Miner Match Grant Application

Project: Miner Match

Elevator Pitch:

Miner Match is a community platform empowering individual hotspot owners and hosts around the world to strategically partner with each other, maximizing network coverage and rewards.

New hosts are incentivized to complete beginner-friendly onboarding tutorials to prepare them for a successful partnership.

Once a partnership is established, the parties independently work out the logistics of the hotspot deployment and manage the terms of their agreement.

The platform is intended to curate a quality, trusted community where any member can rate and review hotspot manufacturers, vendors, hosts, owners and technicians in the Helium space. Establishing an independent hub for the community to rate and review hotspot manufacturers and vendors will foster transparency and integrity from all parties.

**Total fiat/hnt ask **
500 HNT and $30,000 USD

Jennifer Ann Love
Jennifer was a community newspaper publisher in Hollywood, Florida for 14 years before the pandemic. In addition, she is a self-taught graphic designer and web developer, agency owner and managed wordpress hosting provider.

After closing the newspaper in 2020, Jennifer got really depressed, spent a lot of time on TikTok, went down the crypto rabbit hole, and tried a dozen or so side hustles. One of which led her to be the enthusiastic champion of the People’s Network that she is today.

Project Details

• Intuitive social media UX

• Resource hub for the Helium community

• A database and map of searchable listings for
  available
  -host locations,
  -hotspot owners
  -manufacturers/vendors

  -software developers

• Ratings and reviews system for all listings

• A points system to reward frequent users for engaging and inviting others to join.

• Tutorials to help hotspot owners quickly onboard new hosts.

• Translations for all languages and accessible to all.

• Marketplace to buy and sell used hardware.
