As a developer, I think this project is really fascinating and could positively impact the community. This project is sure to catch attention. Is there a working version of this product yet?

I see that the presale hasn't started yet. Is there a way to earn Deco tokens right now?

any airdrop news?????????

We have a version deployed on the Ropsten testnet right now, and are hoping to move it to the mainnet soon.  We are in the middle of the audit process right now.  Check it out here: https://app.deco.network/



Sign up for the alpha test here: https://app.deco.network/ and we will be airdropping tokens to early testers when the token is released.  We are firm believers that the early users and testers of our system should be rewarded. 

Your feedback is valued, and we want to build something that people want to use and will like, so please tell us your thoughts if you give it a try.  Good feedback and positive contributions to the project will also be rewarded.

Who is on the Deconet team? Is it publicly available?

More info to come soon! You can register for testnet and airdrops now at https://app.deco.network/users/sign_up (https://app.deco.network/users/sign_up). To learn a bit more about the team, check out Who's the team building Deconet? (https://medium.com/deconet/deconet-team-487e0d1c3906).

I'm interested to see software licenses on the blockchain and that there is a project that will reward developers for contributing. This is a really original project and I doubt I'm the only one who thinks that. How is the presale going?

I'm glad that you guys will be rewarding alpha testers. I'm glad you mentioned that. I am also impressed that you have a product that is ready to test. Incentivizing feedback will also improve the product considerably. You guys are thinking ahead and I think that's valuable.

Signed up for Alpha..

looking forward to this wonderful concept and lovely team

Will Deconet be accepting additional investments outside of the ICO?

Thanks for the reply and the link to the article. I actually remember hearing about the CTO's hardware wallet years ago. He was a pioneer. That's a cool story on how you guys met too. I think this team looks pretty awesome and I'm excited for the future of Deconet. Which team member is answering questions here?

Thanks for your reply. I'm signing up for alpha now.  ;)

Thank you for your response and for the link. I am happy to see that Deconet already has a working version and I am glad there is a step-by-step on how to work the alpha version.

Thanks - that's great to hear. Will relay your kind words to Chris, I bet he will really appreciate that. I'm Leah, nice to meet you!

I heard about dual-licensing, but I couldn't find anything in the whitepaper. Can you explain how the dual-licensing works from a legal perspective?

I think the best feature of this project is opensource. Anyone can offer some useful changes, it is always good.

Yeah, I am not only curious how it works from a legal perspective, but also what is it the dual-licensing itself?

How your open source code is working?

Edit: We have a great blog post about this on our blog, but I also answered below.  Check out the blog for more info: https://hackernoon.com/how-to-get-paid-for-open-source-6e13bb238a7f

Great questions!

Dual Licensing is where a project is developed under one main license, but also sells the ability to license the code using an alternative license.

This usually plays out where an open source project is developed using the GNU General Public License (aka the GPL).  The GPL is a "copyleft" or "viral" license, which means that all other projects that utilize or depend on that open source project must also be released under the GPL.  The GPL also stipulates that the source code for all components of a project must be available.  This is really cool for project creators, because they can put their work out into the world for anyone to use for free with the condition that if anyone builds upon it, they must also contribute those changes back to the community by releasing the source of their software.  For example, the most famous open source project, Linux, is licensed under the GPL, and this has facilitated collaboration that has culminated in Linux powering most servers and mobile phones on earth.

This means that, for example, Microsoft can't use any code released under the GPL in Windows because they would have to release Windows under the GPL and make all the source code for Windows available, which they don't want to do.  For this reason, many companies forbid the use of GPL licensed components in their own software, because they wish to keep their source closed.

This is where dual licensing comes in.  Even though your code is primarily released under the GPL, you can sell a proprietary license that does not have the copyleft / viral restrictions of the GPL and does not require the buyer to release their own code under the GPL, so the buyer can keep their source closed.  This is also called "selling an exception to the GPL" and you can read some of Richard Stallman's (creator of the GPL) writing on this topic here: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/selling-exceptions

Our system lets you sell that proprietary license on the blockchain for ETH.  So now, anyone can get paid for their code just by listing their project for sale in our smart contract.  The license sale is logged immutably to the ethereum blockchain so you can always prove that you bought a legit license.

Thanks!

P.S. I am Chris Cassano, co-founder of Deco.Network and I'll be here from time to time, but cryptoreadyplay is also helping Deco.Network with community relations, and is an official representative for us here.

Thanks! :D Nice to meet you as well. Good luck on the project. I'm sure I will have more questions soon as I am doing a lot of reading on the project to familiarize myself. So far, I really think the project goals are great and I can't wait to see more collaboration among developers and more compensation as well.

