I noticed we will have quite a few features concerning Autonomous Applications.

I opened a brand new board for this purpose.

FYI Mastercoin is a type of AA.!

A new BizDev opportunity:

https://trello.com/c/HbAH7Odu/34-open-source-centralized-exchange

Open Source Centralized Exchange

This bounty goes to whoever manages to get a successful Fiat-BTC exchange to open source.

Conditions:

1. The exchange must be operational in at least three countries with meaningful volume.
2. The exchange must be completely open source, code wise. The code must have some documentation, and furthermore, processes need to be documented. The exchange is of course allowed to have closed discussions and documentations. However a 3rd party must be able to pick up this code and documentation and successfully implement an exchange on top of it.
3. The exchange must support buying and selling Mastercoin for fiat.

The bounty can be split between the exchange itself, and a feature owner that Gets This Done (omsone that can be external to the exchange that will drive this process).

Just to clarify, examples of Fiat-BTC exchanges are Mt. Gox, Bitstamp, BitsOfGold and BitInstant.

Note - the awarded amount could be something rather substantial.

New Open Position

Ever since we started hiring someone for the Smart Property position, we received many incoming requests and haven't had time to deal with them properly and promptly.

I think we need to hire someone, who understand Bitcoin and Mastercoin, to organize the hiring process.

We have a lot of github repositories, and are coordinating them under https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/

Most of the repos there are forks.
We need to manually do pull requests from other repos to keep them updates.

I would like us to write an open source web service that lets anyone grant them credentials got auto-pull from the parent fork.

This task will be useful to the wider developer community, not just to Mastercoin.

It's fun to be able to do our first? project that will help many many projects that aren't related to Mastercoin.

Note that the current coding contest acceptance criteria already requires that at least once website have price charts. I've seen some efforts in this direction already.

Cool, I didn't realize this.
In this case we might merge this bounty into the coding contest.

I would like to use this chance to announce a new position and a new bounty:

Security Auditor
https://trello.com/c/FDNNdZ5H/24-security-auditor

We are looking for someone to become Mastercoin's official security auditor.
This person needs to come with the highest credentials possible.

He will own the task of auditing the spec, various clients and infrastructure components.
He will also be responsible for setting up various bounties for detecting security related bugs.

Price Charts website AKA Mastercoincharts
https://trello.com/c/MmaWrEZu/25-mastercoincharts-price-charts

Mastercoin already has some price history, and soon we'll have the distributed exchange and a real price history.

This bounty goes to developing this site. Note that the site will need to support multiple currency pairs and other asset types ... you should start with BTC/MSC at first.

Vitalik just proposed that his generalized CFG could build the infrastructure for distributed Insurance a-la-Peercover.

New Bounty (which is a bit recursive):

Let's decentralize the bounty process (not just for mastercoin bounties ... this is a generalized "wishlist" feature ... you wish for stuff in the real world and attach a bounty).


Anyone can propose a bounty as a message on the blockchain.

Anyone can claim a bounty via another message.

Anyone can vote on a bounty claim via proof-of-stake.

Hi all!

Sorry to open yet another Mastercoin thread. FYI, we're talking with theymos about allocating a forum for Mastercoin and other blockchain-based technologies. In the meantime: The purpose of this thread is to announce new positions and bounties as they become available. There is a need for this thread because new positions and bounties are added daily and the main thread is too messy.

Everything is organized on Trello, you can find the current bounties there.

I remind everyone that on a lost of the tasks you will have to specify how much BTC/MSC the bounty is worth for you, instead of us thinking about the sum for each bounty. If you need extra budget to get something done, let us know. You are expected to be Feature Owners.

How to apply?

1. For bounties, you can just work on them and let us know once you're done.
2. You can also comment on the Trello card and mention @ripper234 or others to get out attention
3. You can also email [email protected] telling us that you're interested in a particular bounty or position.
4. You can invent your own! If you think there's a bounty we need to add or position we need to open, let us know!
5. If you have some idea, but are worried it's not refined enough - feel free to brainstorm with the community. They can help you refine your idea into a bounty or position.

Guidelines
- Make sure to write open source code, hosted on github.
