I totally agree @yabapmatt and that's what I wanted to give as a message when I said "witness driven by the community, for the community". I will expand the thought. Sure Utopian needs also to run an ICO but we need to act in a short term and do whatever is possible to grow the power of the account, simply because there are already quite a few ICOs happening in a few days, willing to do the very same thing Utopian is doing. Utopian needs to go on the outside world and be known asap or these ICOs could throw us in the dark, if you get my point. While the witness could not fund the entire project, could still give Utopian some more ground to speed up the project growth.

Have you considered doing an ICO using a BitShares or Ethereum token and then transferring that to a Utopian SMT once those are done? Similar to what EOS is doing? I agree that you need more funding short-term but as I said I'm not sure running a witness server is going to really provide the funding you need.

I did @yabapmatt but without being able to create accounts directly from Utopian really makes little sense to start an ICO. I am trying to convince @ned to help us on that but I am a solitary wolf and I will do whatever I can to grow the power of Utopian with or without the help of Steemit. My main mission now is to fund the creation of the accounts and I am doing that by:

- Posting curated contents from @utopian-io in order for the account to gain more author rewards
- Seeking funds from Steemit
- Proposing the account as witness

We need to be able to create accounts ASAP or Utopian may not survive when the other ICOs that will probably make millions by selling the tokens.

I see - I guess I was saying open an ICO first to the Steem community and see how much you can raise there. Hopefully then you might have enough to open the ICO up a little bigger and make accounts for the new investors, and then it could potentially/hopefully snowball from there.

I would definitely invest some STEEM into a Utopian pre-ICO at least!
