hi, all!
MED client did not update on official website:
http://www.mediterraneancoin.org/ and it is still v 0.8.6.3.
Anyboday could compile v 0.8.6.3 to MAC OS X?
Here, I post some MED planning via MED Dev email to me.
------------------------
Here is a first proposal from our side:
[warning! it is of course very ambitious and will take time and resources to build it! thinking about a project divided in phases; investors are welcome, of course]
- maintain MED presence on btc38.com and cryptsy; add some 2 other main exchanges
- build the MED "Social portal", see below;
- MEDSMS, text-based gateway and wallet system using ENCRYPTED SMS (instead of typical clear text sms that can be intercepted and/or stolen)
- MED payment processor for merchants (the code is mostly complete)
- MED mobile network payment system integrated into Athonet Primo (
http://www.athonet.com/athonet/cube.php): we have been using and developing since 2009 with these devices; with Primo you create private 4G LTE autonomous network [we would like to announce this during GSMA Mobile World 2015 in Barcelona; what do you think about buying together a small stand there? estimate costs: 30.000 euro; we visit GSMA Mobile World each year and it is a great place to be in for business]
- MED online advertising system
- MED vending machine (or more generally altcoin vending machine)
- some specialized, ready to use MED ecommerce apps (i.e. think about "order online your Pizza and pay with MED")
- MED smart mobile apps (addressing blockchain issues etc)
- MED VoIP services (basically, third party VoIP or telecommunication services paying with MED)
***MED "Social portal"***
- strictly integrated with Twitter, Weibo (and possibly other like Facebook, reddit) social platforms
- new crowdfunding business model:
-- users form a dev team, write and publish a project proposal on the portal (including what kind of "rewards" or results for stakeholders; i.e. source code, MED, services....);
-- a third party escrow team (rewarded in MED) is formed by the community to monitor the dev team and check that objectives are reached;
-- project is continuosly promoted through portal, social network tipbots and internet online advertising
-- stakeholders contribute with assurance contracts (mechanism already present in MED tipbots)
-- project develoment is done by dev team, escrow team checks and releases funds to dev team and/or as stakeholders objectives are reached;
- content comes in part as mash-up from social networks platforms (through MED tipbots)
- users can create their own MED Social account (i.e. as you say using one of their MED address)
- anti-spam technology using MED; possibly integrate in gmail
- market place for services, goods etc; including payment processing for merchants (not necessarily to host their websites on the portal)
- news site
- forums
- dedicated search engine for MED and cryptoworld in general
- MED online advertisement
- Peatio exchange
also, we want to explore geo-tagging with MED (and its services); i.e. I am working/tourist in a place, what is there related to MED? i.e. even taking a photo and tagging it with MED information can be used in some way... to be explored.
also, we think that a big issue today in ecommerce and b2b is the cost of transportation of goods; we see that there is an upcoming trend where a collaborative model for goods transportation is arriving... cryptocoins can help on this (i.e. escrowing)
And finally, a word on the African side; lot's of people try to immigrate to Europe, and find immediate difficulties because of very few jobs etc. Promoting MED to this people could be very useful for them; also cryptocoins are very good for money transfers, so refugees in Europe can be sent MED from Africa (or send MED back). This basically can be very simple to perform, just need good translations in the various African languages.
