what is the bounty status? poloniex is the first external exchange to trade MSC..
Thanks to the application of pressure and emails

We are increasing the bounty for adding MSC support to an existing, established, crypto exchange.
The bounty is being increased from $2,000 to $10,000.

I want to take this chance to remind anyone that all bounties include a proportional amount of Dev MSC in addition to the fixed dollar amount.

There are several ongoing attempts to add MSC to the alt exchanges ... only the first one will get this bounty.

Role Based Bounty: Business Development

I have opened up a new Role Based Bounty for Business Development to help us create a database of all the exchanges that currently trade bitcoin and altcoins and may benefit trading Mastercoin.

The details of the bounty can be found here: https://trello.com/c/krx4oaR2

This role requires filling up a database of exchanges and contacts with whom we are building relationships to list Mastercoin.

The Bounty is $200 for a 5-day project.

Just a small correction - this isn't in fact a Role Based Bounty, but rather a one time bounty.
I synced with Taariq today and explained the details.

Great opportunity everyone - we are looking for a CTO!

https://trello.com/c/ydovvlia/65-rbb-cto

Key responsibilities

To execute on our vision and implement the technical solutions, utilizing the developers we have on our team, as well as hiring more developers as needed. The scope include overseeing several projects, including the various Master Protocol web, desktop and mobile clients, the mastercoin.org website and related assets, and other projects.

This would be a joint coding/management position, at least at first. We need the CTO to have hands on experience with the various projects that we are developing. and spend about 30-50% of his time actively coding (at least while the team is small enough to justify it). The rest of his time should be spent on technical, project, and people management, including hiring more developers, managing bounties, and spec development.



Note that I would strongly consider J.R for this role if he were to become available full-time for Mastercoin (this was in fact the trigger to his post about selling MSC). Still, this doesn't mean the position is locked in, and anyone is encouraged to apply.

Required Experience
1. Experiences of successfully managing teams of at least 5-10 people  is required, or other relevant proven track record is required.
2. Experience with scalable software architecture, web, mobile and desktop development
3. Strong Bitcoin background - a must.
4. Recommended: Prior experience as CTO

How to apply
1. Study up on Mastercoin
2. Please send your resume & cover letter to [email protected] plus ping my on skype at ripper234
3. Recommended - send us your plan of "what would you do in your first month on the job"

Announcing a contest to write the weekly blog.  I will try this out for a couple weeks and see if this is something that can be worked out by folks in the community.

The award is 0.5 Dev MSC  (from the Dev MSC allocated for Head of Communications) for the blog post that gets the most hits.

Increased bounty for writing doing economics analysis of why MSC has value from $500 to $1000.

Reminder - you can pick this bounty only if you have strong economics background. Just writing your own analysis, without fully understanding traditional economics at a very high academic level will not get you this bounty (although this can qualify for other bounties e.g. the Documentation Contest).

https://trello.com/c/EAWWSd1n/40-500-economic-research-why-does-msc-have-value

Quote
$1000 bounty, but it should to be Peter Surda or someone of his caliber that does this research. Very strong economics background is needed.

We need someone with a solid economics background (Peter Surda caliber) to research and explain why MSC has value.

A good feature to investigate is the CFD feature. CFDs and backed currencies "need" MSC to have value, and thus I believe their adoption will _cause_ MSC to have value.

New bounty ($1500) - mobile wallet.

https://trello.com/c/Itu0CGT1/59-mobile-wallet

Quote
1.
Wallet should pass a minimal usability bar (Check out Mycelium wallet for an excellent Bitcoin wallet).

2.
Wallet should support at least the ability to send and receive BTC and MSC.

I won't specify this any more right now ... feel free to propose a spec and work with the community on refining it.

FYI, we were just approached by someone for the open Project Manager position.
I am posting here for transparency's sake.

I believe this person is qualified for the job, and pending board approval would love to hire him to try and make some sense into this chaos. However I still want to be fair to everyone else (and I want to get the best candidates), and give you a chance to apply if relevant.

How about churches? Would they count? Also they aren't as politically controversial as Wikileaks.

Hmm ... it might ... I don't think it's a good idea to start with them (do any churches accept Bitcoin at this point???), but I won't rule it out.

Churches span many borders, deal in a lot of financial instruments (bonds) and get favorable tax sheltered status in the United States. Cryptocurrencies are perfect for them in some regards

Do you need someone to translate to Dutch? I've done translations for several websites already and they were happy about my services.

We might need that in the future, but right now are focused on more generic infrastructure.
We have an open bounty for implementing localization - the code that supports multiple languages, not translating to any specific language.

If you wanted to found the dutch chapter of the Mastercoin Foundation, you could then follow up with doing the translation and maybe getting some bounty for it - but a first step would be establishing a community.

1.
I've opened a new Spreadsheet that will always contain the latest bounty amounts.

2.
I have written this blog post describing the bounty process. We need more participation in order to keep accelerating - your input is welcome.

3.
Also, I increased the bounty of the Budget Website from $500 to $1000

4.
and added this new bounty:

Spend from Multisig

https://trello.com/c/ftjuT9gH/57-1500-spend-from-multisig

Quote
Bounty: $1500

Using Bitcoin multisig addresses, you can send MSC or any MSC derived currency to a multisig address today.

However, today, there isn't a way to spend money sent to such addresses.

Acceptance Criteria

Alice, Bob and Charlie share a multisig address. Alice should be able to "initiate multisig send" from her wallet. This pops up a notification on Bob's and Charlie's wallets. One of them "confirms send", and the funds are now sent. The notification can be hidden if nobody confirms it within a certain amount of time.

What is required for this bounty is adding a UI to at least two Mastercoin clients, and demonstrating the above flow on the real production network. The bounty would be split between the developers of both clients.

FYI - I believe no spec changes are required to make this work.

Regarding "Research Zero-knowledge voting" on https://trello.com/c/GazbEdFh/50-research-zero-knowledge-voting, I found this article:

http://phys.org/news/2013-08-knowledge.html

Perhaps the professor would like to help us? Smiley

This article is a bit generic.
I'm actually in contact with the (Israeli) group that wrote the Zerocoin paper ... they may have an idea for us.
We'll provide details when we can.
