+5% Thanks a bunch CLains! I didn't even know this thread existed.

Yeh this is actually one of the things I want to do with Beyond Bitcoin's "BTS Division".  Delegates can be interviewed and asked questions by myself/the community and can get their information out there in another format to reach more people (broad brush strokes).  Then we get delegates who donate a portion of the tx fees they receive (from any DAC's Delegates) to either CLains, BBx, BitSapphire and just recently added project called the "Task Force".

In this way delegates can help fund pretty much all manner of projects from giveaways/tipping to media/education and even development (in the case of BitSapphire).  Then we can bring the project leaders on to answer community questions...etc.  So just so everyone knows...if they want to help pay those who are volunteering, creating a delegate who pays out a % to CLains' project (and some to his pocket, even if we have to hold him down).  So keep that in mind for our super secret meeting (that is so secret we have not yet even planned it).

Yeah I agree they definitively deserve a tip. I wish there was more tipping of the exceptional people who are able to contribute to the hard core discussions but I feel like that is something the core team should do or at least judge. If they are too busy and feel it is a hassle, perhaps I could be a manual tip bot ;)

For now I can divide the remaining 20 PTS on those mentioned, 5 PTS each

agent86
tonyk
arhag
drltc

For what it's worth.. hope it helps at least a littel bit on troop morale.  :D

What about people like agent86, tonyk, and agah(sp?) that keep discussion threads active? I feel their lengthy back and forth posts are really adding a ton of value.

+1 I'd add to the list drltc
Yup, agreed. I'm sure I forgot a few others.

This seems like a worthwhile use of a 1% DNS delegate
Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

From suggestions here I am awarding 10 PTS to each of the following individuals:

- Riverhead
- mauritso
- xeroc
- CoinHoarder

I will also award 20 PTS to MeTHoDx since he had a lot of expenses and we should all pray he continues to do viral marketing, and 30 PTS to fuzznuts, since he has a lot of stuff going on that will need extra cash. Finally I would like to give 20 PTS as promised to GodsCreation in recognition of his awesome designs ;)

I also suggested spending some on an incentive driven proposal to Coinhoarder, so we have some funds in case he decides to do that... In any case that's 110/150 PTS, it's a  small fund, but if anyone have some more suggestions just post them here maybe it helps at least with troop morale. And we all know more is coming eventually ;)

Send me your PTS addresses everyone. Snapshot coming soon ;)

Please CLains. Take 5 pts and out it in your pocket...at the very lest. Even I took 6 pts from what they (I think it was they) sent me a couple months ago. Its insane to say it, but you might even be worse than me at rewarding yourself. Reward yourself...

also, please lets chat one on one at some point.

Fuzznuts suggests we use some portion of it to
pay editors to help out with some hangouts focused specifically on Delegates..

Sounds like a good idea to me.

LOL.  I should have read further rather than getting trigger happy and posting...then finishing the thread.  :P

But seriously, I think if we can build the Mumble Server up right we can create our own content for all projects that accept the social consensus.  To me, those honoring the social consensus will need good reason to do so...and the community is the only entity that has real power with respect to creating the incentives for them to do so. 

And let's face it, if we are doing these events we are helping increase the value of these projects...in which we all hope to gain a diversifying stake.  Education is another important aspect of this adventure as developers and delegates going are able to talk with everyday people and crypto experts alike. These have always been the Beyond Bitcoin volunteers' reasons for doing what we are doing--to produce ethical value by complimenting the BitShares business model.  It also offers us all the opportunity to invest in projects we can prove are legitimate, thus decreasing the risk to those investing in projects. 

Crypto really does create incentives for people to make solid returns...ethically.

The previous 150 went to the following

Meme Creation Thread: 11 PTS
Community Awards: 40 PTS
Micro Bounties: 8 PTS to 12 different people.
Large Bounties: 7 for Xeroc, 3 for Clout, 8 to Strip, 15 to Empirical, 8 to happypatty
Cost to Register Thunderclap Campaign: 32 PTS
Infographic before Dual Snapshot: Xeroc 15 PTS.

Sums to approximately 156 PTS.

I would really like to see if there would be a way to gather some of those funds to use in conjunction with ketton's proposal for delegate elections.  The best way I can see this being done would be to pay someone to edit the content that we produce over the course of a week.  Give Delegates the opportunity to speak for 15-20 minutes and split that up accordingly with A) an overview of how they believe that will bring value to the BitShares ecosystem and B) a Question and Answer period from the community in attendance.  As always, I will gladly organize these events free of charge (though I may need someone to sit in for me on two of those days when the wife is home :P).

Gamey currently edits our Dev hangout with Dan, but I promise if I can get someone proficient at editing and who has the time to do it on a regular basis that I will be able to bring a great number more people on for hangouts...thus increasing the Reach of the BitShares project into other areas of crypto and other areas of community.  There are many people doing great things on this forum alone who would deserve to speak at events.  Let me know where you stand on this.
