This is excellent! I would cast my vote in favor of this, purely based on its impacts. Another query I have (and would pose to any other nominated projects): Has this team been fully financed by PL, or received payments from PL in the past six months? |

It is hard to answer if “a team” was funded as while there are many individuals who have been contracted/funded/employed by PL working on Filecoin, and (i) most of them are not assigned to contribute to one specific project (ii) not all projects initiated by PL has a dedicated team (iii) all projects are open source with contributors that are not directly funded by PL. and I’m not sure why we are differentiating projects by who has funded them before - i.e should projects that PL has contributed funds towards be treated differently from projects has received funds from filecoin foundation, Filecoin hackathons, builder funnels and so on? When it comes to retroPGF, shouldn’t we focus on the IMPACT and the VALUE those public good projects unlock for filecoin? |

@magik6k is there a bundled version of RIBs anywhere like IPFS Desktop that makes this easy to download and run? Any stats on number users / data onboarded? |

No polished UX yet, it's just an mvp. I have 3-4 people with some PBs of data interested in using RIBS even in its current very-mvp state. My test instance has made 46000 deals so far amounting to 1.4PiB of deals (with nearly no effort put into large scale onboarding this is all just small testing datasets) Getting rpgf reward for this project would definitely make it much easier to get dev eyes on it, and I''m definitely planning to put whatever rpgf reward RIBS gets back into developing it more |

I don't gather any stats or telemetry, so I have no idea. Also the user agent used in the requests is very generic so thats also going to be a challenge.. |

Super cool! Love what you're doing with Chainnode too (maybe apply for that one as well?)! Where do you get your snapshots from for other networks? Are they also IPLD-ifying the block data (like Filecoin is)? |

The project name AuralGenius A description of the positive impact of this project for this specific category over the past six months (Oct 2023 - Mar 2024) AuralGenius is a revolutionary AI-based voice recording platform designed to help you capture your inspiration anytime, anywhere. It utilizes AI to convert speech to text and further breaks down the content into specific tasks. This process not only enhances work efficiency but also makes task management more intuitive and effective. Our development plan includes the following key phases: 1、We have completed the development of the platform's basic functionalities at the beginning of February and have successfully launched it. 2、As part of the Filecoin ecosystem, we plan to further integrate into the Filecoin environment in the Q2 of 2024. We will launch a new feature that generates Power values based on the users' $FIL holdings. Using the platform's functionalities will consume a certain amount of Power. It's important to note that Power values are non-transferable and will be automatically generated on-chain according to the platform's rules. 3、We aim to further enhance the platform's AI capabilities to allow users to utilize our services more conveniently.

Thank you for your attention. After the user logs in, he needs to bind Filecoin-Address and realize ownership through signature. The platform will scan Address's asset positions and increase a certain Power value for each block. |

Interesting. The platform does not add new tokens. It is only to serve the Filecoin ecosystem and only to increase the rights and interests of FIL holders. Thumbs up! |
