[Q&A] Counterparty Foundation Election 2019 Q&A

General Announcements
21

The website is definitely outdated and needs to be refreshed. I’m not saying the functionality of the protocol needs to change I’m saying the way it’s presented needs to be refreshed. Looking at the counterparty website reminds me of websites from 2010. What has been started is truly magnificent but in order for us to continue forward we need to keep refreshing and maintaining the cp image.

As for marketing and promotional activities I speak from a business owner and start up founder. You can make the best product in the world, place it on the shelves of a well-established retail outlet but if no awareness or promotion is created your product will sit on that shelf indefinitely. This is how I feel about counterparty. We have a great product and we have a great shelf space in the crypto community but we don’t have any awareness being generated to drive new users to the platform. This ultimately is achieved through marketing and promotional activities both organic and paid for. If elected I will carry forward these notions to the foundation to develop and deploy a marketing campaign that will drive new user growth.

Where are the individuals asking for votes located?

What do the individuals plan to do specifically with the foundation? What are the most important issues for them and how will they tackle these specific issues? Collecting funds for an org with generalized concepts but no detailed plans or goals makes it difficult to assess future accountability and integrity.

You have $5000 in funds that must be spent within your first month at the new foundation. Break down how you would use those funds and why.

Thanks CP fam.

@GSOS are you Japanese? Do you reside in Japan? If so how can you help counterparty continue to expand its user base in Japan?

Mr.Titanium
Thank you for your question.
yes, I am Japanese.
First of all, let me explain briefly and use XCP to donate to GSOS sales / exhibition site. Companies donated by XCP can be expensed as a total loss treatment, and tax can be saved within the limits of the law.
There is no problem with personal donations, but personal donations can not be expended in Japan.
We will give back a GL token of 0 yen as a proof of donation to companies and individuals who have donated. For the issuance of a 100 million sheet limited GL, the rules are determined by the program but it is 0 yen.
If you make a donation, GSOS assets will increase. This means that the potential value of the GN holder’s holding of XCP goes up.
XCP will be a collateral asset of a new economic system called humanity alternative to capitalism. GSOS will continue to store XCPs until humanitarianism is recognized in the world, benefiting GN holders XCP will raise scarcity value through stable holdings of GSOS.

All this must be legal.

Mr.Titanium
質問有難うございます。
はい私は日本人です。
まずは単純に説明させて頂くとGSOSの販売・出品サイトへの寄付をして頂くためにXCPを利用して頂きます。XCPで寄付した企業は全損処理として経費計上することが出来、法律が認める範囲内での節税ができます。
個人の寄付でも問題ないのですが、日本では個人の寄付は経費処理することが出来ません。
寄付していただいた企業・個人には寄付の証として0円のGLトークンをお返しに差し上げます。1億枚限定のＧＬの発行ははプログラムによってルールが決まっていますが0円です。
寄付をして頂くとＧＳＯＳの資産が増えます。これはＧＮ保有者のＸＣＰ保有という潜在価値が上がることを意味します。
XCPは資本主義に代わる人財主義という新たな経済システムの担保資産となるのです。人財主義が世界で認められるまでGSOSはＸＣＰを蓄え続け、ＧＮ保有者に恩恵をもたらしますXCPはGSOSの安定保有により希少価値が上がっていきます。
これはすべて合法でなければなりません。

Do you have a website? Also is there a wallet address showing the balance of these coins? How many xcp does the gsos I have?

The link has been deleted.

This is our sales site.
We are building a mechanism that allows you to shop in the site currency of GN. Anyone can be a seller. GN has built a system in which the value continues to rise against the yen. Currently, it is possible to purchase only in Japanese yen.

It is an XCP wallet for GSOS.
The donation to GSOS is kept here until it incorporates the mechanism that can be done by XCP.
I will donate this XCP to GSOS and receive a GL of 0 yen as a proof of donation.

GSOS tokens can be viewed by searching with xchain.
That is the wallet I made for the first time. The token is moved by the system, so it is not permitted for me personally to move the token.

