I think MineBitShares is one of the most valuable marketing strategies we have ever thought up. Miners care about profit so if we can give them the most profitable pool to mine, they will gladly work with us over time. However, the fees though enough at present are not enough to give it a shot of adrenaline. That adrenaline might be there as partial backup in the case of huge infuxes of people, and also to provide some extra payouts. In Short, I suggest we give it an extra shot (or more) of adrenaline.
It is my opinion that if we got enough delegates together, we could subsidize the payouts of minebitshares to make the pool so insanely profitable that it would not need ANY marketing outside word of mouth. Not only that, if it became an overnight success and reached the #1 pool in a very short period of time, the extra delegate fees could at least help keep those payments more profitable than competitors at scale.
I think this is a time to be bold--and willing to dilute for a really good reason.
For this reason I am posting a poll to see how many delegates each community member would vote for to make it a near-certainty that minebitshares is a success.
Additionally, I will gladly work with Data to speak with the community about the process along the way and ask specific questions that documentation might not wholly answer. Additionally, I will work with him to ensure everyone knows where the delegate fees are going at any time.
Please take a moment and really consider how valuable it would be to BitShares entire ecosystem if we could have the No 1 ranked multipool before answering this poll. Imagine the rifts it would heal between DPoS and PoW communities. Imagine the volume it would give our bitAssets. Imagine the press we will enjoy when it becomes known that BitShares has solved nearly all of miners' problems. And imagine what the marketcap will look like after everyone figures that out. Then consider that a 100% delegate currently makes approx $800/mo.
*note* the entire crew of fuzzy.beyondbitcoin is donating some of their pay to equal 12.5% of their funds to this project until such a time as it is no longer deemed necessary. If you are a 100% Delegate and would like to donate any % of your delegate pay, please use this thread to make it known.
