It's a noble cause, but a task like this with potentially large ramifications by someone without existing work on Monero seems problematic.
There's also no clear milestones or definitions of done in the CCS. I think the this proposal needs more research.
@MoneroBro Do you have any history of contributing the Monero that you can add to the OP?
Following the completion of these milestones, can you walk us through an example of what a marketplace user would be able to do? i.e. Download the software, deposit escrow funds, create a listing, etc
If the price of Monero drops between funding and development time, how will that impact your milestones?
In addition, does the marketplace have plans to be profitable for the developers? If not, will future funding come from the CCS?
If users want to sponsor the market I'm all for it, but personally I feel like we've seen a large number of projects with huge scope never take off. I am more comfortable donating to pre-existing services that have proven practicality and are looking for improvements.
Is the payout date going to be August 21 2023?
Flatpak packager here. Getting official support from upstream provides an amazing experience, since it means the sandboxing uses proper portals to access what it needs.
Basically, it's a huge UX win on top of everything Flatpak offers. tobtoht is offering a great service here.
The work by the XMR.ru team impresses me to no end. This absolutely has my support!
