That sounds like a bounty. I think the FFS intended to get away from bounties, which tends to result in mediocre work that is just good enough to satisfy the requirements.
I could be misunderstood, but I like the proposal as it is. It has been successful so far because it rewards the devs that are already passionate and contributing to the project to come forward and ask for funding.
If i'm wrong about my presumption on bounties, then disregard this.
what if the bounty is delivered when the idea or projects fits exactly its definition; where it needs some rules for the money to be distributed (and multisigs given to some of you trusted people and core dev for escrow). If bounties tends to give mediocre results; lets just not reward mediocre; so funding would be unlocked after approval. bounties would be for core dev AND open source projects using monero like standard crowdfunding.
an idea like:
"esport bets with monero"
details:
"list of criteria the community ends up with"
donation address
unlock xmr rules: criteria people holding the sigs must check before unlocking the xmr's (a % could of the crowdfunding might be allocated for peer review?)
just thinking that if money is easy to raise between us; we should exploit that more; and try not to lose quality. the ffs raised like 45k if i count well. make that 450k/year with monero @$.50cts and we have a small company expanse sheet.
you want to buy your subway ticket with moneroj? throw your idea on the forum; people agree it would be cool and a funding is opened (and criteria defined); in 1 year the funding is 10K XMR and nobody took the task; monero is later rising to $15 per coin and interest is growing. Some talented guy see he can make $150k finding a way to make people buy and he knows how to do it right; he takes it; deliver. If it's open source; and multisigs owners approve (so not approving "mediocre"); that guy's rich -> we can pay our subway ticket with our monero wallet.
it's maybe bad examples i know but you got the point.
We can even fund a guy working full time on the ffs (+ multisigs owner in charge of reviewing the project and see if it fits criteria) with a % of raised money; for moderation; relation with multisigs owner and coders/service creators; promoting ideas which have received funding so they can be taken fast enough.
+ money will talk; say some random throw an awesome idea for a service where monero anon could be used at its full potential; and the idea receive 100k monero we'll know there's something interesting there. if a task receive less than (x) and is inactive for (t) then throw away the idea and throw xmr's to multisigs holders.
my mindset here is: if it's easy to raise money to make people work for monero, then let's raise as much as we can for tasks we'd like to see as soon as we can.
cheers
