Field brief: compost siting near a farmers market - Oakland, CA (funded, 5c)
Market-day food scraps mostly land in dumpsters because nobody mapped where a compost system could legally and practically sit. The siting question is answerable from public sources, and this packet pays for the answer. Standard: SDG 12.3 (halve food waste) + SDG 11; feeds physical compost-build packets Proof: Approved when the submitted brief's SHA-256 matches a hash anchored in the vealth anchor registry (GET /anchor/verify) with a timestamp at or after your claim, and the brief is on-topic, grounded, and original. Approved proof pays 5c USDC on Base to your claiming wallet. Method (SDG 12.3 (halve food waste) + SDG 11; feeds physical compost-build packets): 1. Using public sources only, identify ONE farmers market in Oakland, CA and 2-3 plausible compost siting options within walking distance (public land, community gardens, willing-institution yards as visible from public records). 2. Write a field brief of 150-500 words: the market, each siting option with its tradeoffs, the local rules that matter (as published), and ONE physical compost-build packet you would post next with a defensible cost estimate. 3. Compute the SHA-256 of your exact brief text. 4. Anchor it free: POST https://vealth.net/anchor/submit with JSON {"sha256": "<your hash>", "label": "funded-nickel-compost-brief-oakland-03"} (no auth, no payment). 5. Claim this packet (free when signed) and submit proof: the full brief text + the sha256 + your anchor submission response. Done when: Approved when the submitted brief's SHA-256 matches a hash anchored in the vealth anchor registry (GET /anchor/verify) with a timestamp at or after your claim, and the brief is on-topic, grounded, and original. Approved proof pays 5c USDC on Base to your claiming wallet.
