 # Paideia
+[Paideia](https://www.paideia.im) is a project from the [ergopad](ergopad.md) team whose purpose is to create a functional, secure, and well-documented DAO software suite that supports DAOs as they form and develop. It will make it easy for anyone to initiate a DAO, distribute tokens using various methods, create proposals, and collect votes. It will help various organizations share funds in a secure and fair way.

+## Using Paideia
+This section will cover how to use the Paideia beta. Alternatively, you can watch [Paideia, Joining Your DAO | One Take Series](https://youtu.be/YUGNLQ6n8BA).
 
-/// details | Status: Open Beta!
-     {type: success, open: true}
-The Paideia open beta is now live, you can get some bPaideia at [ergofaucet.org](https://ergofaucet.org/) for testing.
-///
+## Prerequisites
+1. You'll need an Ergo wallet such as Nautilus to interact with Paideia.
+2. During the beta phase, creating a DAO is free. Simply reach out to the Paideia team and provide one of your tokens.
+3. To create proposals, you'll need to hold at least 1000 bPaideia tokens in your wallet, obtainable from the [Ergo faucet](https://ergofaucet.org/).
+
+## Getting Started
+1. Connect and authenticate your wallet on the Paideia platform.
+2. If you're creating a new DAO, contact the Paideia team and provide the necessary token. In the future, there will be a fee in PAI tokens to set up a new DAO.
+3. After [staking](https://app.paideia.im/Sigmanauts/staking/manage) your DAO token, you can participate in actions like voting or proposing changes.
+
+## Creating Proposals
+1. Ensure you have at least 1000 bPaideia tokens in your wallet.
+2. Navigate to your DAO's page on the Paideia platform and click "Create Proposal".
+3. Enter the necessary details for your proposal and submit the transaction from your wallet.
+4. If you encounter an error message stating "e.sent is undefined", try the following:
+   - Open the developer console by pressing F12 and check for any detailed error messages. Share these with the Paideia team.
+   - Clear browser cache and try again.
+   - Reach out to the Paideia team for further assistance.
+
+## Voting on Proposals
+DAO members can vote on active proposals. No bPaideia holdings are required for voting. Be aware that there may be a delay before votes are reflected in the UI, and a page refresh may be necessary.
+
+## Staking and Unstaking
+Paideia supports staking and unstaking of tokens. During the beta phase, staking is done through ErgoPad at [ErgoPad.io/staking/paideia](https://ergopad.io/staking/paideia). In case of any issues with these functions, try the following:
+1. Ensure your wallet is properly synced and connected.
+2. Consolidate UTXOs in your wallet using the "Wallet Optimization Tool".
+3. Clear browser cache and reconnect your wallet.
+4. Reach out to the Paideia team for further assistance.
+
+## Moderation and Spam Prevention
+Paideia is developing tools for DAOs to self-moderate their proposals and discussions:
+- Creating a proposal will cost a small amount of Paideia tokens to discourage spam.
+- DAO members may be assigned different roles based on their token holdings, granting them varying levels of moderation privileges.
+- A community thumb up/down system is being considered to hide irrelevant posts.
+- Minimum token holding requirements may be implemented for posting comments in the future.
+
+## Development Updates
+The Paideia team continues to work hard on improving the platform. Recent updates include:
+- Refactoring smart contracts for better code reuse
+- Adjusting the staking reward system to allow DAOs to change emission rates
+- Implementing generic refund and configuration logic in contracts
+- Planning a move to EIP-5 standard for contracts
+
+Stay tuned for more updates as development progresses toward a full launch in Q2 2024.
+
+## Support and Issue Reporting
+
+Please submit any issues directly to the Paideia Discord by opening a support ticket. The link to open a ticket can be found [here](https://discord.gg/jP25DeTC8U) 
+
+If you encounter an error message or unexpected behavior, please capture the console logs (accessible by pressing F12 in most browsers) and share them with the Paideia team to aid in debugging.
+
+Please note that Paideia is currently in beta, and some features may evolve or change. Refer to the official Paideia documentation for the most up-to-date information.

 [ChainCash](https://github.com/ChainCashLabs) is a decentralized, peer-to-peer monetary system aimed at creating money collectively through trust and blockchain assets. The system addresses the issue of inelasticity in blockchain asset supply, which hinders the real-world usage of blockchain assets in many cases. ChainCash allows for the elastic creation of money in a decentralized manner while maintaining the quality of the currency.
 
+## ChainCash Explained: A Decentralized Monetary System 💰🌐
+
+ChainCash is an innovative approach to creating and using digital money. It allows participants to issue their own notes, which are backed by collateral and trust. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how it works:
+
+1. 💼 **Collateral (Backing the Notes)**: Participants, called agents, lock up some collateral (like cryptocurrency or other assets) in a smart contract. This collateral serves as the backing for the notes they'll issue.
+
+2. 🖨️ **Issuing Notes (Creating Digital Money)**: Based on their collateral, agents can issue digital notes. Each note represents a promise to pay a certain amount of gold (or equivalent value). The gold is used as a stable unit of account.
+
+3. 💸 **Circulation (Exchanging Notes)**: Agents can transfer their notes to other participants in exchange for goods, services, or other assets. Each time a note changes hands, the new holder digitally signs it, indicating their trust in the note.
+
+4. ✅ **Acceptance (Receiving Notes)**: When an agent receives a note, they evaluate its credibility based on the signatures of the previous holders. If they trust the signers, they're more likely to accept the note as valid payment.
+
+5. 💱 **Redemption (Cashing Out)**: At any point, the current holder of a note can redeem it with any of the previous holders. They can ask for the equivalent value of the note in gold or other agreed-upon assets.
+
+6. 🌟 **Dynamic Quality (Note Reputation)**: As a note circulates and accumulates signatures from trusted agents, its perceived credibility and value can increase, even if the original issuer didn't have full collateral backing.
+
+The key advantages of ChainCash are:
+- 🔒 **Transparency**: The collateral backing the notes is publicly verifiable on the blockchain.
+- 🌈 **Flexibility**: Notes can be issued and endorsed by multiple agents, not just the original issuer.
+- 📈 **Stability**: By using gold as a unit of account, ChainCash provides a stable measure of value.
+
+In essence, ChainCash is a decentralized monetary system that enables the creation and exchange of digital notes based on collateral, trust, and a golden standard. It offers a flexible and transparent alternative to traditional centralized currencies.

 ## Introduction
 
 In our digital monetary system, we conceptualize money as a collection of digital notes. Each note's value is underpinned by the collective trust and collateral of all previous holders. Here's how it works:

 A mutual credit system is a type of alternative currency system in which the currency used is not a commodity but an accounting unit. In this system, credit is given by all participants, through a system of IOUs that are issued and managed collectively by the community. This system allows for a flexible, decentralized form of trade, where value is not tied to a physical commodity but to the trust and cooperation of the community.
 
-Ergo's blockchain technology can be utilized to implement a global mutual credit system. This system would be trustless and collateralized, meaning that it does not rely on the trustworthiness of individual participants and is backed by collateral to prevent default.

 One way to implement this on Ergo is by combining it with ErgoFund. ErgoFund is a decentralized crowdfunding platform on the Ergo blockchain. Funds collected through ErgoFund can be used to open a credit line in the mutual credit system. This allows participants to spend money for services within the mutual credit system, creating a self-sustaining economy.
