⚖️ Resolvr ⚖️ - Week 5: Showing off the Goods

Resolvr is a decentralized bounty marketplace for the #FOSS community.

Working Demos and Feedback

At the end of the team’s all-hands call on Monday, we used the Resolvr bounty board to post, apply for, and pay out a bounty. The process took less than a minute:

Peer-to-peer bounties over nostr and lighting!

It's working!

Two of our team then demoed this bounty-board experience at Miami BitDev’s Socratic Seminar, where we received constructive and insightful feedback on the architecture, design, and incentives. And a non-developer entrepreneur expressed interest in using Resolvr to find developers to help build a unique bitcoin-native app tailored to his business. This reaffirmed our thesis that an open bounty marketplace with built-in review panels will empower nontechnical and small donors, decentralizing the open-source funding process.

And, finally, we sought and received feedback on the project on Stacker.News with a post highlighting the need for a bounty marketplace that can't steal bounties and won't charge exorbitant fees!

We want more input! Tune in to the next all-hands call to see our progress and chat with us. (11/06/23 @ 1:00pm ET)

In the next week we’ll be grinding hard to launch the bounty-board feature of our project for public use. So sign up here to get notified first!

And get your bounties ready!

Progress

  • Nostr🦩 Bounty Board:

    • Streamlined signup/login process with onboarding for users new to nostr.

    • Zap payouts fully implemented.

    • Substantial progress on using NIP-69 zap polls for basic crowdsourced dispute resolution.

    • Mirroring bounty posts with standard social notes for viewing on microblogging clients

    • Overall UI/UX improvements

  • Escrow (₿):

Problems

  • FediMint🔅: Need to bridge decision of review panel (users of webapp) to federation signature (produced by Guardians running mint software) for escrow transaction without having reviewers serve as guardians and run full FediMint🔅 software.

Roadmap Revisions from Week 3:

  • Replaced celebrityescrow with DLCs

Project Roadmap:

  • Build bespoke nostr🦩 bounty board.

  • Implement DLCs for bitcoin (₿) escrow

  • Develop fedimint🔅 bounty review coordinator module

    • Tier 1: AI🤖

    • Tier 2: Sorting reviewing developers into jury panels

  • Implement FROST🥶 into fedimint🔅 to sign (₿) DLC announcements and attestations consistent with review panel decision and sign nostr🦩 events on behalf of the federation.

  • Build front-end for reviewers to interface with fedimint🔅 coordinator, allowing access to bounty materials, ability to sign votes, and access to earnings.

  • Conduct design research with alpha testers in all roles.
