UBUNTU Contributionism – Cardano Catalyst – One Small Town OST

to implement a new a new way of life
0:07
we have realized so we have a team all
0:11
around the world from many nationalities
0:13
and we have realized that the system in
0:16
place
0:17
doesn't suit everybody we have a lot of
0:18
misery in every country you can go so we
0:21
try to implement a new way of living
0:25
so there is a
0:26
white paper that's created
0:28
i will not go through all of it
0:30
but basically we call it the ubuntu
0:33
movement ubuntu is not related to the
0:36
linux computer things it's just an
0:38
african expression that say that it's if
0:40
a system is not good for all the
0:43
community numbers then is not good at
0:45
all
0:46
so we have this ubuntu vision
0:48
and we try to implement it through our
0:51
implementation plan that we call one old
0:53
town
0:54
for this we have a sign with mayors
0:57
of a town of around 10 000 inhabitants
1:01
we have a first city in lebanon
1:04
where we will implement this one small
1:07
town initiative basically we will ask
1:10
all the town people
1:13
to give of their time to give three
1:15
hours a week of their time
1:17
for
1:18
work in a business in the city to
1:21
produce goods and to produce
1:24
more goods that the city need so to have
1:27
a city of abundance so all the citizens
1:30
can enjoy
1:31
all the fruits of the world the
1:34
collaborative work of the city
1:37
so for this we need many tools
1:40
we need for example to
1:42
register the skills the abilities of all
1:45
the people of the city so we can know in
1:48
which business they can work
1:50
for this we need a smart card
1:53
that will be linked to the blockchain
1:55
to have a database decentralized when we
1:57
can just pick a name and ask him if you
2:00
want to work on this
2:02
business
2:03
we will also need the teacher
2:06
exterior investors to invest in the town
2:10
business
2:15
we want to create a crypto token
2:17
that will allow us
2:19
to
2:20
raise awareness all about the world and
2:23
to have investors that will give the
2:25
money
2:26
for the city
2:28
business plan that we create
2:30
and that they will be able to win a
2:33
share to have dividend from the product
2:36
that we will create in the town and
2:38
distribute in the neighboring town
2:41
so
2:42
there is five proposals we did in this
2:45
cardano catalyst found
2:47
round
2:49
there is one for the smart card that we
2:51
need
2:52
there's one to create a smart contract
2:55
that will be linked to our nft
2:57
marketplace
2:58
which will be a representation of the
3:01
investor share in the business
3:05
there is also a wallet that we will need
3:07
to create
3:08
to register the time to time link
3:12
the volunteer you know three hours a
3:14
week time that they give
3:16
we need to register all this in our
3:17
wallet
3:19
we will need also to have um
3:22
a token that will be used as a community
3:25
uh
3:26
currency so in the city
3:29
uh we won't have free
3:31
free exchange of all the products but
3:33
for that we will need a
3:35
intermediary exchange that will be this
3:37
token
3:40
so we also have
3:43
the need of open source and scalable
3:46
scalable
3:48
system because we have one city in
3:50
lebanon for now
3:52
that we implement already this vision
3:54
that we have but we have many other
3:57
cities all around the world we have for
3:59
example some tribal land in south africa
4:02
which is 100 000 people
4:04
even more so we have like millions of
4:07
people just waiting for a sperm in their
4:09
city to implement all our solutions and
4:12
to use all our tools
4:14
so we are trying to um
4:17
to build all these tools and to uh test
4:19
them on the field in our first city in
4:21
lebanon
4:22
then once it's successful we can
4:26
really reached to more mayors that we
4:29
all designed and to come to them with
4:31
the tools
4:32
and to implement in their city as well
4:35
this solution
4:37
so we have a user base to start of ten
4:39
thousand already but this will increase
4:42
to millions in just one year from now
4:45
and in 10 years we could be
4:47
we can only dream of but we can be
4:50
a huge amount of
4:52
workforce
4:53
all around the world we are already we
4:56
have uh
4:56
ambassadors in more than
4:59
15 icing countries where we act
5:01
victorious
5:03
if you could do it the last two
5:05
sentences in order to close your
5:07
presentation this would be great thank
5:08
you
5:09
all right i will try
5:11
so we will
5:13
we have
5:14
many mayors interested by our vision by
5:17
our plan that we details in our we have
5:19
a website we have a youtube channel with
5:21
100 000 subscribers so we have many
5:24
people interested just waiting for us so
5:27
we need to create the tools
5:28
to test them and then we need to to
5:30
scale all the tools we have to the other
5:33
town to the other cities
5:37
thank you very much
5:42
i start with the first question is there
5:44
anything yeah you didn't mention uh
5:46
because you were running out of time
5:49
and want to share this audience
5:52
i have many things to share it's it's a
5:54
huge ecosystem we are trying to build
5:57
that's why we have five proposals
5:59
