Council Nomination Application:

  • Introduction

    • How did you find out about Telcoin and why are you excited about being a part of the Telcoin community?

Oh man, I found Telcoin while searching and researching fundamentally sound crypto based projects. I tried my hand at shitcoins, and it didn’t go so well. I changed my strategy and wanted to hold tokens connected to projects that were developing into COMPANIES that were targeting real world and real life issues. Reading the original whitepaper got me fired up, and I was in.

  • What experience do you have in interacting with the Telcoin Platform as a user, miner, and/or overall ecosystem participant:

Long time HODLer, bridging, staking on BAL, DFX, TELx…out of CEX’s completely but I admit that I used them…I am not proud. DEFI IS LIFE :slight_smile: I am a staker in-app (over 40 referrals), on-ramp mostly in app now, participated in TGIP1, etc…

  • Why should you be selected?

I truly want the best for TEL (and Telfam), and would like to participate in shaping the community driven future. The years watching things progress, partaking in each newly developed activity has given me a full understanding of the platform, idealism, and functionality. I have a strong voice, and would represent well. I have an empathetic and marketing mindset, understand complicated business, and consider myself a leader.

  • Why are you running for this position?

See above! Same, with an emphasis on truly wanting the best for community driven governance.

  • What unique skills, experiences and credentials do you bring to the role that will assist you in fulfilling your regular and special duties?

I think my unique combination of skills, experiences, and passion for TEL makes me an ideal candidate. I am confident that my “9-5” job which includes complex sales, C-level communication, marketing, social media skills, in-depth contract negotiation, etc…will enable me to fulfill both regular and special duties (hopefully as a staker representative) effectively, contributing to the success of the council.

  • What changes and improvements do you plan to propose?

TEL/DFX 50/50!! Haha, I will leave that to Andrew. I would like to focus on the marketing and educational aspects, proposing different avenues to help make Telcoin a household name.

  • How will you represent your miner group in decision-making processes to ensure their interests are being voiced and protected?

Open communication, build alliances, constructive feedback, advocate for group interests, and try to educate or get educated and make only the best decisions.

  • How will you keep your constituency informed?

Well versed on social media platforms, create subgroups, educational video, live streams, potentially medium or substack if required all with an emphasis on marketing and education.

How much time can you dedicate to the role each week?

6 to 10 hours a week, but not limited to. Whatever it takes to successfully operate as intended.

Love this, love Telfam! LFG!!!

Specializations:

Marketing and Education:
After High School I joined the Marine Corps for 4 years. I did two tours to Afghanistan and was honorably discharged in 2012. I then got my associate’s degree and have been working my way up the ladder of an Industrial Equipment company ever since. I have 5 years of experience in Marketing and 10 years’ experience in Sales and Business Development. My work is focused on developing new and existing customer relationships while driving sales and creating educational content and campaigns that simplify industrial equipment operating experience for broader audiences, helping to drive adoption & engagement.

Introduction:

I first discovered Telcoin in early 2021 when I decided to join the crypto movement. What initially captivated me was Telcoin’s innovative approach to working with Mobile Network Operators to provide banking solutions for the unbanked. The potential impact of this initiative was incredibly intriguing, and I was eager to see how they would execute such an ambitious goal. As I continued to learn more about Telcoin’s expansion and their commitment to compliance, I became deeply invested in following their progress.

Simultaneously, I became an active member of the social media community, where I connected with like-minded individuals who kept me engaged and motivated. This inspired me to contribute to the community’s growth by creating websites where people could purchase Telcoin-related merchandise. One of these sites also served as a hub for other “Telfam” members to share their projects and talents with the community. Over time, I’ve organized and contributed to giveaways totaling over $2,000, and I look forward to continuing these efforts in the future.

Websites: Telcoin
https://telcoin.shop/

Experience with the Telcoin Platform:

I have been an active participant in the Telcoin ecosystem, both as a user and an advocate. My involvement has included exploring the platform’s capabilities and contributing to community discussions aimed at optimizing its services. My hands-on experience with Telcoin includes trading, sending money, and participating in the staking referral program, where I currently have seven referrals. (Feel free to use my code: 8450b1264eb to start staking and earning today.) These activities have significantly deepened my understanding of Telcoin’s infrastructure and the needs of its users.

Why Should You Be Selected?

I believe I am well-suited for the TAN Council due to my strong background in marketing, communication, and sales, paired with my deep commitment to Telcoin’s mission. My expertise in these areas, along with the work I’ve done in creating merchandise websites, positions me to effectively contribute to Telcoin’s growth. I am dedicated to ensuring that Telcoin’s services continue to meet the needs of its global user base. Transparency, collaboration, and driving meaningful progress within the network are core principles that I am committed to upholding in this role.

Why Are You Running for This Position?

I am running for this position because I believe in Telcoin’s vision of democratizing finance, and I want to play a more active role in shaping its future. I truly enjoy being part of the Telfam community and want what’s best for the community at large.

Proposed Changes and Improvements:

If elected, I intend to focus on enhancing marketing strategies and community engagement. The Telfam community is a strong foundation of individuals who genuinely care about the success of Telcoin. Even during quieter periods in the market, effective communication and a sense of camaraderie have been essential in maintaining patience and a positive outlook among members. I believe that by strengthening these aspects, we can continue to build a resilient and supportive community that drives Telcoin forward.

Representation of Miner Group Interests:

I will represent my miner group by maintaining open lines of communication and regularly seeking their input on key issues. My decision-making process will be inclusive, ensuring that the voices of all stakeholders are considered.

Keeping Constituency Informed:

I plan to keep my constituency informed through regular updates via social media (Discord, Twitter, Telegram). These updates will include summaries of Council meetings, upcoming proposals, and opportunities for community input. My goal is to ensure that all members feel engaged and aware of the decisions being made on their behalf.

Time Commitment:

I am prepared to dedicate 4-8 hours per week to fulfill my duties as a TAN Council member. This time will be allocated to attending meetings, engaging with the community, and working on initiatives that advance Telcoin’s mission.
