News from the stage event (last Tuesday Scot TIme)
Heya @everyone, as most of you know during yesterday stage, we got to hear from the first 3 Autonomi Builders, @Siki, @jamsplayer and @Thunderboltkid . For those who weren’t able to make it here is a summary:
Cosmos
What is Cosmos?
Cosmos is a super app that enables people to easily and securely acquire properties to rent and buy. They also would like to build a micro ecommerce function for those who want to sell goods (an old tv for example). Cosmos want to build a decentralized, independent app, so we can’t be restricted or controlled by a single individual or organization. An app, that’s free from any form of corporate or government interference
Why build on Autonomi?
“We wanted to build on something like Solana but discovered that Solana, Eth, IPFS etc aren’t truly decentralized. We needed a truly decentralized solution that is localized and scalable as well as transaction free. We had a previous project that died off due to gas fees being too high, Africa works different to most other places in the world and cost to participate is a big factor.”
CloudProx TurboDataSafe
What is CloudProx TurboDataSafe
Cloudprox is a mini version of what is already in use in the big data centers. A really fast storage device (actually piece of software installed on linux) that allows you to store you own data locally and automatically starts running nodes/and storing data on Autonomi. Part of the user interface is browser based which you can aim at a select set of hardware or a really small storage system eg. raspberry pie 5. It also comes with a mini pop up store for retail services and/or products. An example of a use is to store a video locally as well as simultaneously on Autonomi so if something happens to the local copy it is easy to retrieve.
What’s the future vision, the dream for CloudProx TurboDataSafe?
“We want to make this available in a form that others can use to support other people and make projects easily accessible.”
JAMS
What are you working on right now, what is the MVP of JAMS and what’s next?
MVP is going to be basic as you would expect (MVP and all that) - think early 2000s iTunes player. Shortly after being able to follow people, will implement artist discovery. Artists will be paid directly, no skimming off the top, you can listen for free but subscription money would go 100% to the artist.
What’s the future vision, the dream for JAMS?
Main goal is for artists to be paid fairly so they don’t have to worry about anything other than creation, everything else is taken care off as well as the creation a suite of tools. We were also looking at JAMStand, for artists to connect with fans and to help with royalty splits, copyrights etc (now looking at partner integrations as well here). Ultimately we want to put everything is in the hands of the artist.
Any corrections, questions or thoughts on the above can be made in their brand new channels in the “Autonomi Builders” section of the discord. Go say hi to them
