The issue is the vast majority of the population will be perfectly happy with the new world order
Not necessarily. It depends. They are fattened and appeased right now because the "free" debt money spigot is open wide. On the backside of 2017, they are not going to like the pain, which will open opportunities to get them interested in online commerce so they can earn some income during the downturn coming. The elite know this and that is why will try to lock everything down with capital controls from 2017 to 2020 at least, so they can complete their global monetary reset.
So the key is to work on projects which won't be in violation of any capital controls. Think small such as microtransactions. The government can't possible put capital controls on microtransactions.
I have a specific plan now (which wasn't formulated when I spoke to you all in private) and it is doesn't involve air drops to n00bs. Also I have diversified my plan so that if the crypto currency aspect of my project fails, I will still have the social networking aspect which I can continue.
...if I can help to secure some VC funding for them. IMHO that's what you need as well: to formalize your operation and go with a serious VC or group of angel investors. I understand you can get some support here but the trouble which comes with the money from this platform simply does not worth the support. You have to explain all day long to speculators, young, inexperienced and uninformed "investors" every steps you do. I think you would be in a more desirable position, more productive and eventually more successful if you would work with VC investors instead of trying to get support on this platform.
I had enough offers for angel funding before ($100,000+) June that I tried to find a programmer to work with me. But it is very difficult to find programmers at my level who are willing to work for a smaller payscale and not also burden the coin with a huge premine. And to increase their pay means a larger angel investment which also could create a huge premine, depending on the terms. I find it very slow to conceive of stopping my coding now to try to go organize that. I am thinking I can get a rudimentary launch done within months and from there generate the funding necessary to refine it further with a small team of developers.
When selecting a team of developers, I would much rather select from a larger pool than here on this forum. I want people who are smarter than me and who are easy to work with. Also I think it is easier to select such people once you have an code base so you can see how developers perform on the actual type of work needed. And how the communication load scales. Some pairings of people just aren't able to communicate efficiently to each other, or have misaligned outlooks. Company culture is critical to success. It should feel like a slumber party in order to be successful.