While I am currently located in Michigan travel is no problem and am ready willing and able to go anywhere I see an opportunity. From dinner in Japan with RarePepe creators and collectors to the offices of EverdreamSoft in Geneva, and later this month in dwebcamp outside of San Fran I bring with me everywhere the notion of cryptoart in form and practice while continuing my education from my peers. I am also personally considering relocation in order to facilitate more frequent trips, and am currently considering Indianapolis but open to opportunity.

Current Issues for Foundation Attention
Being one person in a chorus of five will bring most efforts to the forefront that can be unanimously agreed upon. These issues that are outlined as a group as affecting the organization can be given plans of action for each. I am sure that there are other ideas that have yet to be spawned from an environment where an exchange can happen between members. Case in point the more actionable mechanisim that is the Foundation’s responsibility is regular meetings. In addition to having regular public meetings hosted online there should be as many if not twice as regular board meeting to hold eachother accountable and make sure that there is a consistent coordinated effort. It appears holding such meetings after public ones would help the members hash out solutions they agree on publicly.

Other issues that need to be addressed immediately can be best typified in the following answers. What needs to be agreed upon most is a cohesive plan of action that involves pressing topics like legal/tax status of the problems that were highlighted in previous meetings. There are hard number issues like paying tax dues if needed and also more abstract difficulties, like the concern of jurisdiction relocation to facilitate compliance.

$5000 in 30 days
Best case scenario the Foundation gets together on day one and hashes out an agreed-upon process for responsibly sourcing the funds. As an organization there is already BTC and XCP available, to the best of my understanding there is no current USD balance, nor is there a bank account to hold it. Therefore let us temporarily bypass that aspect for the sake of conversation assume that there is already a way for the foundation to use the funds as an organization.

There are many qualified Accountants and Lawyers who may specialise in blockchain technology, but still, require USD for services rendered. In order to crowdsource capabilities of the community, there can be bounties set up which offer the entire USD to the specialist and the add on accomplishment tokens will go to the referrer. This gamified mechanism will help the Foundation by sourcing many qualified applicants and affording CounterParty as a whole to select the work of the most qualified volunteer.

In such cases, it is typical that the task requirements are made public along with the payment total. Some websites for sourcing bounty services may be effective, the accomplishment should fit best into legacy mechanisms of the established protocol in order to be legitimate. That is to say that while following CIP in most cases is an objective, ttbomk this kind of service industry is incompatible. As an organization, we need to have a relationship with a competent Lawyer and Accountant that will last throughout of evolution to the next stages.

Due to the nature of the numbers in the example and the state of affairs, the following is loosely suggested.

  • $1000 Budget to enable the promotion on demographic websites not accepting BTC
  • $2400 To be paid after work is complete by Lawyer
  • $1400 To be paid after work is complete by Accountant
  • $200 Related fees for handling money

Lawyers Assignment

  • Review the Bylaws for complicity with current Delware blockchain law.
  • Investigate and report the benefits and drawback of relocating to WY or other
  • Attend a private virtual meeting the Foundation in order to facilitate a compliant plan of action

Accountant Requirement

  • Review bylaws and advice of lawyer previously mentioned.
  • Determine if and how to pay past due amounts in order to return good standing, if applicable
  • Confirm or suggest best practices in a financial plan of action for concurrent books of service rewards and accounts for payment for service dues to outside parties

Again, the above is subject to approval from the majority vote, or more desirable, consensus. These responsibilities will be made public and marketed by community members for two weeks. The Foundation will take Three business days to come to an agreed plan of action from the pool of propositions from candidates. The chosen service providers have one week to provide the completion of their approved proposal in order to get paid the full amount. This should allow two to four days to accommodate for unforeseen delays in order to pay out the funds before the passing of the month.

