General Discussion / How to Give the Beyond Bitcoin Brand to all of You?..
« on: October 15, 2014, 04:25:30 am »
"Beyond Bitcoin" was meant to be given to all of the cryptocommunity--but to start here. It was meant as such because I foresaw many people like myself finding certain developers who showed promise and were interested in making real "coins" with real value propositions (like Dan -Bytemaster- Larimer). I thought that these people should be able to become event organizers who could enable the rest of their community to reach a deeper level of interaction with the Developers and each other. This was what is needed to plant the seed required to grow a foundational network.

***********************************************************************************************************************************************
I currently hold the domains for beyondbitcoinshow, beyond bitcoin, beyondbitcoinx and bbx. Additionally they (and a good many others) have been copyrighted, which I also hold. This was not done because of a profit motive (anyone who knows me knows I am actually terrible at accepting funds for myself without quickly turning around and giving them to someone else for their work). The only reason it was done because even though it was initially meant to be Creative Commons, Arthur changed that by quickly putting up a shell beyondbitcoinshow.com website and adding a "© BeyondBitcoinShow 2014" to the bottom of the site without my //knowledge.
At the time, I hadn't realized this because I was busy actually learning how to use Joomla to build something closer to what JabbaJabba has built for you at BeyondBitcoinx.net...which is far more functional and offers a wonderful incentive for people to connect with each other, learn about/elect delegates, listen live to Mumble events, and just in general do a great many awesome things.
However, as soon as I realized he had done this, I also noted he had done this on another site that he had cloned from the main beyondbitcoinshow site---beyondbitcoinshow.fm. Needless to say, I didn't hesitate to check to see if the copyright actually existed--and thank god it didn't. However, I was not sure of his intention and I did not want to alert him if they were malevolent. So I quietly copyrighted all of them...and purchased the multiple domains to protect it.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************
So now I am here and I am wondering how I can give this brand to those who were supposed to hold it--the entire cryptocommunity, starting with the homebase firmly established here on bitsharestalk.org. I do not want to make a profit off of these...I simply want to give the power to all of you. But I am unsure how to go about it at this juncture. I have neither the time nor the inclination to be a figurehead in this community. I wish only to help us all move forward. I firmly agree with Dan that Bitcoin has largely lost site of what made it so amazing.
His speech at the last conference was wonderful and I couldn't agree more with the parallels he drew between "These United States" and, now, "The United States". I never wanted Beyond Bitcoin to be owned and ruled over by any one individual, but I am unsure how to move forward. Please help me give this freely to all of you...
Does anyone have opinions on how we can work to make this happen?
