Any progress of this proposal?



It seems really good.



There are several important features that is needed for the token economy:



1. Coin offering, or contribution mode: it can open the contribution by anyone to the project.

2. The funding should be able to spread over time automatically, so that the funding will be less likely to be miss used by the project creators;

3. Token can be spread over time: token economy are about incentives. Make people to behave in the goodness of the long term of the project is usually needed. Token should be able to be able to locked up by a certain period of time;



4. Some other incentive related mechanism, which is very common in corporate governance process.



If these mechanisms does not exists in the decentralized protocol, then they usually will not be implemented in the ICO process, which is damaging the effectiveness of the economy; Or the crowd will need to rely some centralized service or individuals to force these mechanisms.



If it is possible, we may implement the proposal of OP_GROUP in a fast way, if the above two features can be implemented into the protocol by soft fork or no fork. If it needs to be implemented by hard fork to add those mechanisms, we should be certain that token and the software infrastructures which will have been built for the economy will not have to go through some unacceptably difficult upgrade process.
