1. I see no need to have a charity license for the following reasons. It isn't a charity. You are in the formative stages of development of this collective resource business / commercial entity. Unless VOD has evidence somewhere to the contrary or am I missing something?

2. VOD seems to want to pick out scammers. Why not look directly at Quickseller who is running an anonymous and likely an illegal escrow service internationally. Those sorts of services are most likely well regulated and require people to provide at least BASIC information about who they are to this community. How about we crack on against those who have something to hide. Talk about the potential for abuse and long cons having an ESCROW with no name. If you are so worried why not attack someone currently taking money and doing it anonymously right now and has so for months?

3. Armis if you want transparency you should be posting guarantees about WHO YOU ARE running this venture. Being anonymous is not the right move and sends up some pretty large red flags for me personally.

4. There is no need to BET etc to resolve this issue and challenging people in that way does not build trust at all. BFL Josh favorite tactic to push his con was betting with members of the community to SILENCE THEM PERMANENTLY.

All you need to do is provide a simple short explanation and people can then decide to either support it or not. Put your identity out there with some sort of CV etc so we can measure your worth and value with regards to your proposal. Finally VOD either gives evidence to support his claims this venture requires a charity license. If those conditions are met problem solved and VOD can better spend his time fixing people like Quickseller running potentially long con escrows and find out why Adam Allcock the VAT and Mail Service fraud is backed by Quickseller. That might be a better use of VOD's time and Techshares time.