This kind of work should precede the allocation of funds to various development efforts. The immediate exception that comes to mind before I hit submit button is domain renewal. I would not want to lose any current brand equity dues. Related project domains need to be extended until the next election period, either May or July of next year depending on the conventional interpretation of the date for the next election.

thanks for the amazing questions!
I look forward to the other answers and further unique perspectives

Greetings, all
Nominee No.1
Hon. Larry Shelton

Foundation
As proof from the Bitcoin Foundation, showed us; Bitcoin is here to stay! I have been influenced by the growth of the RarePepe creators and collectors and many other projects here. As with anything that takes time and development there is a need for a solid foundation to start. Counterparty being the first core platform and layer for bitcoin and its extended financial applications, the Counterparty Foundation will be the next important move for the Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology Industry. There is much that can be accomplished without a foundation, but the numbers from the Bitcoin Foundation proves above all the other cryptographic systems that a strong legal structure and technological foundation can and will succeed above all. The security XCP provides through is financial applications that extend the Bitcoin protocol allows for the counterparty community to establish a transparent election and appoint community elected community directors that will operate as trustees for the entire Counterparty Community and also the extended parties that will all assist in making Bitcoin a standardize digital monetary system. Bitcoin and Counterparty go hand and hand similar to bacon and eggs. The Foundation should compliment the needs of all beneficiaries of the Counterparty Community. In law, a foundation is sufficient preliminary evidence of the authenticity and relevance for the admission of material evidence in the form of exhibits or testimony of witnesses. The Foundation in this sense will act as an Arbitration Board for dispute, concerns, and General Operation Management for the community internal affairs. The affairs may pertain to development, marketing, and outreach, legal compliances, government procurements, and all other sustainable developments that may need immediate attention and forward action from community directors. A foundation (also a charitable foundation ) is a category of nonprofit organization or charitable trust that will typically provide funding and support for other charitable organizations through grants, but may engage directly in charitable activities. Foundations include public charitable foundations, such as community foundations, and private foundations which are typically endowed by an individual or family. The term “foundation” though may be used by organizations not involved in public grantmaking.

Legal entities existing under the status of “foundations” have a wide diversity of structures and purposes. Nevertheless, there are some common structural elements.

Legal requirements followed for the establishment that the Counterparty Foundation should be aware of that will be one of my concerns as an elected foundation member.

  • Purpose of the foundation
  • Economic activity
  • Supervision and management provisions
  • Accountability and auditing provisions
  • Provisions for the amendment of the statutes or articles of incorporation
  • Provisions for the dissolution of the entity
  • Tax status of corporate and private donors
  • Tax status of the foundation
    Some of the above must be, in most jurisdictions, expressed in the document of the establishment. Others may be provided by the supervising authority at each particular jurisdiction.

Foundation 101
The term “foundation,” in general, is used to describe a distinct legal entity. Foundations as legal structures (legal entities) and/or legal persons (legal personality), may have a diversity of forms and may follow diverse regulations depending on the jurisdiction where they are created. Foundations are often set up for charitable purposes, family patrimony and collective purposes.

In some jurisdictions, a foundation may acquire its legal personality when it is entered in a public registry, while in other countries a foundation may acquire legal personality by the mere action of creation through a required document. Unlike a company, foundations have no shareholders, though they may have a board, an assembly, and voting members. A foundation may hold assets in its own name for the purposes set out in its constitutive documents, and its administration and operation are carried out in accordance with its statutes or articles of association rather than fiduciary principles. The foundation has a distinct patrimony independent of its founder.

Community foundations (CFs) are instruments of civil society designed to pool donations into a coordinated investment and grant-making facility dedicated primarily to the social improvement of a given place. Community foundations are a global phenomenon with 1700 existing around the world of which over 700 are in the United States. Private foundations are typically endowed by an individual or a single family. This family can be our globally connected Bitcoin & Counterparty Community as one Global Family.
Community foundations are independent registered philanthropic institutions serving geographically defined territory, typically a city or administrative area (county, region and the like). The six main characteristics of the CFs:

  • Act as grant-making foundations – e.g. give grants to support development projects
  • Their mission broadly defined – e.g. to improve quality of life in a community
  • Serve geographically defined communities – a city, state, region, district or province
  • Are supported by a broad range of private as well as public donors and seek philanthropic contributions primarily from inside the community
  • Are governed by multi-sectoral, local boards reflecting the community
  • Build capital endowment, which is an important element of sustainability

It is a combination of all these basic characteristics what makes true CF, although there are many other types of community organizations that have some of these characteristics. Families, individuals, businesses, and nonprofit groups establish funds within community foundations into which they can contribute a variety of assets to be used for charitable purposes. The people or organizations that establish the funds can then recommend that grants be distributed, in the name of the fund or anonymously, to qualified nonprofit groups and schools. In the USA the donor receives a charitable tax deduction in the year that gifts are made into their funds, but not all countries where community foundations currently operate provide such incentives for donors. Increasingly, community foundations are hosting giving circles as a way to further support giving in their communities.

