Some time ago I started a Namecoin marketing and development fund.

It is intended for bounties and the like. Also I have a certain website in mind to advertise and make an easy entry point for new users.

The fund currently holds (2013-09-23):
120.88NMC
1.0337BTC

google spreadsheet with current balance

Squatters are highly recommended to donate or help otherwise. :D

NMC donation address: NDtPuyg3adscr6HCE1GUiSsKPtA8ewKgz3 balance
BTC donation address: 17Si1rdVd6gaYbwLq9NkXtGV9Qzt3NmTKa balance

I'd be interested if this were listed on a public exchange. The funds should be accounted for, and usage voted upon.

Since you previously started it, where can I find the prior work done without funding, to see what could be done with funding.

sounds very complicated. why should it be listed on a public exchange? there will be no payouts or dividends.
do you know the bitcoin100 - I had something like that in mind.

the fund has only started collecting money.

Public visibility and "all are welcome" investing in an unregulated market are actually pretty darn simple. And it keeps things on the level. For exactly the reason you quote, no payouts or dividends, it's very important to have MORE visibility into spending. Normally, an investors only insight into the company is their dividends, since you're asking for money, and there will be none, how do you expect people to track the quality of their investment?

I'm not interested in investment at this time, but the more sites out there, the better. Good job on contributing! I may change my mind at some point.

That's too bad, I don't use that product. Maybe you should consider putting all of the spreadsheet data on your .bit system.
