Crowdfunding feature

Open ghost opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Imagine an author that wants to release a book/film/music in public domain.

Before releasing it for free for everyone (in a CC0 ou CC-BY license), he wants to receive at least 10.0 BTC for his work.

It would be nice to have an option to sell shares of a goal (i.e book release in public domain).

When all 100 shares items are sold out, each one costing 0.1 BTC, a download link with URL becomes visible to all users.

This should be doable. Lighthouse has an on-chain way of doing it, we could simply integrate that same thing into OpenBazaar. Should work for both services and digital goods. Physical goods might be interesting too, for a Kickstarter-style thing, but that would complicate things a bit.

I mean, releasing the funds when the treshold is reached should be easy enough. Releasing when the actual service is completed, like releasing that book/film/music, would require some sort of oracle service.
