Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission contains highly exaggerated and unverifiable claims ('everyone' as audience, 'most people have used my product') for a regional educational and networking group. While fostering a local blockchain ecosystem has some basic utility, the lack of realistic traction metrics, technical innovation, and generally poor response quality result in a very low score, placing it in the minimal or no verifiable traction category.

Description

Blockchain networks are transforming transactions and business processes all over the World. South Carolina Blockchain aims to bring South Carolina into the forefront of the blockchain revolution by fostering a productive ecosystem for innovation throughout the state. We believe that embracing blockchain technology, in concert with related emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and 3D printing, can position South Carolina to lead the South East in digital and new technology jobs in the next decade. Our mission is simple: to educate and connect. In service of that mission are actively recruiting presenters and sponsors for our online content. We are growing a community to participate in an exchange of ideas, and to invest time, energy, and capital in promoting South Carolina’s growing blockchain ecosystem.