I'd like to clarify that I understand the basic system of Deco network. Say I'm a developer and I write some code and push it to Git or whatever using this network. Then, for example, someone decides they'd really like to use my code for some project. So they pay me in tokens to use it in their app or for their business? That sounds nice. Is that generally how it will work?

I've been looking for a new, promising project and this one looks really nice. Deco.Network looks useful and developers would have every reason to adopt it because everyone likes being compensated for their work. I am wondering about how users will find modules they are looking for. Is there an easy and efficient way to search modules? For example if I wanted to search for "php shopping cart"?

That's a very good explanation. Thanks for the link to your blog post as well. I appreciate your reply.

Yes, that is exactly how it would work! In the Deconet Module Repository, you will be able to search available projects by keyword, review the source code and even try it out before you purchase the license to use it.

In a sense, yes. They can pay you in Ethereum. Deconet tokens (DCO) would additionally be awarded for transactions using Deconet. In turn, DCO Token holders ensure the quality of the registry. When creators publish their code project on the registry, they stake a minimum amount of tokens. DCO token holders may choose to raise a challenge to the application... if it passes with no objections, then the module is added to the registry.

This article includes a video that shows a step-by-step process for how the code marketplace works if that helps! https://hackernoon.com/how-to-get-paid-for-open-source-6e13bb238a7f (https://hackernoon.com/how-to-get-paid-for-open-source-6e13bb238a7f)

Since you are a developer, I would recommend you list a module to the testnet so you can be eligible for the airdrop! https://app.deco.network/ (https://app.deco.network/)

thanks - great to have you aboard!

Any bounty?

not currently, BUT I would highly suggest following the Deconet Telegram to be the first to know of any updates! http://t.me/deco_network

To stay up on the latest Deconet news, I highly suggest you join our Deconet Telegram group http://t.me/deco_network. Hope to see you there!

Signed up for Alpha
Looking forward to this promising project.

Hey, I wanted to get back with you and let you know that Deconet just officially released its bounty program! Start earning Deconet tokens today by joining. Get your share of the 7,500,000 DCO token pool for engaging on social media, creating content, and sharing Deconet with your friends: http://bounty.deco.network

Just wanted to update you on the new bounty program that was just launched this week. Please give it a try and let us know how you like it!  Start earning Deconet tokens today by joining our bounty program! Get your share of the 7,500,000 DCO token pool for engaging on social media, creating content, and sharing Deconet with your friends: http://bounty.deco.network

This project looks really nice, it has a good team, and most importantly a working project. How many people are currently using Deco.Network?

Are you a developer? If you want, you can jump right into the alpha product to experiment with some of the great open source projects listed on the platform, or submit your own to try it out: http://app.deco.network. You can also hear a bit more about the project from one of the founders, David Sneider here: http://www.cryptico.news/2018/03/22/deconet-building-marketplace-open-source-code/

So the way I understand it is someone wants some piece of open source code done. They put a bounty on it basically, someone else does the code and gets paid for it from the person that wanted it done. Is that correct?

Wow, this is probably one of the better paying bounty programs I've seen. Glad I found this.

You weren't kidding. This bounty is my new priority.

Thanks for the feedback! We are pretty excited about the bounty program! Keep us informed and love to hear your thoughts on our Telegram channel, http://t.me/deco_network, as you get further into the program.

As a developer I am curious about how to get involved with this project. I'd like to start uploading my own projects to deconet but I'm not sure how to get started.

I have heard great things about the bounty program for this project but I haven't done many bounties before. Where do I go to get started and what is required?

Fantastic! You can actually jump right into the alpha product to experiment with some of the great open source projects listed on the platform, or, like you mentioned, submit your own: Just go to http://app.deco.network (http://app.deco.network) and follow the instructions there. This Demo Video (https://vimeo.com/255095976) will help walk you through the process as well!

No worries, this one is super easy to join. Just head over to: http://bounty.deco.network (http://bounty.deco.network). Once you're there, you'll plug in your social media platform usernames, and check out the steps for linking to specific blog posts. Details are listed on the bounty site. And then give us your feedback on our Telegram channel! http://t.me/deco_network (http://t.me/deco_network)

Are there ways to submit requests for certain types of code? For example, if I'm not much of a coder and I need someone to develop something.

That is really cool. Thanks for the clarification. I'm going to get started on the testnet and see how it goes. Thanks!

anytime!

Awesome. I definitely will be doing that today. I'm interested in exploring what open source projects are on the platform. How many users are on Deconet right now?

