I laud the effort and will watch closely
however I have seen a few of the P2P exchange threads now full to the brim with details, if as much time was spent coding as writing these long descriptions, we would have P2P exchanges by now, eg satoshi coded bitcoin before writing how it worked
The goal here is to aggregate those currently working on p2p exchanges and see where we can get common ground. Then to pool development and problem solving resources. A p2p exchange is significantly more complex than just a cryptocurrency due to trust issues, the amount of fiat instruments in the ecosystem and the notion of protective leverage.
The issue is that there isn't just one way to resolve these problems. Instead there is a spectrum of potential solutions that really would require both indepth analysis and probably a stress test to see is the system is scalable. Due to limited resources, it isn't possible to do this for every solution thus we have to somehow choose to discriminate.
Stage one of Invictus is to figure out a working definition of a p2p exchange based on a set of criterion and create some sort of comparison chart to see where everyone's implementation falls. Stage two is to pick a subset of technologies and construct a working prototype. Stage three is to stress and pen test it.
Even if the initial minimum viable product fails, we will still have a pool of ideas to draw new MVPs from until something comes along that works. Invictus isn't a one month project. It's here for the long arc to solve Bitcoin's biggest problem.
