[CEO] Preparing For The Top 10

[seraphim]

CSO reporting for duty, the team is already collecting and evaluating useful information.
Will start posting on memorycoin.org soon!

Can you explain the memorywallets, as far as my knowledge goes brainwallets are almost never a good idea. In my SPV wallet it will have a 12 word seed but thats a little different

@Killerbyte and all other programmer of pool software: Maybe you can implement in your code that 1% fee go to your own wallet or something similar 
At the moment I see still one problem.  http://mmcpool.com/ detects about 95% of all blocks with 3.5% fee!!! and I don't know why so few people are changing to other pools .. They are working very good (for example http://mmc.xpool.xram.co with only 2% fee and http://extasie.net/ with only 1.5% fee)

I guess they forgot their botnets there or alternatively, they are looking for a quick profit (which I believe is a decreased profit).
extasie is looking good, finding blocks every day now.

We need 6 pools finding them everyday. I will buy the source and create another pool with incentive to use it. PM me if you can sell me the source

I would like to be CNO as you know, and as its my birthday if someone with the pool software PMs me, I'll buy it and create another pool, and probably pay for some mining on said pool.

Would it be OK if the source code was not opensource but licensed or purchased? There are many top 10 coins out there which dont even have any sort of open source pool software...

Anything that increases availability and lowers cost for pool operators is an improvement.

Open Source > Licensed > Not Available.

What our network needs most is mining on a wide distribution of pools. I think we can most effectively further this aim by publishing open source pool software so that pool operators can focus on competing on reliability, service and price.
Currently a lot of pools are using the same software - a quick win would be to help pool operators to mod this software so it doesn't require passwords - then it can be launched from the GUI with zero-config.
Longer term, I think we want to review P2Pool as candidate for bundling with the GUI.

It is my belief that we're going to be a Top 10 coin within a matter of weeks, if not a matter of days.

So that we are prepared to become and to continue to grow as a Top 10 coin, I want to suggest these priorities to our execs, and for discussion by the wider community.

CSO -
The most pressing priority is to gather all the information about the coin from every corner of the web, and present it, ordered and formatted on the official memorycoin.org website. We also need FAQs with separate pages for each answer. Usually we'll want our support staff to be able to 'answer by URL' so that when they get a question, they can point to the URL with the answer.

CMO -
I think we need a press pack to help news sites who are writing articles about crypto-currencies generally. The more we can help them with this, the more likely we are to get coverage. http://www.squidoo.com/i-want-to-create-a-press-pack

I think the angles that news organizations are most likely to be interested in are
1. Ordinary users (their readers) can run a program on their computer and get MemoryCoin (other coins make this too difficult and aren't efficient for CPUs)
2. Users can store their wealth with their memory (other coins can do this too, but we're going to make a big feature out of it - MemoryWallets)
3. Charitable donations - 1% of the mined currency is earmarked for charity voted on by users

More sophisticated publications might be interested in the DAC aspect of our hiring and voting - that's a really key feature, but difficult to explain in 30 seconds, so I wouldn't push this aspect.

CTO -
I'm going to look at creating a voting interface to make it easy to vote and so that users can see what they have voted for. I'm also going to continue working on the stability of the software and create an installer for windows to make it even easier for users to get started.
