Matt608 suggested using the phrase 'CrowdHiring' to describe delegate selection which gained immediate traction over at null. I can see that becoming a big buzzword associated with BitShares in 2015.

I think it only strengthens the reasons to use crowdhiring to explain delegate voting, since what they describe is basically the same thing as what we do. Crowdhiring.com is a business with the ability to crowdhire that makes money by sharing this ability with other companies that gain value from it. Bitshares is a business with the ability to crowdhire that uses it to hire its own employees and thus gain value from it directly.

Yes I didn't mean it was a new word. But you can see how 'crowdhiring' is currently applied is different than our use & it is not very well known.  I'm saying I think crowdfunding is a word understood by a wide market and that the process of delegate selection may become known as crowdhiring as it's easily relatable to crowdfunding, but we will see.
