Especially many technical builders who build amazing things. There’s definitely something there. But seemingly fitting, while the aesthetics are there in this proposal, it’s really quite hard to get to the substance. Respectfully, it’s painfully GPT-esquely written, which drags throughout most of the prop. I believe, but am not sure, the tl;dr is - “We help approved props which have substance, by providing aesthetics & marketing guidance” (free of charge to the individual proposers?) I don’t think quarterly white papers “focusing on the latest trends, insights and strategies within the Web3 space” are of value or something that should be funded by Nouns. Key Performance Indicators are mentioned but none set for this very prop. Big brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Stake (the gambling site?), Amazon and the NBA are name dropped here, where the potential relation to Nouns is unclear, and even if feasible might very well not be wanted (i.e. a gambling site). Again, there’s definitely something here, but I’m not confident in how highly technical builders who would theoretically benefit most from this, would actually be onboarded or be helped by this specifically. Further, it just doesn’t seem like the right culture fit. Expand... 0x75Da...ac4c voted for (2) 519: Nouns Cares: A Fusion of Expertise, Education and Vision 4h Propdate for Proposal 510: Back the next generation of on-chain art 13h EFFICAX 2.0 UPDATE #2 ⌐◨-◨ Exciting things are happening in the land of efficiency, and while very few of them are "tangible", there's some really exciting developments to share. 1.3 IN USE! Efficax 1.3 has been in beta for a bit and is well loved! In my opinion, it's still a touch too clunky to be pushed as a "mainline" release, but 1.4 is well in the works and I'm excited to get that out. it's available here in the meantime 1.4 DESIGN PROGRESS On the subject of 1.4, I've been able to put together a set of simple but fun UI designs, mainly thanks to the awesome typography of MEK.txt, which includes the icon fonts. Everything here is just letters and boxes, so it's nice and small and neat! The contract for 1.4 is also nearing completion, and an early version has been looked over by my friends at the Solidity Guild. As I talked about in the proposal, there's not enough money here for a formal audit, but having friends glance at things sure helps. CC0 ATTESTATION LEGAL UPDATE! Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the lovely Alfred Steiner and I had a great meeting about what CC0 attestation on-chain might look like. After some wording tweaks, it looks like we have a pretty good way for folks to license things as they wish. Licensing is a silly thing sometimes, but with Alfred's help I think we've put together something that will be greatly valuable to the community. No more relying on a "this is CC0" tweet or a link on a website, it'll all be tied immutably together 🤝 CONCLUSION Overall, that's 3 huge conceptual pieces of the puzzle that have been knocked out. With only 1 big one remaining (being the interfaces that will make up 2.0), it's time to get building!

Signature expires Apr 3 rachelroseb.eth commented on 518: Future Disney Princess Wears Noggles To Build Wells in Africa 3d As we approach the end of the proposal, I want to express sincere gratitude to all who have supported us and provided valuable feedback, which will ultimately be applied to enhance our proposal! The feedback received has been instrumental in sparking meaningful discussions on the issue of water scarcity and highlighting the role of Nouns as a global force for impact and public goods. In light of the feedback, we believe that not passing this proposal will ultimately be net positive as it allows us to revise and incorporate community input effectively, to create an even more impactful and Nounish prop! ⌐◨-◨ For the upcoming Version 2 of the proposal, we have outlined the following steps: 1. Collaboratively, myself, the Sierra Leone Rising team (Princess Sarah and Hindo), along with representatives from NounsDAO Africa (Xargs and Davin), will draft the second iteration of the proposal. 2. We will create a fun and informative video (wearing Noggles of course!), providing a detailed overview of the proposal accompanied by personal stories. 3. The revised proposal will feature a more comprehensive outline detailing the step-by-step process of well construction, including the construction process, the team involved, and the equipment to be utilized. (We will also brainstorm ways we can incorporate more Nounish aesthetic to the physical well!) Lastly, we are excited to welcome Princess Sarah into our community and prioritize her onboarding process, as she has expressed interest in getting more involved on today's Tavern space!

I'd like to see more of these props put more effort into "Impact Onboarding". Using this opportunity to create meaningful adoption not only improves the prop, it also positions the community for additional funding opportunities based on their onchain impact. I can envision local adoption resulting in funding from RteroPGF or projects with a focus on emerging markets, Lisk for example. These are the types of communities that can serve as a case study, allowing us to learn more about how public goods funding mechanisms create change and help us grow the ecosystem. Nounboarding should consist of more than funding and one or two pieces of content with people wearing Noggles. This extra effort helps proliferate Nouns as an organization capable of creating change. I'm confident this prop can pass with more Impact Onboarding implemented. Expand...

