RE: What Is The Agoric Challenge?

in #agoric-challenge7 years ago (edited)

The cards and design are beautiful, nice work. I am trying to understand the concept for consideration.

So, if I understand this correctly the Scrips are basically business cards with an address.

Is the idea to gather donations from the community to fund new account creation using your portal? The scrips would be distributed by our global community for market penetration?

The donated funds would go to account creation and if a specific goal is met there will be prizes, fun, and adventures?

$25k is still a decent amount to ask for in crowdfunding, and not everyone that has been funded has stuck around.

Since there are others here who like me, might not know any of the individuals involved, will you be putting together or did a miss a post that outlines who these people are and their previous experience?

Also is there a witness post that describes experience, equipment, goals? (Edited to add, I found the witness post)

Beautiful post and design and interesting sounding idea. I just wasn't sure I understood it.

Have a great time at Steemfest2, and I look forward to hearing more about this project.

Hey, @whatsup. The scrip have unique codes on them that can be used to register a Steem account using our faucet at https://portal.agoric.co.

For this first round we are looking to raise funds to cover the costs of registering 3333 Steem accounts using our faucet (without delegation). In the future, we are considering turning this into a managed service that will allow anyone to fund their own scrips; we will handle the logistics of printing them and mailing them to individuals or groups that wish to utilize them in their own initiatives.

We will also likely utilize delegation in the future, however considering that these invite slips are going to be given to people physically in person, we also think it is a nice gesture to give them about $5 worth of STEEM when they create their account, as a method of further distributing STEEM stake.

Good poignant questions, the hard ones! This is what we fish for so we can answer them! So thanks for prodding at us, @whatsup.

I'm poking at you right now on Discord voice chat to see if I can help answer any of your questions.
