Thank you for your great work on bitsharesblocks .
I think you worth more than 100% pay rate by your skills .
But from a share holder point of view , 100% pay rate is a rare position , maybe only 20% of the developers can get that amount , so my personal feeling would be if you can use these incomes to do something more economical benefits for Bitshares ?
bitsharesblocks is a very practical tool for the tech users . But to most outsiders , they might not want to get into that deep .
For example , if I'm a writer , I wrote some stuff and want to sell it for BitUSD automatically . I suppose these will be such system provided by you , that I can set it up easily on a 10 USD / Month VPS , once someone send me 1 BitUSD , your system automatically send out the article through a e-Mail address(even register code for shareware , redeem code for BTC-e , every "send-able" resource you can think of ) . That would help BitUSD get wider adoption , so it has great economical benefits .
Another example , people are finding a hard time getting the 0.1 BTS fee to register , if you can provide such a system that allow people easily set up a "give away" website that let ordinary users input their public key then send them 0.1 BTSX automatically .(input with CAPTCHA) . This would also help promotion of BTS . Many people hate begging people around just for 0.1 BTS .
The big marketing campaign is coming on December , there will be more people who want to learn about BTS but not care about any "block" or "delegate election" , so the pressing issue would be how to help those ordinary users to gain useful value from the system with your excellent skills .
Thanks for the input. I agree that the economic benefits from bitsharesblocks are not easy to measure, but I do think it is an important service even for less technical users. With an influx of new users I think it will be even more important to have an external tool users can rely on to verify that their transactions happened and especially to check delegate information. As competition for delegates heat up, I suspect more and more people will be interested in the information provided by the site.
The registration site you're describing is basically a faucet, I believe there's already a template available for this that was used with DNS. If noone else launches one I could definitely look into doing so. Your writer's content distribution service is an interesting idea that I'll have to think about some more and maybe deserves its own topic!
For now though the projects I listed will take all of my time, but I will of course take into account community feedback on what's important and what's not. Maybe the VOTE implementation will allow shareholders to vote on the importance of different projects in order to guide developers!
