Are there any plans for a decentralized DASH marketplace?
There are tons of ideas, and anyone with initiative can implement anything for the Dash network, and even get funding for the project via the blockchain. But they have to convince MN owners to vote on it. If someone does try, I'm certain they'll get as much help from the core team as they can give. I mean, they'll help with any issues in Dash Code, etc...
But the core project is so focused right now, and probably for the foreseeable future, that I don't think the core developers will be doing such things. However, I for one would really like something like that implemented and have my fingers crossed that someone will propose such a project.
The whole idea behind the Virtual Corporation is that anyone can step up to the plate and work for it, if accepted by the voters.
And I must suggest strongly, that
anyone wanting to do a proposal, think months in advance, start a discussion on it (preferably on Dashwhale). You need time to gain the approval of such a diverse group of voters. The community needs time to digest your proposal, make suggestions, and for you to implement those suggestions. In a very real way, the forum thread that contains your proposal is your contract with the Dash Virtual Corporation. These proposals have been coming out so loosely, mostly things that Evan says he'd like us to do, and we just do it. Eventually, proposals should come from anyone, and they should be formalized in a thread, with final specifications and a time table. The community should keep them honest and raise the red flag if something is going wrong, so the MN can vote down the proposal and stop the funding on solid grounds.
Don't get me wrong, we Know our current core team are keeping tight watch on all funds they spend, and they're a small group doing so many things, but plan on putting that ledger out for public view. But that's not how a decentralized system should work, (relying on one person to tell us what to fund and do) and we need to start setting up some rules/traditions. IMO
Look what happened to DashWhale's proposal. The implimented Evan's vision of a place where we can manage Dash voting, and a forum for proposals. However, Evan never formally Green lighted the project, I suspect because he doesn't want to be the almighty dictator and to let MN voters do the right thing. And MN voters won't support it, with many saying the reason was that Evan didn't say they should. We all (community and MN voters) need to grow up and make the decisions that are right for Dash. Will others that start projects, hoping to show they can do it prior to asking for funding, now stop because it looks very much like they can't win approval? A project that's already obviously had a TON of work put into it for the benefit of the Dash Virtual Corporation, can't even get funding boggles my mind.
Otherwise it's been going very well
