We are currently formulating a proper name for the Foundation. Steem Alliance was meant to be a temporary label during the initiation process. Suggestions are welcome.
Milestone Reached
We have connected with the team from Bull Blockchain Law LLC and have had our initial meeting with Andrew Bull, JD, MSc in which we discussed our incorporation options and related details.
Our interview included topics to do with forming the Foundation as a 501(c)(3), whether we fit the scientific or educational route best, ensuring inclusion for non-US citizens, KYC and anti-money laundering, etc.
We are ensuring that we are extra-diligent throughout this process and are taking our time with it.
Fiscal Status
We would like to thank @Ned and Steemit Inc for transferring the amount of 25,000 STEEM to the @steemalliance account. These funds are strictly for the purposes of incorporating the Foundation and covering the costs associated with that.
These funds are not to be powered up or used in any way except as described above. We will discuss account management with you more thoroughly in our next publication. We aim to always act in the best interests of the Steem ecosystem and transparency is one of our key values.
Communication
We will continue to update you on a regular basis with short posts. If you have any specific questions, please reach us through Discord.
Sincerely yours,
The Foundation Interim Board
Continue the what the foundation is doing, we support you. 👏🏽☕️🇵🇭💪

So youre paying lawyers and/or spending money on bureaucratic processes while
Can we please make a poll of how many people think that the Steem alliance voters were in vast majority the closest buds and supporters of proposal writers and initiative leaders. Comes very close to the right number. Id hardly say that this alliance is representative of the "community".
When will you guys start feeling silly?

That's how you should do things, in order to have the most effective strategy plan.
I can understand your frustration, but @steemalliance is not the right target. It's not their fault that "only" 200 voters were part of the voting process. I would even argue that it doesn't even matter that not more people took part in voting. The most active people did and that's what matters. From now on, it's just about getting sh*t done.

No, thats really not how you do things. Youre registering something that
Youre basically making into a legal entity something that at the end of the day is literally "nothing". Does not exist.
No frustration here. Only ridicule. This stupid idea sidelined a group that could actually do something collectively if the effort was put into it. A group that had all the tools at hand to do something.
Instead the focus moved to this to make it into a "community thing".
The community doesnt care. The community is a mob that goes where the most chow is.
I mean you run a bot.
People invested in this platform dont care if it fails eventually, as long as they get out in time and you think the "community" that is playing with pennies in the dirt will care enough to try to understand this convoluted mess of interim boards, proposals, alliances, foundations... ????
Im literally starting to feel that everyone is getting their brain rotted from all this unreasonable support for any initiative that might sprout from the ground.

I just explained it to you how it should be done. the text above your comment.
Im just curious how badly does this have to fail for you guys to call it quits. haha.
Or is this perpetual patting on the back for pretending to do something while achieving nothing the actual goal in itself?

No, we're doing the leg work to get something established. I don't feel silly about that at all.
Although I will say I'm totally out of my element here, so it's more about people with expertise driving the effort, and helping where I can.

There are two things that have to happen for you to have a positive community reaction and achieve a goal. Any kind.
You have to have a large pool of SP from individual accounts willing to "not maximize" their profits and incentivize small accounts to action.
That is the only way to achieve anything on a larger scale. Otherwise you rely on individuals leading their own projects.
Thats exactly why this will fail. This whole thing is based on wishful thinking. Greed and stupidity is king on this platform and someone thought that you can base a project around altruism? People donating their time? Without any direct monetary incentive?
I have 100 SP and you think i care about some foundation? That id waste my time reading through pages of text just so i could watch big accounts grow their value and sell some more votes.?
Its much easier to convince a dozen idiots running big accounts to act in their best interest then it is to convince thousands of small accounts without stake to act in the interest of others.
And thats the path that should have been taken. The community only ever acts when you put money on the table.
Look at Oracle-d and their reviewers.
Busy little bees.
What does foundation have? "Lets work together guys! Helping is nice and togetherness is a pretty word full of positivity!"
Not how the world works. Its not how anything works.

Except that we have people willing to move this forward, and actually setting things up. So I don't know why you keep insisting on shitting on everything before anything happens.
We have the other model already, as you aptly pointed out. And there will be synergies between this organization.
What we are doing isn't dependent on soliciting delegations. We're aiming for outside money. We need to be as lean as possible though so that we can focus on striking deals and not lining our own pockets.
Have fun in your... Whatever sandbox you are in...

All i see is the words "community together" being thrown around, seeing that the community at large isnt really involved, that the proposed systems will not work due to lack of incentive and all the other things ive listed and that nothing concrete has been achieved in 5 months.
Because nothing is happening and i dont think this will lead to anything but time wasting. And that is fine, its your time to waste. What im not fine with is creating this idea that you are contributing to the betterment of the platform if youre a part of the "steem alliance" and if you arent you arent interested in STEEM being a success. Ive even seen folks part of this thing criticize legit actions being taken right now probably because this project isnt getting enough attention.
And then its fun giving you guys a hard time. :)
It really is. I have a great dislike for the established mentality of unquestioned support and lack of any critical faculty here on this platform so its fun being the guy outside the gate throwing pebbles over the wall. haha.
If you have the people already, what really was the point of all the voting and the talking?

Yeah that's fine. You've said what you've come here to say, and we'll have to agree to disagree again.
Well, the point of the voting is that we at least got to see just how much active SP is in support / not apathetic. It's not a small amount either.
Yeah, you and I both know the active % is lousy, but that is even expected based on your earlier comment on "I have 100SP wtf I'm not reading all that". So hey, speaking for myself, I would say okay, the steem Alliance doesn't have a "community mandate" so to speak, but we have enough voiced to proceed (well in my opinion).

Well. Im pretty sure you dont. And thats the point. You never needed it and i told you on day one you wouldnt get it.
Not a single thing in these last 5 months was necessary. You could have just jumped to the end and grabbed a critical mass of people that think they are fit for the job and were willing to do it. (which i still do not see)
Instead a convoluted mess happened.
Anyways. I said what i had to. ;)

Nothing becomes a 'thing' until people move to build it. Putting the legal structures in place is one of the many steps to complete the plan.

Can you do 25000 STEEM to do the work?
Steem INC is appreciated, but I think that support is lacking.

We're budgeting it only for the actual structure set up right now. Once that's done, then Steemit Inc and other donors will have the ability to donate to it.
