NounsOTG is a successfully passed and active on-chain prop today because NSFW (Small Grants) gave me a chance to proliferate in the first place at NFT NYC. The discretion of the current group has proven to be more than successful so far imo. I also agree with the conversation around additional members being added and a general discussion about other potential pods. OTG hopes to be more pod like in its next iteration. Thank you NSFW, 22 and the other members who give their time daily to field every single builder request that comes through Discourse and Discord.

A discretionary pool of capital that we can use to fund things quickly has been extremely valuable for the DAO — after looking through the notion doc I think 22 has done a great job curating projects so far. Also agree with the general sentiment that getting more people involved (especially since ETH outlays have become larger). But I think this is something that can be worked on during this round 🙂

I have seen firsthand many builders and artists empowered by grants from nsfw. I connected Aubtoshi with 22 and small grants after a couple near-miss prop house rounds, and the funding she received as a result of that started her nounish journey and gave us Nouns OTG. Another example would be Jhee, a talented artist from Korea who won a contest on The Noun Square. Benbodhi then connected her to nsfw and she was funded to launch a nounish collection as a result. I could cite many other examples, but the point is: I believe flexible and nimble capital is an important tool for the DAO. I also think 22 is a very committed and hard-working contributor who does a very good job of combing through discourse and DMs to find solid proposals to fund. Having said all of the above, I think more transparency with the day-to-day decision making of the pod would be good for the DAO generally. I also think that it could be a real unlock for nsfw if they were to explore empowering some focused sub-pods with ETH to help further decentralize the burden of uncovering and vetting fund-worthy projects. Eg. pods for different geographic areas or niche types of proposal. Happy to help brainstorm on this concept further with 22 if interested.

It’s good to have a discretionary service like this. I think there’s a lot of value in it. I’d like to see more of this in domain specific niches too.

Nouncil has voted YES unanimously to refill NSFW. A lot of prop builders got their start via NSFW funding and the potential for impact is large. Some Nouncillors posed the question who makes up the rest of the NSFW team with Noun22? during Nouncil calls - this was the only real feedback.

Voting for because I do feel NSFW is a great initiative. I do agree though with everything the nounders and others wrote and hope changes are made that address all the concerns expressed.

Initiatives like NSFW are important to be able to help motivate and incentivize builders in our ecosystem. I do however agree with the Nounders that it needs to be more decentralized with multiple voices. This does not mean that anyone has done a bad job. However, moving NSFW into a more decentralized pod with more participants that are anxiously engaged in voicing their opinions and impacting outcomes has a great deal of merit, this will also support 22 in his efforts so that all of the burdens dont fall solely on his shoulders as it is a lot of work liaising with all of the different requests. I am not voting against this proposal, because I know of all the good that can come out of this program for both the receivers of the rewards and the DAO, however, I would be a hell yes if this was a proposal that also included a full-time group/POD working on NSFW, sharing their knowledge, streamlining the process, coming up with more standardized rewards, and having the rewards/outcomes be more publicized across social media.

We like the idea of NSFW as an additional, nimble method to distribute funding from the Nouns DAO treasury. So far, the use of funds has been productive for the ecosystem, however were concerned that the level of accountability and transparency has not scaled with the amount of funding it has received. Pods should operate as minimum viable decentralized entities, with multiple members who are voicing opinions and having an impact on outcomes. NSFW is currently not structured this way. We want to ensure community projects get the benefit of a diversity of opinions and will vote to fund NSFW when there are multiple members actively involved with making decisions.

I believe reformulating how small grants is run would be for the best. A lot of good work has come out of it, but the current scale requires assessing how things have been done, and how can we improve moving forward.

