xGov-156 - Open Source ARC53 Tooling

June 17, 2024 @krby.algo might be me, but can’t seem to find ARC53 in the github repo (unless the branch name is something totally different). Do you have a direct link to the ARC?

xGov#200 - Biatec Identity

May 7, 2024 I think any business (on Algorand or not) would be wise to outsource KYC to a large trusted party and not be anywhere near any personal data if you don’t have to. Personally I wouldn’t start any business that offers things like KYC in-house if you can outsource. As it’s just a mess to deal with re…

xGov-184: Algorand Scam Detector & RWA tokenization insights on Algorand

May 5, 2024 Hi Rich,
Thanks for the reply and reviewing the proposal.
The amount requested is in the top side table, on the right. It’s 28k ALGO. To be honest, the work that was done is far beyond the ALGO request. We kept it very low to increase the chances of passing it and at least have some operational su…

xGov 188: PiPhi Network Submission

May 2, 2024 What do you mean with the tiering set-up in your proposal? xGov work as all or nothing. So you either get all requested ALGO’s or you don’t get anything. As many said before, I’d also advise to split up this proposal in smaller ones. The requested amount for both Tier 1 or Tier 2 requires you to ge…

xGov-210 - Lotto Race Advertising on Vestige - RETROACTIVE

May 2, 2024 Another note - the window for submitting proposals for xGov period 4 is already closed. As we’re currently in the feedback phase.
There’s quite a vibrant Algorand community on X/Twitter. Perhaps you might want to try that first, by being active on there. Which can help driving new users to LottoRac…

Sandbox vs Third Party APIs

April 1, 2024 Well the sandbox is an environment that you can control and use in your favour to battle test whatever you’re developing. You can destroy the sandbox state every time and re-run whatever you want to do before deploying it on testnet (where every change continues to live on). Plus it should come pack…

Sandbox vs Third Party APIs

April 1, 2024 Yep - but it depends a bit on your use case. A sandbox might still be the preferred way to go if you’re developing a smart contract though. But for a lot of other use-cases or just trying out some things, the public testnet is actually just as fine and saves some hassle.
You can use an explorer like…

Sandbox vs Third Party APIs

April 1, 2024 If you just need access to Algorand Testnet and not specifically running your own local testnet node, I’d use the free API from Nodely.io: QuickStart | Nodely
Both their free Testnet and Mainnet APIs are amazing and many small dApps in the ecosystem rely on them (until they outgrow in terms of t…

xGov 181: Research on Algorand Voting Technologies

April 1, 2024 Yep - but probably also worth it to include why so many countries / US are still being stuck with paper voting. It’s not necessarily a tech issue, more a trust issue in the tech systems (just my assumption). So can blockchain [Algorand] overcome that particular part of trust (to prevent fraud fully…

xGov 181: Research on Algorand Voting Technologies

March 31, 2024 Could be an interesting thought piece. Just some questions: How do you already know it will cover at least 75 sources? Assuming those are papers and vetted articles, I’d rather go for quality over quantity. Would be a shame if you start gathering a lot of low-value sources just to get to that num…

[Wallet Council][Breakout group][Transaction scam prevention]

March 15, 2024 Great initiative. Very happy to see that this is on the agenda of the Wallet council.
To paint a picture, this is the problem we’re facing (last 7 days). The scams come in waves, some days a lot. Some days barely anything:

And here the most popular (scam related) domains:

In m…

How many relay nodes are running Algo

March 15, 2024 There are 103 archival nodes at the moment. You can check the full up-to-date list including locations across the world here: https://chaintrail.io/network/decentralization.
What you’re describing is kind of the path forward, as the use of relay nodes will change massively during this year. Describ…

Official wallets

March 11, 2024 Yes, you can find them here: Account Addresses | Algorand Foundation

xGov Platform Evolution

February 26, 2024 Point 1: that would be being a good xGovernor following the code of conduct. If not, then breaking it with potential consequences. The fact that blockchain is materially anonymous thereby difficult to 100% enforce it, shouldn’t prevent us to strive to better/more inclusive.
Point 2: yep, clearly a …

xGov Platform Evolution

February 26, 2024 Depends on the overall stance on the governance program by the community (and the future of it). In my opinion self-voting is a form of conflict of interest, therefore unethical. You basically put your own personal or financial interest above everything else. That’s not democratic and may be even h…

xGov Platform Evolution

February 24, 2024 Initially posted my thoughts on the Discord channel. So just posting it here as well.
Thanks @Loedn for kicking this off and inviting the community for feedback.
See many great things already discussed and some of them are also in the one below, so see it as an endorsement of the idea 😊

xGov Platform Evolution

February 23, 2024 Agreed.
If a dev is risk averse but still has a good idea and wants to minimize those risks. She/he should keep her day job and work on it on the side. That’s how you normally build a business. Validate what you create, try to turn a bit of profit and then choose to get outside funding if you thin…

Ideas to improve the existing funding applications template?

February 12, 2024 Just my 2 cents as a builder and xGov proposer.
Besides the points described above, I think it would be a good improvement to update the ARC to at least cover: No self-voting/double participation.
Not saying it happens or not happens. But in general, I think the ARC should rule out double participa…
