This is simply a thread where people can share new thoughts and ideas. An example from a few years back might be the Bitcoin debit card that has come out over the past year or so. That is a great idea for a service that is making it around.
The ideas can be for services, like the debit card. Website or organizational ideas, like a site where people can compare the exchange rates they recently traded at. Technical ideas, like burn wallets.
If posting an idea here I would expect both criticism and support, be prepared for someone to play the devil's advocate. They may mention things like trust and legal issues. Also, be prepared to hear that the idea has been done and you just happened to miss it.
For those that are "helping", please be kind. There is a difference between "I just don't see that idea working" and "How F-----ing stupid are you?"
I hope that no one here steals an idea from another person, but it could happen. I would rather see a person with great ideas and little technical or business know-how team up with a person that can make their idea happen. While you can steal one idea and run with it, do not forget that you are leaving behind the person that thought of it and likely has more thoughts like that to come. This is a place for sharing and teamwork. Do not forget that without Paul Allen, none of us would have heard of Bill Gates.
I will only moderate this thread for outright SPAM and outright MEANNESS.
i hope idea is booked on some thread, wish moderator can help to create thread about idea,and we would more easy to disscuss about our idea,not just on this post and so many quotes.
I work all day and at the same time have two kids home for the week of spring break, so it is hectic for me. While I was at the office today I came up with the idea to create a project site for the best ones that hit here. There are plenty of pre-built CMS that will work and I have some server space. The only thing that I do not have is a proper domain to use. The only free domain that I am not using at the moment is nexxusdomains.com and that really does not fit. So......two things that I need everyone to pitch in on.
1. Help come up with a domain name that will work for a "multi in-development project site" based on this thread here.
2. I think that voting is the best way to pick which projects hit the site.
I only want to use some kind of system to limit the number of projects because there are going to be some that are not quite ready. I am not picking on anyone, but will use the P2P mobile network as an example. It is a great idea, but you are going to have to take some first steps before anyone is going to follow you. I want to implement a crowdfunding back half to the project site or even a second domain for crowdfunding and I would hate to see people invest in projects that are not past the initial planning stages. The P2P mobile idea is awesome and I am not saying to go out and build a cell tower in the back yard or drop a load of cash to convince people to get behind you, just put together a bit of a plan. I started this thread for ideas from the bottom up and I do not want to discourage outright brainstorming. If you have the idea and not a clue where to go with it, speak up and say that. Others can take your idea and run and with the right level of cooperation, every one wins.
Edit Addition:
The more I think about it, the more ideas I have for controlling some things. Here are a couple tentative rules for being listed.
Buddy System...every project placed on the development site needs a minimum of two people on the project. Anyone posting an idea here that is Jr Member or below will need a user to agree to partner with them. This is not a financial obligation, simply that each project needs two people and one of them should be above Jr.
Each project to be considered will have to have its own thread. Take your time and plan out your OP. Put together the thread and make sure that it is self-moderated so you can keep it neat. Add the link to your original reply/post here.
At the moment, I cannot think of more than that. As time passes this thread will be neatened and cleaned. I would not suggest trying to sig spam. Projects listed here will have one of two things happen to them. Projects added to the project site will be asked to condense most replies into their OP here and delete any that are not important. Once a project is picked up, I intend for it to only appear here on this thread once. Most replies will be deleted and that OP should have a link to the project site, a link to thread that is devoted to that project and a short description.
Projects that go nowhere or get little attention will be deleted after a reasonable period of time. At the same time, if there are a couple of replies they will be deleted.
Anyone on the forum that is willing to help maintain this thread and keep it neat, let me know.
