Impossible Futures Challenge: One Week Left!
Hey everyone, happy Friday! Just a quick reminder that we’re now entering the final week of the Impossible Future Challenge
$100K USDC up for grabs 1,500,000 ANT up for grabs 35+ applications already in — let’s keep the momentum going!
If you haven’t already submitted, now’s the time to get involved. Check out this video for a quick recap and some inspiration
Merch update!
The first batch is shipping out next week, so keep an eye on your mailbox
Let’s finish this challenge strong looking forward to diving into the next phase with all of you!
One app I’d like to see is some sort of “Capture and archive” -app, with which you could save a site, or part of it, into the Autonomi network.
I don’t have competence to do it myself, but I think it might find some users. Some people willing to store what they have seen, some archiving their own sites…
Screenshots would have an appeal of being small, cheap and fun maybe.
But then again, if it could be a “real” capture like Internet Archive is doing, there would be a possibility to create a standard, which could lead to a better use of the deduplication feature of the network. Anyone doing the same capture than someone before would get it for free. Screencaps would always be slightly different, and would need to be paid for.
I this way, the first app to create a good protocol for capture would have a decent chance to get a dominant position, as it would be cheaper for the end user in the case of the most popular pages. It’s quite likely that someone else has already captured it.
Also, there could form communities around various themes for capturing, and even a race to be the first one to scout a new site / post / publication… When being first, you would need to pay, but you could get fame in return.
Like, the first copy of this forum to the Autonomi network… who’s name it’s going to carry?
Like in the USA, isn’t there a lot of libraries in the name of some rich benefactors?
Does ‘backing’ actually give funds you’re locking to the projects, and it’s then refunded from a different pot in 12 months time, or is it just a ‘vote by locking’ tokens that doesn’t directly support those you’re ‘backing’?
The voting is phase 1 and backing/locking is phase 2
Separate things happen.
Phase 1 you vote with ANT and lose your ANT if project does not succeed and get 1 ANT per vote if project is one of the 12. No mention of locking ANT for this phase
Phase 2 you back one or more of the 12 projects and if project goes live before the set date then you get a share of the 1.5 million ANT. ALL backers get their ANT they locked back. Locking if for 12 months
