RE: GridCoin Steemit Official Account
Yes I proposed this some time ago, the issues were over who owned the account and who controlled the keys if I remember right.
Find a solution for that without placing it on one persons hands and I think you will get a lot of support.
@scalextrix, I think it's very easy to solve:
Option 1 (Many Persons): Give it to all the credible people on Slack. For example I don't see any problem giving it to person named 'caraka'. A great guy who do a lot of hard work building releases and applying fixes to core wallet. I am sure there is a lot of credible people there, that should have no problem to be known by name, nor they make any risk. Take @vortac for example. I don't see any reason why he should not have full keys access to such account. He is already acting like our public account with his personal one. There is no reason not to trust him. Moerover, we can even return such guys a bit of favour they did for all of us with this account. Not because we need or somebody asked, but because it would be nice.
Option 2 (Pseudo Multisig) This really solve the problem. Give posting key to anyone credible, but keep the private owner key splitted between chosen N members, where each know just a part of the key. Eventually make two groups that hold the parts of the key, just in case one get's out so we don't get locked up.
Let's evaluate both options, especially the second one. I believe that solves the problem someone could see. (Although i don't see any issue with trust). But if that don't solve the problem, I am sure we can come out with more options.
I understand that option 2 solves the issue, but the benefit of option 1 is cool. We have proof of research, we have proof of stake, and this is kind of 'proof of trust'...sounds cool :)
If community chose option 2, i can make a software that would allow multisig, where each of the "keepers" will have to sign the transaction, but never know the other parts of the key except theirs.
However, the bottom line is:
We don't think about need of doing this too much, because there are people who are generous enough to put their personal accounts into service (read, give us trust). But main argument against, is that we don't want to give trust. If couple of people decide to stop up-voting our posts here, we could easy end up with much less money that we are using to fund our projects.
Actually I don't need to make anything, Steemit already has multisig capabilities:

So, here is a solution.
Multisig is a good idea, and we can boost the visibility of Gridcoin by posting in this steemit as well as others. I think foundation funds should stay out in order to ensure no accusations of wrongdoing by anyone. If we all upvote the account it should be able to fund itself essentially.
I totally agree that's acceptable solution. Guys, if you are into this, please put it into procedure, vote or jump into creation if you have a majority.
I am not going to advocate this or be in one of the 'trust keepers' to prevent conflict of interest (since I proposed this solution).
But you can count of me if you need any technical help or similar. Obviously, my vote is huge YES.
