Richard Olsen introduces Lykke Streams

Lykke Streams (streams.lykke.com) is a crowdsourcing initiative that reimagines how projects of all kinds can be staffed and completed. It provides a forum for publishing project ideas and attracting talent from around the world. Project originators can post their ideas on the platform and set aside prize funds to be awarded upon completion. Developers, designers, and other technology professionals can contribute directly to projects of interest and work collaboratively to earn the prize.

New Streams project for further development of Lykke-Streams:







It's also a very good explanation about Lykke Streams and what it will be:


Description

At Lykke, we’re building a global blockchain-based marketplace. We’re doing it in a new way: we don’t interview and hire; instead, we look for enthusiastic people around the world who want to join us in our mission.

There are commercial contest platforms out there, but we haven’t found one that is flexible enough for us. That is why we have started Lykke Streams, a crowdsourcing initiative to staff and complete all kinds of projects.

Lykke Streams will provide a forum for publishing project ideas and attracting talent from around the world. Project originators can post their ideas on the platform and set aside prize funds to be awarded upon completion. Developers, designers, and other professionals can contribute directly to projects of interest and work collaboratively to earn the prize.

Now Lykke Streams is available in beta at streams.lykke.com, and we are looking for a team to further develop and support it. The winners may be offered ongoing contracts or employment.

"We announce a second round of the Lykke services logos design project. We haven't awarded the first prize in the first round and haven't chosen the variants to be used by Lykke services as none of the submissions fully followed the logo design principles listed in the project description.

You can develop the results of the first round (LINK), use them as inspiration or start anew. Please respect the following principles in the second round: (...) "

Looks nice.
So, the payment using an altcoin, it's also can be exchange to cash, the pair fiat is just dollar only? Also can exchange to bitcoin too? since your wallet basically like exchange wallet?
The taxes, it's mandatory to pay based on the winner country? so, this already have some regulation, isn't?

Yes, it's not just a wallet. It's more a "multi-currency-wallet-exchange-App" and it's possible to exchange one currency for the other (no matter if Crypto or Fiat). Lykke will be a very complete Forex-trading-platform with a lot of Fiat-currencies, Cryptocurrencies and all kinds of digital assets (like company shares for example).

Currently on the APP:

- BTC
- LKK
- EUR
- CHF
- GBP
- JPY
- USD


Soon: Solarcoin and Ethereum... others to follow.

David Siegel has made some very good videos about the App: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk9DrzhaS5AjlYColQnvU6R17MNNNhihK


Regulations are an ongoing process:

Pretty Good.What's your business model? If I open a new contest or I'm a winner for a particular posted contest,how much is your share of the total winnings ?Although platforms as such are not a new thing but your service fees does actually make you stand out.People choose to use forums for contests and stuff since there is no middle party involved,meaning no extra spending.

It's usable for free for potentially everybody. Since Lykke is a (semi-decentralized) exchange it's required to run contests on Lykke and awards will also be in LKK (Lykke-Coins/Shares).

But Lykke charges no fees at all, also no trading-fees. By the way: Lykke is already a result of a contest (article from Dec 2015):

"To find the talents who will develop the Lykke platform, Olsen is hosting a global competition for the design of the architecture of the marketplace.

The Lykke Challenge is an open source code competition to build the fastest foreign exchange matching engine and settlement platform using the blockchain."

http://fintechnews.ch/blockchain_bitcoin/swiss-startup-lykke-seeks-disrupt-retail-trading-market-blockchain-tech/2060/


Business-model is (will be once it gets traction): Lykke will act as marketmaker.


Who wants to know more, this Q&A with Richard Olsen is very insightful:

Collaboration platform or Contest platform? Why will you have a contest against people you're collaborating with..

It's both: A contest between those who participate and send in their proposals (Designer for example or Developer for the Atomic crosschain swap transactions etc.), but it's also about collaboration - for example:

"We will work with award winners to support their efforts through each phase. This could eventually lead to full-time employment or a franchise/profit-sharing model and can be taken to other cities."
https://streams.lykke.com/Project/ProjectDetails/0cd7a902927b4d2c96b0ac3e0928cf29

Or in general:

"If you have an idea for a project you think would be beneficial to Lykke, you can create it as an initiative. Registered members may then vote for a project. If a proposal gets enough votes and seems beneficial to the Lykke community, Lykke will sponsor it and provide award money."
https://streams.lykke.com/Home/Terms


It's also not only for Lykke. Everybody can use the platform to run contests to find skilled people for all kinds of projects.
