Kickstarter/Fundraiser for Open Source Projects #8

Open Binabh opened 3 years ago

Binabh commented 3 years ago

How would you describe your project?

Kickstarter/Fundraiser for Open Source Projects. How TNB has implemented the reward system for the development of the payment system is quite impressive and I think It could be done with other open-source projects also. The currency for such Kickstarter can be TNB coins (points).

Scenario: Someone comes with great opensource Idea and posts there in the app with a goal of getting certain amount of coins. If people find it cool they fund it using their TNB coins. The coins can then be used by the opensource project to

  1. Make a reward system similar to TNB payment system.
  2. Reward Moderaters.
  3. Rent and develop infrastructures like servers, services etc. (when vps/cloud/hosting providers begin accepting TNB coins)
  4. Various other purposes Fundraising can also be done for feature addition.

What problem does it solve?

This could help in both developing open source as well as in adoption of coins. This way coins can reach most of the opensource contributors.

Who is the target market?

Opensource development

What do you think is the opportunity of this project?

It is a great oppurtinity to expose the coins to tech community as well as help opensource.

How does it integrate with thenewboston digital currency work?

As mentioned above the currency for fundraiser will be TNB coins/points.

Are there any competitors?

Currently present kickstarter apps.

Will you need specific information or advice?

Yes, Regrarding use of payment system in flutter project.

What are your goals and objectives?

Make TNB coins as leader in currency for opensource contributors.

How will you evaluate project success?

Get around 1000 projects kickstarted through the app

What risks should you plan to manage?

There might be many fraud or scams requesting the coins. For this, milestones could be set and only then fund would be transferred to the opensource project owner. Other check mechanisms could also be established.

What are your milestones?

How many total coins are you requesting?

Around 100,000 cions maybe. I am not sure though. This could be discussed further if you find the idea plausible.

GitHub usernames and roles of all team members:

We will also need other people in our team.

Hey @Binabh can you please change your proposal title with your project name? And also please check new template for the project proposal, you need to add milestones for your project as well.

Binabh commented 3 years ago

@manishram done.. let me know if any further changes needed

manishram commented 3 years ago

Hey, @Binabh are you going to fund these projects with thenewboston digital currency from thenewboston's treasury or something else? Please make it clear.

@Binabh can you please answer the above question?

Binabh commented 3 years ago

@manishram sorry I was out of GitHub. Basically the idea is of the platform where people can put forward the ideas for new/ existing open-source project. It is then funded by other people with TNB currency. People who already have TNB currency will fund the project if they like. The receiver of the donation then starts the project and uses the fund raised to incentivise the developers of the project (Just like in TNB currency project where currency is given for solving issues).

Scenario: Lets call the app OPENKICK Now person A comes up with the idea of developing a tool. Lets call it TOOL1 Then A posts the idea in the app OPENKICK along with the work they have done. Suppose people who already have TNB currency like the idea. then they fund the idea with their currency because development of TOOL1 will be beneficial for them also. Now person A has the money and starts working on the project. Incentivise other developers for solving issues (bigfix or feature addition) by placing a value on each issue. Which makes the development of the project faster and more efficient.

In this manner TNB currency can reach more open-source developers.

The idea is similar to what TNB is doing right now here. But instead of using github issues as platform we can provide a platform accessible for any one and instead of project being funded centrally it can be crowd funded. Hope I was clear. I know the idea is difficult to understand but it will help TNB currency to reach more people.

Congratulations @Binabh , your proposal is impressive. Please provide the repository link of your project. You can provide an empty repository link for now if you have not already started working on your project.

Binabh commented 3 years ago

thanks @manishram . I will setup repo this weekend.

Binabh commented 3 years ago

@manishram hello there.... I have become busy for my exams which were cancelled due to covid and are happening next month. SO, I am not able to give time currently. For now I would like to move to idea only or inactive. Its okay if someone else picks up the idea. Or I will continue once I am free. Thank you !

Make sure to update your applications as well. We don't get paid by coin request anymore it's a flat rate each fee. 19600 a week to be exact
