Hi Richard,its great that people with a lot of experience in financial markets take interest in these topics. I don't think you will receive the best answers here. The Bitcointalk Altcoin section is currently the best place for such announcements. I believe there is room for a better board/list for new 2.0 projects. Bitcoin dev is not very welcoming to discussions/debates/projects which go beyond digital cash systems (assets, markets, etc.), as it is very focused on the core problems which are under-funded.Anyone who wants to build a better venue for 2.0 projects feel free to contact me. This could be a mailing list or an upgraded message board. Most such boards are project/currency specific, but there is one missing for announcements.In terms of markets on top of blockchains, I have sent a private email.Regards,BenjaminOn Wed, Sep 30, 2015 at 3:17 PM, Richard Olsen via bitcoin-dev <bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org> wrote:Lykke Corp based in Zürich funds the competition.2 Mio Lykke coins (8'000 USD) is allocated to funding core development in next 3 months,RichardWho is funding this?

We are looking for participants in a Bitcoin related competition: the aim is to build a trading platform (initially for foreign exchange, other assets will follow) which lets participants settle their trades through the blockchain via coloured coins. To facilitate a quicker trade reconciliation, the use of a sidechain is a suggestion but by no means a requirement. There will be an online briefing event today where we will outline the requirements in more detail, though much of it we have posted on our website www.lykkex.com .
As we want this to be a community driven effort rather than something turning into a proprietary technology, all contributions will be made available under a MIT license on Github.
I look forward to answering your questions at the online briefing event or over email,
Thank you and kind regards,Richard Olsen
