Ok, thanks for the positive support, but I’m a bit surprised about the relatively low number of responses. Is the proposal too complex maybe? Or are we hoping for something else better?
I think it can play a useful role with smaller requests to have someone maintaining a website with useful information. Having said that when properly funded larger project will certainly be assessed and voted for.
@pillow, yes we can earmark donations in the fund, but you might be better of to create a project on peer4commit.com yourself when you have very specific objectives. Donate to it and see if someone likes to go with it.
I think the power of the fund is that we can respond faster to requests or opportunities without having to raise money first. Makes us more agile. It also hopefully challenges the community as they know the money is there, they just need to come up with a good proposal and the votes to get it.
Maybe I can give a few examples of projects which might be useful and could be funded:
- Marketing portal with all peercoin services and goodies nicely presented (website can link to it or it can just be a page on website)
- Making a template for a press release
- Providing quality articles for newsletter or website
- Creating video snippets, 10-20 seconds of video promoting aspects of Peercoin for Youtube channel
- Create banners, pictures etc. we can use for Peercoin advertising
- Presenting Peercoin on conference
- Most viewed Peercoin promoting post on Bitcointalk contest
- Hire talking head liking Peercoin (as pillow already suggested)
- Support hosting of interesting projects improving use of Peercoins
- Small seed or support to start Peercoin promoting business selling Peercoin related products
- Best Peercoin in the news, -photo, -article, -on the radio or even -on tv!
Just a braindump, and I’m sure some are better than others and I’m sure you can think of more and better ones.
