I bought the domain name ensuredone.com

I wrote a script to get an estimate of the shares in EnsureDone. This is my estimate. If you think it is wrong please notify me.

@AnT Congratulations on winning please DM me your email address so I can PayPal you the $25.

"Dommy Money"

Why is other at 87%? I'm so confused. This is closing in less than 24 hours and I'm going to pick a winner as per the description? Have people misinterpreted something I said?

@moyamo I think someone is going to split their option out of Other.

@AnT If someone splits out an answer in the last few moment and gets the highest bet that way, I'll consider that sniping and I will extend the deadline.

Since this is closing in less than 48 hours. Other seems like free money for the taking

So I'm not likely to extend the deadline again (I'm getting to the point where I'll need the domain name) however, if I notice sniping (i.e. people in the very last few moments betting a large amount of Mana on an option in order to claim the $25 dollar reward) I will extend the closing time, until there is no sniping.

I've provisionally extended the deadline by a week since "Other" is still the largest option. I might extend it further or even close it earlier if I need to get the domain name

All For One... And One for All. Either All get One public benefit or one gets a private payout.

The phrase "all for one and one for all" is the iconic motto of the Three Musketeers, characters from Alexandre Dumas' historical adventure novel, "The Three Musketeers." This phrase captures the essence of unity, loyalty, and mutual support.The motto has two main components:"All for one": This suggests that the group (in this case, the Musketeers) would band together to support any individual member."One for all": This implies that each individual is committed to the well-being and interests of the entire group.

DACs have the dynamic of once you pay into it you will get some form of support one way or another.

Collective Action for Mutual Benefit: Both the motto and the DAC emphasize the importance of group collaboration to achieve a desired outcome. Just as the Musketeers band together for mutual support, individuals in a DAC agree to contribute towards a public good only if a critical mass does the same.

Conditional Commitment: "All for one" can be thought of as the collective's commitment to an individual, while "one for all" signifies an individual's commitment to the group. Similarly, in a DAC, individuals commit to contributing only if others also commit, ensuring no one is left bearing the cost alone.

Assurance Against Exploitation: The Musketeers' motto implies that no member will be left behind or exploited. In a DAC, contributors are assured they won't be the only ones financing the public good, preventing any single person or a small group from shouldering the burden or being taken advantage of.Strength in Numbers: Just as the Musketeers find strength in their unity, a DAC operates on the principle that collective action is more powerful than individual efforts. By aggregating commitments, the DAC harnesses the power of numbers to achieve a goal that might be unattainable for individuals acting alone.

Dacula is a largish suburb of Atlanta. Nothing wrong about a suburb in Atlanta, but it's not particularly inspiring. And people pronounce Dacula this way: "Dracula, wait, no that's not quite it, I think it's dakoola"

dacula is cool, for including DAC in the name, but it sounds too much like Dracula which has a negative connotation (or at least not a positive or a relevant connotation).

The first market for DACs will be nerds who are willing to try new things. The second market will be nontechnical people who have trouble conceptualizing the mechanism. In my experience, they tend to reframe it as a commitment mechanism on the part of the fundraising group to show that they are serious: a skin in the game dynamic for important work.

'Guerdon' and 'Guerdoner' are old English words for 'reward' and 'rewarder' respectively. I like the first because it sounds a bit similar to Patreon, and the second because it ends like Kickstarter.

I think a name should focus on the difference to normal crowd fund (which everyone knows), but the problem is that it triggers on failure of funding, and I feel a name should focus on positive, I. E. Cash4FundingFailure (or more pithy version) is not very good for branding.

@CamillePerrin the alternative way to think about this is the organization puts skin the game. A kind of GoBigOrGoBust. Either a Public Benefit occurs or a Private one. The name should capture that.

Does the answer need to specify the extension (e.g .com or .org) or is the name of the site enough?

@YoavRavid Sorry, I thought I replied 5 days ago. It seems like that comment got eaten. No you don't need to include the top-level domain that will just create too many duplicates. I'll just see what top-level domain I can get.
