The Project Name is called "perspective", in Tamil (google it) it also means forward thinking.

Perspective

The Project Name is called "perspective", in Tamil (google it) it also means forward thinking.

Why?

Take the keywords coming out of Crypto and can you see the folllowing words "Inclusive design", "micro-credit", "poverty", "climate-change". The Decentrilization movement should be more more inclusive, there are different view points when you build a complex system, and perspective is one of them.

What has Starfish has to do something with this?

Starfish Mission is a pioneering hub for the blockchain community - founded by the Starfish Network. Starfish Network is dedicated to creating spaces and learning opportunities for the community which inspires the Starfish team.

A short story

<< Ann Marie>> and Starfish team created this amazing project which includes audio visual mechanism for adding an artisitic element to understand blockchain. Ann has wisely created anIntenet Pixel TV, which we call as "StarBoard". Starboard has the following components. a 4x5 pixels StarBoard

              | .  .  .  .  |
              | .  .  .  .  |
              | .  .  .  .  |
              | .  .  .  .  |
              | .  .  .  .  |

Now Imagine that you can light these individual pixels with messages from People who have donated their crypto to their favorite charity. For e.g let's say Masha donates to her fav charity "black girls who code" and she donates for her favoriate niece in the whole wide world "To Sasha-from Ant" [15 chars), the message can be displayed on the Starboard which each pixel represent a character.

Proposal

I propose that Starboard get's live-streamed for a fixed amount time, so when in this case Masha donates to her fav neice Sasha for her coding class she can see the Starboard light up. This is just the begining now let us all use our imagination.

How can you help?

Coding and Devops help is needed, but all are welcome to participate.

perspective's Issues

Document everything. Start with :

Installs and the issue faced

Why does the user make the donation through us?

Is the ability to display a message on a board enough to incentivize people to use this system to donate? Would this limit our userbase to people who come to Starfish? Would it be better to have a twitterbot?

Add StarFish Mission and Vision

We need to add Why we are doing this Project at Starfish at readme.md

How do we keep track of the non-profits?

Deepak asked me to put on my critical thinking hat and ask as many questions about the project as I can. He also asked that I make each question/concern/suggestion a separate issue on github. So here goes.

How do we keep track of and verify a non-profit? One option is to store non-profit addresses on-chain for users to see. That has two downsides: we need an update mechanism when a non-profit changes their address, and it doesn't allow for users to donate to non-profits off the blockchain. Another option is to store non-profit addresses off-chain. This requires users to trust us, which is a touch out of line with the whole "trustless" idea of blockchain.

How easy will this be to use?

How does the user make the donation? Will we have a website? Do they need to run their own node?
