I've got 2 a couple budget proposal ideas.
1: Crystalise the Reserve Market - Dash Fixed Income Bonds
======================================
Take what
Node40, Splawk and people like that are doing and build a front end investment product that's financial in nature as opposed to "techie".
That would serve 2 purposes:
a) create one of the first financial products that's crypto-based" but pays out in fiat - i.e. a cryptocurrency fixed-income bond that can be traded, just like government or corporate bonds
b) further decentralise the masternodes (i.e. decouple the association between individuals and nodes).
I've never really seen nodes as being a "my node" thing. They belong to the network and individuals may control parts of the coin supply, some of which collateralises a node. Right now, we as individuals are caretakers for individual nodes, but I see that as being temporary. As the network matures I see a masternode more like a power station in a national electricity grid:
- it's may be commisioned by one authority
- it's maybe run by a staff of 200
- it's maybe owned by a corporation with 20,000 shareholders
- etc
The "Dash Bond" would be the start of the growth process towards that decentralisation. i.e. You'd have a web site like
this one that sold bonds for any amount. Behind the scenes was done all the work of purchasing the Dash, consolidating sums and managing the nodes etc.
First post here (GreyGhost over at the DashTalk)
-- I thought of your expertise as I wrote "
A Discussion of a Crypto-Currency Masternode Network as an Investment Opportunity" (for the DashWorld
https://www.dashwhale.org/p/DashWorld proposal) and this is perfect.
Evan himself thinks of masternodes as bonds.
The more I dig and think about the Dash Project the more I am aware of the lack of consistent message. I feel we have to position ourselves as the money for the P2P crypto-economy and your ideas are on the top of it.
MAID SAFE COIN: The New Decentralized Internet;
ETHEREUM: Decentralized App Network (and a catchy: Rise of the World Computer)
IOTA – no need for blockchain; the Money of IoT
DAO - infrastructure of the collaborative economy.
And we are what? "Better than Bitcoin"? Yawh. "Better" is a very weak word and means nothing.
Out of InstantX we can create slogans;
Out of DarkSend we can create slogans;
Out of MN as bonds we can create slogans and push the agenda.
The possibilities are endless.
