Incorporating Ethereum

[jaredscheib]

@dsernst, what are the details on using the DAO to vote on proposals?

• Can we reasonably manage people's DAO tokens to make it more convenient?
• What are the details on running Ethereum from a mobile device?
• What are the costs associated with running on Ethereum?
• Is there a precedent for charging platform fees for DApps?
• Is it reasonable for The DAO to consider investing in this project?
• Can pure ethereum users participate in this project, without going through our client app?
• Can we adjust the current DAO proposal periods to less than 2 weeks?
• Can we implement ranked voting in Smart Contracts? Where in the code do we make these changes?

Can we reasonably manage people's DAO tokens to make it more convenient?

• Yes

What are the details on running Ethereum from a mobile device?

• Little support right now. Blocked by pending work on Light Clients.

What are the costs associated with running on Ethereum?

• Fractions of pennies.

Is there a precedent for charging platform fees for DApps?

Is it reasonable for The DAO to consider investing in this project?

• Unlikely, since it doesn't have a clear way to earn money back. But maybe they'd be interested just for the hell of it?

Can pure ethereum users participate in this project, without going through our client app?

• Yes, we could issue tokens if people want to access directly through the blockchain.

Can we adjust the current DAO proposal periods to less than 2 weeks?

• It's probably easiest to just roll our own code. Ethereum already wrote a good tutorial to make your own DAO: https://www.ethereum.org/dao. Go read that, super fascinating stuff.

Can we implement ranked voting in Smart Contracts? Where in the code do we make these changes?

• Yeah, we should be able to do this. We'll write this is our custom contract.

@rdixit: Where are we at with ranked voting?