Voting Yes to encourage the team to revise and try again. 2 things I would like to see in these kinds of props; onboarding and minting. This initiative has the opportunity to onboard a lot of people to Ethereum. Everyone from the Princesses staff to anyone holding a shovel should be onboarded with a wallet, their first NFT and a splits contract from NFT mints. I encourage projects like these to mint everything. Tell a story using a collaborative 1155 collection. An Instagram story last 24 hours an NFT collection lasts forever. I present Fridays at The Park in Honduras as an example of behinds the scenes and NFT storytelling that will maximize the initiative of the prop. (Check out this site! https://zora.co/manage/1155/base:0x878dd96c70b1bef2d1a4c307266579cb958cbf04 ) In addition they onboarded musicians, farmers and coffee people who minted their first NFT to this collection and started collecting protocol rewards. Onboarding and minting the journey can maximize the impact of this proposal for both Nouns and Sierre Leon.

I've had a chat with Rachel and will be letting this proposal run for the last day to get any last feedback and then plan for a rework in collaboration with Xargs + NounsDAO Africa for a future proposal. Takeaways: * Media should be more authentic and less transactional * Really happy to see people who have supported Rachel including Nouns Square community, Nouncil, Xargs, Brennen, and others guiding her on what are next steps after this initial version of the prop. This is really important for new members so that members stay active in the community so I'm thankful that she's experiencing the same treatment that I got when I first joined. * Onboarding new members can be challenging, but overall worth it as I'm excited to see Rachel join one of the more tenured communities and love the passion she has for public goods * A future proposal should likely include a plan for continued support with or without nouns funding for maintenance of wells. This was a really good lesson learned from the conversations with Hindo, Sarah, and Rachel.

This idea could work well for select client(s) but imo is too smol in vision for how big Nouns aims to become. In Nouncil call you said "Nouns will never be as big as Microsoft" whereas for me personally, that is precisely the goal here. We absolutely agree, which is why our services are optional. We're not aiming to restrict the Nouns brand, we're here to support the Nouns and the broader Web2/Web3 communities as needed. This includes all the services outlined in our proposal as well as employing our community members to participate and earn alongside Nouns Cares. Additionally, it appears there needed to be a better understanding during the Nouncil call. Regarding full-time support and quality output, we can't aspire to be Microsoft with the current lack of structure, community & onboarding tools, and general upkeep. To clarify, we believe in developing long-term value that resonates at the core of the brands we support. Think of how Nike Tennis is an integral part of Nike but can only maintain its health if Nike is preserved and adequately represented.

