Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Update #2 to "Dominant Assurance Contract Platform": EnsureDone, published by moyamo on November 28, 2023 on LessWrong.
This is the second update to The Economics of the Asteroid Deflection Problem (Dominant Assurance Contracts).
It took a bit longer than I expected but I finally launched a platform for raising money using Dominant Assurance Contracts: EnsureDone.
Why is it called EnsureDone? Well, we ran a naming contest on manifold.markets, and EnsureDone had the most Keynesian Beauty.
We've launched with three projects
Building a Platform and Organization to Foster Logic Tournaments Around the World By Sebastian Garren $1800. Closing 2024-02-08
Keep tabs on your local council By Parth Pasnani $550. Closing 2023-12-30
Reflective clouds in the stratosphere to cool the Earth By Make Sunsets $1000. Closing 2023-12-26
If any of these projects sound interesting, remember that
If they don't raise enough money you get all your money back + a refund bonus
If they do raise enough money you will get the public good.
Pledging is a win-win situation.
If you are interested in producing public goods and using a Dominant Assurance Contract to raise funds apply to have your project featured on EnsureDone!
What's next?
Since I have a product I can sell to people. I'm going to focus the next few months on sales.
I'm unlikely to post again on LessWrong, so if you are interested in this project join our Discord.
