveaway-2nd-gen-new-source-thousands-of-coins-for-everyone-623943, made by argan)

There's something uncomfortable about paying people to pretend to like you.

I would rather just buy an ad here.

What's "multipool"?

Like BC multipool: http://blackcoinpool.com/dashboard
so people can use their mining power to get simcoin and add buy pressure to the exchange.

- First block explorer
- First faucet
- multipool (?)

Block explorer should be integrated into clients. I don't know if we need a web-version too, but it should not be hard, because clients are browser-based.

Faucet needs some solutions to prevent abuse. For now let's use World Community Grid (WCG).

Maybe we should make a to-do list?
Mark out which parts you can do yourself, which parts need someone with professional skills, which parts need the help of community.

Well, the plan is simple - I will work on things that cannot be outsourced and outsource everything else (assuming I am able to find skilled people who can also tolerate my obsession with details).

I should probably start a separate thread to keep track of all the bounties, here's just stuff off the top of my head:

We will need:

a logo + style contest. Anyone remembers prices in the NXT contest?
World Community Grid integration (bounty)
client developers. I plan only to do a basic version as POC, final clients should be made by others. This includes mobile versions.
crypto audit (if we can get it), at least from somebody like doctorevil
a reserve for critical bugs found (bounty)
huge reserves for various services and merchant integration, because without it, a coin is nothing
to setup many initial nodes to jump start the network
a significant reserve to send people to conferences
paper wallets and other printed materials for conferences and promotions
our own site + forum with moderators
multipool?

Throw more stuff at me, I will edit this post.

We should in any case reserve 5% to retrofit some second hand Lenin statues in your image.

Now, finally, someone with really good ideas! Grin

5% might not be enough, though. How many tentacles did Lenin have?

Quote from: Mrrr on June 09, 2014, 08:40:23 AM

I like banner campaigns and subsidized nodes as a method of giving coins away.

Oh, right! We should talk about how to reward nodes. But probably a bit later, I need to do another thinking pass over it...

Also, something to hand out at conferences, like paper wallets would be nice!

It's also interesting how many people would accept simcoins for bounties and how many would only work for bitcoins...

How are you planning to hold 60% of the coins (bounties / servers / developers reserve) ?

That's a very good question. Let's start giveaway ideas discussion again.

I still think World Community Grid is a good way to disperse some part, because even if it's gamed, at least people will do good for humanity.

Any other ideas? I could give a bit to everyone in this thread for example

but this might be viewed negatively as more centralization.

We need to give away to "fresh" and interested people...

There will be 1 billion simcoin in the genesis block.

I think there will be a lot of FUD if you control them while the exchange is open.
Interested to know what you think about this.