NSFW serves a very important function, and 22 does a valiant job running it. However, im voting against based on a perceived lack of transparency and decentralization. When it comes to DAO operations, there is an obvious tension between speed/efficiency and decentralization. The tradeoffs on either side of this spectrum are very real and often hard to grapple with. Im mindful of that. But for a pod like this, theres a minimum level of decentralization that should be maintained, and its not clear to me if that is currently being met. Whether intentional or due to gravitational forces of path of least resistance, my perception is that NSFW currently errs too much on the side of efficiency. Ive given this considerable thought and am aware of the tradeoffs, but ultimately think its better for the daos longterm health and culture to push back and check itself in favor of preserving a high integrity re decentralization. Instead of simply refilling the wallet, I think its prudent to ask the dao how they think this role should be operated. I will vote For a proposal of this kind with a 3/5 multisig, a public channel of communication, and ideally a diverse set of (active) signers of different backgrounds and expertise to make sure we cover the full range of ideas and builders who seek retro funding/grants.

No doubt, small grants is important. It went through some changes over time however, and is imbalanced in terms of responsibility now. I am afraid if we continue increasing the pool size without scaling it into a small grants / NSFW pod that we concentrate too much power into the hands of an individual. It seems like a pod but it isn’t one. The DAO only compensates one person for it. Small grants needs a structural change to share the burden of responsibility and to mitigate risks. For a healthy future of the DAO we need to have a pod also to protect the DAO against black swan events. With more shared responsibility we can mitigate risks and distribute the burden of work load in a fair way. I would welcome it if we could have a discussion about this topic before we continue with this prop as it drew already quite some controversy.

<@881315476163141642> Hi could you support my development of AR-filters for SNS platforms? My version of Nouns-AR-filter on Instagram is getting momentum. You can see filter here https://www.instagram.com/ar/702277330935834/. You might have seen the filter in Sounds-of-Nouns jingles. --If NounsDAO decides to support this then:-1) I want to use some of the ETH to run community competitions to get more people share photos with AR-glasses on instagram-2) and make snapchat version of the filter.--Any amount of ETH would be appreciated. Many thanks
Nouns DAO decided to support the development of AR-filters for SNS platforms. They sent over 0.69420 ETH as a retroactive reward to fiveoceans_dev#5450 for their work on the Nouns-AR-filter on Instagram. They also expressed interest in funding the development of AR filters if fiveoceans_dev can bring something differentiated to what they already have.

<@!881315476163141642> How does one apply for retro funding?
There is no real application process for retro funding. Instead, you can share your ideas or what you have built with the community, and if it is something that proliferates nouns, it may qualify for funding.

<@!881315476163141642> what's the procedure behind retrofunding? Wasn't expecting that but certainly is welcomed. As the nouns ecosystem grows I'll keep adding updates to the app.
The procedure behind retrofunding in the Nouns DAO is not set in stone, but they look to reward things that members think are cool. In this case, small grants rewarded Alex with 0.69 ETH for his contributions.

<@887388323730042991> and <@529650701102481439> could you provide some insight into what topics you will cover on panels and how Nouns will be included?
Will#4129: Thanks <@497119763286196225>! Since a panel discussion is included in the event sponsorship, our team would love to shine a spotlight on Prop 70, the concept of story foundations, and how Nouns is at the forefront of the Film3 movement (not only with 70, but also 29, 32, and 53).--Our group of writers (members from teams 1 and 2) will be available to speak at the event, and we would love to bring other writers from Prop 70 on stage. We can talk about the intersection of decentralization and the media industry using Prop 70 as a lens to talk about the future of entertainment. And because this event is the epicenter of the Film3 movement, we’re excited to generate buzz about the work Prop 70 teams are doing and Noun’s overall role in this artistic movement.--Garfield#9628: Hi <@881315476163141642> ! Just adding to what <@529650701102481439> has above, MiguelFaus, the filmmaker behind Calladita which is at the heart of Prop 53 will also be at the event, and it will be an opportunity to feature Nouns in the context of the work that he's doing. Ultimately, it's a chance for Nouns/NounsDAO to really establish itself at the center of this movement towards decentralized storytelling. There will be press there, and with a strong Nouns presence as the only CC0 project in the space, its a chance to leverage all that's happening in Film3 and really put a Nounish spin on it. In many ways, Nouns are the ones pushing the envelope of what's possible with decentralized storytelling, and this is a change to get the word out beyond the web3 community.

