The CryptoFresh block explorer is notorious for going down, and it's currently our only web block explorer which many services rely upon.

I believe that users have reached out to the owner of CryptoFresh unsuccessfully requesting the open-sourcing of his explorer in return for a payment/worker-proposal (despite his requests for witness votes to fund the website), so I think it's a good idea that we try to lure new developers to this task.

I understand that anyone can create a worker proposal to request payment for work, but it appears that only long term community members have had the confidence to create worker proposals. Perhaps it would be worth creating a public bounty which upon the delivery of an open source block explorer is paid out?

If there was an open source block explorer, I'd run my own Gridcoin themed Bitshares block explorer & I'd imagine that many others would run their own explorer.

What do you think?

What should be the minimum requirements of such a block explorer?

What would be a fair bounty for such a task?

Looking forwards to the sharedrop

Interest/Profit-Sharing/Dividends was discussed in today's Bitshares Hangout, give it a listen when it's released.

Would anyone be interested in collaborating on a BSIP for this idea through google docs (or a more FOSS alternative platform)?

Thanks for adding Open.GRC to BTSBOTS

If we had custom dividend rules for UIA, you could potentially set an x% issuance per year to be distributed to said UIA asset holders - you would be able to migrate POS cryptos to such a system with a one-way-peg.

How would we cover the 100% collateral though? Poloniex does this with a centralized insurance fund..

Ideally all witnesses should be publishing feeds.

How much "interest" do our miners make daily?  Do they want to share it with the users of their chain?

Or do they choose to keep all the freshly created BTS for themselves?

Your questions were answered long ago when you chose not to subsidize liquidity, and so the capable man who wanted to code liquidity incentives for us for free, left.

Back then (before we voted to give our miners a raise) we said it would be too dillutive to incentivize market makers.  How hypocritical are we?

Witnesses (what you're referring to as miners) draw funds from the reserve pool, we're talking about reallocating fees for the purpose of profit sharing for asset holders.
The guy that left wasn't going to do it for free.
Who cares about the hypocracy of others for past forgotten conversations? The point of this thread is to look forwards not backwards.
