Today I read Joe Urgo's Medium article "Introducing the district0x Network" and I thought that I would share it with you because it's very interesting for a few reasons. However, before I delve into that, I'll tell you a little more about District0x.
You might be wondering "why the funny name?"; my guess is that the 0x at the end is a reference to all Ethereum addresses starting with 0x - pretty geeking and cool!
The genesis of District0x is Ethlance - a decentralised marketplace for hiring Ethereum developers; without the need for any middlemen taking a cut or selling anyone's data. The work is paid using Ether; so the developer receives the payment quickly and the employer can prove they have the funds.
Similarly to how 
In fact, the first application on District0x will be Ethlance - Joe is working with the creator of Ethlance to make this a reality. The next project to go live is tied in the Ethereum Naming Service; that will allow you to sell the domain names that you purchased as part of that auction.
Of course, just like we have a reputation based community here on Steemit - where all interactions are publically available and you have a provable track record and visible standing the community; the same will apply to the communities created using District0x.
Does this developer deliver his code on time? - let's check.
Does this employer pay on time and home up their end of the bargain? - let's check.
District0x's communities are designed to be governed solely by the members of the community in a completely autonomous and decentralised way - similar to how The DAO was meant to be.
What Blockchain project these days wouldn't be complete without its own token and an ICO?!
District0x is no different. There will be a 'District0x Network Token' (DNT) that will have to be 'staked' in order to join a community and participate in the governance of that community. In return, you will receive a proportional number of votes on the community's decisions.
Creating districts/communities will be free.
