The team behind Maker is now in the process of branding ourselves as a company with a business model similar to Cryptonomex - we call ourselves Nexus and will focus on dapp development and development as a service. Our whole team went to the Blockchain Summit in Shanghai and I wrote an update about the trip today:
https://forum.makerdao.com/t/blog-draft-nexus-report-shanghai-global-blockchain-summit/315
The one thing I didn't include in the update (as this is still a very new idea) is that Nexus plans to also focus on the opportunities within the BitShares ecosystem as a part of our business model that we'll use to sustain ourselves on the road to deploying Maker and accomplishing other of our long term goals.
Among things we're considering are: Making a worker proposal in exchange for products that will improve the value of BTS, and making a registration and referral funnel. We're still just exploring the various opportunities, and as a part of that me and possibly some other Nexus members are planning to hold a hangout in the MKR room on the beyond bitcoin mumble server this afternoon 3 pm east coast time (9 pm european time) to hear the communities thoughts regarding worker proposals and what kind of products we can offer the BitShares community.
If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to write here as well, I'll try to respond before the hangout, or answer during the hangout.
What I'd like to see...
A worker proposal from someone who can be a legitimate "second source" to Cryptonomex so that the world will realize that's actually possible. (BTS shareholders are then truly in control.)
I'd also love to see a project like Maker commit to simultaneously deploying on both Ethereum and BitShares the way that Adobe Photoshop deploys on MacOS and Windows or WeChat deploys on both iOS and Android.
I'd spend quite a lot of press-release ink on that story...
:)

Could you record the mumble and post? Thanks
So now we have CNX and also Nexus potentially working on BitShares, nice +5% and good luck with your project!
Alleluia! Looking forward to see the proposals, we need man power!

Do you have a portfolio of your work somewhere?
We are working on something that the community might find interesting. We'll reveal more about it "soon". Our focus is on making Ethereum/Graphene interoperability easy and accessible. The holy grail would be to make a trustless or near-trustless two way peg in the future, but at first we're taking baby steps.
We have decided not to make a worker proposal for now as we have found a better way to monetize our product, and we think worker proposals should be reserved for public goods that cannot be monetized in other ways.
