Hello there,

I will be voting nay on this.

I do think that the remark is slightly confusing because it gives the impression that it is AAG that is tipping Polkabeat, meanwhile AAG is merely PROPOSING a tip in favour of Polkabeat to be paid out by the Community treasury.

It would be good if proponents could refrain from instrumentalising the Community treasury for their own publicity/marketing/promotional ends.

Thank you.

AAG is a volunteer, community platform for governance discourse, examination, and open fumbling with new social tech.

Its aim is to publicize, market, and promote the governance model itself while providing a public forum for those attempting treasury funding.

This well deserved tip proposal was presented as an educational opportunity and the slightly confusing remark was decided Live and in the moment. In context the proposing is the the act of gratitude, not the reward.

As this weekly, live program is free and open to all, anyone is welcome and encouraged to join and shape the discourse.

@447368856cec4afcae909c71d In that case, it would be good if AAG's volunteer educators could thoroughly educate themselves about the ins-and-out of on-chain Treasury processes before dispensing their lessons to the wider community. Web3 education isn't something that can be improvised in the spur of the moment for uninformed onlookers, even more so during a bear market.

uh oh...

Anyway, here's a thread of clips from this week where 9 governance users got to share their project and face scrutiny in front of a live audience for anyone interested.

Members of the Fellowship Collective involved in projects flagged by the OG tracker should provide a proper explanation, return the funds to the Treasury, or face expulsion.

Invarch failed to provide the first two, so Gabe, a founding member of the team, does not meet the ethical standards required to have a voice in the Fellowship.

TENETS (extract from the fellowship manifesto)

"Members are expected to faithfully uphold the following tenets.
Clarifications to the rules should be in agreement with these tenets. Acting in clear breach of these tenets may be considered by voters as grounds for non-promotion, demotion or, in extreme cases, exclusion from the Fellowship.


(1) Sincerely uphold the interests of Polkadot and avoid actions which clearly work against it.
(2) Respect the philosophy and principles of Polkadot.
(3) Respect the operational procedures, norms and voting conventions of the Fellowship.
(4) Respect your fellow Members and the wider community"

#510 Secure Funds
EJgd...JGQZ
7 days ago

To prevent potential mismanagement of Youdle DAO treasury funds, we propose temporarily transferring these assets to the Kusama Treasury, which is now the safest option.

Rationale:

The Invarch team, which currently controls the funds, has a history of questionable financial decisions, including the transfer of more than 200K ASTAR from the DAO to a CEX without transparency.

Community members have raised concerns and asked questions about fund management, but the team has not provided clear answers.

To ensure responsible management, these remaining funds (400 KSM) should be safeguarded under Kusama governance.

Next Steps:

The funds will later be returned to Youdle DAO holders through a transparent and verifiable process.

 

We urge the community to support this measure to protect DAO resources.

 

Evidence:

Rug on virtuals

Youdle DAO rug

Moving DAO funds to a CEX because it's a shared address instead of moving to another on chain address? No answers.

Pink rug

Pink distributed by the pink team to invarch was supposed to get distributed to the community

but instead 2000000 pink were allocated to xcastronaut (invarch founder) wallet

Then went to hydration and got sold.

VARCH rug

$VARCH token launched less than 30 days ago. ICO investors are down -96%

Tinkernet rug

Tinkernet (kusama parachain) was shutdown. Investors were given 4 VARCH for 1 TINKER. VARCH was later a rug so this converts Tinkernet in a rug. Before shuting down they made an LBP in Osmosis (Cosmos) which also was a rug.
