Ok, I have an alternate idea. Let's start a Darkcoin foundation. The goal of the foundation would be to further darkcoin in all aspects (marketing, legal, charity, bounties etc.).
To further the foundation's goals, let's try to persuade the major pools to voluntarily donate 0.1% of mining output to the foundation (this can come directly out of the fee they charge miners - if they charge a 1% fee, they can either tack on .1% or keep their fee at 1% and pocket 10% less than they do currently). This would of course be COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY. In exchange the pool will be given special status on the main darkcoin website/subreddit/forum post etc. Something simple like "Darkcoin Foundation donor" and a special little icon next to the pool name. If we could get the major pools to agree we could generate some significant bounties for important causes, and most importantly it would be voluntary. Discuss.
That's fine by me, that's actually the same amount of money I proposed above but via donations. That would allow for us to pay for marketing costs, building the foundation, etc. Sounds great.
