Lately I've been thinking of alternative ways to keep BitShare's oldest movement.
We at Beyond Bitcoin have worked tirelessly for nearly 2 years and have become a foundation for all the bitshares community to join in and get "inside information" as though they are part of the core dev team. This is the only place where anyone can join and have a voice that is on level ground with everyone else--and a place where they can record and report live without being forced to show press credentials. Or charged outrageous fees to join. But these are not the only benefit offered.
Over these years, we have had some who have worked with us for long periods of time and still others whose efforts have been interspersed and inconstant. Yet they have worked and volunteered their time nonetheless....
Multiple volunteers have run beyond bitcoin since the very beginning of bitshares, and some were given small sums of bts funding via a delegate, but the delegate's pay did little to actually compensate them. In fact many of those volunteers then even gave a substantial portion of their earnings to other initiatives, like minebitshares (now bunkermining).
So we are the types of people who are not afraid to help others who are not part of "Beyond Bitcoin". We represent a demographic that looks to
Uplift Everyone! These selfless people have asked for very little and have given back far more in return...and for this reason, I have recently begun paying volunteers of bitshares' beyond bitcoin movement in brownies. Not only this, but it is my full intention to work with project leads to begin looking at brownie holders as one of the most potent sharedropping targets in the ecosystem...perhaps second only to bitshares itself.
With brownies, however, I no longer need to worry about paying our community with funds from a delegate or worker proposal and asking them to put those limited funds back into the community. We can simply create value together...and the brownie supply will expand to reflect that value.
So if you are a person who has done a great deal of work for bitshares, and feel as though you sacrificed at great opportunity to yourself (aka working on something else with lower risk and higher reward) I see you as the foundation of bitshares...and I'd like to
recruit and
compensate you to help bitshares itself become a place where volunteers do not have to worry they will be overlooked.
That is why brownies exist...for people like you.
So now that I have opened a
discussion to identify brownie holders, the next step is to for the first time open a discussion to identify those who would be interested in doing
volunteer work for brownies(pts).
If you are interested in this proposition, please post a reply here to let me know. Shortly after you have done this, I will ensure to reach out to you personally to find out more details regarding your ideas and options.
Some people with big ideas that the community backs might even be given brownies to distribute for their own cause! Many quests will need done for many people in the bitshares ecosystem, after all, and I believe brownie lovers are in the perfect position to help all of bitshares--because they are its most selfless servants...they are a silent guild filled with the ranks of our heroes.
So please post in this thread if you are interested in volunteering to help us, and we will coordinate to ensure you can--and will ensure you are given many hugs for doing so. It is time to bring this to the next level everyone---and we only do this by leveling up every hero bitshares has...not by ignoring them and hoping they will force others to compensate for their work. A free market is necessary, but taking care of those who generally work for a higher cause is also essential...and those people tend to be the ones who never ask. I want to change that paradigm...because I think it is an important step in changing today's more macro level paradigm.
