♾️ What is the Internet Computer

From https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/developers-guide/concepts/what-is-ic#

The Internet Computer is a blockchain that enables developers, organizations, and entrepreneurs to build and deploy secure, autonomous, and tamper-proof software programs.

As an application developer, you might find it useful to think of the Internet Computer as providing the following key elements:

An open communication protocol that enables general-purpose computations to run transparently directly on the internet A network that runs the protocol to provide computing capacity—for example, the hardware, CPU, and memory required to run programs—through independent data centers. A globally-accessible and scalable blockchain platform for running software applications.

ICDevs.org believes in a future where a significant portion of enterprise and consumer information management and commerces occurs with the Internet Computer involved. Our goal is that most people will be using the Internet Computer without knowing that they are doing so. To reach this goal we need a significant number of well-trained and well-equipped developers to build the infrastructure that seamlessly melds real-world activity into trustless computing infrastructure.

💰 Bounties

ICDevs.org funds code bounties. These bounties are meant to be both challenges to growing IC developers and avenues to further the scientific discovery of tech around the IC. You can help expand the number of bounties we can offer by donating.

If you have a piece of functionality that you need for your application and would like to sponsor a bounty, please reach out to us with specific details around endowing a bounty. A 20 ICP bounty can be endowed by donating 100 ICP to ICDevs. 20 ICP goes directly to the first bounty, 80 goes into a bounty 8 year neuorn. From this bounty neuron 2/3 of the maturity will fund more bounties and 1/3 will go into the general ICDevs.org endowment neuron.

Accelerate a bounty:

DFINITY has awarded ICDevs.org a Foundation Grant. For each ICP donated to ICDevs on behalf of an open bounty, we will add 2 ICP to that bounty from the grant. (Maximums Apply) Pick your favorite bounty and spend DFINITY’s money. Donations are tax-deductible for US Citizens and Corporations.

💰 Donations

ICDevs.org is funded by the Internet Computer community. Raising funds is essential for us to continue to be able to provide the services that are core to our misson. There are lots of ways to give and the structure of the ICP token gives us additional creative ways for the community to support our work.

Mint ICDV - The ICDevs token or set up a Subscription

If you want the dedicated product overviews first, visit the ICDV token page, the subscription utility page, or the CycleShareLedger page.

$ICDV is a utility token that is used to provide cryptographic proof of donation to ICDevs.org. It has no financial value and anyone minting the token should expect to receive no value other than social proof and self-satisfaction of contributing to public good. We hope to do fun things in the future for $ICDV holders, but there should be no expectation of financial gain or future value. If you mint $ICDV and you are a US Citizen, reach out with your block number on the ICP ledger and your tax payer information and we will get a 501c3 Tax letter to you so that you can deduct the donation on your taxes.

For each ICP donated there is 1000x bonus. 1 ICP = 1_000 ICDV. (Applies to the first 1000 ICP donated).

You can add the ICDV Token to your favorite wallet by adding a custom ICRC-2 token with the canister ID agtsn-xyaaa-aaaag-ak3kq-cai.

You can also subscribe monthly from you plug wallet. We’ll pull funds monthly and you can cancel at any time. Most tokens accepted. ICP donations will be eligible for ICDV Minting in the near future!

Check out our educational youtube series where we developed the ICDV token.

Currently Donations are supported through Plug Wallet, NFID, and Internet Identity. For II, send ICP to your site based principal from the Network Nervous System.

Tax-Deductible Donations:

The following information is informational only. Please consult a Tax Accountant to confirm that the information is relevant to your tax situation.

Other Ways to donate:

Cash
Liquid ICP
Dedicate a Neuron (Least commitment…just donate your neuron maturity)
Ethereum
Bitcoin

The US Tax code allows you to deduct donations up to a certain amount against your income. You can donate cash or property(tokens) and the tax treatment is different depending on if you are an individual or a corporation.

🗳️ NNS Governance

ICDevs.org participates in the governance of the NNS. Our goal is to vote in the interest of our developer community on NNS governance issues that affect developers.

Our Neuron

You may follow our neuron 14231996777861930328 via the NNS and we will vote for you on governance topics

NNS Governance FAQ

Q: When will you vote?

A: We vote on governance issues that have some direct or indirect bering on developers in the IC ecosystem.

Q: What happens if you don’t vote?

A: Our neuron is configured with Eventually Reject so that we SHOULD vote on every NNS issue within 8 hours of finalization. This is not a 100% guarantee as technical issues may arise.

Q: How do you decide to vote?

A: Voting is at the discretion of ICDevs.org. We institute an always reject canister hotkey to make sure we don’t miss votes, but we cannot guarantee we will not miss some votes. Currently all SNS Swaps and Updates to the NNS app that include a swap facility are rejected until the US Government clarifies its crypto stance. Please contact your local representatives and insist on clear guidelines for companies in the US that want to interact with crypto systems.

🏗 “Builders Too Busy to Pay Attention to Your Allow-List But Will Support You When its Time” DAO

ICDevs.org has commissioned a DAO to help community developers gain recognition for their work building up the Internet Computer ecosystem.

The DAO can be found here.

Find out more at the dev forum.

This is a Simple DAO. It lets developers record their principal in a central place where other project owners can find them and send them drops, bonuses, and other assets the may be good for testing and/or launching new efforts on the network.

Only other developers can add you to the list. Reach out to admin @ icdevs.org or https://twitter.com/icdevs_org if you would like to be considered to be added to the list. You need to provide:

Enough evidence of developing on the IC to convince a proposer to add the vote. If there is evidence you would not like added to the ballot, let us know.
A principal(plug compatible for now…we hope to add all wallets soon. Don’t use an NNS principal or you won’t be abel to vote.)
A pithy message that you would like to be shown on the public DAO web page.

You can see the current list at https://pnbcw-3qaaa-aaaag-qbpqq-cai.raw.icp0.io/.

A csv version is available at https://pnbcw-3qaaa-aaaag-qbpqq-cai.raw.icp0.io/list.

You can access the list programmatically at pnbcw-3qaaa-aaaag-qbpqq-cai with the following interface:

service : {
  getList: () -> (vec record {
                        principal;
                        record {
                          text;
                          int;
                        };
                      }) query;
  onList: (principal) -> (opt int) query;
}

ICDevs funds open-source infrastructure, developer education, and ecosystem experiments that matter.
