Stanford just released their Startup Engineering class on Coursera. One of the final projects is a Bitcoin Selfstarter crowdfunding site!

LOL

Well, that's sound more believable.

All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Makes sense, there is not room for 100's of BTC crowdfunding sites. If this is bullish news, its mainly about that many people learn about BTC rather than the end products ATM.

In the real world they might be converted to fiat-projects.

BitCoin is NOT a pyramid - it's a pagoda.

Hey guys, like I said. I am actually taking the course, and I can tell you that every student has to do that project.

I think you guys are misinterpreting what is meant by one in that sentence, because if you click on the link there is a screenshot of the course logistics slide and you can see that the final project is a bitcoin self-starter. Every student will be doing the same thing.

You're 100% right, there isn't enough room for 100's of BTC crowdfunding sites, but that's not the point of the course. The point of the course is to be able to build one, and then promote it in the real world. It's a competition to see who does best, in reality most startups do fail. But startups are all about failing fast, and failing cheap.

As far the 3-4 man groups goes, the lecturer stressed in one of the lectures that he'd prefer that people work individually. Although I think some collaboration is allowed not sure yet.

Anyway feel free to believe me or not. If you go enroll in the primary source (the course) you can see exactly what is going on.

Hopefully, I can count on you guys will help me with my own crowdfunding site when the time is right Smiley

That's super cool. A close friend of mine is taking that course and told me about the bitcoin component of it already, but thanks for bringing this up. Exciting times ahead!

Well, I'm shocked that this hasn't been bigger news on the speculation forum, and I was hoping the price would drop a little before I brought it up, but Startup Engineering, a major online and on campus course run by Stanford University yes , the same one where all the kids got rich making facebook apps is running a course on how to build a Startup from the ground up.

And guess what the major project is?

A Bitcoin based Crowd Funding site!!!

Think about it over 140,000 highly motivated independent entrepreneurs are learning how to build apps for bitcoin!

Granted 90% will probably drop out, or have no interest in bitcoin....

But what about the remaining 10%??

10% of 100k is still 14,000 entrepreneurs.

Even if only 90% of those are failures or move onto better things

This still leaves 1,400 of the most capable people on earth who are now building new things for bitcoin.

An amazing number. At the very least we'll get a new crowdfunding site out of it that will trump anything out there at present. At best we could see a whole new bubble of innovation get spawned from this.

Not to mention the crowdfunding site in itself will spawn innovation.

I'm cancelling my sell orders. It's only up up up from here!

According to the link in the OP the final project was due in March.  Was it delayed?  Or is it just the online course that is later?  It looks like when I click "Online" it has a June 17th start.  I am just curious.  Thanks.

lol tough crowd.



Thank Massive, I remembered hearing something about this but it certainly deserved its own thread. However, I would suggest making a clone in the Bitcoin Discussion forum or asking a mod to move it there. Too many trolls in the speculation zoo

More innovation involving bitcoins is just what we need. I can't wait to see what comes about from this.

Yeah me too. Bitcoin has so much untapped potential. I wish I didn't have to work and could spend all my time building BTC apps. Got some great ideas

Bitcoin has no potential yet to be exploited, it's leached dry.
