I'm searching for developers, lawyers and advertisers interested in the project!\r\n## Description\r\n### Why?\r\nWe live in a society in which huge corporations have the power to influence economies and trends. Today Amazon is the leading company for selling goods across the web, they [don’t pay taxes](https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-not-paying-taxes-trump-bezos-2018-4?IR=T), they [underpay their employees](https://teamster.org/news/2018/02/amazon-workers-underpaid-micromanaged-and-under-surveillance), and they are [disrupting local economies](https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/Amazon-effect). We think that the world deserves a better alternative, so we decide to found Nile.\r\n###  What is Nile?\r\nNile is a decentralized ecommerce that promotes local stores, and it’s commission free: all the money you pay for a good goes directly to the seller. Nile is made to be, as far as possible, similar to Amazon; so, when you are searching for something, you’ll not even notice that you are using a decentralized system.\r\n### How will you earn money?\r\nThe application is decentralized so we just need money for the developers, the lawyers and the advertisers, we don’t have to build and maintain a huge and expansive network infrastructure. So we’ll just earn money from advertisement, but it will not be specific for you, because we want your data to be yours, and we will accept to advertise only local products.\r\n### How do you build a decentralized ecommerce?\r\nEvery city (or village) will have a Nile instance, the Nile instance is needed to group all the stores of your city so you can view them in a showcase like Amazon’s. All the Nile instances will talk to each other, so when you search for a product and it’s not near to you (it means it’s not in the instance of your city), you will find it anyway.\r\nStores will also contribute to the platform: every store will host its part of the system: when you buy a product, the computational cost of the operation is processed by the store. The store will have different ways to connect to the local Nile instance, if a store doesn’t handle lots of requests then it just need a browser to be part of the network. If the store needs to handle thousands of requests per seconds then a more powerful architecture is needed but we will help configuring it.\r\n### What about the delivery?\r\nNile comes with a delivery service that works like Deliveroo: a network of cyclist that cover the local area. An algorithm calculates the best and cheapest route to deliver your goods.\r\nAlso the delivery service will be commission-free, when a good is delivered, the money for the delivery goes directly to the cyclists involved.\r\nWhen you buy something from far away a cyclist can’t do the job, so the app will suggest the cheapest delivery method from a third party delivery service.\r\n\r\n\r\n## Relevant Technology\r\nI'm open to discuss about which language or protocol fit best this idea\r\n\r\n## Who is this for\r\nThe project is very ambitious so everyone is welcome, of course experienced developers are needed to build the decentralized architecture\r\n\r\n## Complexity and required time\r\n\r\nNile is an ambitious project, from a programming point of view, building a decentralized system is something difficult, there are a lot of concept involved. But a first version of Nile, without the complete decentralization implemented could be ready in just 3 months. Later, for the next 9 months, we could decentralized every piece of Nile while it is already online.\r\nSo in total we need 1 year to launch Nile.\r\n\r\n### Complexity\r\n\r\n- `[ ]` Beginner - This project requires no or little prior knowledge of the technolog(y|ies) specified to contribute to the project\r\n- `[ ]` Intermediate - The user should have some prior knowledge of the technolog(y|ies) to the point where they know how to use it, but not necessarily all the nooks and crannies of the technology\r\n- `[x]` Advanced - The project requires the user to have a good understanding of all components of the project to contribute\r\n\r\n### Required time (ETA)\r\n\r\n- `[ ]` Little work - A couple of days\r\n- `[ ]` Medium work - A week or two\r\n- `[x]` Much work - The project will take more than a couple of weeks and serious planning is required\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nShare on Twitter/other social media if you will.
