<!channel> I have a *small ask* for help! :ring_buoy: (for all you folks with email notifications turned on, hopefully I am using this power responsibly 😊)
We would like to *start livestreaming* the guest speaker presentations (and maybe even the pitches) for those who can't attend! 🎉
BUT we *need 50 followers on our YouTube channel* in order to do that! (25 more than we have) :pray:🏻
*How can you help?* Just visit: https://www.youtube.com/@g0v.network554 and *click "Subscribe".* Bonus: repeat this for any YouTube/Google accounts you can easily switch to using.

We talked about Nheengatu app ( a indigenous language in Brazil)
Other cool projects in Brazil: Pegabot, Mudamos, Serenata de Amor
Grateful to @zf for handling all the background audio-visual grunt-work recently! (livestream, setting up presentation, dictating pitches on slide, etc)
Also, it was really heartwarming for @claudiahleung to pitch the #london-proj-immigration-vis project that @jane.cy.ling initiated! It feels really healthy (for not just the project, but the whole event) to be learning how to load-balance a new project like this, and keeping a heartbeat for it 💓
Thanks @claudiahleung for stepping in! Sorry I couldn't make it this week but it's really nice to hear that we’re building up momentum 🌸

@amir1jab would you like share some good introductory on smart contract use cases in civic tech?

Omg such a neat pub! Good find, Ruth!
*Kleros*
Kleros is an open-source, decentralized court. It's a community of people that promise to resolve disputes using a jury system. They use smart contracts and game theory to devise a system that incentivises the jury to act honestly.
*ConstitutionDAO*
This was a group of people that used a smart contract to raise funds for a collective goal. They raised $47m in an attempt to buy a copy of the US constitution. Their bid was rejected for legal reasons and they refunded all the donations. More detail here
*PoolTogether*
PoolTogether is a decentralised lottery game. It sounds trivial but its actually quite a simple and interesting example. It allows anyone to spin up a lottery that runs automatically without needing a centralised party to handle and distribute the funds.
*TornadoCash*
TornadoCash is a smart contract that lets you send cryptocurrencies in an opaque manner which makes it difficult to trace the source of funds. It's like a vault that can be used to launder money or just a tool to preserve privacy. The US government banned this smart contract and arrested one of the open source developers. (although it still exists as you can't remove smart contracts from the blockchain)
Let me know if this was interesting/helpful/if you want me to elaborate further 🙂