Appreciate the quick response!--for 1 & 2 - what I'm mostly looking for is articles I can share on Twitter, key highlights I can use as talking points when speaking about Nouns, marketing bits we can pull from all this activity. There's so much going on to celebrate! Like, if Nouns.wtf had a press release section, I would definitely want a wrap-up article of the luxury sunglasses titled Do You Believe?-3 - Understandable, and I don't really want to cast stones at projects or label them as failures, moreso I want to preserve lessons learned and try to share those lessons across Nouns.-4 - I totally agree that having the committee operate more on intuition right now is working quite well, and honestly could be a strong way to operate in the long term too. I think, rather than guidelines or rules, I'm hoping for documentation of the intuition so whatever you're learning can translate to other groups in Nouns. No major rush on this one, and maybe it takes a few more cycles before you even want to communicate all of this, but it would be insight I'd love to read at some point.
For articles and key highlights to share on Twitter and talking points about Nouns, you can refer to the Nouns Grants Twitter account (https://twitter.com/NounsGrants) and the newsletters mentioned by Noun 22#2222. They are working on improving the distribution of information, and they acknowledge that more people should know how easy it is to get funded to work on the project. Noun 22#2222 also mentioned that they are inspired to write out some lessons from the last 6 months and try to map out their vision for the future.

Curious if there could be a SG Prop.House that could be created where anything under 3ETH gets funded at a certain threshold. Say 2x Quorum? ie 80 Nouns vote FOR funding and it's automatically approved
Having 80 Nouns vote on individual small stuff doesn't scale since getting that level of interest/attention is only possible for bigger proposals. At a smaller scale, there is the prop house that can get a lot of attention for a large, but not unlimited, number of prizes. Prop house captures and channels attention into rounds. Alternatively, small grants can be used, in which a few people decide to fund stuff without needing everyone to weigh in.

Discourse link doesn’t work!--What would you do with the carpets once they were finished?
The carpets would be used in various ways after they are finished. One carpet would be given away via lottery to the NounsDAO community, and the second would be put up for auction. If there is a lot of interest, they could explore schemes to deliver the carpets to a wider audience, such as offering special discounts or giving carpets as gifts to important Nouns members or public figures.

Hey everybody! My name is Mike, I’m an artist from Russia. Recently I finally got invited to https://foundation.app, an invite-only NFT platform. I’ve been thinking about a space theme artwork with the NOUN glasses(I’d share it here when it’s finished). I have a question, as far as you’re supporting the artists who are popularizing the Nouns, would it be possible for the team to cover the minting+listing costs? Because these prices nowadays are enormous and I simply can’t afford it😑 It would really mean a lot to me!-Waiting for the response-Be safe!
Yes, the Nouns DAO team agreed to cover the minting and listing costs for Mike Gavrilov's artwork. Noun 22#2222 confirmed that they would fund reasonable gas fees to get the artwork published. Mike provided his wallet address, and the funds were transferred to him. Additionally, they agreed on a 30/70 split auction, where 30% of the funds received for the work would be sent to the small grants and retro funding ETH address.

hey everyone .. quick question... was reading this proposal... was wondering why it said this at the end ? is it better to fund through grants and retro funding ?
DrMints#9237 asked why a proposal mentioned funding through grants and retro funding. Noun 22#2222 explained that the person needed a specific USD amount, so they sent extra ETH to Small Grants to account for volatility and then sent the precise amount of ETH 7+ days later after the proposal passed and was executed.

Hey frens - I posted this in <#943943469821476944> regarding Proposal 43, but this channel is probably a better place for the questions:--```This is an obvious yes from me, Small Grants has been capturing a lot of incoming people and guiding them into funding. This is becoming an essential part of the Nouns ecosystem. But that being said, this doubles the budget, I still think public discussion is helpful. Some thoughts from me:-- - would love if completed Small Grants projects had summary reports, sharable press release links with pictures of completed projects.- - From your last ETH refill what were the success stories?- - are there any projects that weren't successful that lessons have been learned from?- - is there a general mandate being developed? a set of criteria being developed for evaluating proposals?```
From the conversation, it seems that the questions were addressed in the direct replies by Noun 22#2222 and seneca#8660. Here are the answers based on their replies:--1. They agree with the idea of having summary reports and sharable press release links with pictures of completed projects. They are working on improving the display and distribution of information related to funded projects.--2. The success stories can be found in the provided Notion link: https://www.notion.so/noun22/Nouns-DAO-Small-Grants-ac22114a6c004bafa500e2d824e32dc3. Some funded projects include jingles, nouns athletes, functional glasses, newsletters, luxury glasses, video games, and FOMO Nouns.--3. Many of the projects are still in progress, so it's too early to call any of them a failure at this stage.--4. They do not want to institute rigid guidelines that will limit flexibility. However, they are working on making it easier for people to apply and understand the program. They are also considering formalizing processes and documentation for transparency and setting precedents for future sub-orgs within the DAO.

