TLDR: Jenks gave us clear requirements for completing this grant. Dawn hints that we go the Bacalhau route. Ally offered to meet for 15 minutes to chat on how to implement Bacalhau. I asked about FVM and if we can figure out how or why to use it, that’s an option for funding. Otherwise we may need to go Open Grant. Ali and Alex are joining the team as our new Developer Interns. Ali has ideas about tokenomics, marketing, and business time. Alex owns a paperback copy of The Hackathon Survival Guide. The UBI and Coordinape were failures. #buildinpublic