Projects like this are opportunities to prove that communities like ours can be a real force for good in the world, going beyond onetime donations and forging deep, meaningful connections with the people and causes we support. I have a sense from Brennen’s vote that this is supposed to be the first step towards that — but I’m abstaining to prompt a discussion about how to build that level of connection into props, as well as kickstart a conversation about our goals and values as a community. We need to ask ourselves: How does charitable work like this align with our mission of proliferating Nouns? How are we sharing that work with the world? The promise of ‘getting coverage of boots on the ground’ and putting noggles on the project leader and having them thank the Nouns community feels directionally incorrect. It positions Nouns as a benefactor, puts the proposer on the hook for distribution, and also creates some strange optics (no pun intended) by requiring the ones doing charitable work to put noggles on as a ‘make good’ for funding. To truly be effective, proposals of this nature need to have a specific vision for how they plan to proliferate Nouns. Imagine if this proposal were rewritten to include an expanded media budget that funded screenings of a short documentary about the well project in key cities around the world. These events could serve as powerful educational opportunities, teaching attendees about the Nouns treasury and the transformative potential of an onchain internet that can democratize financial access. This approach could extend the reach and impact of the initiative far beyond our own crypto-native bubble, touching the lives of people who might never otherwise encounter our community. Or consider the possibility of making the raw footage of the well construction available to the entire Nouns community, inviting everyone to create their own edits and interpretations of the material. A revised prop might allocate a portion of the budget to award prizes to the creators of the most compelling videos. Neither of these suggestions may be right for this exact prop, but what I’m conveying is the belief that we should be leveraging the power of our community and what makes Nouns unique. If we’re truly focused on proliferation, then every proposal we consider must be crafted with an eye towards creating a story worth telling. I do think this is a story worth telling. We should definitely do this, but reconsider the coverage and how we as a community (can) show up to all of this. It matters as much as the action of building the actual well. sewerpipe.eth signaled against (0) 519: Nouns Cares: A Fusion of Expertise, Education and Vision 4d Much of the beauty of Nouns is seeing different interpretations and executions, as opposed to everything conforming to set brand guidelines and execution strategies. This idea could work well for select client(s) but imo is too smol in vision for how big Nouns aims to become. In Nouncil call you said "Nouns will never be as big as Microsoft" whereas for me personally, that is precisely the goal here. krel.eth commented on 498: Nouns x Farcaster 4d My vwr for the Nouns x Farcaster round. This time, before reading the proposals i decided to form an opinion and jot down a few criteria that i could lean on and help inform my vote. This helped me judge props based on deeper running convictions, both specifically for nouns and more generally for building software. My votes are based on: 1. conviction in the founder(s), 2. how likely i am to use the product (as a nouns 'power user') 3. and as a distant third, does the idea have a shot at scaling nouns in an outsized way As for conviction in founders, these are some of the things i care about: * How well do they understand nouns (domain expertise) * How good are they at communicating their idea * Did they ship anything impressive in the past * How nimble and iterative do they seem (bias for smaller team size) * How likely are they to stick around after the 3 month term Moreover, after reading all the proposals, i had also formed a conviction against the all-in-one super-app. This approach is, in my (lived) experience, a sign that users' pain points are not quite well understood. While ending up as a super-app over time is definitely possible and something of a dream outcome, i struggled to find conviction in most of the proposals that set out with the all-in-one app idea as a primary design goal. With that in mind, i ended up voting for the following: * Noggled https://prop.house/0x767a3bdf2aa3b3201b794927a997fcf4e50d4702/25 * Expansion Packs https://prop.house/0x767a3bdf2aa3b3201b794927a997fcf4e50d4702/37 * 498 https://prop.house/0x767a3bdf2aa3b3201b794927a997fcf4e50d4702/38 * Nounster https://prop.house/0x767a3bdf2aa3b3201b794927a997fcf4e50d4702/17 Expand... seneca.eth voted against (1) 518: Future Disney Princess Wears Noggles To Build Wells in Africa 4d * drewcoffman.eth (abstained): While I appreciate the good intentions behind this proposal, and I want to be clear that providing clean drinking water to communities in need is an unquestionably worthy cause, I find myself unable to support the prop as it currently stands due to concerns about the media plan. Projects like this are opportunities to prove that communities like ours can be a real force for good in the world, going beyond onetime donations and forging deep, meaningful connections with the people and causes we support. I have a sense from Brennen’s vote that this is supposed to be the first step towards that — but I’m abstaining to prompt a discussion about how to build that level of connection into props, as well as kickstart a conversation about our goals and values as a community. We need to ask ourselves: How does charitable work like this align with our mission of proliferating Nouns? How are we sharing that work with the world? The promise of ‘getting coverage of boots on the ground’ and putting noggles on the project leader and having them thank the Nouns community feels directionally incorrect. It positions Nouns as a benefactor, puts the proposer on the hook for distribution, and also creates some strange optics (no pun intended) by requiring the ones doing charitable work to put noggles on as a ‘make good’ for funding. To truly be effective, proposals of this nature need to have a specific vision for how they plan to proliferate Nouns. Imagine if this proposal were rewritten to include an expanded media budget that funded screenings of a short documentary about the well project in key cities around the world. These events could serve as powerful educational opportunities, teaching attendees about the Nouns treasury and the transformative potential of an onchain internet that can democratize financial access. This approach could extend the reach and impact of the initiative far beyond our own crypto-native bubble, touching the lives of people who might never otherwise encounter our community.

There was apprehension around aspects like potential lack of due diligence, human exploitation and what nouns could be getting itself into. The proposal was presented during the Nouncil call so proposers were able to make their case, but ultimately the vote was divided and we must abstain as we didn't hit the vote threshold of 18.

My big issue, is how does the resources get consumed throughout the year? Do we have realistically a set of X hours we are billed against that equates to 500k for 1 year? How do new proposals get access to the agency and team to find opportunities? In general, I find the proposal a little too macro and not enough micro on how the funds get executed against nounish activations/events. In addition, too much high level corpo fluff is everywhere. Thank you for the input and kind words, Brennen! Most of the budget is allocated towards bringing on full-time teams, developing internal workflows, and access points for Nouns Cares. Our current engagement with brands like Nouns Shelter, Yellow, Nouns DAO Africa, and Nouns Esports demonstrates our approach to providing accessible and continuous support. Simple engagement methods through web, social media, email, or Discord will evolve into more structured channels, including a web portal, frames on Farcast, and a dedicated Discord channel—all under development. We'll continue to produce materials, creative content, campaigns, and events, enabling any prop, partner, or collaborator to participate and develop alongside us. With this in mind, I recommend referring to the sections 'What We Will Provide to Nouns,' 'Organizational Structure,' and 'This Means You!' Although we don't have a background in a traditional corporate environment, the language used here is intended to outline actionable items that have helped us scale independent brands (some generating over $22mm in annual sales) as well as corporate brand partners, as mentioned in our case studies and proposal. While the language may seem corporate, it's aimed at establishing a structured foundation. This approach is crucial when engaging with significant partners and integrating brands into the Nouns universe, especially for collaborations with leading lifestyle brands, charities, retailers, press, and commercial partners. Through this, we aim to evolve the Nouns standard and dispel the notion that structuring and evolving Nouns into the brand we envision requires a more thoughtful approach. This means taking steps towards maturity by having full-time members and providing them with the best materials and language to drive our collective success.
