### BUILDER UPDATE: Mar 11, 2024 (posted via [Build DAO Gateway](https://nearbuilders.org/feed?tab=update)) **✅ DONE** - Finished reading [the updated Nightshade paper](https://near.org/files/nightshade.pdf) and posted a summary in the [Hyperfiles TG Group](https://t.me/hyperfiles/480) - Applied for the [EAS ](https://attest.sh/) Fellowship program (Hyperfiles) - Applied to the [Hyperdesci QF Round](https://github.com/LunCoSim/hyperdesci) on Gitcoin (combined app for OpenCann + Hyperfiles) - Applied to the {Potlock Retroactive Builders Round](https://app.potlock.org/?tab=pot&potId=build.v1.potfactory.potlock.near) (Hyperfiles) - Posted a project update on [Giveth.io](https://giveth.io/project/opencann-network) (OpenCann) - Drafted a product spec for [Global Profile Rankings Using Karma3 + socialDB ](https://near.social/mob.near/widget/MainPage.N.Post.Page?accountId=flowscience.near&blockHeight=114312758) - Drafted a product spec for [Open Webforms](https://near.social/mob.near/widget/MainPage.N.Post.Page?accountId=flowscience.near&blockHeight=114300400) - Posted ["Building... Brands?"](https://near.social/mob.near/widget/MainPage.N.Post.Page?accountId=flowscience.near&blockHeight=114479413) **⏩ NEXT** - Last week was a week of heavy writing, reseach, and conversation/meetings. Time to get back to writing code. **🛑 BLOCKERS** - I have way more ideas than I can build with a novice web3 dev skillset but pretty high level conceptual background and understanding of the markets/users I'm building for (desci bc I'm a scientist and cannabis bc of my first successful venture). I want to start using Copilot instead of GPT4 as my coding assistant to see if it helps me ship faster - I think the [Alem Library](https://github.com/wpdas/alem) by @wendersonpires.near might make GPT's suck less at understanding BOS (and fill in gaps in my React knowledge). #build #update