Will additional investments be accepted? How do I find information about that?

I'm going to direct you to the Telegram channel for updates on fundraising. Please join http://t.me/deco_network to keep up with the latest!

What is the most interesting project you have seen on Deconet so far?

Thanks for sharing. I love a good bounty. Thanks for the link, I fully intend on taking advantage of this offer. It's a good deal.

my pleasure! have fun with the bounty program... you can really get in on earning lots of tokens.

I really like the fact that you can earn rewards by inviting friends and for doing social media interactions. Thanks for offering this. I think it will get many users more involved.

How did the team come up with this project? What is the main goal you guys hope to accomplish with Deconet?

Okay. I'm joining today. Thanks for your help.

Hi! Deconet is part of a movement to make open source a more viable career path. I would recommend taking a look at this latest article that explains very well how/why we want to solve for this problem. https://medium.com/deconet/the-new-deal-for-the-open-source-community-92567f68f3a3 (https://medium.com/deconet/the-new-deal-for-the-open-source-community-92567f68f3a3). Additionally, this deep dive video interview with one of the co-founders, David Sneider, should give you a great overview as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urq97FQsvDQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urq97FQsvDQ)

I was reading something about Deconet releasing alpha smart contracts. What will be the main use/advantage of using them?

How does your team feel about ETHs big drop (and cryptocurrency in general)? Do you think it's temporary and that people just need to catch up to the tech?

I think it is so cool that you guys are helping open-source developers make money. I don't think people understand how much work goes into open-source code and how many people use it. I think this is a great idea and will incentivize more development.

What coins can you use on deconet?

Great question! Smart contracts are a great tool that, for example, can equitably reward all the software projects its initial project depends on, so when X conditions are met, X outcomes occur automatically without a need to pay intermediaries. They are more efficient, inexpensive and more secure than traditional systems. Blockgeeks gives a great breakdown. (https://blockgeeks.com/guides/smart-contracts/) Two interrelated smart contracts govern the Deco.Network ecosystem, and they
will run on the Ethereum blockchain. These are the Curation and Commerce contracts which govern the modules that are listed on the marketplace and the framework for accessing them, respectively. The Curation contract, which is based on token curated registries, enables DCO holders to curate the modules that are listed on the network. The incentive structure established in the Curation contract will motivate token holders to maintain the highest quality and most appropriate supply side. The Curation contract also governs select parameters in both contracts. The Commerce contract is what enables the application developers, aka the consumers, to transact in Ethereum or any approved token, including USD pegged stable coins. Upon receipt of payment, the purchase of a license or exception is written to the blockchain. Check out this article, https://medium.com/deconet/the-new-deal-for-the-open-source-community-92567f68f3a3 (https://medium.com/deconet/the-new-deal-for-the-open-source-community-92567f68f3a3) for a great overview for the Deconet project, and https://medium.com/deconet/deco-network-alpha-smart-contracts-e6ac31f7ef35 (https://medium.com/deconet/deco-network-alpha-smart-contracts-e6ac31f7ef35) for a deeper dive into how the smart contracts will work on Deconet.

Exactly... couldn't agree more. Consumers will be able to transact on Deconet in Ethereum or any approved token, including USD pegged stable coins. Additionally Deconet Tokens (DCO) are used for access, bounties, curation, and payment. Check into the whitepaper for more details https://deco.network/whitepaper.pdf (https://deco.network/whitepaper.pdf)

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain that. It seems extremely useful and I will definitely be researching those articles you linked. I'm sure I will have more questions soon.  :D

That sounds perfect. Also, thanks for your help and being so responsive. I really appreciate that in a team.  :D

Do you get discounts for using DCO instead of ETH?

Would this be considered one of the bounties you mentioned that you can pay people in DCO for? If so, that's a really great feature to have.

I've studied the road map and I'm pleased to see that the work will be done in a short time, compared to other projects.

Great question! Yes, you get rewarded by paying in DCO.

An additional incentive to keep in mind if you have any projects ready to put on the testnet: (from our whitepaper (https://deco.network/whitepaper.pdf))
Developers and other community advocates who join the testnet (https://app.deco.network) and are active will be put on a special whitelist that enables them to receive a discount at the time of the Token Generation Event (TGE). Our hope is that the entire token allocation for the TGE is taken by developers who are active on our testnet.

Thank you, that is nice to hear! Yes, we are moving as quickly as we can. Please join the Deconet Telegram channel (http://t.me/deco_network) so you can stay up to speed as news becomes available. http://t.me/deco_network.

