Bitcoin Forum

I can do web development. I could invest some of my time to make a small bitcoin project. Is there any business idea for a weekend project that would be profitable?

In my experience, those are 3 very different things. What exactly are you looking for?

What are your proficiencies?

As far as I know, it really depends on the amount of things you can do as a web developer :). You'll need to be able to do some things better than others to be able to get any small project online.

I think Bitcoin is the whole new technology that enables many new use cases that haven't been exploited yet. So I assume there should be some idea that could be implemented really quickly, but potentially as profitable as the milliondollarhomepage.com is. I can do some php, python, ruby,  javascript, as3 scripting. We could brainstorm something :)

How about "Stab Idiots In The Face Over The Interwebs" technology? Can you work on that? Note, I'm not implying that YOU are an idiot, just saying there are a lot of idiots out there in the wild that desperately need a face-stabbing. 

There's plenty of business oppturnities in bitcoin right now since its still in its infancy stages for the most part.

The key is being CREATIVE though and trying to create/think of something that's unique that people could and would want to use.

Asking on here for idea's probably won't yield you much results because if it's a good idea someone else is gonna be doing instead of telling other people to do it :)

Like someone else said, it depends how good your skills are.  If its an idea thats not all that creative, then it just comes down to skill an execution.

I forget to mention this... but why don't you just do normal web dev work and charge in BTC instead of fiat currency.

I've met quite a few web developers who are willing to do some projects for BTC instead of fiat currency.

Sorry, what is face-stabbing?

I think long ago I saw a windows-game, where Bill Gates' face appeared in random places, and player had to throw a cake into it via mouse click. Are you talking about this kind of game?

I think I can do web development for BTC. But it is boring and not much difference with normal freelancing. I agree that need to make something creative. It is important to be the first who does it. I think bitcoin allows it, just need to come up with an idea :)

Find a problem - solve it!

Weekend projects...

I tried to buy a vps on linode, and setup a website using mtgox's websocket api to get the real time trading information.

I sold the access right to this website at 0.1BTC price, and have three customers already :)

Um, no. Definitely not a game. Never mind.
