We plan to crowdfund development of a system that will empower everyone to perform | |
giving and microdonation as a part of any transaction. | |
Many open source projects do not have necessary support to fund the work on an ongoing basis. | |
We plan to use the funds raised to support the work of development and maintenance of | |
the giving feature for the first year of work, which will include work to promote adoption | |
and support through multiple wallets and decentralized protocols, including, but not limited to bitcoin. | |
On github, the users ABISprotocol and ktorn provide vision and direction on the project, and will | |
work with coders or developers who are interested in contributing. Bounties or rewards for work | |
may be released - to those who provide commits needed and requested for the project - via | |
multisignature account(s) shared by ABISprotocol and ktorn. Please contact ABISprotocol or ktorn | |
to inquire as to how you can help with one or more of the tasks shown below. | |
This crowdfunding effort will last for over a month and will accept donations of bitcoin, litecoin, | |
and dogecoin. Other decentralized cryptocurrencies may be accepted as part of the crowdfunding effort. | |
The link to this workplan (Microdonations using Cryptocurrencies) will be provided in a crowdfunding | |
platform to be chosen by ABISprotocol and ktorn. | |
All development efforts for this project will be carried out in a manner that will: | |
empower anyone to give to multiple parties as an aspect of any transaction, | |
as a feature that would be activated at each individual user's option for either specific | |
transactions, or every transaction, depending upon settings chosen by the user. | |
The election to use the giving feature, corresponding settings, and in fact every aspect | |
of the use of the giving feature will be voluntary, and will be designed to be initiated | |
by the user (and will be able to be initiated, changed, or terminated by the user at any time). | |
The crowdfunding aspect of the project will provide 50 BTC | |
(total value, including all cryptocurrency donations) to support and fund the following. | |
The breakdown of funds allocated for each item is: | |
1) development and circulation of a Process BIP (bitcoin improvement proposal) | |
3 BTC | |
2) testing and extensive review of at least four modified wallets, using bitcoin's testnet | |
8 BTC | |
3) an open source, free code base that will be able to be incorporated | |
into any bitcoin wallet to make the giving feature available everywhere, | |
involving a bounty (reward) for the following 3 language implementations: | |
C++, Java, and Python. | |
The bounty (reward) will be 3 BTC per language, thus a total of 9 BTC are allocated | |
for this item. The bounties (rewards) are not issued on a "first-to-the-finish" basis, | |
but rather are contingent upon agreement by ABISprotocol and ktorn that the implementation | |
accomplishes the task in a manner consistent with the spirit and intent of the project. | |
9 BTC | |
4) ongoing work on a fork of the MultiBit wallet, in which work has already started on | |
incorporation of the giving feature, and development of the giving feature into at least | |
three more wallets (such as Chromawallet, Darkwallet, Electrum, Hive, or KryptoKit). | |
12 BTC | |
5) public relations and communication to encourage individuals and | |
organizations to adopt the giving feature | |
6 BTC | |
6) additional funds to support ongoing work on, and maintenance of code | |
for the giving feature, and to work on the wide-scale incorporation of it in | |
multiple systems (year 1). Bounties will be established as needed | |
by ABISprotocol and ktorn to support completion of this task. If crowdfunding | |
exceeds the initial target amount, funds will provide more support (into year 2, or further). | |
7 BTC | |
7) development of a 'cascading revenue sharing protocol' (CRSP) | |
see Open Issue at https://github.com/ABISprotocol/ABIS/issues/1 | |
5 BTC | |
