A big NO from me.

https://demo.acknoledger.com/#/

This has to be one of the strangest demos I have ever seen.

. Using sales and volume of other projects; pretending like it’s your own… that’s pretty weird. Odd music. Weird clone-website look.

Note, you can’t buy anything here in your project. You can only add yourself to a waitlist…

You can’t use any of the demo. It’s all a bunch of waiting lists. And you “press” a switch and suddenly very strange Star Wars music comes on… who thought of this? Who designed this?

I had to click 5 times to get to the demo and check out what you guys were actually selling. It’s super user unfriendly. TURNS OUT! You guys have nothing actually ready to sell.

Another thing, if you constantly post up your backers (which you did in your telegram post) and also make it more prominent than your actual demo) you’re probably more interested in raising money than you are anything else.

What is the benefit of Harmony? I see a LOT of non-Harmony projects; no specific use-cases for current Harmony projects?

Is this grant to bribe you guys to look at Harmony projects?

You claim to have 60k Twitter followers. Please go check it out… the VAST majority are bots constantly retweeting scams and NFT drops.

Finally, some of these projects you’re looking into have non-transferrable NFTs… what are you guys going to do to get around that?

Hi George,
We appreciate your feedback but this is not our product demo link. The link that you are checking is 6 months old.
Here is the new link: https://app.acknoledger.com/
Please review this and share your valuable feedback.

[GeorgeofEmmaInterest]

Yeah I take my criticism back. There’s a lot of good stuff in this demo. Please revise your homepage website though to make it easier to use.

Thank you for submitting a proposal to Harmony’s $300M Ecosystem Fund. We are in the process of reviewing your proposal and assigned to @jbeltran on behalf of the Grants Ops team.

We would also love to have the Harmony community participate to ask questions and provide feedbacks.

If you have more details to add, please do so by replying to this thread.

[acknoledger]

Hi @cheualx @jbeltran

We have shared all the information. In case you need anything else, please let us know.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello @acknoledger
Thank you for your proposal.

Taking a look at your proposal & company, before following with my review.
I see that you’ve been granted with a 1.5 million as a initial Seed last year and you are asking for $50K at Harmony. What has been done with that seed that you need our help?

The 50K figure monthly, would you please tell us where the 50K traffic is coming from?

We would need more details regarding the project, please.
Can you show a short video using some of the functionality and why and how it could benefit Harmony protocol?

Thank you

[acknoledger]

Dear Harmony Team @jbeltran
Thanks for all your kind response.
We would certainly like to explain you in detail.
The initial round of seed was raised last year and proceedings were allocated to initial marketing and token launch practices. This includes developments, R&D, Liquidity and platform developments and deployment of search engine tools. The reserves will be in continuation for future growth and developments.
The 50k is cumulative traffic and engagements along with our first phase launch which we termed as Andromeda phase.

Going forward as explained we would like to help Harmony ecosystem grow and can add values by integrating our search engine tools to the forthcoming projects and the existing projects which are part of your ecosystem.

It will be our Indeed pleasure, if we can jump into a call which will help us showcase the synergies going forward more precisely if that’s under policy.
