As someone working on a crowdfunding platform that I would like to be able to release the source code as an open consumer union implementation, I have concerns about enabling unmoderated crowdfunding.
The power of a collective wallet is not something to be taken lightly. Whether it's environmental destruction or divisive politics, I have yet to decide that setting something like this free is for the best interest.
I would like to see an open source license like the GPL that has enforceable, well-defined provisions for environmental protection and human rights.
It seems like to go all the way, a smart contract would need to be used to ensure the transparency that a standard webserver-based infrastructure cannot provide. But credit cards are the standard for online payments so this would put a project in a further category from the start.
- hbadgery 7y agoThank you for sharing your concerns. We will not be an unmoderated platform and I will look into the GPL license, thank you. We are at the very beginning of our journey and so there are many features to come.
- numtel 7y agoSorry if there was any confusion. I was wondering just in a general sense. I did not mean to imply anything about the moderation of OpenTeams.
- _-o-_ 7y agoСrowdfunding platforms are glorified blogs with Stripe integration. What exactly are you afraid to opensourse?
