General Discussion / Re: DEX Proposal
« on: January 01, 2016, 04:27:04 pm »Maybe CNX can manage these cheaper, hands-on developer teams for awhile and overtime they may become more self-reliant.A lot of people have expressed interest in having me/CNX focus on the DEX.
If that is the case, I can create a worker proposal that will fund almost full time DEX development. It will require about $30K per month to have Val, Ben, James, and I working on the DEX 75% of the time.
Otherwise we will have to find other ways to make money.
What are your thoughts on such a proposal? We would focus on API + Bond + Maker.
I don't think this is unfair and is just what it costs CNX to do more work at this stage.
It would be good to see estimated timelines for each feature.
Given that we can possibly get Latvian/other Devs for $12k a year, I think CNX's focus should also be on trying to create a second team of overseas devs that are outsourced whatever work it is possible for them to handle.
BTS's value would increase substantially with another team or group of developers working on improving BTS at the same time & for much less than US based devs could.
Helping get as many new devs up and running would also free you to work on MAS/personal passion and focus on the more lucrative banking/other contracts CNX has.
I like this idea. why not create a worker proposal to train up a bunch of cheaper devs from eastern europe so that company can compete against CNX.
I think this is the direction Jakub is going, probably at a more realistic place & KenCode seems like someone who could ultimately manage such a team - https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20823.0.html
I wouldn't say compete with CNX as new visionary features are something BM & CNX are ideal for, but completing the periphery work at a price BTS can afford as well as the more mundane work, could be ideal for a cheaper group of BTS proficient E. European devs.
