 parker_williams | unfortunately it seems like a decent amount of the more popular funds are not currently open for business but there are also plenty of new opportunities | 18:39:11 |
 joshafairhead | Yeah, I've noticed that there isn't much open at the min but since they are pooping up its good to have them tracked :) | 18:40:09 |

| paslar | Greetings everyone!
Hope you all have had a great New Year so far!
As some of you might be aware, we are working on a project called Ether Bank which provides zero-interest loans by accepting ETH as collateral and issuing stablecoins called Ether Dollar.
Here's the github repository for those who are interested in giving a look at what we've been up to:
https://github.com/ideal-money/etherbank
We have also presented our project in a couple of social coding meetings and have had a milestone on social coding campaign to create our command line client.
That milestone is done and our client is finalized now, thanks to Giveth and Unicorn DAC.
Ether Bank is a non-for-profit, open source project and it is most beneficial to Ethereum community because of its zero-cost for providing loans, so we think it eligible to receive grants for its further growth.
Yalor advises us this is the best place to get help applying for grants. Specially cause parker_williams is here.

| parker_williams | paslar: thanks for reaching out and providing that info! the project sounds awesome | 14:19:31 |
| parker_williams | I would be happy to work with you to get some applications in | 14:19:38 |
| parker_williams | will send you a private message and we can discuss further | 14:19:49 |

| parker_williams changed the room name to "GrantOps" from "Grant Support Campaign". | 14:08:19 |

| parker_williams | @room I am excited to make a couple of announcements! | 02:20:31 |
| parker_williams | First as you may have noticed, the name has been changed from Grants Support Campaign to GrantOps | 02:20:51 |
| parker_williams | after Griff rightly pointed out that Grant Support Campaign had the same acronym as Giveth Social Coding, Yalor came up with a new name for us, GrantOps | 02:21:38 |
| parker_williams | we submitted a couple proposals looking for funding for this initiative to be able to expand the support provided to a wider audience and include more means of support and GrantOps was the name we used | 02:22:28 |
| parker_williams | I've been delayed updating the campaign page on giveth and the room to this name but wanted to just provide some background | 02:22:44 |
| parker_williams | GrantOps is still an available campaign on the Giveth DApp and is running completely off of donations but since the DApp is in beta testing I wanted to find another place to seek donations more publicly | 02:24:12 |
| parker_williams | so with great thanks to the team at Gitcoin, GrantOps is now an available subscription option on the new gitcoin grants platform | 02:24:47 |
| parker_williams | so if you would consider donating to allow the support we provide to continue, please do visit our subscription page there | 02:25:35 |

| @liamz:matrix.org | Hey @room - I'm looking for some help with estimating the time/budget for a grant project. Anyone have any advice / products to recommend? Cheers :) | 12:43:38 |
 jameszaki | Hey mate, depending on what it is I might be able to help in terms of some tecn estimation. Although best done by the team that would be building it.
(Assuming this is a tech project?) | 20:14:49 |
