That's super ridiculous. You wouldn't want to use a decentralized social platform in a production environment that's only got 5 weeks of development work in it.

As an aside, do the submissions have to use the Blockchain? There are already a ton of good decentralized social platforms that make no use of a blockchain whatsoever, and the majority of them inter-federate with one another.

Sorry if it wasn't clear that it was a joke.

A lot of these ICOs want developers to invest their money AND build the product for free.

I agree, there are a lot of good non-blockchain solutions to this... like most ICOs