Thank You Sir for the information. this information is very useful for us. so we can understand better with this project. hopefully this project has a bright future. ;D :D

Yes, absolutely. We are also promoting a sharing bounty program at the moment, which might be what you have been hearing more mentioned at this stage. You can start earning Deconet tokens today by joining our bounty program. You can get your share of the 7,500,000 DCO token pool for engaging on social media, creating content, and sharing Deconet with your friends: http://bounty.deco.network (http://bounty.deco.network)

Also, don't forget to join our Telegram channel of http://t.me/deco_network (http://t.me/deco_network)!

I won't speak on behalf of the team, but I personally think the value of ETH and others will be realized as more understand its potential. We're focused on the utility of building on blockchain to solve for a need we see right now in the tech community. Would love for you to join the conversation on our Telegram channel (http://t.me/deco_network).

One of the projects that's pretty cool is a mobile DApp browser (https://modules.deco.network/chris/react-native-ethereum-dapp-browser). It's like an open source version of chipher wallet. I would encourage you to sign up for our alpha testnet and explore all the modules posted so far (https://modules.deco.network/explore/projects), or submit a project yourself - we are always looking for more! Vote or let us know on Telegram http://t.me/deco_network (http://t.me/deco_network) which you find most interesting.

That is a really cool project. Thanks for sharing. There are definitely some good projects, even in this early stage. That's very promising. I'll definitely be exploring the different projects and will vote. Thanks :)

Deconet looks like a very promising project. Is there a bounty and what are the benefits of participating?

Once you purchase some open source code, can you then alter it? I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the details.

That's great to hear, and to answer your question - yes! You can start earning Deconet tokens today by joining our bounty program (http://bounty.deco.network). Get your share of the 7,500,000 DCO token pool for engaging on social media, creating content, and sharing Deconet with your friends: http://bounty.deco.network (http://bounty.deco.network)

Restrictions will differ by license, but the value of open source code lies with your ability to use it and modify it to fit your specific needs. Some examples of the process can be found in this article (https://medium.com/deconet/the-new-deal-for-the-open-source-community-92567f68f3a3). Also, please make sure to join our Telegram (http://t.me/deco_network) for updates.

Has your team been to any major blockchain conferences? Are you planning to attend any soon?

Do you think a talented developer could work full time on a platform like Deconet?

Thanks for the link. I think it's definitely people needing to catch up and it is only a matter of time. I think with good solutions such as deconet, people will start to see the beauty of the blockchain.

How successful has the bounty campaign been so far? Are you getting a lot of interest? It's one of the better bounties I've seen.

Deconet has a presence at most of the bay area events. One of the co-founders of Deconet, David Sneider is speaking at the Global Blockchain Forum (https://www.gbforum.co) in Santa Clara, CA tomorrow. You should say hello if you're there!

Thanks for the feedback! The bounty program is picking up speed, but it certainly helps the more people help promote. Would love if you tell all your friends!

Yes, that's absolutely the vision for what Deconet is building. We think open source developers should be able to earn a living working from anywhere. Check out this article that explains the model (https://medium.com/deconet/the-new-deal-for-the-open-source-community-92567f68f3a3). Also, David Sneider talks a bit about this in his deep dive video interview with Origin (https://medium.com/originprotocol/origin-partner-interviews-deconets-david-sneider-106600cd1a95).

Also - don't forget to join the conversation on http://t.me/deco_network (http://t.me/deco_network)!

I definitely will be joining that Telegram soon. Do you guys have a really active community there as well?

one good project in my opinion, and I hope this project can run smoothly.

This project is very solid and promising. You already have a working product and a really great team. How did you guys meet and come up with Deconet? Were you guys developers who experienced the struggles with open source development?

I really like the idea behind this project. Does Deconet have any big partnerships? If so, who is your biggest so far?

It is good to see you guys are rewarding use of DCO. I think that's very important. Also, I will keep that in mind about the discount at TGE. That's an excellent idea as well. When is the TGE?

Perfect. I got registered easily with no issues. Thanks for the help.

my pleasure, Dipsomaniac

That is really great. I bet you guys learn a lot and get your name out there. Great to know. I will definitely keep my eye out for Deconet at events I make it out to.

Appreciate that, please say hi when you do. And don't forget to join the Telegram channel (http://t.me/deco_network) if you haven't yet. A lot of conversation and questions get answered there, as well as conferences/events that we're participating in.

At first glance, we can evaluate it as a solid team and a successful project. I joined your telegram channel and I follow you closely on new developments. You have a nice way

Thanks for the reply and for providing helpful links. I believe you guys have a solid project that provides real solutions that could positively change open-source development. I really like the idea of having a marketplace for code. It is an excellent idea and I also really like that you are helping individual coders leverage dual licensing.

