It will be a Hats strategy that is a hatter (self-mint functionality) that only requires a passing Passport score. \n\nI hope we can use this Hats strategy as the leaf node in the OpenCivics Hats tree.\n\n### Hats protocol + Allo protocol\n\nThis is similar to the Hats strategy for Passport but is more involved and will likely take longer to complete.\n\nGitcoin devs have already done work on this, but we'll need a dedicated project manager (me!?) to get it over the finish line. \n\nThe plan is to use this strategy for future OpenCivics rounds.\n\n### follow-on QF for VC portfolio rounds\n\nThough I need to re-enroll, my first attempt going through the [Venture Institutue](https://govclab.com/venture-institute) program showed me that we have a **very** exciting opportunity to better realize the [Mensarious Oath](https://fi.co/insight/the-mensarius-oath#:~:text=As%20a%20professional%2C%20I%20am,public%20or%20other%20unwanted%20disclosure.) using Quadratic Funding on Gitcoin. \n\nPlease read the first draft of this idea at [ape.mirror.xyz](https://ape.mirror.xyz/J9w_GwD3gbuJvDCkC-MtNyWNSPTFjwFh2mkPAx_AwZs), but please keep in mind this draft has gone as far as capturing my core ideas but not as far as explaining them to a general audience.\n\n### square root approximations\n\nIn my conversations with Gitcoin mathematicians, this seems unnecessary but the Fibonacci sequence work I've done in observational mathematics might help make QF algorithms more efficient. \n\nThese Fibonacci sequences are described at my Github under [OEIS contributions](https://github.com/bestape#oeis-contributions).\n\n### mathart for Gitcoin\n\nThe images in this application are from an art installation I made at [Cabin.city](https://cabin.city/), explained in this [ape.morror.xyz](https://ape.mirror.xyz/OhCmPGRm7Cp4KtHXWr71KEktig1fyeNjpmo2fxG_0Ak) draft.\n\n![spiral set](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/hJhJJbzGeQQobuQougJXM.png)", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "", "projectTwitter": "bestape"}, "recipient": "0x0D89421D6eec0A4385F95f410732186A2Ab45077"}}