The assets of community foundations are pooled and invested, with donors typically having a choice of investment products. The funds established at community foundations can be non-endowed or expendable funds (i.e., the corpus of the fund can be spent in its entirety) or they can be endowed, which limit distributions to the interest earned on the assets and/or the amount granted by the foundation as long as the corpus is not spent. Endowments last in perpetuity due to the corpus never being able to be spent. As an elected Foundation member I am prepared to give endowments to develop, market, and secure all the growth of all potential CIP’s and other components needed for sustainable operations of the entire community. The first financial task we should undertake is our investments as a Foundation through a well establish a trust fund and portfolio of Bitcoin mining investments, and all other departments of important concern, for example. We will need financial applications for Tax’s, Loans, Insurance, Mortgages, Medical, governments, and payment networks of all kind, etc, and this may require and or may not require new CIP’s for the Community. Each bounty and suggested micro-reward, & the incentive(s) for developers and foundation members of all parties, can be funded through the main investment with Counterparty’s big brother Bitcoin. There should be a party registration for all parties or project to become featured exclusively on the Counterparty.io base site. There are other complimentary P2P systems that Bitcoin and Counterparty Smart Contracting Blockchain Financial Technology can collaborate with that I will introduce as a Foundational member. Community Exchanges can be adopted by all parties of the Community depending on their applicability with that respect the integrity of the Bitcoin and other P2P Complimentary systems for attache external exchanges and there is no need for any side-chains.

Location
I am from Houston, Texas, and I look forward to meeting all Counterparty movers and shakers anywhere they may be. As a Foundation Member, I would like to make the community aware of the importance of decentralization in the operation of the community. The global decentralization of the Bitcoin protocol allows us as the smart contract layer foundation to establish smart contracting communities globally, working with the most secured and original smart contract system for the bitcoin blockchain.

Current Issues for Foundation Attention
The issues that are outlined for the Foundation and the community that is affecting the growth of our global organization, can be given solutions, plans, incentivized plans of action for each. This is the Foundation’s responsibility along with regular meetings and as further stated by another nominee. And I quote “In addition to having regular public meetings hosted online, there should be as many if not twice as regular board meeting to hold each other accountable and make sure that there is a consistent coordinated effort. It appears holding such meetings after public ones would help the members hash out solutions they agree on publicly.”

Other issues
Nominee Concern:
What needs to be agreed upon most is a cohesive plan of action that involves pressing topics like legal/tax status of the problems that were highlighted in previous meetings. There are hard number issues like paying tax dues if needed and also more abstract difficulties, like the concern of jurisdiction relocation to facilitate compliance.

RE: I Hon. Larry Shelton, have done as much legal advocating as I can for the entire Community of Counterparty in the private sector of Government in the past 5 years along with others. I have established the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal and Action through SDG Action No. 27655 Registration number for the Sustainable Development Goal using Counterparty.io to end world poverty and help with all 17 SDG goals of the United Nations. The traction I have gain for Counterparty, the new Foundation, and the entire community to establish standardized smart regulations and legal remedies to be utilized by all in the community looking to establish sustainable projects. This is a comprehensive plan and goal that the entire community has the opportunity to participate in. The legal precedence that is in place now due to are being around for some years and other legal protections we all should learn about as an entire community. The use of international lawyers and other important professions that are mention will be important as we all develop important and core project that will benefit all tokens and extended applications, & parties within the Community. Striving for a international business structure and asset protection give benefits to all participants in the global community of Bitcoin and Counterparty.

