I did not dismiss anything you suggested, I agree with some of the points you make, and as I hope I've made clear that dialogue and discussions are welcomed, I am just not willing to commit to anything without discussing within the group. There are more people involved than just David and I.

I strongly disagree that visiting people in their homes is a solution. But thank you for the suggestions we will discuss their potential.

If you don't mind me asking, Demo, how long have you been involved with crypto and would you describe your job as being "technical"? I ask because the large majority of people we'd be helping don't understand what a wallet is, let alone the politics and ideals of a trustless system. One of the...

That is ok, we understand that not all of us will agree on the best way forward. And thank you for posting that article, I was aware of the issues and discussions surrounding it, but had not read that specific one.

Obviously the two elements go hand-in-hand but we are treating them separately. Our main focus is the distribution of funds in the...

Thanks for your suggestions, the core team are always open to new ideas for the project. The main problem I can see with the cryptoparty suggestion is one of logistics, and that it is no more private than our current plan. In order to track participants through the system effectively we would...

Hi guys, I'm in the core team with David and others, and thought I'd pop in. I'm afraid the issue you're trying to solve isn't resolved with the method you're suggesting. In order to organise the party you would need to take more personal details than the system we're trying to implement. At...
