Well then go ahead. These are my ideas so far, maybe not complete…:
- Make clear how much is needed. We are seeing $1m as minimum that is required for a year. How to Survive - without reducing SNO compensation - #6 by jammerdan
It is probably not realistic to receive this much via donations but a target is helpful - Let SNOs donate. Implement a solution that can go into effect already for the previous month. So that interested SNOs can use the funds already that are going to be sent for July.
- Find an easy technical solution for SNOs, maybe as easy as changing the payout wallet address to the Storj address via config setting to indicate change the wallet address back to Storj to indicate that thay give up their payout.
- Let anybody else donate: Make a donation address publically available so that donations are not limited to SNOs. Anybody should be able to donate if he wants to. I am thinking specifically of STORJ token holders that do not want to or cannot support the buyout but want to support the company.
- Maybe considering forfeiting the held back could help. At least technically this is an amount Storj owes the SNOs so it should be in the books. It could be that SNOs cannot donate directly but would be willing to give up their complete held amount or the 50% left.
- I am repating myself: Consider a gofundme campaign or something like that: https://www.gofundme.com/c/start/business-fundraising
In general, donating should be quick, easy, and universally accessible. Additionally, it must be widely communicated.
