PostBump™

PostBump™ is an idea for an app that would enable blog readers to incentivize blog authors by trading PostBump™s of free licensed blog posts they appreciate, for bitcoin.

This would give readers a new opportunity to strongly influence authors to make available more of the kind of content the readers like. This would also provide authors a direct way to earn bitcoin for their work in posting that kind of content. This idea aims to help vastly improve the quality of desirable content freely available to the general public.

The Link: A PostBump™ would consist of a little link contained in the actual blog post. The blog author would use the app to get the unique link for each new blog post. Then, the reader could follow the link to use the app to trade the PostBump™ for bitcoin.

Trading: Traders could buy and sell shares of the PostBump™, somewhat like stock in the stock market. The author would start out owning the shares, and the author would set the initial asking price. The first traders would buy original shares from the author.

Bitcoin: App users could use bitcoin to buy and sell shares.

Authenticity: Before allowing an author to offer shares for sale, the app would require the author to verify the PostBump™. To verify, the author would submit the URL where the content, including the PostBump™, was available. At this point, the app would verify the content included appropriate notice that it was licensed under the CC BY-SA license.

Other Ideas:
  • This app could start with blog posts then expand into other things (music, videos, software)
Note: PostBump™ is an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for Dev Cloud, another idea on this site.

Shared Project Manifesto Version 2

Contents: Introduction Launch Trade Reward Develop Vote Harvest 1. Introduction IP (Intellectual Property) is a great asset but it is hard to produce well. We hypothesize that a market to facilitate shared projects would make it easy to produce IP better. The Shared Project Model The market contains projects. Each project has one admin and a number of traders and developers. One user can have any combination of roles at the same time. For example, a user may be an admin and also a trader, or a trader and also a developer. Projects Users Admin:  Provides ideas in exchange for control Traders:  Provide incentives in exchange for growth Developers:  Provide IP in exchange for incentives 2. Launch When somebody came up with an idea for an IP product, they could create a project for it on the market. That person would be the admin. The market would record the time the admin launched the project. That lasting record could pro...

Nuke Login™

Nuke Login™ is a software product that would provide secure access to computer accounts without the user needing to worry about passwords or related concerns. Like other password manager products, Nuke Login™ would provide the ability to automatically login to many different accounts, but it wouldn't require a password to login to itself. Instead of replacing many passwords with one, it would replace many passwords with a different process. Also, Nuke Login™ would not only manage the process of logging in. It would manage the whole login-related processes for the accounts, including registering, logging in, changing the security information, logging out, and closing accounts. When a user was registering for a new account, if they only needed login credentials to register, Nuke Login would automatically generate those credentials and register them. If other things were needed, Nuke Login™ would take care of the login credentials and mask them in the registration process so the u...

Contact Codes™

Contact Codes would make it quick and easy for any individuals or organizations to exchange all kinds of relevant, accurate, contact information. Then, the same service could be used to provide secure login and password recovery. Solution:  We would provide new codes for free through a public site on the web. Contact codes would be relatively short, unique codes, designed to be easy to enter through electronic devices. The codes could come with web addresses to retrieve the associated contact information. The web site would be optimized for mobile devices, and we could also provide mobile apps. Unlimited Applications: Associated information could include actual name, physical address, phone number, email address, and links to profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. It is important that we would not limit the associated information to any specific kinds of contact information. This lack of such a limit would allow these codes to be used for all  kinds of contact inf...
