Few questions I would like to put forward to James.
So can anybody create services on the SuperNet or are we stuck with just these ones Teleport, InstantDEX, Tradebots (NXTcoinsco), Privatebetwill.
Also where do the fees paid for these services go, is it like Bitshares where the people who own the shares get a dividend. Is there a limit on the dividend also?
All the coins in the core will add some few new SuperNET API functions
I have describe the tech somewhere, but I cant remember where
basically the API is using JSON string, so if a command can be encoded in a JSON string, the SuperNET is able to send this from any computer in the SuperNET to any other, jumping across coin networks, with optional randomized onion routing built in.
there is also M of N (254) shared secret fragmenting (similar to multisig), but this is not inside the SuperNET, but rather in the Teleport application layer. If needed this tech can easily be used by any application layer
There is a Turing complete language called "C"
this is interpreted and runs in an event driven environment (similar to Metatrader expert advisers and indicators)
The full power of the computer is available as this is node specific so the tradebot write can do horrible things with a Tradebot, but he can do worse with a hammer. No increased risks
All SuperNET API, coin daemon API, networking, etc. accessible in an interpreted environment. The C code is submitted using a JSON API string, so end users can create their own custom service using a Tradebot.
Of course, most end users are no C programmers, but with a set of standard Tradebots linked to buttons, the users can be using them without even knowing they are using Tradebots
Think of the SuperNET like the tcp/ip protocol. How many things can be built on top of tcp/ip
[of course to be confusing to you the SuperNET uses UDP for its transmissions]
The fees are collected in an service specific way, so there is no simple answer. All of the fee activities will be on the various blockchains, but at first it will have to be collected in centralized account. The sum of all the commissions can be done on any node once this software is done, but these are just the addings of numbers so I dont worry about it so much.
In any case it is always best to get the "free mode" working first so that the user behavior is understood. Then you can design the proper monetization methods, actually the proper monetization metrics so that you can analyze this data to experiment to maximize the monetization, which usually means getting as high a response rate without annoying the user, but this is all standard monetization techniques. with no difficult algo, just a matter of being methodical.
I am searching for people to staff the monetization group, so if anybody is interested in working for a percentage of SuperNET revenues, and you have good analytical skills, PM me
