The Matrix-8 Challenge

Edit: This Challenge Is On Hold.

Due to some personal issues i decided not to go ahead and formalise this challenge.
I leave it here though for interest. Perhaps i will revive it at a later date.

Peace and Love

This was a draft, unofficial, not yet final post about the Matrix-8 Challenge, which i published only in the New Age DApps community, so it could easily be shared with a very few people to offer input before final editing.

Dear Ones.

i'm pretty sure that, like the vast majority of people, you would like to help effect positive change in this Play of Life we perceive as Human Life on Planet Earth.

i therefore and hereby invite you to a challenge.

#ichallengeyou to accept the #matrix8challenge

You have been challenged to deeply research and learn about a possible solution to many problems in this world and to become a Matrix-8 Pioneer to Help Create a New Reality.

What is Matrix-8?

One Sentence Summary
Matrix-8 is a way for you to get your voice heard and your opinion taken account of, in real time, in small or large organisations, even at the worldwide level (eg. with Matrix-8 in operation, a Global Ceasefire within a few days could be a reality).

Five Sentence Summary
Lord Acton said, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely", therefore Top Down organisations create criminal leaders (a Boss or Country President at the top making the big decisions).

Matrix-8 provides unlimited numbers of interested participants a controlled and equitable way in which they can anonymously discuss and debate the data which might lead to solutions to the particular problems which have brought them all together, then vote which solutions to move forward.

Matrix-8 is a bottom up leaderless organisation (all the people at the bottom coming to a consensus for the decisions in real time).

Matrix-8 handles deliberations in such a way that folks can participate – but never have to confront debating with more than seven other people at any one time. No other system we know of can provide the logistics for a large number of Participants to use Democratic Processes to get together (either in person or online) and efficiently figure things out.

Matrix-8 will be owned by all the participants yet cannot be sold. There is not, nor will there be, any-one in charge.

Why a Challenge?

Due to the brainwashing of humanity by "the powers that shouldn't be" which happens from the moment of birth through their use of #BigEd, #BigMedia, #BigPharma, #BigGov, #BigFood #BigArmedForces etc. and indeed throughout society in general, it is very difficult for us to open our minds to the possibility that there might be a solution to many (or even just some) world problems, and to take the time necessary to understand a possible solution and then get behind it, to become Pioneers to help move it into reality.

"It’s easy to get people to follow a person. It’s harder to get people to follow themselves." ~ Alan Cohen

The #matrix8challenge has therefore been created to help millions (if not billions) of our brothers and sisters discover the potential of Matrix-8 and to follow, indeed to lead ourselves into a new era of equality.

This challenge is also intended to in-courage and offer incentives for people to take the time to investigate the Matrix-8 Platform and decide for themselves if there is just the slightest possibility that it could be a solution to solve the many problems which appear to challenge humanity, to help us grow into Being Better and Doing Better.

What is the Matrix-8 Challenge?

The Matrix 8 Challenge is a way for anyone who accepts the challenge to Help the World become a better place to live.

If and when you begin to understand how the Matrix-8 Platform works and the infinite possibilities for positive change it can bring to the world, and if you become enthusiastic about or inspired by the spirit of Matrix-8 by taking some time to learn about it, you can officially accept the challenge.

If you're not inspired to accept yet, perhaps because you think if you accept the challenge it won't make much difference, i assure you it will, and i highly in-courage you to watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Meet John Doe to be inspired. Both these movies (watch for free with above links) were made while Hitler was running rampant in Europe. They epitomize the concept that the common man is important, and can be the engine for social change.

How can i Participate in and be eligible for rewards in the Matrix-8 Challenge?

To participate in the Matrix-8 Challenge

requires your valuable time to read information about Matrix-8, then to comment and ask questions to get clarity where needed. But if like a huge number of people in the world you are shut-in at this time, you really have no excuse not to grab at this straw, if it can possibly help make things better.

What information do i need to read?

You can begin here:

You can also continue to read other posts in the New Age DApps Hive Community.

There is further reading available on the goidcsa.com website and the Multi Level Governance mlgov.org website although these are several years old and are in the process of being updated.

To be eligible for a Prize or New Age DApps Crypto rewards ...

You are required to:

Join the New Age DApps Community on Hive
Make a post in the New Age DApps Community with the title "Why i Joined the Matrix-8 Challenge", and with the main picture being the picture at the top of this post, using this picture link.

the efforts you make and actions you take must be recorded on Hive, so that these actions can be taken into account and collated to determine the prize winners, and the allocation of other rewards.

Most of the Matrix-8 information is published on Hive. Hive is (in part) a social media platform (like Facebook). However, unlike Facebook, Twitter, Google, You Tube and many other social sharing platforms, the information posted on Hive is recorded on a Blockchain which anyone who chooses to look can see, AND it is censorship resistant and cannot be deleted. This is why the Matrix-8 is planned to be built on Hive.

