Perhaps this has been proposed before, and forgive me if it has, but it seems like we need an open source market. Some code that's not owned by any one market, but a framework that anyone can use to spin off their own market.
Markets get taken down all the time. It's a fact of life we have to recognize. But even when someone comes along with the balls (and stupidity) to operate a DNM, a ton of their time must go into software development, delaying the launch of the market. On top of that so many of these new markets are ridden with obvious security issues.
If we could create an open source market that was freely available to anyone who wanted to open a DNM we could improve security in the space as a whole and reduce downtime. Has this idea already been proposed? Is there already a team working on this? Is it on github? If not is there anyone else who would be interested in contributing?
we should all just move to craigslist
