I suspect that if quality is not met the payment is not made.. What do you think? Isnt this the problem with taking a service into the global marketplace?
If the intent of the project is to create free software for
marketeers then the
business plan that is suggested would work great. It is no different than how freelance programming is working in this day and age outside of this project, other than the fact that all works would be released in open source. This would have the effect of creating
less potential work for software developers over time. As it is right now most paying in hard cash want the software to be proprietary so developers are continually re-inventing wheels. The only difference in the system being suggested here is that payment would be done in DVC instead of hard cash. This would be helpful for the speculators of DVC. To the developer there is
absolutely no advantage to use this system. At least nothing that is obvious to me.
