Hi guys,
I have a great idea, i have registerd à website
www.giveabithelp.com and i have the idea to make it à charity website were you can support à local organisation somewhere arround the world that needs help, they have to tell for what they want to use it . So people can decide if they want to give them a bit(devcoin) help. The organisation has to show the results and then they can get positive credits from only the donators so other people see it is worth to give them some help. There will not be any big organisations with big buildings and lots of costs between the help people give , so people will give easier because they do not have to pay the bills from the buildings and extra costs.
Do you guys think this would be someting voor Devcoin? And are there any developers that can make this?
And will there be any bountie availeble voor developers ?
I think a website like this could give Devcoin Some real good positive attention. And would help a lot of people.
Hi. I think this sort of site (not 'charity' though - payment for work/development in dvc) is what people have been proposing recently - with differing opinions over whether to look at that for the future and stick with building on current bounties, projects and sites until market cap and opportunity have grown; OR create something new to just monitor and maintain devcoin bounties; OR also act as a portal to developers proposing rolling open source development/payment for work via devcoin bounties; OR also act as a third party exchange a bit like the previous but where anyone can put up/accept bounties in dvc (i.e. not only through dvc generation) - effectively work for dvc. I don't know what the plan will be, although I do know that athough the objective of revenue generation has been met and is growing for devtome and people are coming up with an increasing number of businesses/investments for dvc there's still work to do on getting a forum sorted and the website prettied etc.
On your point about charities/local organisations, I remember something along those lines has come up at least a couple of times since I've been about. The problem has always centred around actually administering payments, not the concept of worth or bounties etc that were offered. Most organisations have yet to open themselves up to accepting bitcoin, let alone devcoin, so they wouldn't/couldn't accept crypto payment. Assuming that's still the case it means there either has to be a bigger base of crypto acceptance, or a simple and trusted method of apportioning a dvc payment to be switched to fiat at some point in the process for those organisations to use. That's ok, but then does that effectively just create one big dvc/fiat exchange as an intermediary, which sort of defeats the point of paying in dvc and spreading the concept of value with a constant sale of dvc to meet fiat redemption. If, say, I'm just going to take some dvc - switch it to $ - pay it to an organisation in $, at what point if at all has dvc really been involved or made the point of its purpose. Regardless, whatever the end that has to be met at that same point by demand to buy dvc to support the ideas being funded - greater liquidity, buying support and rolling exchange.
There are other issues, like how exactly do you vet an incomplete open-source development or an appeal to assist with need remotely (although you do mention on completion, if organisations could work on that basis), and how many resources would it take (time, people, effort) to do it all? These are problems with solutions, but just making the point that it's not straightforward as everything still has to done on the basis of maintaining demand and support as well as supply and wants.
Just my own thoughts but welcome to the discussion.
