Delegate Wish List
matt608:
Something needs to be done about expanding wish lists like this into a list of 'job offers' in a new sub forum which can be promoted outside of current Bitshares developers. With comments like this starting to arrive:
http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/2nouij/make_2500_a_month_being_one_of_the_first_persons/cmguyvw
And no where to specific to send them.
People just say 'make a delegate for yourself' and give them a huge barrier to getting the work done, learning about delegates, setting one up, campaigning, paying a huge fee upfront. It's crazy to make someone do that and it will just turn people away. We need to have a few delegates with 100% pay voted in to be run by people who's responsibility is to hire developers for specific tasks. Bounties are no good because the worker never knows if they are going to get paid as there could be others working for the same bounty.
While the agreement between delegate + voter can be informal, consisting of campaign pledges rather than contracts, when a delegate hires someone else they need to have the option of offering a contract with a fixed amount bitUSD for the task, not requiring the worker become an elected delegate. If delegates need to be legally defined to do this then we need a discussion about what delegates should be legally defining themselves as being.
I would eagerly vote for a trusted figures such as BM to have another delegate (or 2) pledged to be used entirely for hiring.
For marketing its a killer angle to have job openings working for a blockchain, even if they don't end up working for it directly (some will though).
We need job listings, at least 10 separate listings created in a new bitsharestalk subforum called of 'job openings', with the skills required and a task or small group of tasks.
Once this is done and there's a delegate elected and ready to 'hire', this message can be blasted across the world at low cost because its such an awesome story.
I'm running as a marketing delegate and having this done would be hugely useful. Some big traffic can be drummed up, and developer interest stirred up at the same time!
Please do it!
Tl/DR:
- We need funds available and ready to spent on hiring by a trusted figure (e.g. Bytemaster)
- A more comprehensive list of all desired tasks
- A new subforum where tasks are separated (reasonably) and its made to look like the feast of opportunity that it is. This can then easily be promoted as a 'special place on the Internet' etc (+ can replace the bounty forum).
- Discussion about the legal definition of delegates. Does the whole thing need to be informal? That makes us 'slippery', hard to interact with the world.

Better yet start a whole new website for it. It doesn't need to be a big coding enterprise. A clone of Elance costs under $900:
http://www.agriya.com/products/freelancer-clone
We could set that up and have an in-house bitshares jobs site. Only delegates have access to post jobs. Simple. If it gets busy enough it could even become an income source by turning on the listing fees. There would just need to be a little of work on it to integrate bitUSD as a payment option and offer bonuses to employees to accepted payment in bitUSD.
This is the way to do it. Get a site like that set up and then we can promote it to great effect.

Great work! May I suggest the following modifications:
1) Add a referrer account that will receive some BTS when the new account is registered.
2) Facebook Login
3) Ask user to share their friends / social network for additional BTS for everyone who signs up (whether google, twitter, or facebook)
4) Rather than asking the user to "enter their KEY + name"
5) Error message on invalid public key is not friendly
6) Check the availability of a username without having the user "click" the button.
I fully support your efforts with this and would like to keep the faucet funded!

I have updated the title at http://freebts.cubeconnex.com:3333 (the child frame). However, the title is still not showing because the person taking care of the 'parent frame' needs to update the title for it to take effect.

@toast: please put it into the OP!
We should push this list into the "open positions" press release prepared in rune's thread
