Some points:
-
There ought to be some panel that can check security of any apps that enter the crowd funding platform. Let’s face it, there are many ideas we can make up, though without persons with the knowledge to produce them then it can set up plenty of disappointment.
-
Just because someone is screaming “I have money, let’s get the crowd-sales going!!” doesn’t give a good reason to make a crowd-sale. For sure a real intention to make something happen should exist, with at least know-how already involved. Also, the amount of real effort available is a huge consideration to lead to a successful application.
-
Regards to the platform, to make a crowd-sale you need a website and wallet addresses.
In this post I mentioned what led to a successful promotion that now has a project on its way to delivery:
Considerations For Future Crowdsales SAFE Network projects - #5 by Jabba
A crowd-sale platform residing on SAFE Network is exciting especially, and I got confused a few times, are we demanding a crowdfunding platform for some network other than THE SAFE Network? because right now it won’t be possible to use SAFE for crowdfunding. We can use bitcoin block chain and embed material in it, later we will have coins for SAFE Network when it’s up and running.
We can use the omni without using any of omni’s branded platforms, can literally fork omni, or even write our own wallet with new “guts”. If you wanted the platform here today, then you can definitely fork the existing implementations and rebrand them that’s for sure. I am finalizing a voting application that uses the omni coins, effectively we will be able to cast votes and validate them using bitcoin keys that hold omni created assets; can see more about it here: GitHub - safex/vote: voting module for SafeExchangeCoin holders
I’m not championing omni here, just riding the rode. SAFE will pave a new road, at least then more devs will be devoting a full time to their applications. Which would make a crowd-funding platform very important so it makes sense to be forging plans today. The main question I have is: Are we needing a walled garden crowdfunding platform of our own today, or planning to have one for when SAFE is live?
