But ideas are not a scarce resource, anyone can easily copy them. Even if you created good ideas, why would anyone pay anything? Unless you patent your patentable ideas I don't think this system can work.

Because there is a track record, like a blockchain in Bitcoin, and people will be able to figure out eventually, to whom the credit is due. Eventually, we will not need hidden intellectual property to retain credit to whom the credit is due... Many people say that time is money, few say that information is money, but it is. The whole internet keeps a record of who came up with what idea. With the rise of things like Ethereum, and other advanced information technologies, it looks like there will be a day, when thinkers will get their proper credit, even for the ideas of the past.

culturally-neutral domain name

Ain't no such thing. You're using Roman alphabet, that traditional tool of white dead male imperialist aggressors!

Now, if you manage to do a domain name consisting of a some letters from a Roman alphabet, some from Cyrillic, some from Devanagari, some from Hangul, etc., that would actually be fairly impressive. Unusable, but impressive :-)

Well, I like the Ethereum ÐΞV, or ∀∃∞.

Your website name is hard to remember. Get a .com domain with a decent name: http://www.paulgraham.com/name.html

Btw., we aim for culturally-neutral domain name. Thing like oo.io would be great, but it is already taken.

Will add alias domain names, good advice, thanks! :)

From the outside it's not clear how the sorting works. You likely want to have a system that's not simply chorological but that put's funded items that receive money and are therefore likely of higher quality at the top of the list.

A new comment pushes the topic back to the top of the list. So, whenever someone comments, -- someone notices it... We're working on it.

You likely don't want to have money transfered peer-to-peer but let money go through your website.

No worries. We've got another revenue model, but thanks - a good suggestion.:)

In that case I don't understand your difficulties. Just persuade your mind to stop screwing around and give you what you want.

There are difficulties. Specifically:

  • how to get people write projects
  • how to get people fund projects

Improving trust and ease-of-use.

A mind is a puzzle to solve, too.

The thing is, this is how you will be perceived when you come to the table like this... This is how everyone who comes in with an idea, very little work, and no credentials will be perceived... That's really the takeaway you should have from Villiams post. Not "He's wrong about me" but "I'm coming across wrong" or possibly "I'm going to prove him wrong"

I see, [MattG]. True, and I know why the perceptions. Anyway, we have team members who did projects comparable in size and functionality with booking.com, and are very experienced in Python/Django development, toptal.com level. The [Villiam]'s estimate of $100 is laughable.

Sure. But you are talking about things inside your mind. How about things in reality, outside of your mind?

Who said that there exists the outside? :)
