The minimum requirements seem reasonable:
>1. Members must maintain a minimum of 1% of current BitBean (BITB) monetary supply and actively SPROUT (also commonly known as "staking") it on the network.
2. One time donation of 250,000 BITB to Team Bean address: 2WcY6PfocpVHi23rGceWCn4F4b4UrWSPhw
3. A valid current email address (members will receive an additional new email address @bitbean.org domain after membership is approved. All @bitbean.org email addresses are only to be used for official BitBean related business).
4. New members need to provide at least one Twitter, BitcoinTalk, or other Social Media handle/account name.
5. A short introduction (name/age/nationality/profession) of yourself and the value you can bring to Bean Core (BitBean project).
What do you think?
