Karma: 280
Hey Matt,
welcome to the EA Forum. :)
Your personal guidelines translate well into our community guidelines here in the forum. No worries on that front.
If you want any guidance on where to find more information or where to start, feel free to ask or write me a personal message.
I was browsing your website/blog and found a missing page:
https://www.creatingafuturewewant.com/praxes/democratizingeffectiveness
→ https://prezi.com/vsrfc7ztmkvn/democratizing-effectiveness/?present=1
The presentation is offline atm. I hope this helps. :D
A suggestion for your work as lead head deputy associate administrator and facilitator could be to visit this website:
https://www.non-trivial.org/
Non-Trivial sponsors fellowships for student projects, which is something you could do in the future, but more importantly for now maybe take a look at their course:
https://course.non-trivial.org/“How to (actually) change the world” could be interesting.
With kind regards
Felix
Hey Silas,

What is the line: Karma or Agreement?
Hey Manuel,
thanks for pointing this out.
Your first post passed the scrutiny. Congratulations. ;-)
I suggest adding a link to the Amazon page with the book. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/-/en/dp/019765570X/ or better inside your text like this.
You are welcome.
Hey Nathan,
thank you for the ranking list. :)
I don’t think you need to start with zero karma again. The karma system is not supposed to mean very much. It is heavily favoured in certain aspects than a true representation of your skill or trustworthiness as a user on this forum. It is more or less a xp bar for social situations and is an indicator that someone posts good content here.
Let’s look at an example:
Aaron Gertler retired from the forum, someone who is in high regard, which got a lot of attention and sympathy. Many people were interested in the post, and it’s an easy topic to participate. So many were scrolling down to the comments to write something nice and thanking him for his work.
JP Addison did so too. He works for CEA and as a developer for the forum. His comment got more Karma than any post he made so far.
Karma is used in many places with different concepts behind it. The sum of it gives you no clear information. What I would think in your case: you are an active member of the forum, participate positively with only one post with negative karma. You participated in the FTX crisis discussion, which was an opportunity to gain or lose significant amounts of karma, but you survived it, probably with a good score.
Internetpoints can make you feel fantastic, they are a system to motivate for social interaction and to follow the community norms (in positive and negative ways).
Your modesty suits you well, but there is no need to. Stand upwards. There will always be those with few points but really good content, and those who overshoot the gems by far with activity.
How would you implement such a system? How could the system know if something is worth their karma points and something else is underrated?
Suggestion: make the wrap up easily shareable. Download as a .jpg for example.
I had to make a screenshot on my phone which did not captured everything.
I really enjoy this feature. :)
Hey Francis,
welcome to the EA Forum. :)
Hi Andie,
welcome to the EA Forum. Maybe add a bio, so everyone can see what interests you have.
Is there a specific cause area which you find the most interesting?
Have a nice day. :)
Hi Simon,
your playlist starts with video no. 3, 2, 1 and ends with 4. Is this the intended order?
The following documents are missing on your Google Drive:
Verification of educational institutions Kenya:

Risk Assessment Report—Kenya
https://directed.notion.site/Risk-Assessment-Report-Kenya-aae33491da424b14a45e295b3b91df09
I have moral and safety concerns regarding your project and especially the Cardano blockchain. In your risk assessment report, you did not acknowledge the risks of proof of stake blockchain and NFTs.
I like the progress update and github page where you list your goals and if you reached them.
In your funding proposal F6, you stated this timeline:
“Phase 3: August 2022 - October 2022 (12 months)Completion of both the donor side dApp and recipient mechanism for receiving funds.
First pilot testing in high schools and universities in Ethiopia. 30 students registered on the platform.
Finalized research proposal submitted for large grant application to properly fund the project.
Initiate meetings with larger organisations such as the World Bank, UNHCR or the Red Cross who might be interested in the technology for related uses.”
https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/369558
Do you have a page where you have the track record based on the timelines you stated?
For someone reading the forum, here two articles on Cardano in the African educational system.

Hello Ander,

Looking forward to your first post!

Hey Dan, welcome to the forum. :)
Yesterday I hold my first Giving Game for the local EA group and some students and I was thinking about going into the schools with such an intervention.
I will write you a PN regarding this.
Have a nice day and hope to see you in the comments on some other posts here too. ;)
Hello Michael, welcome to EA and the forum. :)
Thank you for the teaser of your post coming next week, I am currious about your theory of change and how you plan to outperform existing high impact charities.
If you want me to read your post beforehand for a short feedback I can help you.
Greetings
Felix
PS: nice to hear you participate in the fellowship, have fun in the discussions. :) I am currently doing a longtermism fellowship organized by EA Munich from Germany.
Hey Miguel,
welcome to the Forum. I am curious, in which projects were you involved so far? Always happy to learn about interesting stuff EAs do.
And one question regarding your YouTube channel, do you have the copyright permission for posting the content of other creators?
Thank you, and also a wonderful day. :)
Hello Dominion,
welcome to EA and the EA forum! :)
I organized Clean-Ups, study forestry and was into foodsharing (>400k people in Germany which work against food waste), so I really like your cause areas. :D
I would really like to see some of your work, can you please show us some or send me a personal message?
If you need help with navigation, feel free to ask me and I will try to help out. I did not look into the EA for Christians topic in the past, but here is what I found, which could be helpful:

”I don’t know how I can contribute”—read more about EA, join a fellowship and meetup with the local EA group. Find out what’s your cause area could be and connect with others on an EAGX (after the intro fellowship).
You can join existing projects, create your own, or just do earning to give and be part of the community. It is very nice to see you here. For starters, maybe add a bio to your forum profile, so others can see what you are interested in. :)
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about EA or want to discuss a certain topic.
With kind regards
