      I suggest a new Director of Feathercoins possition is created and funded by donations from people with a vested interests feathercoins

      Feathercoins were 0.00008 at the end of June they are now 0.00004

      Anyone with 18m Feathercoins would of lost 50% value and will lose a further 50% if the price hits 0.00002. However if they give away 9m Feathercoins now they will also lose 50% but the money could be used to create a bitpay for feathercoins and other such things which would help get the feathercoin price back up to 0.0001

        I’ve proposed the creation of a CIC, a Community Interest Company. The hope would be that the company would be used to help fund and accelerate development. It would be able to legally handle donations and assist developers and the community whilst providing an extra layer of trust.

          How is CIC different form rich club? It seems to me like the same.

            CIC is bound by laws in the UK and gives a legal standing for an entity to hold funds for FTC, not just a person, although I had not read up into yet, but I’m sure others could give more detail.

            A rich club would not have to be bound by such laws.

              A community interest company is a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners.

              A CIC is accountable, if the CIC fails to meet it’s intended objective as detailed in it’s incorporation it can be shut down. The CIC would represent the community and not just an elite few. The CIC would have an ‘asset lock’, allowing it to invest in equipment and other assets which are locked into the company, in the event of closure these assets would be transferred to a charity named at incorporation.

                          Wow that seems pretty complex but likley no more so than a normal company. Although there seems to be an annual fee which is charged when you submit your annual report which is mandatory. It could work though :)

                              Not feathercoin itself.

                              An interest group that can be used to help and promote feathercoin, but the CIC will not own feathercoin, nor be held responsible for feathercoin.

                                Think of it more of a gateway between the old and the new world if that makes it easier to swallow. Whilst there are merchants, suppliers, general public or developers who deal in fiat we need an organisation which adds an extra layer of trust and can exist within the boundaries of the current law where we operate. Because for most people, handing over their cash, donating or dealing with faceless organisations is still a worry.

                                  This is an important point. Feathercoin the technology and Feathercoin the ‘foundation’ would be two very separate entities. But the hope would be that the foundation could better facilitate donations, because of it’s accountability. The foundation would be there to assist, and nothing more.

                                    Huston, 2005, p. 51, sec. “Amplifying approach”, second paragraph:

                                    “Philosophically, this exploration requires a shift in our focus: away from pushing against
                                    republican systems to pulling ourselves toward a new, higher-level political system.”

                                        Ignore them, build the trust around the network, surely you shouldn’t even be considering building bonds to FIAT worlds?

                                        You all keep clinging to a corrupt and dying system, and it is dying.

                                        A new system requires new rules

                                          That was my response to Flodbeth’s polarizing post against “authorities”. Jan Huston invested a lot of time and thought into the design of desirable sociopolitical system evolution and distilled it into a paper. So instead of discussing for years, we can just achive a lot of shared understanding by reading the paper. That’s work he has done for us, without knowing who we are.
