We are building new Nomination scenarios for beginners and then for advanced strategies. This presentation describes the problem and a proposed solution: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14etktaIFTQBLNqW684qUj-6hhH59-GBJR-827WGDbBg/edit?usp=sharing.

This is the spec for the first two milestones: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Eh-QtleAVe38IPb-tfjgv8Rlu4ANCrJld_SMMoyIxAQ/edit?usp=sharing.

The first Treasury Proposal (#19) is for Milestone 1, which is completed and reviewed by Jaco with plenty of feedback. We already fixed some of the issues raised, and plan to fix the remainder mostly during the Milestone 2. The resulting solution (upon Milestone 2) will be working as a stand alone solution. Our initial plan to integrate this solution with Apps UI has changed, as discussed in the Riot channel. While Milestones 1 and 2 are not to be changed by this pivot, further long term vision is, so we are designing a new architecture, oriented towards the specific user groups ("grandma"), and enabling integration by wallets. 
This proposal was first presented in the Kusama Direction Riot Channel on April 10, receiving a soft approval from a number of Council Members.

KSM Simple Nomination Treasury Proposal

Untitled - treasury proposal #17

Untitled - treasury proposal #16

Polkadot and Kusama are innovative projects with exciting ambitions. As it stands the ecosystem is extremely friendly to developers, and on a technical basis alone will be of interest to many end-users of cryptocurrency.

However, end-users of cryptocurrency typically have vastly different technical abilities to developers, and this is often a large barrier to entry standing between many projects and mainstream adoption/awareness. A typical end-user will struggle with the basic installation and operation of wallet software, and will not practice the basic security principles involved in properly securing private keys. As technical developers working in the blockchain sphere we often take for granted our own knowledge base, and lose awareness of the gap between providing the best technology, and making that technology accessible to the mainstream. Developer engagement is a critically important tenant of a crypto ecosystem, but it is equally essential we provide as many straightforward and simple on-ramps as possible to allow non-technical end-users to also participate.

LocalCoinSwap’s mission is to bridge the gap between technology and accessibility, by providing a trivially simple ebay-like system in which end users can purchase cryptocurrency directly from each other. We use decentralized technology such as non-custodial wallets and multi-sig transactions or smart-contract based escrow to protect traders from fraud or hacking, but as much as possible we abstract the need to understand the underlying technology from the non-technical end-user. Because of this, we have been especially successful in driving adoption in developing regions of the world who have limited access to traditional exchanges, and rely on other non-standard methods to enter the cryptocurrency ecosystem such as cash purchases, SMS-based payment systems, and gift-card trading. Although the UK and Australian markets constitute the majority of our volume, we are seeing large upticks across Latin America and Africa.

As part of this proposal, LocalCoinSwap will provide a platform where users can buy and sell KSM, and in the future DOT, for any local fiat currency - in every region of the world. To do this, we will extend our P2P cryptocurrency exchange (localcoinswap.com) to support non-custodial wallets and trading for these assets. Given the non-custodial nature of this implementation, there will be no platform risk with only users having access to their own private keys, no political risk as we cannot seize users funds, and a high level of anonymity for users entering and exiting the Kusama and Polkadot ecosystems.

As a project focused on creating low barriers to entry for flexible, autonomous economies, we strongly believe that a decentralized fiat on-ramp is essential for the adoption of Polkadot. Without this, users will likely have to transact through other cryptocurrencies in order to own and use KSM/DOT. As aforementioned, the non-technical end user typically finds the need to purchase intermediate cryptocurrencies an insurmountable barrier.

Upon successful completion we will provide a platform for anyone to buy or sell KSM in a secure and user-friendly manner, without any high-level technical skills. In addition, we will provide the opportunity for users to create vendor businesses in order to make money through providing liquidity, and buying and selling KSM.

We are interested in building this project as we are excited about creating mainstream accessibility to the next generation of blockchain applications.

- Polkadot and Kusama are innovative projects in the cryptocurrency world.
- However, many people struggle with the technical aspects of using cryptocurrency, which makes it hard for them to participate.
- LocalCoinSwap is a platform that makes it easy for people to buy and sell cryptocurrency without needing to understand the technical details.
- They want to extend their platform to support Kusama and Polkadot, which will make it easier for people to access these projects.
- This will help to create mainstream accessibility to the next generation of blockchain applications.

On chain treasury proposal - Non-custodial P2P trading for KSM

Hello everyone! My name is Jorge Ruiz, I lead the Air Protocol team. We want to share with you our proposal for the creation of localKSM.

LocalKSM is will be an implementation of the Air Protocol to create a P2P exchange focused on KSM tokens. The project will consist of an app for iOS and Android that enables users anywhere to list proposals for selling or buying KSM at a rate they specify and with a payment method of their choice.

Our team has worked on developing a protocol for the creation of decentralized p2p markets and on/off ramps. The protocol itself is blockchain agnostic and we want to develop and implementation to support KSM as well as release the apps. This implementation would also be able to support DOTs in the future, as long as the MultiSig implementations are rollout onto polkadot.

I previously co-founded airtm(dot)com a platform for digital p2p dollars. Through it we enabled hundreds of thousands of users in LatAm to receive remittances and save their money in a stable currency. I left Airtm to create the Air Protocol, which is the result of my experience there. It is clear to us the great reach p2p have and we believe it is an essential step to further the ability of people to have access to better services and join the coming digital economy.

We would love to hear feedback from the community, both to see if anyone has put effort towards something like this before? And also to understand if there is interest on this implementation and applications.  I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Our team is very enthusiastic about Polkadot and Kusama (and in general substrate). We are planning on developing the second phase of our project with the use of substrate. As part of extending the capabilities of the Air Protocol we will be developing the Air Protocol chain which will serve as a stateful layer for our system, our intention is creating that chain as a Parachain on polkadot.

This Treasury Proposal was to fund the Society account with 1000 KSM

The significant majority of funds in the Society account are used to pay for bids from new bidders - previously the only balance in the society was there due to donations. 

With 1000 KSM, a bid of up to that much may be accepted by the society, increasing the potential draw of bidding to join the society. If membership increases, society members can plausibly make a strong marketing force for Kusama as a whole.
