Some real easy bounties here if you have an hour or two to spare

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=427327.20

helped set up the forums at mastercointalk.org! 

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.

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.

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"

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.

https://trello.com/c/jE5MdzpW/60-10000-first-existing-exchange-that-supports-mastercoin

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

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.

See rules here https://trello.com/c/gbrOtwVK

I reserve the right to change the rules at anytime to ensure fairness and quality content.

We have an opening for a Support Lead!

http://blog.mastercoin.org/2013/12/04/be-the-support-lead-for-mastercoin-foundation/

contact and details are in the post.

I have opened a new Role Based Bounty:

https://trello.com/c/0Cw0l1qf/62-rbb-vp-community-initiatives

RBB - VP Community Initiatives

- Creates and oversees execution of specific community initiatives
- Manages community outreach efforts
- Keeps pulse on the community as a wh and works to build consensusole
- Leads our international chapter program (See How to start an international chapter)

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).

New bounty ($1500) - mobile wallet.

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

we have a documentation contest for our Wiki, giving out $5000 in BTC for people who submit content:

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

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.

See http://wiki.mastercoin.org/index.php/How_to_start_a_local_Mastercoin_chapter

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

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.

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

Perhaps the professor would like to help us?

FYI I set a $500 bounty on the first localized Mastercoin client.
