Crowd Found Hub (In Detail)

Would love it if we could work together.

We are talking of running a project through the workflow to learn what we can about the processes. We are building pieces while doing. Can’t give you an ETA on the Hub at this time, but we are working hard to bring it about :wink:

The DAO affect really has no relevance to what we are doing, although I guess it gives more encouragement the Hub’s approach is the right approach.

Hmm… I’ve missed it. Will register now.

It depends on the blockchain you are. Prototype is on ripple (because we have experience with it, it’s fast and cheap). Next target would, obviously, be bitcoin.

I expect limited access prototype to be available next month.

Note that “limited access” means it would most likely work for a team that is already formed, but it won’t be ready for public registration and ICO yet.

Will this all be based on the Maidsafe network developing ? Of just crypto in general ?

@Bacobob, my project is crypto-agnostic by its vision, not maidsafe-specific.

I would love to see a Dao idea but then for the Maidsafe network, im much more interrested in that.

I think that TheDao idea is flawed and their thesis was flawed: crowd hardly will make better decisions that specialized people in such context. Not enough chance for independent decisions and too much for herd mentality and FOMO

I think Coins should start their own “DAO” for the network, now its to wide if you ask me, people cant be specialised on everything.

I’m not a big fan of DAO, nor the idea about DAO. Not the company itself but the concept about DAO. It’s a good intent to make a better place without the need of company however it introduce unnecessarily direct democracy.

I look forward to see crowdfund hub unfold.

Exactly. Running projects (companies, corporations) is a type of human social technology. It works (and fails) the same on any media: paper and galeons, typewriters and telegraph, faxes and mainframes, or blockchains and decentralized votings. So, the types of governance, likely, would be very similar: Investors, Board of Directors, Executives. Titles might differ, matter wouldn’t.

Yup. Totally agreed with you. That’s why I really want to work on COLA (I can’t work on it until either end of this year or next year. Life.). A completely new paradigm that is designed for individuals, rather than collective. This allows better governance voluntary system than what we have now. Jury Nullification is the default.

This crowdfund hub is extension of COLA. That’s why I’m looking forward to this project.

The goal of the hub is to eventually get it on the safe network. To get there we will be using many different technologies. Ethereum for contracts, Digix for value storage (gold) and probably IPFS (until safe is ready for storing data and the site).

In the hub each project will have their own Project Dao Token that will lead to the project “backers” making the decisions. See here: http://forum.crowdfoundhub.io/t/in-process-ether-to-project-utility-project-dao-token-contract/97

I agree - Though each project will have it’s own backers, you back the features you are interested in.

I see “DAO’s” as nothing more than code to automate function and assist the programmer(s) in achieving intent. So a DAO is a specific, public, transparent code that has the potential to allow people to work together in an organized fashion due to some trust being offloaded onto the code.

Here is one example of a possible concept synthesis: Continuing the discussion from The Truly Autonomous Organization (The TAO):

I came across a similar project that has a working prototype but still working on details and looking for answers on legal aspects and technical solutions (eg they mentioned block chain as being a possible solution).

So I’m wondering if @chadrickm or @MrAnderson or anyone is still looking at this and interested to look for ways to week with these folk:

http://www.collectiveone.org/

They have a slack so maybe that’s a place to drop in and say hi. I shared a link to this topic on a post they made in Facebook, so they should know about this.

Wow, good fined @happybeing . I would be interested in it, but @chadrickm has been away for several months. I think without an experienced developer, I’m not sure our good ideas would be helpful. I would spend more time with it, but I am pretty busy right now.

Hello @MrAnderson, and thanks for the introduction @happybeing. As you were saying, we have a running prototype (web 2.0 application) which we are using to develop CollectiveOne itself. The prototype is basic, but it let users track and value tasks and issues, and take collective decisions.

Being an open project, CollectiveOne is always looking for people who is interested in contributing (with work) to CollectiveOne’s development.

Additionally, we are also looking for people or teams who are willing to develop their ideas/projects openly and decentralized, to come and give the CollectiveOne method (and tool) a try.

Lets keep in touch!

Hey @Jose_Alejandro_Ospin, welcome. Great to have stumbled on CollectiveOne - I looked around in a couple of CO projects and it already looks usable (and you are using it obviously :slight_smile:).

I don’t have time to dig in further myself but maybe the connection can develop into something. If you have time I recommend you look into SAFEnetwork as a platform for CO because it is going to offer the technical features you require, and is already attracting the kind ofdevelopers who are most likely to be interested in contributing to and making use of cooperative platform like CO.

But there is a lot more to SAFEnetwork which sets it apart from other projects. It’s a whole new internet, secure end to end, replaces servers and centralised protocols with a fully decentralised network that nobody can control, own or censor etc.

The aim is to empower everyone, and enable us all to access and share the world’s information.

It has its own non-blockchain cryotocurrency, which anyone can earn by sharing their spare hard drive space - so it is inclusive and energy efficient (uses spare resources rather than centralised high performance mining rigs). Safecoin is not an altcoin (it is secured by group concensus rather than a blockchain), but is at least as secure as bitcoin and scales with the size of the network (so instant confirmations at very high transaction rates) and zero fees.

The network charges only for uploading data, not for transactions or ongoing storage, and uses this revenue to pay for resources (hard drive space) and to reward app creators and hopefully also content creators with Safecoin.

That’s just scratching the surface but hopefully enough to indicate this is a project worth keeping in touch with :slight_smile:

It does indeed sounds very appealing! :slight_smile:

CollectiveOne will try to externalize data storage to keep it under the control of the projects and the users who create it. The SAFE network seems to be an alternative for this.
