LoveMachine is a StartUp by SecondLife founder PhilipRosedale? that wants to apply a new CodingCostModel.
LoveMachine has built an application that is open to the public where they do all their work as a team – the WorkList?. By going here, developers can find or suggest tasks that they would like to work on for LoveMachine. The developer can place a bid for each WorkItem? that he wants to work on.
The GoldOwner can define so-called runners, who can spend the budget and accept bids. After a bid gets accepted, the developer can start to work and complete the WorkItem?. Soon after completion and CodeReview, the developers get InstantGratification and are paid with payment services like PayPal.
