Building a platform where ad engagement earns sats rewards. Feedback welcome!

from the ETF perspective, i'd love to figure out how to enable in-kind redemptions so that ppl can redeem without a tax event in a self-sovereign way when they are ready. there are gold ETFs that allow for this so it should theoretically be possible but the SEC is not allowing it at the moment. so more wood to chop there.

I wrote part of this as a reply to another article but it seems fitting to post it here and go into a little more depth with it, as it seems like a pretty important concept for us (bitcoiners) to understand....

It just seems to me that Bitcoin is a system of value communication that is completely opposite to the FIAT system.... Under FIAT you have inflation to the monetary supply making the which lessons the purchasing power of the future supply.... I think this is a more widely understood concept... Your $100.00 USD today will buy you less tomorrow or 10 years from now

On a Bitcoin System you have an ever increasing amount of purchasing power due to its scarce supply.... Your 100 sats purchase today will only cost you 90 sats tomorrow or 10 years from now.... This concept seems to be much more difficult for people to understand...

However, we are Bitcoiners here...and hopefully if you are reading this, you understand that....I think what is more difficult to then comprehend is the next order effects of what this does to each and every system we currently operate on... I think previously I have stated that Bitcoin literally overwrites each and every system we have...this is every system you can think of....I can't think of a system that won't be impacted one way or another by Bitcoin...

Anyway back to the Business Model and property management in particular...Being built on a Bitcoin Standard

I posit that entrepreneurs' that build businesses that excrete value the most will be the most successful in the long term (as they will be the businesses providing the most utility/value to their customers - of which they are looking for the best value for their Bitcoin)?? 

- I think this is important to remember - we are not simply building businesses that utilize Bitcoin for ourselves or for the corporation, we are building businesses that will need to incentivize their customer to come and use their widget or live in their property...Similar to how things operate today where the customer is looking for the best bang for their buck....however it is different on Bitcoin as that customer currently has a very large desire to hodl their Bitcoin and get rid of their FIAT...They are not going to be as incentivized to utilize BTC as payment for a simple 10-20% discount on something (In FIAT terms) as they will weigh the potential future buying power of that BTC against their ever inflating FIAT cuck bucks...

If the customer/consumer you are looking to attract is looking for the best value? Businesses that are able to lower their prices in BTC terms over term are going to be the successful businesses....These are going to be the businesses that manage their cash/BTC flows wisely and truly leverage the BTC network effects to underwrite the future value of their businesses. For instance, if I am able to lower my rent in BTC terms indefinitely and all but eliminate my future FIAT needs at my property, I reckon I will have Bitcoiners knocking my door down to be able to move into my property...while my neighbor who is over leveraged and spends all their FIAT cash flow on vacations for themselves or fancy cars that they don't really need will slowly and surely find themselves in bind when more "Bitcoiners like me" buy buildings and lower rents in the markets they operate in...those FIAT maxi's will surely be selling me their buildings at a loss or I will buy them out of foreclosure as at some point....the tipping point is met and they simply get caught overleveraged and under funded to beat me. 

- Businesses that spend more value than they create will be among the first to go....

- Businesses that create the most value and that are able to share that value with their customer's will be the most successful over the long term.

- All businesses will be somewhere in between these two categories I imagine...I am already reducing the rent all my residents are paying as my BTC savings are able to offset the need continuously raise the rent and those that are paying me rent in BTC are benefitting even more by utilizing the shared % I offer them on the increased FIAT value of their paid BTC to me. So they are seeing maximum value being returned to them...Sure this delays my ability to benefit from the BTC they pay for 6 months....but in the big scheme of things that is nothing...My properties will be fully collateralized by BTC sooner than my competitors who do not and will not ever use BTC (this is that idea of the guy who discovered the heart pumps blood around the body and stated no doctor over 40 would ever believe him) Very, very, very few owners of real estate period are likely adopt BTC in the next 5-10 years....and those of us who do, certainly have first mover's advantage...

Anyway - I think that is good for the day....look forward to any discussion (good, bad, or ugly)....

### Introduction

Resolvr is building **Open Source Justice**  by empowering sovereign communities to peacefully and voluntarily resolve their own disputes with open-source tools.

Our first product is designed for a community close to home:  the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) development ecosystem.   We've built a peer-to-peer bounty marketplace that:

* gives developers **assurances of payment** for solving bounties,
* decentralizes and grows **FOSS funding sources**,
* unlocks access to the **global talent pool**,
* provides a frictionless on-ramp to **earn** **Bitcoin** **(₿)**.

[![screenshot1](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkPj4wmUT.png)](https://resolvr.io)

Resolvr does this by:

* limiting discretion of bounty grantors through **reputational stakes** and a **Bitcoin** **(₿)** **escrow** powered by [Discreet Log Contracts](https://atomic.finance/blog/discreet-log-contracts/)🔮,
* resolving disputes through **crowdsourced review** of bounty solutions,
* using **nostr**🦩 for interoperable and censorship-resistant bounty discovery,
* using **Lighting**⚡ zaps for **instant bounty payouts**.

**The alpha webclient is now live at [resolvr.io](https://www.resolvr.io).**

### The Problem

> The root problem with conventional bounty marketplaces is all the trust that's required to make them work.