>NOMINEE: Best case scenario the Foundation gets together on day one and hashes out an agreed-upon process for responsibly sourcing the funds. As an organization there is already BTC and XCP available, to the best of my understanding there is no current USD balance, nor is there a bank account to hold it.

RE: Through a legal entity for the Counterparty Foundation as established as a trust foundation can establish a trust account with a well establish and trusted the financial institution to be the primary account provider for the Foundation or our own interally own Institution similar to the CES exchanges on behalf of the entire community. I will push for establishing any new CIP in the regards of the needs from the community and developers as a community director. I offer to also to push for a OLD FIAT BASE e-wallet into the Counterparty Protocol. Where USD or any old fiat can be electronically held and attached in a cryptographic counterparty wallet. This wallet should also appear in the General Public Ledger through Xchain.io. Even if un-elected I would still like to assist and consult with those who pioneer in these endeavors.

Therefore let us temporarily bypass that aspect for the sake of conversation assume that there is already a way for the foundation to use the funds as an organization.

RE: We should as foundation members push for immediate marketing and outreach of the platform and focus our general fund towards secure investments in bitcoin mining and bringing in a large bitcoin mining partner to team up with the community. Generating immediate internal revenue by using select tokens of the community to operate as legal tender like the Nomni for the SDG action no. 27655, we will have no excuse for our lack of progression at this point. We should incentives every department of the foundation and especially for developers and project managers and curators.

There are many qualified Accountants and Lawyers who may specialize in blockchain technology, but still, require USD for services rendered. In order to crowdsource capabilities of the community, there can be bounties set up which offer the entire USD to the specialist and the add on accomplishment tokens will go to the referrer. This gamified mechanism will help the Foundation by sourcing many qualified applicants and affording CounterParty as a whole to select the work of the most qualified volunteer.

RE: This can be fixed immediately through a private smart contracting through the private sector of the government. There are also benefits in smart contracting as a community through the SDG Action No. 27655 allowing us to establish smart regulations as the standard community for this, as we deserve, shall, should, and will be. The assistance from international lawyers, organizations, and government bodies will help us streamline the utilization of Bitcoin smart contract layer almost overnight.

In such cases, it is typical that the task requirements are made public along with the payment total. Some websites for sourcing bounty services may be effective, the accomplishment should fit best into legacy mechanisms of the established protocol in order to be legitimate. That is to say that while following CIP in most cases is an objective, this kind of service industry is incompatible. As an organization, we need to have a relationship with a competent Lawyer and Accountant that will last throughout evolution to the next stages.

RE: As a nominee I propose a SRO’s (Self-Regulating Organization) for the entire community that operates similar to the existing parties in the communities. Exercising international law through our global demographics and outreach, & already well established legal and international interstate affairs for the community. I also propose a Management and Budget Community Director or Accountant of some sort. This is included but not limited to a well organized internal community tax board and a party of professionals. As apart of the SDG Action No. 27655 using the Counterparty platform we have begun to already developing privately towards these goals for the Private Sectors of the Government for the benefit of the entire community and global village. Through this, we can continue to attract the poeople to fulfil the needs of legal and financial management assistance we need for the entire community. Bitcoin is operating globally now; therefore we have the potential for global recruitment for our immediate needs for professional human resources. This asset base system utilizing bitcoin will be an immediate game changer. I feel we are making history with all this as we speak. We are speaking and curating new smart regulations into existence as we speak. The more assistance the better I feel and propose.

Due to the nature of the numbers in the example and the state of affairs, the following is loosely suggested.

$1000 Budget to enable the promotion on demographic websites not accepting BTC
$2400 To be paid after work is complete by Lawyer
$1400 To be paid after work is complete by Accountant
$200 Related fees for handling money
Lawyers Assignment

RE: BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT FOR COUNTERPARTY
$1000 Fund to enable the promotion on demographic websites not accepting BTC
$2400 Fund Mining Generator to generate capital revenue gains (Non-Cloud Base)
$1400 Fund to be paid after work is complete by Community Accountant & Developers
$200 Fund Related fees for handling money Community Lawyers Assignment

RE: I propose the capital structure for Global Asset Protection Bylaws and for complicity with current private International law instead of using Delaware or maybe even a Nevus Trust Structure or some international trust safe haven.

