[ANN][BOUNTY][ICO] Deco.Network | Software licenses on the blockchain

[Dipsomaniac]

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?

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.

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 and follow the instructions there. This Demo Video 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. 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

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.

[HerrHeimlich]

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?

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

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/

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

[cryptoreadyplay]

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 Deconet be accepting additional investments outside of the ICO?

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

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

[Crypto_Man1212]

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. To learn a bit more about the team, check out Who's the team building Deconet?.

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 - 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!

Thanks! 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.

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

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.

[cryptoreadyplay]

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.

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. 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

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

[bananafana]

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?

[celestio]

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?

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

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. 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 for a great overview for the Deconet project, and https://medium.com/deconet/deco-network-alpha-smart-contracts-e6ac31f7ef35 for a deeper dive into how the smart contracts will work on Deconet.
