Great job!

Now stuff it all in the top post with a uniform style and a little clickable index. 

What you suggest is exactly what we are doing.   

Well, lets see: You have around 10k PTS in bounties. The logs account for perhaps 3k PTS and 100 BTC. Meanwhile you're getting around 3k PTS and 50 BTC each day in AGS donations; for the first 20 days that's a total of 60k PTS and 1000 BTC.

Bytemaster revealed that 10% will go to marketing, which is the first major statement of allocation I've seen. Other than that I'm sure you guys have a rough plan for how to allocate the remaining 40k PTS and 900 BTC, not to mention how to spend the income from the remaining 180 days.

What I'm suggesting is that it's ridiculously difficult to spend the kind of money you're getting in an efficient way. Part of the reason is that 10 PTS here and 10 PTS there could do amazing things if used creatively. Fortunately, this is the kind of creativity a community can help provide.

On reflecting some more on this, I think you should actually give out bounties for 1) efficient and creative ways to use money and 2) designing a budget plan for the coming year.

I like it!!

"the purpose of this DAC would be to fund CENTRALIZED charity rather than decentralized charity,"
"group trap"

Good points!

"rather than focus on treating symptoms"
"honoring of property rights and equal opportunity"

Medium good points! Sometimes one has to deal with symptoms. Likewise there does seem to be some tension between honoring property rights and equal opportunity.

"All life forms must produce more than they consume or they will die"

I think we should be careful with this quick abstraction. If we define life as necessarily productive then of course non-productive will be non-life, but then it becomes a triviality. Consider "survival of the fittest." When we look at species, they are fit in all kinds of ways, to the point where the word "fit" just means whatever it takes to survive, which makes the original statement circular. The range of life reminds us how impossible it is to intuit in advance the possible forms of survival, e.g. the strength of intelligence, the capital of non-profit organizations, the power of non-violence, etc.

Overall, 8/10 on shutting my idea down.
Back to the drawing board for me!

X% saved for charity fund.
As much transactions fees as possible go to charity fund.
A voting system.
Designed to have an extremely fair launch.

The premine is impossible to use until the coin reaches randomly specified milestones where x sums of money will automatically be given away to the charity with the most votes. This way no one will know in advance when the price falls, small "donations" to the charitycoin will generally push the price in a positive direction leading to speculation, and ever larger donations to charity will increase the publicity of the charitycoin. Would this work? Ideas?

Call it Bitshares Charity and it would be great publicity for Invictus and  AGS/PTS holders even if we earn nothing.

Inb4 bytemaster telling me why I'm wrong and that he has written a novel on this topic.

Under BitShares Developers Conference: "intelectual property," intellectual

AGS site: "Remaining the bitshares" The remaining

I think the site can be improved by thinking hard about how to layout the order and spaces between Bitshares, Bitshares X, Bitshares conference, Keyhotee, Bitshares PTS and Bitshares AGS, and how to interface between them. They're all gems and good arrangement will bring out the true beauty of it.

Today I was pulled off of BitShares X development to focus on marketing and preps for Miami.   You can check out my latest updates to invictus.io here:

Tell me what you think of the updated website.

Good work! I like the intro feeling.

The "Reimagine Everything" title could be more smooth (cheesy fadein?), the font seems too plain for the audacious title. The three logos (bitshares, keyhotee, and bitshares conference) could be clickable, and perhaps bitshares conferences could be placed in a separate zone below bitshares and keyhotee (the logos could perhaps be larger also). Perhaps golden ratio between earthpic and the logo space. Our studio/contact/info could be more aesthetic, it feels like a barren end to the page, and if i click the wiki there's no real interesting information. "Contact us" could be its own stylized element "contact us!"

With a pinch of salt, I am not in any way an artist, and don't even know how this would look. But these are details, it's certainly good enough now. You might use your time better on BTS!

All the best!
