Okay, I added the burning to the description, and created a worker proposal thread.
If that can't be paid, I'm in full support of this basic solution. But I used to know this as a community that thinks big, let's get that spirit back!

If you want my honest opinion, I think freebie, yourself, data, ccedk and metaexchange should really consider working together. How that can be done seems like something you would all be best to work at...but this early in the game it doesn't make sense to me for this much competition.
To me...thinking big means thinking of all these people wanting to make their own exchange should pool their resources for the good of BitShares. I mean...why not?
Yep, freebie, seraphim and metaexchsnge seem simiçar projects. Competition is good but with such limited resources its not a good idea to spread them like that. You should at least talk with each other and try to do something in collective, which could even have more potential. I dont know how far everyone is willing to go on working together, but you have more chsnces of pulling that off if you do it together in a single proposal than many proposals. It also seems a mpre solid idea.
I was rather upset when I found this thread yesterday. Fuzzy told me 2 weeks ago that I'd definitely need to talk to freebie about the dx, and while I was still waiting for his (and others') feedback this thread popped up.
The dx project should be a community effort, and everything I wrote was set up for discussion. Now a simple statement in this thread, which was clearly born out of the idea I laid out, that what's suggested as an own project could easily be implemented in the collaborative project is considered a thread highjacking. Should I continue with the misleading board and title of this thread now?
Never mind. By the looks of it the dx project cannot be financed anyway, and if someone thinks yet-another-centralized one will be able to attract a meaningful amount of traders this may be an option.
I've been through exactly that though, and definitely won't go that same path again. Either we do it right and can finance it, or it's in vain from the beginning.
