And what shall the stakeholder do?

The coin hasn´t launched and we got no coins.

First of all we have to go live. I don´t see tasks for the community besides this crazy logo thing.

If every stakeholder was doing their part,The devs would not need to discuss raising more funds.

Let's not forget that this is supposed to be a call for participation. Now that nemstakes are on AE, I understand why someone that payed $1000+ for a stake feels that they have done their part, but there are still 2,000+ people who haven't stepped up.

As far as raising funds, what about selling off a portion of the "auctionable stakes", and using those proceeds for the development fund?

I see some people that are already working on getting out. Time will tell.

If anyone keeps track of the progress and release of crypto 2.0 coins, you will notice that there are several promising projects that have been raising a lot of funds, among which are MaidSafe and Ethereum. Unlike these other projects, NEM was created without a large amount of initial funding, giving away most of the stakes for free or for trivial amounts of money. This is good, because it sets us apart from other coins, as a movement marked by equality of opportunity and solidarity without envy.

However, it is also important to realize that in order for NEM to reach its full potential, the community needs to come together and create a vibrant ecosystem that can meet the future needs of our users.

Towards this end, we are planning to prepare to work towards creating key projects required for a comprehensive ecosystem, with an emphasis on mobile apps and a fast, secure exchange, that will fully utilize our upcoming P2P asset exchange. To build this infrastructure, we need to raise funds to compete with the likes of MaidSafe and Ethereum.

Rather than centralize more power with the dev team, we are considering promoting a separate entity that would create and maintain several key ecosystem projects. To create this entity, we should have serious funding to hire full time programmers to work in parallel with the core dev team. This would help us to hit the ground at full speed, right at V1 launch.

If you have any ideas for good ways to raise significant funds (hundreds of BTC), please post them here. I am interested in what kind of thoughts and ideas people have.

How about Mastercoin, they raised 6000+BTC

What now?

For example, Storj is trying to raise 9800 BTC and have already raised 590: http://storj.io/crowdsale.html
With funds like that, it should be possible to really do some incredible stuff that will change world economies.

I like the idea of crowd-selling something that is intrinsically value. I think that would give our movement a good name if we can raise funds while also giving people something worthwhile.

Launch the coin and API sooner rather than later. You can unlock the fund and other potentials that way. How can you raise fund otherwise if you have nothing to show yet ? I test the alpha and it seems stable enough. One the outside, it looks better than most other coin launch.
