I would recommend you identify 1 very specific cause you will fund, $2K per month doesn't go far.   If you promise to do everything we know you cannot do it all.   So lets discuss your principles first and will you reveal your real world ID?

Well, i guess it should go the other way around where you reveal your real ID first. Because basically anyone can make a post and promises, and disappear in spring 2015 with a few grands.

At the Moment There are two things I'd love to push forward.
1st is BitEUR acceptance in OnlineShops at least in D-A-CH.
2nd is a App iOS+Android (mobility is the key)
If I'm unsure on what project to fund next, I'll do a community survey.
It is not my Intention to make these decisions on my own, and if the greater community wants me to fund a special project I will follow. But I'm not going to be a sockpuppet.
Sure 2k is not very much but I think every single $ can help growing the ecosystem.
I can also imagine that some Delegates fund projects together with parts of their income.
Sounds like a plan.. but do you have connections to achieve something like that?
Not sure if it's worth going to shops directly and ask if they wanted to accept bitEUR ..

something BIG is needed .. do you have something in mind already?


Mobile app is already in the work by bitsappire and they promised that it will be very modular.. so I'd wait and take a look at what they are doing

Many people know I'm an BitShares enthusiast and that I like to contribute as much as possible.
Besides my normal activities I'd like to do more to grow our community and sharevalue.

I'm not a developer so I can't help on the technology part.
But there are 5 reasons I think it could be worth to participate as full paid delegate.
So I like to hear what the "greater community" has to say in that case, therefor you have the poll above.


[Draft]

5 Reasons You Should Vote Me for Delegate
1. I'll grow the BitShares ecosystem
  • This includes especially bountys for new applications.
    (I already stay in contact with some devs but it is very hard to convince them without money)

2. I'll grow the BitShares community
  • This includes especially promotion campaigns for users and devs in the D-A-CH regions.

3. I'll grow the BitAsset demand
  • All of the monthly income will be converted into BitAssets.
  • All bountys and promotions will be paid with BitAssets.

4. I'll strengthen the BitShares network
  • This includes especially donations for ongoing script, web and client developers but also seed-node operators.

5. I'll be an shining example of transparency
  • All activities and expenses will be shown on my blog.
So I will provide you those 5 extras to my standard activities like translations, my blog, social media activities and the well known monthly Delegates Report.
If you vote me for delegate I'll also get my own domain and webserver for the KettenBlog in 2015.
If you like what I stand for, then please vote for <placeholder>.

Where did you go when you left before?  Why did you leave? Why did you want to come back?

Answering these questions will get you more support if the reasons are good.

Ok so the response to the OP was not that great.
Therefor I'll be not able to sponsor any project with bountys, not the ones I would like nor those the community would have been voted for.
*Do u remember?* Some weeks ago we had a debate about how to compensate keep crypto journalists and BTS supporters for their work and keep them motivated.

This new draft does not include the extras from the OP nor the revealing of my realworld identity.
What do you think?
The meaning of "hardly" in german is "kaum" .. so you better pick "heavily"/"aggressively" or something else ..

+5% for having someone that reviews delegates .. we desperately need that!!
Please also promote your SLATE!!

You should add to the poll "No, I'm not convinced yet" or keep it as simple as "yes/no"

Some remarks:

- "Such a big stake" -> "This stake"
- "No question, the BitShares ecosystem need more" -> "No question, the BitShares ecosystem can pay for many more
- remove that part: "and BitAsset market orders" -- transactions can be done in
  bitUSD, bitEUR or BTS!
- "The Report" -> The report
- Remove that sentence "I know that the KettenBlog is not a game changer but I believe it provides a great source in many aspects."
- The graphics on page 3 is a little blurry
- delegate name needs to be presented more
- If I were you, I would put myself into the bounty section and pay a bounty to
  the work I do on my own and only pay a minor "fee" to may self. 20% sounds too
  much as it has the character of a "fee"
- You will need to pay income tax on delegate pay!! At least that is my
  understanding, need to check with tax attorney though - better set aside a
  portion to pay the tax!!
