Any update about the auction? Has it started yet?
not yet, probably won't start until the open Alpha since we want to avoid scam accusation.
good idea! any plans on how the auction will be run? will you hold off on auctioning a couple stakes until just prior to nem launch? i think thats when you will get a huge amount of interest and much higher price!
edit
still looking for pledges towards the multipool!
i have a very strong plan but need pledges and a dev still.. it needs to be stand alone nem pool now in order to implement the full plan!
only 440k pledged so far 300k from 3 generous people so i think we can do much much better seeing as we have 3k stake holders!
We had discussion within NEM core dev, and nem core dev* is almost unanimously
against multipool.
but as utopianfuture noted, there is possibility, for getting funds from ecosystem and/or promotional funds.
I agree here. We are trying to move away from the massive data closets of wasted energy, promoting a multipool that waste energy to get nem is something I am not supportive of.
Better that we just allow folks to obtain NEM in a free market. I would support an exchange more then a multipool. But we are all free to support what we believe in. I wish you luck.
Very well i wont go ahead with it then... Il have to think of something else i can organise lol
For the record, i'm willing to donate to any cause that has reasonable grounds to justify it. I pledged to the multipool idea with an initially small sum to see if the idea came to fruition; and in addition, was prepared to donate more as and when things developed further in a direction i thought of as worthwhile.
This is pretty much my stance on anything that i would otherwise pledge something towards. If an idea works, and is gone about in a way i think is successful, i'm happy to put more into it.
Even though the multipool idea is now out the window, it's important to really share any idea's that spring to mind and to get the ball rolling, just to see where it goes. Without brainstorming, we won't get anywhere. So if you ever get any thoughts, please share.