Accountant Requirement

Review bylaws and advice of lawyer previously mentioned.
Determine if and how to pay past due amounts in order to return good standing, if applicable. Confirm or suggest best practices in a financial plan of action for concurrent books of service rewards and accounts for payment for service dues to outside parties

Related project domains need to be extended until the next election period, either May or July of next year depending on the conventional interpretation of the date for the next election.

RE: For the Chosen Account Community Director, I propose the standard use of GAAP and other well know financial accounting principles. Such as the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, or GAAS are sets of standards against which the quality of audits are performed and may be judged.

The Ten Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP)

  • The Business as a Single Entity Concept: A business is a separate entity in the eyes of the law. …
  • The Specific Currency Principle: …
  • The Specific Time Period Principle: …
  • The Historical Cost Principle: …
  • The Full Disclosure Principle: …
  • The Recognition Principle: …
  • The Non-Death Principle of Businesses: …
  • The Matching Principle:

The generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) are the standards you use for auditing private companies. GAAS come in three categories: general standards, standards of fieldwork, and standards of reporting. The general ledger of the Block Explorer will provide the much-needed data for any typical professional accountant using these financial principles through a transparent system. The audits will provide the community and participants in the different markets of the community full clarity for investments, and directives for the entire community as a whole. I propose the creation of an accounting association for the community and began incentives for these and more needed specialist position need for the foundation of the community and the market of the community. This will set the standard all financial accounts that will participate globally through the smart contract layer and protocol of Counterparty through CIP’s and special financial applications and functional user-cases using Counterparty protocol layer for Bitcoin. Jdog has already gave the numbers for the past 6 years or so this is a great start.

As mentioned by a fellow nominee; great ideas, and smart proposal we can move Counterparty back into mainstream media. If not the base Counterparty.io or a new extended project of the community that is more attractive to the public as the front-face product or service for the community as we will begin to be known for, and as the more secure and popular standard for smart contracting and also as the core community we represent for, and as in this global Financial Tech-space. This community is the core community that can and will move bitcoin into being the new global standard monetary system. This is why I feel it is important we position our self as a community and Foundation Members together that we all to work towards Sustainable Development and utilization of the Sustainable Development Goal and Action No. 27655 and many more to come.

I read this sentence as saying that the foundation will “invest in bitcoin” and the profit will be used as micropayments to “members of all parties”? What do the participants do to earn micro-rewards in your plan? How does this specific plan of action help the bigger efforts at hand?

This is an important differentiation that needs to be kept in tact. There is a plausable denyability for unsanctioned content on the platform. However, the listing of a project on the appropriate prexisting page of the official community website implies that it is approved. This is not the case for projects with unaudited code. The more highly questionable the motives of the project is, the less likely it should be mentioned anywhere in the official website in any capacity that may be construed as a recommendation to the public

:upside_down_face:

skipping much of what needs to be ignored i would like to caution you that IMHO-FYI copying from wikipedia is not considered to be informative. I would also refrain from copying from other candidates. It is distasteful and unethical. Please attempt to respond to the questions or ask more questions, instead of attacking my answers. I realize the irony in this request, yet it is still worth considering. My point still remains: back seat drivers have no place in leadership roles

QUESTION to you:
What evidence do you have that the path to world government recognition and permission is a unanimous goal of this community?

ALSO, who is the Candidate in running for the election, Hon. Larry Shelton OR H.I.M Dr. Lawiy Zodok El?

[observation]
There needs to be a social contract in place for Code of Conduct in chatrooms and social media. This policy should govern the official chat on any platform and be referenced if any behaviour is deemed unacceptable by the community. Frankly, as many users know, there are several rooms on telegram with our project as the main topic. AFAIK there is only one Discord Server To the best of my ability I will be there as cryptoart to discuss any pressing issue in real time. I am also on telegram (usually) even while sleeping, message me anytime during the campaign if you feel it is important enough to talk privately.

