I think we need to empower members of the community to do more. It seems that people don't want to just be volunteers, so we will reward people based on the outcome and impact of their tasks.
The process is like this:
[li]Anyone can propose a task by writing it in this thread.[/li]
[li]The core marketing team will review the task and approve or reject it. If approved, criteria for evaluation, reward amount, and budget (if applicable) will be announced.[/li]
[li]Approved tasks will be announced publicly and anyone can apply to work on the task.[/li]
[li]Upon completion, the outcome and impact of the task will be evaluated by the core marketing team and a reward decided on. Ongoing tasks, like running a help desk/etc, will be evaluated every 1 or 2 months by the core marketing team.[/li]
We might modify the process some as we continue, but for now, please propose some specific tasks in this thread.
To propose, please provide:
[li]Task Name[/li]
[li]Brief description[/li]
[li]Expected outcome and impact for NEM[/li]
[li]Expected costs (if applicable)[/li]
TASK NAME
Increasing popularity of NEMcoin. The growth of its exchange rate.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The NEM is an excellent crypto-currency, backed by outstanding developers. Yet this is not enough for its success. If there is no established mechanism for a tangible linkage with economic and political realities, it will remain a virtual toy only.
To start with, the NEM vitally needs an official status of at least a quasi-state such as Liberland. Even it is not a real state, but for a PR sake it suffice. Liberland claims that it needs a crypto-currency. So the NEM should make it the best possible offer. Providing silver coins for its retailers would be such an example.
Given that Liberland comprises just an empty riverbank area of 6 square km, the task is quite feasible for the NEM now. Of course, it should be legally registered with all the formalities.
Moreover, such a binding between the currency and the land creates linkage on the history to this land and revives the two-thousand-year tradition of minting real money. Read more here https://forum.ournem.com/ideas/xem-d274n256rius/
EXPECTED OUTCOME AND IMPACT FOR NEM
Significant expansion and popularity of NEMcins. Strengthening of NEM's stability and competitiveness due to binding to a silver coinage.
EXPECTED COSTS (IF APPLICABLE)
At the first stage, the organizational expenses may include: negotiations and their legal support.
