“Wow does your project use Stellar?”
Yes, yes it does.

Would it be possible to add times/timezones to those dates? For example, the previous submission round had an ending time of 12PM PST alongside the ending date.

Cheers

    hi I am trying to enter a proposal where do I start the form

      thisBrian All times are midnight UTC the day of. So submissions close tonight, March 23rd at midnight UTC. Most of this work moving the round forward is manual though so don’t cut it close 😉

        Caterina Just go here and click Start a Discussion. Be sure and follow the template provided above though.

            SCF has been held for several times, and most of the previous award-winning projects have painted their goals, so after they have received funding, have these goals been promoted? or have most projects been abandoned in the end? I think these projects should be tracked.

            We posted our project but appears on Hidden: FIDO
            Could you please check it?

              hatter Sorry, I don't know much about your project, I will read your submission before voting.

              I have no intention of offending anyone, and I don’t think SDF is obligated to sponsor a specific project, I just hope that those who have received the SCF funds can make good use of the funds to improve their projects, so that the ecosystem can be better.

              Thanks to those who worked to build the Stellar ecosystem.

                hatter Good idea. It would also help if the submission deadline was not in the middle of the night for me 🙂.

                But either way, we will always have people missing it by a bit. Leaving it open for a bit after the deadline should also be ok.

                    bkolobara Sorry if was confused. Im in Pacif Time so I was aware of posting our project before the day ends (23th March) as the original Rules were posted. I missed the post from @tyvdh were explain was UTC time.
                    In my defense that anouncement was posted the same deadline date so I missed.

                    Thank you so much for the opportunity and we hope we can contribute to the Stellar community with our project.

                      The submission phase of SCF 4 has officially closed! It’s amazing to see so many fantastic, ambitious and detailed entries this round. Onward to the discussion round! Use this time to ask and answer the hard questions, to lend a hand in suggesting improvements. Above all though encourage each other and celebrate your accomplishments and achievements this far, you are all amazing creators, inventors and innovators. Big claps!!

                      Now for some less happy news. I think we can all agree that the SCF has often felt a little like the wild west and while it’s been amazing to grow, ideate and iterate there comes a time where you have to abide by new rules and stick to your guns. There’s a new sheriff in town and as a former competitor myself I know how disheartening it can be when the playing field doesn’t feel level. To that end we have chosen to disqualify from this round the following projects.

                      MSI mobsen Music Spectrum App
                      Didn’t follow submission guidelines, unclear how Stellar has been implemented.

                      No live element or track record of success. Run a pilot or construct some curriculum first. For pre work funds like this to be permitted some history of success, accomplishments and accountability will need to be proven first.

                      No live element.

                      XLMANCHOR: Becoming an Anchor just got easier
                      Not enough of a live element. For technical projects the SCF should be viewed as a grant for completed work not for promised work, particularly if you’ve abandoned previous SCF entries.

                      paywith.glass - Transaction Infrastructure as a Service [TIaaS]
                      Not enough of a live element and no significant improvements made since the November 2017 SBC entry. For technical projects the SCF should be viewed as a grant for completed work not for promised work.

                      StarVault - Unplugged vault for Stellar
                      No live element. Important technical details aren’t outlined. For technical projects the SCF should be viewed as a grant for completed work not for promised work, particularly if you’ve abandoned previous SCF entries.

                      This is not an opportunity to gloat or bash on the developers or their projects, my hope is that they will each iterate on their entries and come back stronger and more fully fleshed out in the coming rounds. My aim is not to discourage or heavy hand the SCF but rather to encourage the best of us and keep this fund on target.

                      If you have questions, comments or concerns please feel free to reach out to me tyvdh on Keybase. For general suggestions or comments we also have a great form to collect feedback. I want this fund to reach its max potential and for that to happen we’ll need to all give each other a little grace, patience and understanding. We’re all in this together, learning, iterating and trying to make the most of the technology Stellar provides.

                      Onwards!

                        tyvdh Our live element was uploaded on AppStore and we are waiting for approval. As soon as we get the approval we can share the link. Meanwhile our project is using Stellar testnet.

                            nachoflores Amazing! I cannot wait to see it, really looking forward to playing with it next round, the video definitely looked very promising.

                                hatter Really excited about the potential here but without a live element you'll have to wait until a future round when you've got something the community can actively and accurately discuss and evaluate. Really hope you have something tangible for next round or sometime later this year as it looks like you've really put some thought and effort into this.

                                  hatter I understand the frustration and I don't doubt you have something locked and loaded ready to blow us all away but unfortunately I'm unwilling to bend the rules here as it would be unfair to other entrants who have sufficiently live elements and were ready to go on time by the deadline. Remember too this is a quarterly fund so you won't have to wait long before you get a fresh shot at wowing us all in a much more tangible way.

                                      tyvdh Thank you so much for the words. We are trying to solve a massive problem. Here in Mexico all kinds of Frauds are committed and we need to stop it.
                                      Since we found Stellar and SALDO anchor we belive we can create a great tool.
                                      We will work harder for next round but anyways we will deploy our solution in order to get traction and solve the fraud problems around people in Mexico.
                                      Congratulations for this amazing community.
                                      Saludos/Regards
