Potholes - they suck. 

The United States in particular, is already extracting significant tax revenue from its population while it is failing miserably at delivering some very basic services.  Many roadways are in embarrassingly poor repair; paying increasing taxes over time has no apparent effect.  How can individuals in a community prioritize such a simple thing as fixing potholes?

Imagine a world where every time a pothole crosses your path it is a cause for action instead of cause of frustration and you take direct action that has a meaningful impact.  You are able to quickly and easily place a bounty on a pothole, which combined with bounties placed by others in your community quickly accumulate to create a compelling economic incentive for the repair of the pothole. 

This is PotholeCoin - a project that simply needs to happen.   

Not only will PotholeCoin address the chronic irritant of potholes, but it will also lay a foundation for broader application of the principles of self-organization and direct-action to prioritize things that we care about that the incumbents are not addressing.

what if you fix a pothole and you do a shitty job?

and then someone gets hurt because of you not fixing the pothole properly?

am sure some lawyers will find a way to sue you into the ground especially in the USA...

pothole repairs can be critically necessary band-aids [though not a full replacement for road maintenance.]
that said, it is unusual that a patch will make a pothole worse.

the objective of the project is to create a decentralized incentive and reward structure vs. addressing concerns of 3rd parties.  reactions to this activity will likely vary widely from place to place; it clearly doesn’t scale to address case by case.  the approach is to create an economic incentive mechanism and let the broader ecosystem adapt to this as it will.

Well, a good play is a good play, but if one makes it to Broadway, that means it's backed by lots of CASH, meaning production values can be so spectacular that the gorgeous sets, famous actors and technical genius can breathtakingly take your focus away from whether the play is actually that good or not.
