Projects i'd like to see get funded:

1) Hardware and iOS/Android wallets

2) Merchant POS apps, devices, businesses, whatever...just get bitUSD out into the world

3) Direct fiat-BTS-bitasset on/off ramps so i don't have to keep telling people 'you first need to buy bitcoin and then you can buy bitUSD'

Even though CNX is a heavy dev company I don't see the need for input from them .. in principle we could also have a software development in europe and one in asia .. in the end, the shareholder vote for their hardforks .. not CNX .. and from what I know .. BM doesn't want to have a say in BitShares at all ..


the more devs joining our community, the better; esp when they're distributed around the planet working on tangentially related projects making use of our products. hopefully the release of 2.0 sparks a lot more autonomous dev involvement.

IMHO it should look close to a regular job application? maybe less personal stuff and more job/experience-related content

stimmt!

Although it is only to be expected that initially most projects will be put forward by CNX or individual developers.
As well as targeting businesses to integrate, are there any efforts to recruit new dev teams?
Or at least inform them, I'm sure cypherpunks would be pretty keen.

I know nothing of how easy it would be to inspire them to learn the codebase but worker proposals may take a while to be large enough to fund teams motivated solely by profit

Wouldn't these be much more effective as project proposals than job applications? The core goal is to create value for BTS and demonstrate why any project will do so. So we need to be able to compare the strategic advantages of different work directions. I also suspect most of the community can't easily judge the skills of a developer (CNX itself seems best placed to do that), but they can make judgements on the cost/benefit of a project.

Project proposals would normally include, amongst other things:

- description of project
- benefits
- costs
- risks
- timeframe
- resources
Eventually .. yes but as long as a delegate can hardly pay a single person's expenses I don't see how it could fund a whole project ..
But I agree ..

Exactly who implements is a secondary consideration, as long as CNX is internally comfortable with feasibility and availability of resources.
Don't get the relation to CNX .. the blockchain can also pay for indepenent 3rd party projects .. like a hardware wallet, public API, coldstorage services, mobile wallet, alternative wallet and many more .. not just core development.

I think such project proposals could in principle be formed by anybody in the community, with input from CNX. Although it is only to be expected that initially most projects will be put forward by CNX or individual developers.

You own the network, but who pays for development?

This post is to start having the community building a list of things we must have once worker proposals go live. 

If you have your own proposals, add them in here. 
This is phase One.
