Hey @liuchengxu,
thank you for submitting your final milestone. I'll start the evaluation and get back to you :)

[PieWol]

Sorry for the delay @liuchengxu. I was on vacation in the meantime. I'll have an update for you shortly.

Hey @PieWol While the final milestone is still pending review, I sent an email to [email protected] two weeks ago about the Subcoin cross-promotion, but I haven't received any response, is this expected?

[PieWol]

Hey @liuchengxu sorry for that as well. We didn't set up some internal process correctly to direct the emails to the right people. I think it would be great if you could re-send your email one more time to make sure somebody catches it now and it doesn't get lost in the history of past mails. Thank you.

@PieWol Thanks for this message. I just re-sent the email, hope it won't get lost this time :P

Hey @liuchengxu ,
I almost finished the evaluation. Do I literally need to host my own bitcoin node in order to test out the transaction relaying feature? Is there a possibility to use another one which is publicly available? Asking because you are definitely more experienced than me in Bitcoin nodes. Thanks

[liuchengxu]

@PieWol Yes, you have to set up an isolated Bitcoin Core node locally otherwise you can't tell whether the transaction in the pool is relayed from the Subcoin node or the other bitcoin nodes in the network.

Thanks for the great delivery. I accepted it with this evaluation. Congratulations on completing your grant 🥳. Keen to see what other projects you will attempt in the future and what the next steps for Subcoin are. Especially the idea to extend this with mining capabilities and even the integration of BRC20 indexer sound very interesting. All the best!

We noticed that this is the last milestone of your project. Congratulations on completing your grant! 🎊

So, where to from here? First of all, you should join our Grants Community chat, if you haven't already, so we can stay in touch.
If you are looking for continuative support for your project, there are quite a few options. The main goal of the W3F grants program is to support research as well as early-stage technical projects. If your project still falls under one of those categories, you might want to apply for a follow-up grant. However, depending on your goals and project status, there are other support programs in our ecosystem that might be better suited as the next step. For example, projects with a Business Case/Token should look into the Substrate Builders Program or VC Funding and Common Good projects have a good chance of receiving Treasury Funding. If you are looking for guidance, the team at https://substrate.io/ecosystem/square-one/ has compiled a list of ecosystem support sources and are happy to help you navigate it.

For a more comprehensive list, see our Alternative Funding page. Let us know if you have any questions regarding the above. We are more than happy to point you to additional resources and help you determine the best course of action.
Lastly, we hope your W3F grant was a success and we want to thank you for being part of the journey!

Hey @PieWol Thanks for the evaluation! I still have not received a response regarding the cross-promotion after re-sending the email. Is there any other approach I can get in touch with for the cross-promotion?
