+1 for using marketplace dynamics, particularly when you want groups to be able to grow to be quite large. (For small groups they are overkill and potentially harmful.) This can be done without involving anything crypto related too. A great

Loomio is a great tool. It works great for certain types of things but I've struggled to really build an effective worker community with it multiple times. At the end of the day, voting on proposals is not a terribly effective nor scal

We're actually doing it right now at Quorum1, fwiw. It has been hard, but it's working. Maybe join us and help make it work even better? >> https://wiki.quorum.one/blog/what-is-quorum1

I was very skeptical as well and applied almost as a lark. When we were accepted I was completely shocked. As others have said, they do NOT take any equity and they ask very very little of you while you're down here. Plus you are given tons