It is good to see that there will likely be the ability to modify the code to do what you need. I think that's the major concern I was having because, as you said, that is the value of open source code. It makes sense that certain licenses will have different restrictions. Thanks for the examples. It is more clear now.

I really appreciate how developers will have access via the command line and that Git is compatible. I can tell the Deconet team is experienced. Will you guys be using smart contracts for licensing?

Thanks for the reminder, I just joined. I like how active the Telegram is and how everyone is really helpful and responsive. I highly recommend joining if you are interested in Deconet :)

Has Deconet been in any news articles lately?

Sorry, I am not a program developer, I registered my account, but I can't understand your requirements! I'm sorry!

I definitely am joining Telegram :D Will you guys also announce it here? I just want to make sure I don't miss out on any of these major announcements. Speaking of which, what are your teams main goals for this quarter?

What is the deconet subscription billing that will be coming next quarter? What does it involve?

I am glad the bounty is becoming successful. I absolutely plan to tell people about it because this project, with enough users, can be very great. The more people who know, the better deconet will become. Also, the rewards for this bounty are well worth it.

For me it looks interesting. Do you have a working prototype of Deco.Network already?

no apology necessary! Will see if I can help. Are you registering with the testnet or the bounty program?

Yes! You can sign up for the alpha testnet today at https://app.deco.network (https://app.deco.network). You can submit projects, and you can test out buying a software license using the ropsten testnet.

Telegram is best, but we will likely be sharing here as well. Focusing on dual licensing and API Commercialization on ETH mainnet this quarter

DCO is a utility and U.S. citizens can invest, correct? I thought so, but I just want to verify because a friend asked me.

I don't entirely understand the licensing details of Deconet. Will it be utilizing smart contracts?

That is definitely the future of development. I really hope Deconet takes off. I see no reason for developers to be confined to any particular location. They should be able to work from anywhere and I believe that Deconet can make that happen.

What does API Commercialization entail? Do you have a link that explains it for beginners?

So all bounties are paid in your token? If someone wants to post a job they need done, they'd have to first purchase some of your token?

Do you guys have any interesting new partnerships in the works?

I think I read something about an ETH mainnet, maybe they'll be using ETH?

So will those looking to get code done, could they search job postings in order to pool their resources and make the reward for a particular piece of code that much higher?

I see this project is quite good in its composition. and I hope this project can grow rapidly

I came here to ask exactly this actually.

Hopefully the team has some time soon to answer questions.

Hi! We are fielding any investment/fundraising questions on our Telegram channel (http://t.met/deco_network). But you can also enter submit the Token Waiting list application (https://deco.network/#welcome) to narrow down eligibility.

Yes, Deconet will be utilizing smart contracts to apply licensing to open source projects.

Thanks, we hope so too! You can help by joining the bounty program (http://bounty.deco.network) or by signing up for the Alpha testnet (https://app.deco.network/) if you haven't already.

Hi! Consumers will be able to transact on Deconet in Ethereum, DCO or any approved token, including USD pegged stable coins. Additionally Deconet Tokens (DCO) are used for access, bounties, curation, and payment. Check into the whitepaper for more details on this: https://deco.network/whitepaper.pdf (https://deco.network/whitepaper.pdf)

We are fielding most of our fundraising questions on Telegram (http://t.me/deco_network), but you can submit the Token Waiting List (https://deco.network/#welcome) application in the meantime to find out if you are eligible to invest!

Okay, I will ask there. Thanks for your help. :)

you're welcome!

What a great project you guys have here, am youtuber, let's take this project to the moon. Pm if you want me to review your ICO on my youtube channel

Is the bounty campaign still active? If so, when is the last day to sign up?

Yes! You can sign up right now for the bounty program at https://bounty.deco.network/ (https://bounty.deco.network/). No last date determined at this time.

in the MVP - developers can sell a proprietary software licenses that grants the buyer lifetime access. next quarter, we’re building more flexibility in for sellers, like subscription billion

No article yet, but that's a great idea! Sellers now have a second way to earn money from their code, they can sell access to a given function via API. APIs are how applications interface with each other.

Yes - that’s certainly within the scope of the product road map.

The bonus campaign has a lot of social media channels (reddit, fb, tw, linkedln) but every day only two post. That means that each person is allowed only one social channel. I think 2 posts for each social media channel is reasonable

Please tell the bounty time out of the time is an?  :) :) :) :)
