"That's what your startup intends to achieve by creating and dominating a new market. Startups 101. My idea can be done by a number of organizations copying the same template for business, legal, and tech."
I recommend finishing the blog post - our core protocol has no fees and we encourage anyone and everyone to adopt it. This protocol solves the problems of unregulated scalping and counterfeits. We also have a services layer, which is an API anyone can use with usage charges, that help integrate the protocol easier - but we do not force anyone to use these.
So, we intend to dominate the market as a non-profit open protocol that anyone can use to build their applications on top of. It will create more competition in the market, since to differentiate people using the protocol will need to build even more value add services on top to drive users to their applications rather than others.
- nickpsecurity 9y ago"our core protocol has no fees and we encourage anyone and everyone to adopt it." There's all kinds of standard protocols dominated by one player with first-mover advantage and branding. You all going for that plus having an open protocol aren't incompatible. I give you all props for having enough integrity to make the protocol open and encourage independent use. Good luck to you regardless of whether I prefer simpler, old tech for these problems. I'd rather the problem get solved by an available, good-enough solution rather than not at all. :)
