I appreciate the fact that you decided to address our concerns and open a new thread. It seems that you are really serious about the project and because of that I wish you all the luck, and if you ever need help, I might even help. But even so, there's one more problem that I see. You said in the other thread that you don't have that much experience when it comes to programming which means that you're estimated delivery times may be way off. So you're basically asking people to fund a project that has high chances of not succeeding and even if it does, it will take a long time. What's your plan? Are you looking to hire a bunch of developers and rely on them to bring your idea to life? I'm asking because I'm also working on a personal project.

Yes, exactly that. I will hire a dev. I will make sure that the work gets done, before any payments, etc.
I will critique the code as it is developed and dictate what will be used and how. Then I will check if it is correct with at least 2 other devs that have experience. Remember how it took RaiBlocks 2 years to write the code with a big team of devs. I will look into maybe teaming up with them. I don't really think this project can directly compete with RaiBlocks.

I would like to have an agile style with Marbles, and any "winner" features will probably get ported to the more mature RaiBlocks.
   If there are no devs that want to team up, and nobody who knows how Masternodes truely work and needs some cash( or is interested in the lattice structure)...then in the summer I should start slowly getting it done myself. I have a little BTC so I will still likely pay to get help. If it gets done and no one is around, will do a few giveaways for loyal community members, and some marketing bounties.

   An airdop for Nano holders would also be an interesting possibility, and is not out of the question.

   Anyway, I will definitely do an escrow for donations and will update when its available. And that means that if not completed before said deadline, I will then keep the non-escrowed donations for future work and return the rest.

This is the PreAnn so there is still time. Wish you luck with your project, and hope to stay in touch.

Thanks for the generally positive feedback

I didn't know of such alts. Could you name any coins? I am thinking a local client that can run on a smartphone, with ultra low fees and instant tx's. Web implementation/apps that use a central server don't count.
Probably Dash is a good candidate? Though its a bit complicated the way they do it.
Hopefully Marbles will have way lower fees, because there is no POW.

OK.Can you let me know what for you need donations at this stage ? How much you are looking raise and what do you plan to do with the donations/funds?
Cos,except 100 lines of essay in the OP,you have nothing ready yet.

You can always do a crowdsale/donations,for exchange listing etc at appropriate time

I want to be able to pay devs (and why not a graphic designer). Don't forget that this is not an ICO, so there is no minimum threshold. If you are worried you can either wait for the escrow version - might happen in BTC since I received an offer from a TOP escrow provider after I reached out - or simply buy when the captcha launches.
I want to get people interested in the project, and to get as much help as possible.

Right now there is only little to show, but I will release a webpage, and whitepaper before the 1st of May. Obviously twitter, slack, telegram, discord, reddit, irc - whatever people prefer. Thank you for your support.