hey guys — first, apologies for dropping this all here. My Discourse account on hold for some reason? but wanted to share updates on Nouns basketball project and submit to community for preference on next steps: --Bootstrapped through the initial Nouns basketball samples with my factory and love where they’ve landed. Brought the project through PropHouse for a first level democratic blessing and retrofund sampling / development costs and set the table for production. --Opened design dialogue with community in PropHouse channel and got some great thoughts from the family about this piece and some fun, big ideas for the next phase. --Now on the other side of design conversations, wanted to advance the project up the pipeline into Small Grants to get funding for production. Including here pricing from my factory for each tier of quantity — we collectively can decide how ambitious we want to get and proceed accordingly. As I’m submitting to the DAO to fund production, the balls would be owned by the community and everyone can collectively decide how best to distribute: gifts to all nouners, giveaway opportunities, e-commerce, seeding to friends / family / media, etc. --Full disclosure, a Lil Noun companion mini-basketball piece is going through an on-chain vote now to fund production of 500 pieces there — as some quantity context (and happy to appeal to Small Grants funding or go On Chain here as well for production if preferred)--let me know what everyone thinks, thanks yall!-vs
vsvsvs#7829 is seeking feedback and funding for the Nouns basketball project. They have already bootstrapped the initial samples and are now looking to advance the project into Small Grants for production funding. They are open to producing different quantities based on the community's preference.--JoshuaFisher#0001 suggests producing 500 basketballs to hit a significant price break and believes they will find ways to utilize them. vsvsvs#7829 clarifies that the Lil Noun production is separate and already underway. They need around 14k to produce 500 full-sized Nouns basketballs. Noun 22#2222 suggests starting with a small run to see traction before committing more funding. vsvsvs#7829 agrees and mentions that their factory has a 50-piece minimum, so they can start with a smaller batch. They also discuss various ideas for distributing the basketballs, such as gifting to Lil Holders, giveaways, seeding to friends/family/press, and potentially setting up an e-commerce site.

hi all, I've got some proposals up for making merch/physicals supporting noun punks (currently 69 votes, heh) and the lil nouns (in process on discourse) and I'd like to make a proposal to make nouns the main brand featured at the top of my nounish ecommerce site, with extensions in their own categories, and perhaps other cc0 relations of nounish projects too.-I'd also love to work with the community to get ideas of what might be of interest to create some special nounish merch/physicals to commemorate the upcoming birthday on 8/8. since time is verrrrrrry short for all of this, and I have a trip planned for the middle of this month, what do you all think would be the best way/place to propose this and ask for feedback? I'd love to spend the time this month to really build this out properly and have token gating that could include creating NFT token rewards for both nouns and extension holders to claim or be airdropped, which could then be redeemed for free or discounted physical items. Any thoughts, yay or nay? is this even the right channel? any help greatly appreciated!
Noun 22#2222: SG can be a source of quick funding for this! but im not sure the best way to solicit ideas. generally speaking i like when artists and creatives follow their inspiration, i think that produces the best results. but i imagine you could get some input on Discourse or <#855538581434007635>

