Greetings Steemians! I have recently founded a project called Decentralized Mobile Justice with the aim of raising awareness, and capturing evidence of police brutality or human rights abuses. Currently everyone (including myself) are working on the project in our spare time to come up with a proof of concept. After a proof of concept is ready, a crowdfunding campaign will be ran. Contributors will receive a token called DMJ, however there is no set release date for a crowdfunding campaign.
The application is being ran ontop of the Ethereum blockchain utilizing IPFS. Video footage will be received by people who run citadel nodes that are used to upload a file to IPFS. It will also be mandatory that after the presale it will be required that each person with a major stake in the project (for example the Founder, and Co-Founder) maintains a non-compensated Citadel node with a local backup system. At the moment IPFS is being used as the decentralized storage network, but this may change later on.
The reward system is designed in the follow fashion:
We will also be using, and modifying the livepeer framework as they have built an incredible protocol which we will be using to deal with all things video streaming.
So ya that''s the latest project I've been working on and will be putting a lot of man hours int as I think this could be a meaningful application with real world human rights benefits,, and not just another shitcoin. I wanted to make this post just to get the project out there, and hopefully spark some interest and get some people to help volunteer. To volunteer submit a pull request on the Solidity branch of our github repository.
If you think this is a cool idea, or something that's useful and interests you, resteeming this post and upvoting it would be greatly appreciated!