because we need many tools
6:01
and all the tools
6:03
um
6:04
we are one of them details here on the
6:06
white paper
6:07
and i tried to detail them as much as i
6:09
could in all the proposals
6:11
so we need to build and we want to turn
6:13
cardano because we want we know that
6:15
cardano is looking to improve the
6:19
life of the most of the people
6:22
as possible on the planet earth that we
6:24
all share so if cardano and one small
6:27
town can collaborate together and and
6:29
build this all the tools that we need
6:31
it will give to to us all the tools that
6:34
we need but to cardano it will give a
6:36
user base
6:37
always ending
6:39
thank you alex
6:41
you're the first
6:42
thank you first of all very
6:44
revolutionary idea
6:46
so this makes us exciting but a question
6:48
about economic sustainability do you
6:50
understand that right that you believe
6:51
there is a plan how by taking only three
6:54
hours of work of all the inhabitants you
6:55
can sustain all the economy of a small
6:57
town
6:59
yes absolutely i i not have time and
7:02
there's a vision to to details to you
7:04
now how do we do that
7:06
on the website right i can read it there
7:09
we have uh a book from michael tallinger
7:12
that is called ubuntu contributionism so
7:14
we have 300 page that details
7:17
how we put all in place out is three
7:20
hours a week by some volunteers is
7:22
enough to have a very successful cities
7:26
and ten thousand uh inhabitants are very
7:29
fairly small city and we can make just
7:32
billions if we do it well
7:34
and all the plan is in this book so it's
7:37
michael tellinger
7:39
ubuntu contributions and you have for
7:41
free you can find it online for free in
7:44
french english any language you want you
7:46
can also buy it to support the project
7:48
for twelve dollars
7:51
thank you
7:53
thank you alex
7:54
and victor any other questions from the
7:56
audience
8:01
what is why uh why do you need to create
8:04
your own wallet
8:06
always wallet questions
8:10
excuse me can you repeat that oh um yeah
8:13
one of the proposals you want to have is
8:16
to create your own wallet is that right
8:20
yes yes so we need a wallet
8:23
we need a plate to store so there's two
8:26
tokens that we need to create one is for
8:29
the investors that they invest in the in
8:31
the business of the town
8:32
and in the exchange they can buy a nft
8:35
to have a share to have dividend from
8:37
this business there is another token we
8:39
need to create
8:40
to uh time and bank the time that the
8:43
volunteer uh spend so for this we need
8:46
our wallet yes
8:51
i feel like you might not need a wallet
8:55
but maybe i'm stupid because i think
8:57
there are some open source wallets that
9:00
you could use
9:01
and staking is just a question of the
9:04
policy if i remember correctly from
9:08
the prism stuff but maybe thomas knows
9:10
them more
9:12
i have the same feeling but but i'm not
9:14
100 sure whether i got all the details
9:16
because he mentioned victor also
9:18
mentioned that he needs to lock the time
9:20
and i don't know a wallet where you can
9:21
uh lock the time at the moment but maybe
9:24
that's some additional feature on top so
9:26
if you could leverage or you reuse an
9:28
open source wallet and add the time
9:30
tracking feature
9:31
yeah and uh combine it with a smart
9:33
contract contract for the token exchange
9:35
this this uh would justify it
9:38
right
9:39
well for my knowledge there is a wallet
9:41
that could be used with the end our
9:44
wallet but it's not open source so we
9:46
need to create an open source wallet
9:47
that will be specific to our need and
9:50
there's no notes that i am aware of in
9:53
the market for now
9:54
john please maybe there is a person
9:57
sorry victor
9:58
no that's fine now it's victor and i
10:01
actually i'm coming in as a co-partner
10:03
with uh victor and where i came from is
10:06
from is on the business planning part of
10:09
the one small town and when we were
10:11
working through many applications i
10:12
realized whoa this is these are very
10:15
viable needs i.e there's time banking
10:18
how do you track the quality of the uh
10:21
the products and services to ensure that
10:22
those uh
10:24
ubuntu products if they're in the
10:26
marketplace
10:27
have a defining
10:29
secure
10:30
element and i looked upon like you say
10:33
the the the prism model and all of a
10:35
sudden i thought gee this ecosystem
10:37
could not fit on
10:39
uh
10:40
the blockchain and then that's where i
10:42
became involved with the cardamom over
10:44
the last year and i said wow this is
10:45
amazing we could be the real financial
10:48
system and the
10:50
decentralized financial system or
10:51
cardado with its platform could serve a
10:54
lot of these needs in a decentralized
10:55
way and also be scalable so
10:58
victor being uh on the tech side made it
11:01
very uh clear that a lot of these tools
11:03
that we are functioning now in the small
11:05
town valve uh
11:07
raza matan uh could become much more
11:09
efficient and much more scalable once we
11:12
have uh these these tools and mike
11:14
you're absolutely right if there are
11:16
