Thanks for clarifying
I suppose my concern comes from the fact that there is no independent accountability or means of recourse if this group does not deliver on its promises. Everything they are hoping to achieve through this effort could be done more efficiently and with safeguards if donations (for example) flow through the community fund externally designated for this project.
Would something like this work for the group? Or is the group only interested in efforts if they directly receive the money first?
Im sorry for the late reply. You are asking the right question. Our fund is also designed for promoting Byteball. Different funds will contribute to decentralization. I dont see any reports of the official fund about spending. They say: "The fund will pay out bounties for byteball-related work such as reporting security vulnerabilities, software bugs, user support, marketing campaigns etc."
Our priority is that popular people and sites talk about Byteball to the wide audience. As well as there wasnt 98% of the trading volume on only one stock exchange, registration of new users is closed on which, and withdrawal is available on the passport. The official fund has more than enough resources for adding Byteball to the other exchanges, for example, Binance. They have their own view on this matter, and it is their right.
In our turn at the end of each week we promise to publish reports about money received and spent. There will be direct references to the surveys commissioned by us, advertising and adds to the stock exchanges.
