LTCD - MOVING FORWARDI submit my suggestion for an immediate (or nearly immediate) to-do list for LTCD before taking any other actions.Please consider this to be a reasonably well thought out SUGGESTION. I've spent a few hours putting it together and referring back to earlier posts in the thread to account for as many things as was possible for me in a short time frame.
First - an interrim committe should be selected for making decisions in the short-term. I suggest the temporary committee should expire on or before Jan 18, 2015. Responsibilities of the interrim committe with be described below. A permanent committee should be chosen by or before the expiration of the interrim committee. Selection of a permanent committee prior to the expiration of the interrim committee would cause the immediate expiration of the interrim committee. Committee to be composed of an odd number of members to prevent a deadlock due to a tie-vote condition. Members of the committee could be persons responsible for sub-tasks and vice-versa.
Now, please review my opinion of the TEN most important things that need to be resolved before proceeding on to anything else.
01. Determine sub-tasks and delegate who will be responsible for supervision of each sub-task - examples would be PR person, BCT forum topic admin, wallet holder or wallet holders, wallet signers, website admin, any and all other sub-tasks which may arise as LTCD development progresses.
02. Determine what cryptocurrency will be used for dev funds and what cryptocurrency will be used for bounties/rewards.
03. Determine who will be responsible for checking the wallet addresses on a scheduled basis, to verify that the proper and expected balances are present. Daily? Weekly? Monthly?
04. Determine how fund storage will be managed. How much in a live wallet? How much in a cold wallet on USB? How much in paper wallet? Who will possess 2nd and 3rd copies of these wallets?
05. Determine how to unseat a committee member if the need arise and define the circumstances which might bring about the necessity to do so.
06. Determine who will be the designated person for posting Official Announcements. It could be the PR manager/coordinator. To avoid confusion, I do believe only ONE or possibly TWO people should be designated for this purpose. It does get confusing to see 5 or more ANNOUNCEMENTS by different people in the same day. One person or two persons being the mouthpiece for the committee would be beneficial.
07. Start a new topic on BCT for LTCD. Link back to this topic for historical purposes. Appoint an admin for the new thread and a backup admin (solely to replace the acting admin if necessary) that has no admin authority unless and until the primary admin is resigned or unseated or in the event of primary admin personal emergency. Choose more than one moderator to assist the admin.
08. Determine who will keep copies of code progress, who is responsible for git, who is responsible for blockchain. Choose secondaries to replace the primaries in time of unexpected need.
09. Once the previous items have been decided - Determine priority of what features will be updated for LTCD. Examples would be (but not limited to) POS, multisig, encrypted messaging, stealth addresses.
10. Choose a means for the committee and the sub-task managers to communicate routine progress so that mundane internal discussion does not flood the main BCT topic. Make this back channel available to spectators but restrict posting rights solely to committee members and sub-task managers and temporarily elevated rights to spectators who might have something immediately relevant (then de-elevate them).
