#44 [Big Tipper] - Tip request for videos in Spanish

in Treasury
Beneficiary:
(24.00 KSM)
23rd Dec '22

Hello, it's me Claudio again,

I'd like to please request a total of 24 KSM (approx $605.76 for the current KSM price of $25.24) in tips for the following 3 videos which I have produced and haven't been paid by WagMedia due to being out of funds after I already spent the research time and effort to create the videos.

One of the videos is dubbed by one of the ladies I work with for the Spanish material and 2 are original.

1. Polkadot vs Cosmos (comparison video)

2. Subwallet tutorial

3. Mangata X Tutorial (dubbed tutorial)

Also for transparency, feel free to check the description of each of these videos to find that this beneficiary address matches with the one in the description.

Thanks in advance,

Claudio

Overall 83 % of users are feeling neutral. The discussion revolves around whether the treasury should fund various video projects related to the Polkadot ecosystem. Some members believe that certain videos, such as the one for Mangata, should be funded by the treasury as they serve as promotional tools. Others argue that the treasury should not necessarily pay for videos about wallets or topics already covered extensively. There is also mention of WagMedia as a platform to support early content creators, with differing opinions on its role in funding projects....

Overall 16 % of users are feeling against it. We are seeking feedback on our treasury proposal service to assist teams. Share your experience by filling out a form. Follow us on Twitter for more information.

Personally voting NAY on this:

  1. For the Mangata video – their treasury should pay for it, since it's basically advertising for them (it's this video that i mainly have issue with, and just to clarify, i would feel the same about a similar video made about Robonomics, it's not to do with Mangata, more the principle of it)

  2. For the Subwallet video – this is a tricky one, since while I do think we need to direct new users towards wallets with better UX (as i think it can help user retention in the eco), I also think that the Kusama treasury shouldn't necessarily pay for videos about how to use those wallets (just to clarify, imo this also stands for any content that would be related to Nova too)

  3. For the Polkadot vs Cosmos video – there are already quite a lot of videos on the same topic, and I don't know if we're necessarily breaking new ground here, but I don't have any major concerns with this one

Voted Aye

Hi @leemo ok fair enough, I appreciate your feedback. Lots of those other parachains don't have a treasury and Mangata is one of them so I wouldn't be able to reach out, same for the wallets themselves. It's part of Polkadot's ecosystem and helping it grow in the end. How else can we market the ecosystem in different languages if we're not supported in any way ?

Hi Claudio,

I agree with the points Leemo raised. I would also add that this work commenced under the Spanish bounty already paid by treasure. Whatever was the reason for not being paid/run out of funds/failed work prearrangement... is completely between you and the bounty curator. I see no reason to come and ask for the additional funds from the treasury so I will give a strong Nay to this one.

On a positive side it seems you will get approval for the treasury referenda #38 so I would suggest to focus and prepare as there is a lot of work to deliver.

Hi @CoinStudio - Thanks for the feedback, the issue is that although WagMedia got funds, because I contributed after the treasury funds were used up, I didn't receive any compensation for it and I normally contribute to that channel to also promote the ecosystem to the spanish speaking community.

So think of it as a way for me to continue promoting Dotsama to the spanish speakers without getting paid by that treasury, it's a Youtube channel that was created to promote Dotsama on behalf of WagMedia so if WagMedia was to disappear tomorrow, that Youtube channel would remain and I could continue promoting if you know what I mean but would need some funding for the effort. That's separate from Ref #38 because that one's for my english content which is a separate effort.

I’d also like to clarify here that WagMedia is a tool to help incentivize early content creators to get their feet under them and eventually do their own proposals to the treasury through OpenGov. The fact that you are able to appeal to the token holders already is great Claudio, especially since you have been doing videos for such a long time.

WagMedia is not a source of income to live off, but a source of early stage incentives to get creators going. I think working through which content is getting support from token holders and running with that is a way you could go.

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
30th Mar '25

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.
