Eastern Town Hall (rebranding soon)@c3eth
5 out of 25 participants came from a city 3 hours away to attend our 3-month Cardano bootcamp leading to a hackathon that required weekly Friday and Saturdays participation.
Our experience, not housing them will lead to dropouts.
So we rented a house for these 5. Made possible by ADA price influx and stretching our Catalyst budget.
These 5 created "Mitrachain". A dApp to transform everyday payments into verified data and create unbreakable customer relationships that utilizes @nmkr_io and @aiken_eng .

Cardano interest in Indonesia is and was always there. Indonesia never failed Cardano, we were failed by.
Our closest partner, @UGMYogyakarta , choose Space and Time to on-chain 60.000+ of their students. Despite us reintroducing an official Cardano entity. Our access to Indonesia's & SEA's largest media, @kompascom was cut-off also after introducing.
Was never about tech or culture but strategy. Paywall for Cardano is counter productive. At that time, it's language still hard to understand with limited adoption.
Our approach is pay-for-all. This strategy is not new, it is used by many chains to attract attention of builders.
As we speak, there is a government blockchain program, a collab between 16 unis in Indonesia that seeks to utilize blockchain to on-chain credentials.
Cardano can still be part of this & be adopted in Indonesia. Only need right approach, right attitude. Our pilot program is a test-bed for our perceived right approach.
Here you can see Mitrachain going through @gimbalabs Module 303 & 304 on Aiken and Plutus-ts. Live on @andamio_teams here: t.co/SQUuMAz1G5
