Hi, can you point me to the Electric Capital submission for AlgoGazer ?

Hi urtho, our proposal is being put forward as a public good to cover the maintenance costs of running the service. Is an Electric capital code repo a requirement in this case? I tried to ask this question in the discord and did not get an answer.

Correct it’s a requirement: see services section, point 6 in terms and conditions that you accepted when submitting proposal: xGov Proposer Terms & Conditions | xGov

currently you can only ask for grants for “work done” on OSS public goods, while there might be some interpretations that would potentially allow for grants for maintenance asks it would be up to each individual xgov council member to decide if it’s in compliance with TnC or not. I highly suggest you reword/rephrase your proposal into a grant for OSS algogazer platform codebase and potentially modify ask to reflect the work involved in building the platform. This way it will be clearly compatibile with current TnC.

Hi Simon, I appreciate the clarification and guidance. Thank you for taking the time to explain how the current TnC are being interpreted by the council.

Based on this feedback, I am planning to reframe the proposal as a retroactive grant for the development of the open-source components of the AlgoGazer platform, with the request reflecting the engineering effort involved in building and maintaining the core explorer codebase as an OSS public good. The relevant repository will be made open-source and submitted as part of the application so that it is compliant with the current requirements.

Please allow for some time to complete the open sourcing and electric capital submission since I am traveling for the holidays. I will revert back once that is completed before the proposal is sent for voting.

Our proposal has been updated to reflect our commitment to open sourcing the AlgoGazer platform as an open-source public good.

Our initial open source explorer release will be made available on electric capital shortly.

If you are voting against our proposal, I would appreciate any feedback on the reasoning behind that decision. Understanding specific concerns or objections would be helpful, particularly given that this is a modest request aimed at supporting a developer who has been actively building and contributing to the ecosystem for several years. Without community support, projects like this become difficult to sustain, and the ecosystem risks losing another independently built application.

Please provide link to OSS repo as soon as possible. I understand it can take some time for repo to get added to electric capital however you have not provided any public link to any repository so far(which would allow more leeway in councils evaluation) and as such are currently not compliant with TnC.

You can submit your repository to electric capital here: Open Dev Data or do it via your preferred git cli.

I have made our commitment to open sourcing AlgoGazer clear per your earlier suggestion in the discussion phase. It is codified in the proposal. Our source will be made available via our own public github repo as the electric capital repo which is referenced in the instruction video no longer exists.
