https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-groupon-4735 Those Ideas may look aged, but the implementation has been lacking forthwith.
http://coinforest.com/ have the idea in mind but have hit a block somewhere. I'm sure that we could do much better, especially targeting the travel industry. There are a whole lot of conferences, meetups, travels, that could do with a utility that links up businesses to clients within the crypto space. Improve client retention for the businesses while enabling the clients to save a coin or two.
As is, our transaction fees are very low (+1), liquidity is high (+1), we could improve the existing centralized node system by borrowing from the Distributed Masternode concept (DRK) and thus end up with a hybrid POW/POS(V).
I would really like to see your idea implemented in the travel industry. I think we as a community need to put in some more effort and we can do it. I suggest you try to promote your idea here and invite interested members to join the effort, then you got a team to work on this. We should be using the task management tools like trello to distribute tasks and coordinate. I currently found an app called CatchApp that notifies you whenever something is new on the gdrive or trello and other things. Also had another one some time ago, need to find the name again.
maybe you can write a summary for the idea again for the members and invite them to join!
Finally: What happened to the Developer dashboard?
not sure what you mean? the search for new devs? (still no success in that..)
Edit: I've just gotten around to reading up on the SuperNET... Considering TiPS was the first out with anonymity features, what happened for BTCD to overtake? And since its an open market, what would stop TiPS from presenting a second front... an alternative, better, cheaper and just as fast, or even faster?
you mean joining the SuperNET? I wrote the them and we are now on the consideration list, but they said they need some time to get back to me. I think if we get our new plans going with all the POS, new devs etc then we can consider doing that but before we make some big changes and become more successful I think we don't have a chance!
