Recent Activities

We are making major headway on our logo, temporary website, and achieving our September goals on our Roadmap!

First, we finally have our prototype logo. We will be using our prototype as a placeholder until our final logo is done.

Check it out below:

Second, our temporary website is complete and will be made publicly available at our private domain very soon.

Third, we are making headway on our September Roadmap goals and it is looking likely we will achieve them before the end of the month.

Startup Life (“Genesis blockin’”)

One of the issues we have been running into is one I think plagues all startups and groups in general … getting team members together and making sure we have defined goals and tasks.

We have a collective vision of what we believe the Network can become, and the overarching goals we want to accomplish. However, figuring out how to achieve our vision will be the biggest hurdle for us as we continue to grow.

Currently, we are facing this issue as we try to:

  1. expand our activities;
  2. grow our membership; and
  3. complete our defined goals.

Expand Our Activities

First, as we try to expand our activities, we must deal with trying to ensure we are still working as a team, instead of losing our cohesion and one member being overloaded with tasks.

Grow Our Membership

Second, as we try to grow our membership, we also need to ensure we are keeping our existing cohesion and trust, while allowing new members to join and express their own views, vision, and goals for the Network.

Complete Our Defined Goals

Third, as we try to complete our daily tasks and achieve our predefined goals (e.g., our September 2018 Roadmap goals), we need to ensure that, we, as members of a decentralized network, are all having equal input in how these tasks are being accomplished.

Our Strong Cohesion

However, we have a very strong team cohesion thanks to our shared vision, and the willingness to shoulder the burden for each other in regards to our duties and even in our own personal lives.

With this in mind, we believe we can not only achieve our vision and goals, but that we can even go beyond them through constant interaction while adapting and absorbing new member’s visions and goals.


Vacancies

Once again, letting you know, we have stacks on stacks of vacancies for Committee Head positions.
