🌱 MyZubster Community is Growing Fast – 20 New Free Issues for Contributors

From a solo project to a thriving open‑source ecosystem β€” and we're just getting started.
🧭 The Journey So Far

A few weeks ago, MyZubster was a solo project with a broken gateway, an offline marketplace, and a lot of potential.

Today, it's a growing ecosystem with:

🌍 8+ active repositories under the MyZubster-Ecosystem organization

πŸ’° Multiple bounties paid in Monero (XMR) – over 0.30 XMR already distributed

🀝 Contributors from around the world – Aming9303, SpaleRuby, nexicturbo, and more

πŸš€ Features being built in real time β€” escrow, AI agents, multisig wallets, and more

πŸ†• 20 new free issues for anyone who wants to contribute

πŸ› οΈ What We're Building Now

The most exciting part is what comes next.

  1. Multisig Escrow with AI (bounty: 0.10 XMR)
    A 2‑of‑3 multisig wallet where an AI agent acts as the third signer β€” fully automated, trustless, and private.

  2. AI Agent for Dispute Resolution (bounty: 0.15 XMR)
    The AI agent will verify work completion and sign fund releases β€” no human arbitrator needed.

  3. Global Plant & Animal Map (free issues)
    We're building a participatory map where users can register plants and animals, verified by the community.

  4. Mobile App (in progress)
    The Android client is being built by the community, with more features coming every week.

🌟 A Final Thought

"I don't want to operate with banks and similar projects anymore. I want to finish developing my platform and start repopulating what we already have in MyZubster, which is now empty."

This is my promise.
And the community is helping me keep it.

If you believe that a better world is possible β€” welcome aboard. 🌱
