I'll pledge 10,000 or so coins to support the blockchain. I just moved some off the exchange. Here's the link to verify: http://techblocks.chainworks.info:8324/address/TEA2hQJXa8jabkDJB1o3PvPCLvXiN92gc1

I have 10,000 plus coins as well... I have been keeping the wallet open and Staking. Didn't realize that this was helpful... glad to be able to help. As soon as I start my new job I will be buying more to help with the volume on Bittrex.

I just not sure what I can do besides what I am...so anything else I can do to help please let me know.

Thank you for your support. There is a donation address in the OP if you would like to donate towards future giveaways and bounties. I'm planning on using my own btc to buy up some TECH for an upcoming giveaway, but anything the community has to offer towards that would be appreciated. I'm also hoping on raising enough funds so we can offer bounties for translations, a new logo, multipool, etc.

How about we give away TECH gear. ? Tablets, ipads, etc? people have to buy up tech and stake it to enter the drawing? this will help the network substantially, and say we can do monthly, weekly, or biweekly giveaways. once you are staking enough tech, you will be entered for all drawings until you are no longer staking the required amount?

or we can change the giveaway requirements for each period, it would probably control price in a way. If one month we gave away a Galaxy tablet, the price would be lower, but then the next month we want to give away one of those fancy 4k TV's, probably would drive the price for that month. It would most likely have to be funded by some sort of donations to begin with, but it may be sustainable long term if the price supports it. and hopefully the community will contribute monthly as well.

I do not want to work on this by myself. I really need some help and direction with this, but the more I think on it, it could be a viable option and a real starting point.

That's a cool idea. Maybe setup some sort of escrow where people buy TECH at market price, then we use the BTC to purchase the raffle prizes. I would think of this as more of a long term thing...giveaway and new features first, build some interest and community trust. The hard part of a raffle is gaining the trust. People are understandably cautious about throwing their BTC at something. We should look into how Firecoin and other devs have handled these kinds of giveaways.