There are many small things that may not be readily apparent nor should be announced as a pivoting action to the realization of all goals at once. However, it can be through a confluence of circumstance that this community positions itself to be able to handle the possible scaling for overnight success. One such minor improvement that is very easy for a Foundation to enact is the ability to facilitate accountability by making sure any site (especially this one) is compatible with archive.is and archive.today Otherwise, if such a suggestion is from a user the importance may be overlooked easily.

Greetings, Ducan

I greatly appreciate your response. You can find the following answers in response to your correspondence below.

RE:
The Foundation in this sense will act as an Arbitration Board for dispute, concerns, and General Operation Management for the community internal affairs. i.e. (filing legal documents, registrations, financial statements, taxis and marketing ads campaigns). Community foundations (CFs) are instruments of civil society designed to pool donations into a coordinated investment and grant-making facility dedicated primarily to the social improvement of a given place. i.e. The given place would be Counterparty Community Hubs and Parties where ever they may be centrally or decentralize located (websites, physical locations, etc). The investment being the Bitcoin mining and partnerships, would be utilized by the entire community as stated.
The six main characteristics of the CFs: …Act as grant-making foundations – e.g. give grants to support development projects
Their mission broadly defined – e.g. to improve quality of life in a community
Serve geographically defined communities – a city, state, region, district or province
Are supported by a broad range of private as well as public donors and seek philanthropic contributions primarily from inside the community
Are governed by multi-sectoral, local boards reflecting the community
Build capital endowment, which is an important element of sustainability.

Many things can be name when there is a vast cash receivables that can be listed for all parties and what they may intake so that they need to establish package investment in mining plans, purchasing other certain tokens offered for specific applications used to trade, hedge and leverage over into mining funds to cycle through Counterparty Based Organizations and Financial Institutional Users of the Technology.

There is many who agree the community needs a market upgrade and or makeover. The need for more updates and a more professional approach so we can sustain the core needs and developments so quality projects are displayed to the global community and those who will be receiving their first impression of the counterparty platform, the premiere platform and smart contract layer for bitcoin. Our marketing and presentation are very important and reflects on all parties involved. Therefore it should be a tend setting procedure set for screening important projects needs for the community. Starting with the important listed categories. We have the position to be the next crave for the bitcoin legacy. Therefore there need to be more attractive incentives for new developers, developments, and legitimate codes being developed for more CIP’s.

Dear Jdog, director candidates, and community members,

I assume that I am not the only one who has noticed some posts in this thread relating to religious group(s), links to religious organization(s), and use of what appear to be religious titles.

I respect the concept of freedom of religion, but given counterparty’s already perilous positioning in the cryptocurrency/token economy, I think it best that the new launch of the new counterparty foundation not be associated with any particular religious group or philosophy.

I will not make any specific suggestions regarding how this should be handled, but I strongly suggest that the community consider ways to prevent religious thinking/associations from influencing discussion of the future of CP.

Warm regards,

Greetings, IJIN

I greatly appreciate your response. You can find the following answers in response to your correspondence below.

RE: I am sorry to inform you IJIN that there was no association made between the Counterparty Foundation and any specific faith and the Counterparty Community. I mention my position as a minister and Goodwill ambassador and clearly left the personal credentials concerning me. I would appreciate if you didn’t try to attack me subliminally by making false complaints about my positioning as a humanitarian and my efforts to spread this mission of Counterparty through my Global Interfaith Network, and International Organizations, which is not a specific religion or culture base. My position as a chaplin is universal which affords me the ability to act as a private spritiual counsel for any organization or body politic. The definintion as stated here: A chaplain is, traditionally, a cleric (such as a minister, priest, pastor, rabbi, purohit, or imam), or a lay representative of a religious tradition, attached to a secular institution such as a hospital, prison, military unit, school, labor union, business, police department, fire department, university, or private chapel. There are also chaplains to private clubs, television or radio stations, family, community teams, groups such as Boys’ and Girls’ Brigade companies and Scout troops, airports, cruise ships, nightclubs, the internet including Facebook (see “Internet Chapel” in Facebook) and theaters. If you would like to know more about me you can use the following personal contact information for me Hon. Larry Shelton.

