The problem DonatETH solves

Donating things is a good thing but keeping the procrastination of our generation in mind most of the things make their way to the dustbin which rather can be used by needy people so to facilitate donating things which in return good

karma

or token is a win-win situation for all. So we provide a platform for goodwill hunting and want you to use your good karma in this life only.

Team DonatETH aims to provide a platform for people to donate things which are not in their use anymore to the needy so that they can benefit from it
Donators are then in return rewarded with karma, a token for good deed which can be used to purchase things from NGO stores
Users can simply book an appointment and then a picker will be assigned to them which will pick up all the donations and assign a karma value to it which is then later credited to the account of the donator's account

Example - You don't need some clothes and thinking of throwing it but you can just book an appointment for donation and get your stuff picked which you don't need anymore, a picker will then reach out to you and pick up your things which you don't need anymore, after this those things will be taken to a local NGO store and will be evaluated for it's value, depending on it a 'karma' token i.e. a token for good deed will be issued in your account using which you can make purchases from several NGO stores. All this was from the user perspective. From organization from the perspective, the shops operating under NGO will get more exposure as the user donating will get karma which the user uses to buy things from NGOs and hence there will be a good outreach of the stores listed under NGOs about which fewer people know about.

Other use cases - Recyclable waste collection, carpooling i.e user will be given karma if they book an appointment to recycle their recyclable waste or to share a cab with someone whenever they commute. We planned to incentivize every good thing people can do

Challenges we ran into

A lot of metamask troubles, 2 out of 3 laptops were ruined by MM and kept crashing so we basically developed on just one laptop. We tried integrating multiple technologies and went through their docs and studied how we can incorporate, but we ran out of time due to Truffle, Drizzle errors. We had the scope of integrating lendroid and matic and had excellent use case but we ran out of time.