Hi, I think it is a great idea to make light illuminated noggles. I would like to put my reputation and make a high quality prototype. The prototype will help us understand demand and manufacturing ability to meet New Years Eve deadline. Here is a draft of the proposal. https://hackmd.io/@fiveoceans/SJxQOiRT9--1. The light noggles can be used to flood Times Square on Dec 31st-2. The light noggles can be sent to many noun friends around the world to celebrate New year.--<@881315476163141642> do you think manufacturing of the prototype is something NSFW would be able to fund? I would need to rent a manufacturing facility for a couple days to make frames, order lenses, and try different electrical components.
fiveoceans_dev#5450 asked if NSFW would be able to fund the manufacturing of a light illuminated noggles prototype. Noun 22#2222 asked about the anticipated cost and experience, to which fiveoceans_dev#5450 responded with a budget estimate of 5 ETH and shared their experience and resources for creating the prototype. However, there is no clear confirmation from Noun 22#2222 or any other member about whether the funding will be provided or not.

I am not a big fan of committee based decisions but I would love to know what you guys think about just having the glasses as the only branding statement on the piece? the logo is nice but feels too loud. if this is indeed the SWOOSH of the metaverse lets drive that part home from the beginning. thoughts? Check out the crisp new bevel on the frame too.
Based on the conversation, Bigshot Klim#1853's question about using just the glasses as the only branding statement was answered by maty#0984, who agreed that the full NOUNS text is a bit loud and suggested using just an N or the glasses alone. Bigshot Klim#1853 then decided to use the glasses alone and keep the name on the packaging elements and the AR/QR activation.

Just figured out that all applications for small grants are posted here not in <#875751366340005908>.--I would love to take a challenge to bring to life two nounish carpets!--Here is my discourse proposal for 6 eth to make 2 carpets. -https://discourse.nouns.wtf/t/small-grants-persian-nounish-carpet/1172-What do you think? <@881315476163141642>
The purpose of the proposal is to understand public interest in nounish carpets, the manufacturing cost, and logistics. After evaluating the first samples, fiveoceans_dev#5450 thinks it would be best to give away one carpet via lottery to the NounsDAO community and put the second on an auction. This would provide data to understand how many people want a carpet and how many people want to pay for a carpet. If there is a lot of interest, they suggest schemes to deliver the carpets to a wider audience, such as special discounts or giving carpets as gifts to important Nouns members or public figures.

oh awesome. that video is great. i'm assuming we'd some kind of similar content to share for the Nouns event? i'm checking with the group but I think we should do this. given the 50% move in ETH to the upside, does that bring down our ETH cost at all?
Given the 50% move in ETH to the upside, the ETH cost will be brought down. The ideal approach would be to take the USD total cost and do the conversion rate at the time of funding.

Quick blerp! I started designing and pondering a financial literacy board game a few years back. It will be digital with potential to produce physical sets. It just so happened to bring the prototype with me on my little excursion to Mexico. When I came across Nouns I got fucking hyped and pulled out olé faithful.--I still need to finish the SDS, but almost everything is already laid out in my noggin. --I am having a hard time connecting it with the noun esthetic, BUTTT the purpose of the game is use real world scenarios to teach people the basic personal finance and investment skills that school just so happened to bypass. I am hoping with this game I could help people free themselves from the cyclic path of financial struggle. To me that's pretty dang nounish.--Would love to collab with some others to help me with the coding and final design.--What chall think?
It is suggested that the financial literacy board game idea could be more centric to Nouns or at least NFTs to better align with the Nouns DAO's goals. One possibility is to include Noun characters as an option or have a Nounish loading screen.

Quick question about Small Grants. --I shared this idea in <#855538581434007635>, and I think there’s something there but it’s still rough. I’d love to flesh it out further and create a prototype to help validate the concept. That feels like something that’s more work than what might be covered in a 2 eth prop house round, but less than a 25 eth combinator round or an on-chain proposal. --Is Small Grants the right venue for something like this?
Small Grants could be the right venue for your idea, as it seems to fall between the scope of a 2 ETH prop house round and a 25 ETH combinator round or an on-chain proposal. You have already submitted your expanded concept in the governance mandated prop house round, which now serves both the builder audience and the governance audience by displaying builder profiles alongside proposals.

This is all really cool.

