RE: Pitch Me Your Project

in #steem6 years ago

@theguruasia, that is a really cool idea, and I think what you're doing takes the technology in the right direction.

I think the idea of proportionally and perpetually compensating developers for open source contributions to projects (similar to Utopian.io, but note the proportionally and perpetually as subtle key differences) is the future of software. Especially looking at EOS as decentralized operating systems, I've began pondering the possibility of new types of software licenses for open source projects that would allow for modification, but would mandate that certain "phone home" mechanisms remained in place throughout the utilization of the software in order to reward with original creators of the open source project in question (perhaps with Steem or some other token) perpetually for the contributions.

I've talked about a system that I believe would allow that system to be a possibility here and would love your feedback on the brainstorm. Here is one video and here is another that goes into a little more detail.

Cheers!