Hi Poorshun,

I am located in the sunny lands of Florida!

The first thing I would do with the funds is address the money owed to Jeremy for the upkeep of the servers while in operation during the foundation displacement.

I’m incrediably bullish on the CP protocol.

So I think the best use of our funds is to let the funds appreciate!

Augur made a huge mistake of converting their illegal ICO to USD at $200 BTC.

I don’t think it is a wise decision to spend funds at such a low suppression price while the rewards may be so great.

To understand my point of view.

If Augur would of held the funds for a few years, they would of had 100x of their illegal raise! Instead of $2,000,000, they would of had $200,000,000. A huge mistake!

I do not want Counterparty repeat in their misery.

I’m extremely bullish and I think the best thing we can do is let our funds appreciate!

Additional note to the Counterparty Community

XCER - I was banned from Official Counterparty chat by Helene over two trolls who may have no votes. It’s completely unacceptable!

This is a deeply troubling issue to me. It is election suppression!

While my language may have not been proper at times that violated the chat rules, I was not aware such a document of rules existed.

I did not use vulgar language towards others, rather as an adjective to express my enthusiasm. :rocket:

When Jdog suggested I read the rules, I did and I apologized for breaking the rules as I was unaware they even existed.

They often say honest people curse. I did not do it to degrade anyone!

Helene threatened to block me from the room if I made another comment. Understand,
my comment was in regards to apologizing and making others aware that I did not know such a document existed.

Helene messaged, “say another word and you are blocked”.

I do not have the chat as a reference since I was blocked, but I said of the sort “you are going to block me for apologizing?”

In return I was blocked!

While Helene may be a repsected member of the Counterparty community, one person should not have the ability to suppress candidates.

Frankly, I am embarrassed by this! It’s embarassing that we would act like a dictatorship!

During election periods, candidates should not be able to be blocked from the Offical Counterparty room.

Not American! Our first amendment right that makes our country great!

Ironically on 4th of July! :us:

I am requesting Helene to reverse the decision made and do what’s right for our community!

I will not stand to be intimated by anyone if what I am saying is the truth! This is America! :us:

The last foundation broke up over arguing!

Started by trolls!

The CP needs a candidate like me who will stand up for what’s right no matter the consequences!

Leading the foundation, I will never let it break up! My promise to the CP community!

I will work 24/7 to make CP the greatest platform on the :earth_americas:!

I am deeply troubled by Helene’s actions and should be addressed immediately!!

Unfortunately, now I must post this link in other rooms that have disrespected our great leader Jeremy.

I have no other choice since the official room has banned me.

Does Helene have the power to suppress my voice here also?

This isn’t a little problem, it’s a huge problem! It’s incrediably embarrassing!!!

While I’ve always had respect for Helene, I lost a lot of it tonight. Helene should not have these powers if they are going to be abused to suppress candidates voices!

Ryan Baptiste :us:

みなさんとこの場所で貴重な意見を拝見できることは自分も貴重な経験になっています。皆さんに感謝申し上げます。私も出来る限り貢献したいと思います。物事は同じ出来事でも自分の感性と他人の感性は違う事を推測することも大切なことだと思います。

私は以前にこの問題を経験しました。 自動翻訳は両方の言語の知識に代わるものではありません。 効果的にコミュニケーションをとるためには、ブロックチェーンを理解している人が必要です。 あなたがバイリンガルではない場合、あなたはGoogle Translate以外のボード上のあなたの位置を可能にするための専用のリソースを持っていますか？
さらに。 いつ言い換えが必要かを知ることは、結果を母国語に翻訳し直すことによって達成できます。 ただし、業界固有の知識に関する詳細は正確性を最も失う可能性があります。

Thank you for your responses. I intend to re-read them shortly in order to digest some of the details.

Another possibly relevant topic, how do you all make a living currently? Additionally, before crypto existed, how was your time spent?

Why CP? How should CP and it’s human guided vision serve it’s users in the future? Anything you would change? What are CP’s current strengths and advantages?
