Nice idea, I also find some project like this. I hope it will implement immediately. Good luck
@joesmoe2012, thank you. I updated the whitepaper a few days ago BTW. LivelyGig will leverage existing P2P technologies such as SpecialK (which has been under development for 3+ years and used by Synereo). Currently working on the LivelyGig specifications and bizdev. In search of an architect and developers to build the MVP. Ping Ed if you'd like to meet about LivelyGig at the Texas Bitcoin Conference. If really interested, let's consider joining the Hackathon.
Interesting idea. Would love to see how this works out. Do you have a dev team or anything to help get this going?
It's a good initiative, and ANY development in the interest of bitcoins right now is good development.
Whitepaper was recently released:
https://github.com/LivelyGig/Documents/blob/master/LivelyGig_Whitepaper.pdf?raw=true
Abstract: A decentralized employment market that helps freelance and other workers find gigs offered by employers would allow these parties to be introduced when mutually beneficial and to form social contracts without the need to pay intermediaries. This type of market solution doesn't exist today because two of the enabling technologies – decentralized protocol stacks and Bitcoin – are just now ready for wider adoption. Imagine what it would mean to put these ingredients together along with existing job websites and task management solutions in such a way as to leverage the strengths of each – direct connection without intermediaries, with low friction, and healthy supply & demand – to create a new synergy. So what else is needed? A set of decentralized employment protocols must be specified and then implemented on a technology stack that is up to the challenge. Let’s explore the feasibility of such a decentralized system.
Some technologies and organizations mentioned in the whitepaper:
Bitcoin, Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), Gigs, Dibs, Social Contract, Smart Contract, Escrow, Freelance.com, OpenBazaar, OmniBazaar, Ethereum, MaidSafe, Synereo, SpecialK, Coinality, Factom, Bitrated, Trustatom, Codius, Omni, Ethereum, OpenBazaar, Bitmarkets, Brawker, MaidSafe, Ethereum, Omni, Eris Industries, Trello, Slack, Asana, Jira, Fiverr, oDesk, Elance, Bountysource, GigCoin, Coinality, Mechanical Turk, CoinWorker
