Hey @Uninvention and @shelby3: I just wanted to say that:
a. I appreciate both of your ideas about funding, business model, and distribution of the currency, but
b. I don’t appreciate the increasing feeling of discomfort I get from reading this thread. I’d like for this forum to be a calm and friendly place where newbies don’t find people squabbling with each other when they walk in the door, because then I figure those newbies will quietly back out the door again.
As a reminder, here’s my current rough draft of a “Code of Conduct” for this forum:
- We, the moderators, don’t discriminate among topics (for example discussion of alternative ideas or alternative projects, forks, etc.).
- We definitely don’t discriminate among opinions (that would be censorship).
- We do discriminate between helpful and harmful methods of communication. If somebody is being a jerk and souring the conversation for everyone else, we’ll do something about it.

I’m going to ask Maureen Walsh, Zcash Co’s new Public Communications Ninja, to become Chief Moderator of this forum for now.
