**Next priorities**
**Our next plan of action** is to continue the organization of the BCH Summit and reach out to invite speakers and moderators. Furthermore, we will finalize our initiated MVP's and create a pitch deck for VCs; additional projects included. We will draw out the general plan of the 'open for business' campaign and create further visual templates for the video team. We keep reaching out to individuals, established venture capital and potentially interested impact funds as well as individual investors. Preparations for BCH Summit in August and weekly livestreams will be continued.
Kousha will keep working on **bduka.cash** and the implemented topups project closely with the BCH House Uganda team and will implement the ‘Safarri BCH exchange’ service based on google maps, that lists individual MTOs and money changers, which have partnered up with BCH House Ghana to accept and exchange BCH. http://bduka.cash
**Ignite Sponsorship and Business Investment**
We are on the lookout for sponsors to be able to payout our staff and expand it. Experienced applicants are thinking about joining our team and we would love to be able to hire them to be able to work more efficiently. Furthermore, Kousha works on a voluntary basis and is asking the community for sponsorship to work on BCH Ignite projects full-time, which would include all his work on BCH Africa. Kousha is focused on adoption in Africa, has several leads and came up with hands-on projects that are not only viable but desperately needed both from the customer and the Bitcoin Cash side. As far as he knows, he is one of the very few individuals outside of Africa working on Bitcoin Cash adoption there. He is the founder of the Bitcoin Cash House Ghana and BCH House Africa project and is readying MVP's to be implemented. It would help a lot, when the businesses get the capital he needs to provide the necessary liquidity.
Other business and charity initiatives from BCH Latam and BCH Ghana, as well as cooperation on applications and services with other builders on BCH have a planned budget as well, that is in need of funds. We would be happy to pitch them to you and make out the terms of your sponsorship.

This week we're talking about p2p liquidity and the applied case in the Zapit payments and remittance wallet. Learn a bit about crypto in India and how to legally and easily remit money via BCH, by utilizing an ad hoc decentralized p2p exchange System. Paying fiat payments through the Zapit app as well as operating as a payment partner through the App is incentivized with Token 'cashback'.

Judge BCH Ignite on These Metrics
You can't claim to be solving anything until you have created a problem statement about what you are trying solve.
Therefore, BCH Ignite offers these metrics for your feedback. We aim to be held strictly to account on all of these categories except Blockchain and Market, and we of course aim to greatly influence those as well.
Metrics in cryptocurrency projects are hard to pin down because so many are fakeable. You can set up a web of nodes that send each transactions all day. Total UTXOs is fakeable in the same way.
Without sharing app store screenshots, even mobile wallet installs is fakeable.
So, here at BCH Ignite, we aim to identify metrics that are not fakeable and, most importantly, that are meaningful. All of this so you can hold us to account.
We welcome your feedback. What other metrics matter?

Moderators in various languages needed
Written by: KoushBCH https://read.cash/@Koush
**Welcome to the BCH Ignite Builders-Community.** We're happy you're here and excited for all the projects we host on this platform going forward. We also setup a BCH🔥Ignite Discord with channels for various languages prepared and want to take the opportunity to ask for anyone's support in taking in a role as moderator in a channel whose language he or she is proficient in. You can look up all hosted languages in the 'General' category of the Discord section. **We're looking for moderators** for each language besides EN-DE-ES-PT. That means we need mods able to communicate in and translate from ZH-JP-FR-RU-AR-FA. https://discord.gg/NstmwYm
**As a moderator** you have the freedom to curate the channels you're assigned to and act as a contact person for the BCH user base from relevant countries. You reply to eventual questions and suggestions. Should you not be able to answer any given question or received a suggestion, translate and redirect it to a suitable reference person from within the core community and translate back the given response. The majority of the time however you will be simply ensuring a certain netiquette to be upheld by the members participating in the chat.
**If you are interested** in fulfilling this task on a volunteer basis for now, please fill out this **Onboarding Form****.** https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe0__gwKmXFsiyhVFyVDXYZnr7MelW3AR9F9W5A70AoS_yNaQ/viewform
