Basically I stated that while I am really excited about DOPE being included in SSR with fees waived it doesn't satisfy our hopes for a decentralized market. This is because SSR exists on I2P like the original SR existed on Tor, a hidden service on centralized server. So, there is still a central point of failure, which is what we wanted to eliminate. Also, SSR is in its infancy so while I hope it works out great for everyone it has not yet proven that it is secure, stable, and trustworthy. I stated that it theoretically could disappear at any time leaving us back to square one or worse.
This is correct. You are right it is just a hidden service this is true and there are still central points of failure. All good points above.
I went on to state that I would like to see Dopecoindude continue his search for a dev who could make us our own decentralized market based on a framework that Dopecoindude had shown me in IRC, or at least maybe get someone who could write us some software to build a framework for accepting DOPE on the Open Bazaar project.
Right, and my response was we will move forward with doing so. We can do both for this.
I cautioned against re-directing bounty funds for advertising and pointed out what a disaster squandering funding on advertising had been for Potcoin with their radio ads and bulletin boards etc. I stated the only advertising we need is free: Facebook, Twitter, BCT, etc. I stated that we needed more tools instead to make DOPE more adoptable and that when "we're at the top of Trex with 200 BTC in volume because we're up 2800% in the last 24 hours, motherfuckers will take notice".
I agree more. This is where people get most in trouble is they over spend themselves with those sort of silly stuff. I guess I wasn't to clear in what I was purposing
We all basically agreed on these points and there was a lot high fiving and warm fuzzies.
There was many high fives and fuzzy bear hugs!
Dopecoindude also added a point that I forgot to include in my original post: the attention and expected increase in volume/price from SSR would make our bounty start to look very attractive to potential developers. I believe he also mentioned that he has been talking to another dev who might be interested in developing the decentralized market with a different framework that he hasn't shown me yet.
Yes, this would be one good by-product of SRR. Is our bounty would start to rise in value thus making it look more attractive to building a decentralized marketplace to some dev and yes, talking to someone ( a few peoples actually ) about such a thing happening.
In a subsequent posts, Dopecoindude said he still felt that we could use a little advertising to increase awareness. I stated that we should try to drive traffic to Dopecoin.com the old fashioned way, by delivering valuable content to surfers. This way we would be targeting our key demographics: crypto-geeks like us and the technologically less sophisticated that want to access dark markets but don't know how. I made a few suggestions like:
1. A step by step written guide on how to access the SRR for complete noobs. (be the top result when you google "How to access SRR")
2. A comprehensive guide on OpSec while using Dark Markets like SSR.
3. If the multi-pool is going to support GPU mining, a complete and up to date guide on optimizing your rigs for the latest and most profitable algo of the month.
Yes, these are all things that I agree can happen ( should happen ) . After our website update here shortly I'll focus in on these particular tasks.
It was more organic and inspiring the first time around but you get the gist....
I couldn't agree more!
