Hey @brennenhodge, it's great to read all the thought you have put into this. Check out the VIVA project because I think there might be some overlap with what you're each trying to do. Also, there are some good funding opportunities within the VIVAconomy that you don't want to miss, particularly through being a crownholder. You can find info right on Steemit by looking for the #viva tag and also you can check out the website http://vivaco.in

All the best to you. You've taken on a very big job!