To be able to make comments on Hive (to record your efforts) an account is required. Sign up to Hive here if you do not already have an account.

Because your time is valuable, each comment (and other actions) you make will be a contribution toward the chance of you winning a prize in the #matrix8challenge AND other crypto-tokens (with monetary value) even if you do not win one of the prizes (see more info. about this below).

Prizes and other Rewards!

There will be 3 types of Rewards:

1. Matrix-8 Challenge Prizes

i @atma.love will personally donate the following to begin the prize fund:

1st Prize - 2500 STEEM (or equivalent value in HIVE) + 2500 ECOIN
5 Runner up Prizes of 500 STEEM (or equivalent value in HIVE) + 500 ECOIN

Thus i pledge a total of 5000 STEEM + 5000 ECOIN to the #matrix8challenge Prize Fund.

These amounts will be funded from My Steem Wallet and my ECOIN account.
i hereby promise to retain 5000 STEEM and 5000 and my ECOIN in these wallets until the date it is transferred to the winners. If you do not hold a Steem account or you wish the payment to be in HIVE, i will convert the STEEM to HIVE using @blocktrades and transfer it to your Hive account. You will need to join Ecoin (just email needed) to be able to receive them if you win. Note, just by joining ECOIN you will receive (currently as of 2nd April) 750 free ECOIN.

Invitation to Donate Prizes

All Hive members and Communities (and anyone else) are also invited to pledge additional prizes to the #matrix8challenge Prize Fund. You may decide yourself how your pledge is split (to first prize winner, to the 5 runner up prize winners, or even for additional runner up prizes). Cash or other Crypto prize donations are also invited. By making and announcing a pledge, it will increase your chances of winning a prize (but not from the amount you pledge).
If you would like to Donate a Prize to the Matrix-8 Challenge, please comment below with the tag #matrix8prizepledge

Additional Prize Pledges Received ...

will be recorded here below this sub-heading as and when they are pledged.

2. The usual amounts rewarded for posts, comments and upvotes on Hive or Steem

For those reading this post who are not Hive members you may be unaware that Crypto Coins (which can be sold for cash or retained) are awarded for participation in these social networks. If you don't have a Hive account you may Sign up to Hive with this link from me and i will automatically delegate 10 HP (Hive Power) to your account to give you some Voting and Posting power. This link is valid for the first 50 people who use it. Comment below if all are used and i will update it.

3. KLU Crypto Tokens

... will be awarded by New Age DApps for positive actions taken to help bring Matrix-8 into being, by learning about it and sharing, as (partly) detailed above.

How will Matrix-8 be Funded?

A small beginning:

70 % of the author rewards on this post (posts and comments on Hive receive rewards depending upon the number of upvotes), so if you upvote and share this post so others see it, will help raise funds to create a working Matrix-8 Platform.

There are numerous possibilities which could all be rewarded with KLU's. Here are a few:

Donations
Crowd Funding
Hive DAO
Owners/members of a Community or Business who decide to trial and test the first Matrix-8 Platform.

How Long will The Matrix-8 Challenge be Open?

Entries for eligibility to be awarded one of the above stated prizes will be accepted up until 1200 hrs UTC 4th July 2020.

Eligible Actions made by those who have entered the challenge by that date and time will be counted up to 1200 hrs UTC 30th September 2020.

Eligibility to be awarded with Cryptotokens will continue until a closing date is decided by the members of the New Age DApps community who will use of the Matrix-8 Platform to reach a consensus on when mining via this challenge will end. The closing date for Cryptoken rewards will be announced in a new post in the New Age DApps community, a link to which will be added below this paragraph.

How will Prize Winners be chosen and when will they be awarded?

i cannot give a definitive answer to either of these questions at this point in time. Firstly the criteria for winning a prize has not yet been decided. i think it will best be decided upon by consensus from the community. Also, i anticipate a huge number of entries and a huge quantity of data to be analysed before determining the prize winners.

i hope however and intend that within six months of the entry closing date, a snapshot of the data eligible toward determining the winners of prizes determination will be taken, analysed with the award announce at the latest by 1200 hrs UTC on 31st December 2020. It may well be possible to do so much sooner. But this is the latest target date. Ultimately it will be down to community participation to make all of this work.

That's all for now. If you've got this far, i congratulate you, and thank you. If you choose to accept this challenge, i wish you inspiration and love on your journey to help make the world a better place to live.

With Love
Atma

Note:
Although this is a Hive Initiative, it will also be posted on Steem, seven days after being posted here on Hive. This is because part of the prizes i am offering are STEEM, and because i think it is important for humanity at large to know about Matrix-8, so do not wish to exclude those who have chosen to remain exclusively on Steem. And who knows, some may well join us here too as a result ;-) Hopefully i won't be censored on Steem, but que será será!