tools and wallets that we could use then
11:18
that's fantastic and the application and
11:20
the research to make sure which are
11:21
going to be beneficial to this real
11:23
environment is essential so
11:26
uh that's my my two cents worth but uh
11:29
we're dealing with a real situation with
11:31
a real uh economy that needs uh uh uh
11:35
smart uh uh decentralized uh financial
11:37
modeling and other uh services so
11:41
also the consensus model is very
11:42
important for people to pick and choose
11:44
that where they're going to work and the
11:46
quality of the businesses that we're
11:47
going to uh uh engage and and support
11:51
and uh there was another model alex
11:54
if the one small town the three hours a
11:55
week it is a
11:58
we're hoping that people who are working
12:00
in their environment
12:01
will slowly find that they can engage
12:04
more and more into the one small town
12:05
model and so within a transitional
12:08
period we're moving from
12:10
a legacy system to the one small town
12:13
system and uh that gives the freedom and
12:15
abundance for people to not have to work
12:17
as much uh but also to do the work that
12:20
they really love to do so
12:22
there's a lot of interruptive interrupt
12:24
interpretive uh
12:26
ways of looking at how this uh will uh
12:29
unfold but uh
12:31
we're it's a very wonderful exchange
12:33
that we're trying to engage with uh
12:35
sorry
12:37
the current state of the project
12:42
where are you looking for the funding to
12:44
start with the development
12:47
no no we already start we already
12:49
employment many things are already
12:51
businesses running we are already on the
12:53
field in the first city in lebanon we
12:55
have their
12:56
timber we have volunteers already that
12:58
we have a business plan team for example
13:01
we are writing all the business plan
13:03
that we can do in the specific town so
13:05
all this is already ongoing but
13:07
very soon the people of the town will
13:10
start to volunteer there three hours a
13:12
week and we'll need these tools to
13:13
register we cannot go on a spreadsheet
13:15
on excel of course so we need all these
13:17
tools to
13:18
we can do without to start but at some
13:20
point we need them to uh to be more
13:22
efficient so we already are in the
13:25
advanced in the in the vision in the
13:27
plan
13:28
and let's say we have 20 cities just
13:30
waiting for us
13:31
so we are focused on one for now and
13:33
when we do it good we can expand to the
13:35
other
13:39
nice thank you very much
13:41
you have two minutes left
13:43
so who wants to know more from victor
13:45
and sean
13:48
yeah any question
13:50
i heard one flap question if there is no
13:52
competition
13:53
but basically my question is i'm trying
13:54
to understand it what is the highest roi
13:56
activity that you plan to start with so
13:58
basically the meaning of time of
13:59
inhabitants would you rate the most
14:00
value what it is
14:06
i think i will understand the question
14:08
we have
14:09
partnership all around the world for
14:11
example and we have
14:13
we will have free electricity we have
14:15
new technology that will bring us free
14:17
electricity that we will implement in
14:19
this town and this will drive all those
14:21
our business when you don't have to uh
14:23
to care to pay the bills of electricity
14:25
you know to the government you can focus
14:28
on other things
14:29
so the first thing the first force is
14:32
this is the free electricity that will
14:33
free uh many energy for other for people
14:37
to do other things
14:38
but what about something that you can
14:40
build to exchange with other cities
14:42
because likely one city will not be able
14:44
to produce everything so what will this
14:45
something that you can produce very
14:47
affordably
14:48
at the same time exchange for high value
14:50
with others
14:52
well every city will have its own
14:53
specific you know buildings and
14:55
facilities that we can use so it can be
14:57
a a factory of ecological clothes or it
15:00
can be permaculture it can be fruit be
15:03
anything every city specifically for
15:04
this city in lebanon you should already
15:06
have some plants
15:08
lebanon in lebanon it's uh it's mostly
15:10
touristy tourism the city is very close
15:12
to beirut and it's a beautiful city on
15:15
the mountain you have a lot of hike and
15:17
you can go so tourism wise it's it's
15:20
very great you have a lot of good wine
15:22
so it will drive the business so it's
15:24
tourism to start and also it's the
15:26
energy once again it's a free energy
15:28
that we can distribute to other cities
15:31
okay
15:32
thank you
15:33
good luck
15:35
thank you
15:39
all right
15:40
10 minutes are over all questions seem
15:42
to be answered three very interesting
15:44
topics thank you very much for
15:45
presenting yeah and actively
15:47
contributing to this uh healthy
15:49
discussion
15:51
and now it's time to go back to the
15:52
breakout room we have 15 minutes to
15:55
refill our coffee cups or whatever and
15:59
i hope to see you later for the next
16:01
three thank you very much
16:03
all right see you
16:05
take care
16:36
you
