How's it going fellow PotCoiners?
I come today bearing a bit more information on all this PotCoin 3.0 business you've been hearing about, and I'm happy to tell you I'll be a big part of this transition.
The goal here is to move PotCoin in the direction it should have taken from the beginning; being a coin that is truly owned, maintained and adapted by its users, the awesome PotCoin community.
Official coin of the cannabis industry? I always hated that term. Let's make it the coin of the cannabis community, unofficially. Organic adoption over time is what can make that official.
The transition begins...Russ has mentioned decentralized autonomous organisations in his recent posts, and that is the end-game that PotCoin will strive to achieve in the long-term. However, this will be a very gradual process taking place over a number of steps -- the first step is facilitating a handover to the community.
Community ownership is awesome, but it must be co-ordinated and structured in a way that it doesn't just fall apart. So, while there's no CEO and no official titles, we have decided to group the community members who participate into two roles; Decentralized Admins and Decentralized Developers.
Decentralized Admins (DA):I will personally be labelled as Lead Decentralized Admin, heading up a core group of community admins who will be responsible for a multitude of tasks, these will include full maintenance of the PotCoin.com website and the PotCoin social media accounts, and everything else that needs to be done to keep things going and growing.
Decentralized Developers (DD)This is a group of people with some kind of development skills, and Russ will be leading this group as Lead Decentralized Developer. These will be the people who not only work on the coin, but also on other tools, services, websites or anything else that can compliment it in some way.
It's likely that some of us will cross between both of these groups at times, and both groups will be working together on the whole.We need to assemble a team of dedicated DAs and DDs. We have been/will be reaching out to some long-term and more involved PotCoin supporters regarding this, but we are also open to applications from anybody out there. Send an email to
[email protected] if you are interested, detailing how you think you may be able to help.
In the future, once everything is rolling, we will decide upon a democratic process so that the whole community can influence future members or leaders in the project.
Revealing the new PotCoin 3.0 model in detailWe want to do this the right way, and are now in the stages of finalizing complete and detailed documentation of the new PotCoin model with the hope to publish it in a week or so from now.
We will be asking potential DAs and DDs to assist with reviewing this documentation, so that when published we can be confident it’s a plan that everyone involved is happy to pursue.
Once published, there will be time for the wider community to analyse the model and bring up suggestions, concerns or things they just plain don’t like about it. Nothing is set in stone, and the community’s feedback will not only be listened to, it will be asked for.
We’ve seen many things that this community is capable of as individuals -- Russ and I believe that if we all work together there is no limit to what we can achieve with PotCoin and the cannabis community.
Stay awesome!

TL;DR - Russ and I are leading the charge towards a community-led PotCoin, and it will be amazing. Need applicants to help. Detailed documentation of plans to come soon.
