经过AIWeb3 的Twitter Space讨论和社区反馈意见，AIWeb3社区决定反对该提案。以下是社区的主要意见：

团队没有很好的回复关于和另外一个提案重复申请经费的问题
团队并未联系或者参加AIWeb3的推特space，所以对于团队的可信度有一些怀疑

AIWeb3 Community Feedback on Proposal
After discussions on AIWeb3's Twitter Space and feedback from the community, the AIWeb3 community has decided to NAY the proposal. Below are the main points from the community:

The team did not adequately respond to concerns about duplicate funding requests related to another proposal. 
Additionally, the team has not contacted or participated in the AIWeb3 Twitter Space, raising some doubts about their credibility.

Community Activity Information
We hold discussions on Kusama proposals every Tuesday at 10 AM Beijing Time on AIWeb3 Twitter Space. Everyone is welcome to join these discussions. Additionally, you are encouraged to join our Telegram group to ask any questions. If we support any proposal, the AIWeb3 community will also provide services and collaboration for building the Chinese community, and we are willing to help project teams establish a Chinese community, hoping for more successful projects in the Polkadot ecosystem.

If your proposal is rejected, don't be discouraged. We welcome proposers to join our Twitter Space to share the highlights of their proposals. There are also many other Kusama DV who might support your proposal.

I post this comment in Subsquare because Polkassembly is not working:

After reading the proposal, the comments and responses given by the team, and a explanation about expenditures I do not see any duplication of costs and as a DV I have decided at this time to approve the retroactive funding proposal as it is a common good chain.

I consider could be necessary to create a bounty to review this kind of proposal related with common good chains. The bounty that determines the need for the expenses to be incurred, pre-approves the expenses and establishes the guidelines for retroactive funding of Common Good Chains and in turn evaluates the viability of this type of CG Chains.



Encointer requests retroactive funding for its expenses in Jan-Jun 2024

The amount of the proposed spend is CHF 77’500 ≃ 87’188 USD  ≃ **3’904 KSM** for 6mt operations

* [Full Proposal Document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Glc3qCsL-U05V776f_6sAM7ZTFnuurgwHl_XVdjvSV8/edit?usp=sharing)

Encointer is a common-good chain on Kusama laying the foundation of a more democratic and more inclusive web3. Its secure and decentralized sybil-resilience protocol enables local communities everywhere to generate their own, autonomous local currency, and use it to stimulate the local economy.

Main achievements in 2024 so far
* Community development and continued growth of Nyota in Tanzania
* Adoption of Encointer faucet
* Prototype for democratic community governance (vote weight based on personhood confidence, not funds)
* Decentralization of infrastructure

Also, some insights and learnings from 2 years Leu Zuerich community: [brenzi's EthereumZuri.ch presentation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsBuoiAszHE)


- Encointer is asking for money to cover its costs from January to June 2024.
- They need about 3,904 KSM (a type of digital money) for 6 months of work.
- Encointer helps communities create their own local money to help their economy.
- In 2024, they helped a community in Tanzania grow and made a new way for people to vote in their system.
- They also made their system more spread out and not controlled by just one place.
- They shared what they learned from working with a community in Zurich for 2 years.