Satoshi Nakamoto (probably)

#### 1. Centralized Custodians are Security Holes 🕳️

❌ Centralized bounty marketplaces that hold bounty funds can exit scam or go bankrupt.

* This year, BountySource (5,445 listed bounties worth $406,425 in 2019) stopped paying out bounties to developers.

❌ Existing bounty marketplaces, like Replit, don't have instant or free payouts:

* Devs are rewarded in Replit's 💩-coin and must request USD conversion by email.  
* Replit charges a 25% withdrawal fee and requires a minimum withdrawal of $350. 

❌ Knowledge workers in developing countries, many of whom rely on mobile wallets, have lost their funds via bank and telco attack vectors ([$3M USD via 2,000 SIM cards, lost](https://qz.com/africa/1915884/uganda-banks-mtn-airtel-hacked-by-mobile-money-fraudsters)).

❌ Centralized bounty sites can censor posts for projects the site-owners disagree with or find unsavory.

#### 2. Bounty Grantors are Judge 👩‍⚖️ and Jury 🏛️

❌ Bounty grantors have unlimited discretion over whether a solution meets their bounty criteria.  And they can change the criteria after the dev has satisfied the original bounty.

❌ The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) recently [changed its criteria](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5xTGMojZwU&t=4987s) on a nostr bounty **after** a dev provided a solution to the originally posted bounty.  HRF decided to pay the dev only half the bounty.

❌ This is inherently unfair and inefficient!

### Resolvr's Solution ✔️

1. 📡 Distributed, interoperable, censorship-resistant communication protocol for bounty posting and discovery,
2. **(₿)** Peer-to-peer lightning payouts and non-custodial escrow system,
3. ⚖️ Decentralized Dispute Resolution

### How it Works

[Check out the Walkthrough here.](https://youtu.be/3_STomyKxa8)

#### Zap Payouts and Crowdsourced Dispute Resolution

1. Login to resolvr.io with your existing nostr keys (or let resolvr.io generate keys for you - remember to back them up!)
2. Set up your profile by 
* Linking your GitHub identity to your nostr profile (through resolvr.io or Amethyst on android) following [NIP-39 instructions](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/39.md#github)
* Getting a lighting address for zap payments (getalby.com)
3. Maker (entrepreneur, foundation, FOSS project) - post a bounty with a detailed criteria and amount.
4. Taker (freelance developer) - find a bounty to solve, apply to the bounty.
5. Maker - assign a Taker to solve your bounty.

##### Ideal Path

6. Taker - solve the assigned bounty and provide a link to the work product in the comments (e.g., github repo or PR)
7. Maker - click "pay" to zap bounty reward 

![Zap Ideal](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkMsKsg86.png)

##### Happy Path

7. If either party disputes the bounty:  Taker or Maker clicks "poll" to initiate a nostr zap poll,
8. Community members (other Makers/Takers) review bounty/solution and vote to resolve the dispute,
9. Maker - if community votes in favor of Taker, zap payout.

![zap happy](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkM2Yje8p.png)

##### Sad Path

9. Maker does not comply with community decision, burns reputation and cannot find developers for future projects.

### Innovations

Resolvr's success is aligned with the success of **nostr**🦩 and bitcoin.  We're advancing the tech with novel applications: 

* Authored [**NIP-43**](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/865):  bounties over nostr
* Discovered new use-case for **NIP-69** zap polls: dispute resolution
* First p2p bounty marketplace with **instant payouts** over lightning
* First p2p bounty marketplace with **integrated dispute resolution**
* New **frictionless onramp** to earn bitcoin, grow circular economy

### What's Next for the Resolvr Bounty Marketplace?

The next dispute resolution feature on the roadmap for the Resolvr bounty marketplace is on-chain DLC🔮 escrow.  We're putting DLCs🔮 on **nostr**🦩 and building a desktop client to do it!  

The desktop client will allow Makers and Takers to post, apply and assign bounties just like the web client.  But it will also create and broadcast DLC🔮 escrow contracts.  In the event of a dispute, the Resolvr oracle will attest to the results of the crowdsourced zap poll to release the funds to the winning party.  

In the future, Resolvr will allow Makers and Takers to select their own oracles, and communities can be listed as "review association" oracles, earning bitcoin for resolving disputes over bounties (think:  foundations, hackerspaces, bitdev meetup groups).

For more details about our DLCs🔮 on nostr, check out the Resolvr's [escrow repo](https://github.com/Resolvr-io/escrow) on GitHub!

In addition to DLCs🔮, Resolvr's roadmap includes: 

* Decentralizing the default Resolvr oracle through **FediMint**🔅 protocol and FROST🥶.
* Scaling escrow through **Lighting**⚡ DLCs🔮
* Bounty review and code testing with AI🤖 (DVMs)

### Beyond Bounties...

The Resolvr Project is building an open-source dispute resolution system on bitcoin and adjacent protocols.

Resolvr will revolutionize dispute resolution on a global scale, offering secure, open-source, customizable, decentralized, and radically cost-efficient mechanisms for **infinite use cases**.

![DR multiverse](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJULbD78T.png)

Dispute Resolution is a big opportunity, with increasing demand driven by AI services and microtransactions.