How would you go about setting all of that up?
Mono#0420 and their team have experience throwing real-world events. They collaborated with Espacio Cripto, a local podcast focused on crypto, and hosted an event for around 400 attendees where they set up a gallery to showcase the art of around 25 artists and conducted in-person interviews with some of them. They will be in charge of operations, concept, and graphic design, and will collaborate with specialists to make the event possible. They have provided a list of collaborators for various aspects of the event, such as photo set design, piñatas, merchandise, and games.

yes, re-sharing same thoughts i said in our DM--i think 10E is a lot for a first funding, i would rather see you build out some kind of proof of concept or be able to better articulate you vision since i don't feel like i know what the end vision is from your discourse post. i understand the opportunity in mobile games, but what is this game? why will people play it? i came into this space from being a gamer and i think crypto vastly underestimates the difficult of making a game-if bogdan is a game developer i would like to see him articulate his vision for this game a little better than currently presented
The question seems to be about the vision for the mobile game and whether 10 ETH is too much for initial funding. In the direct reply, Bubits#1913 explains that the game will resemble pixel art and will have multiple games within it. They mention that people would play it because they enjoy coloring games, it's suitable for children, and there will be no ads. Bubits#1913 also suggests that they could put in the work first and then ask for funds.

hi all- after my FedEx shipment shows up and I know absolutely 100% that I will be bringing my noggles pins and cufflinks to NFTnyc, I plan to write a request for retro funding on discourse. this being my first time, I also wanted to say that I am having so much fun designing with/for nouns. the community is so kind, welcoming, positive and builder-ing which I appreciate so much. I know I mostly only post about the things I'm making and it can seem kinda... shill-y? the truth is that I'm so bullish on this community and trying to add value in my own way, with my knowledge, experience and strengths. I often feel more confident in my work than in my self, even tho I have total imposter syndrome, so... not sure how that works but I def kinda hide behind my work...? anyway that's a super long and oversharing way of saying I just appreciate the community and don't have any expectations that the retro request will be funded.

Related idea: would a faucet for 0.1eth claims from treasury for nouners at some interval make sense? --To further incentivize participation and remove blockers--I get that gas fees are peanuts for many nouners but prob not for everyone?--<@372465201808670721> <@410593947027505162> thoughts?

team, does the fund have enough of a balance to consider funding Proper Nouns? might be a good candidate: https://discourse.nouns.wtf/t/proposal-proper-nouns/328/14--cc <@790736816717824010>

Thanks Lifty, the proposal right now is to design engineer and prototype a model that we can use to estimate the tooling, production and packaging , logistics costs. I put together a quick estimate to get that started and put it in the discource. it would cover everything including some prototypes to get us to the LETS GO MAKE THESE stage , I am not a fan of quoting on things without a prototype , but I am confident that we can land these at a reasonable price. Reasonable for a high quality item that is not meant as a cheap throwaway. But once the protos are done we cam have a conversation about use. Is it a gimmick you can give away and people can trash em or is it an event specific limited edition collectible that people can keep, trade or flip?

that would definitely impact the ask. or maybe this should be broken up into 2 things, 1. creation of the store with more web3 and noun proper designs and 2. the birthday celebration ideas?

this is almost ready to go to the next stage. Designing packaging now and thinking about the SRP. I want to add a small keychain charm as well, but not sure what the final pricing limitation would be for this item. If this would be a for sale item or a free giveaway? Personally i think that it should be as amazing as it can be, but is there a ceiling for which non crypto people would not buy? So many questions that are just as important as how cool is this?

Woah... good idea!--I've personally played such a game (localized to my country), and it was pretty fun - with both IRL aspects of the board and the device for an added effect of the digital touch.--However perhaps you could build something more centric to Nouns, or at the very least NFTs? Sponsoring something like this may not really proliferate the Nouns, if you get what I mean haha.--But still fantastic idea 🙂

Wondering if nouns could fund some crypto meetup (crypto drinks in HK, over 150-200 people monthly)? I feel like the upcoming christmas crypto drinks could be a great opportunity to let HK know about the nouns project. Its usually sponsored by exchanges, blockchain app etc... It would be new and shocking to see a NFT project and a DAO do some promotion.

would NSFW consider funding 1 ETH to early builders to be allocated by lilpandas.wtf DAO, but NOT to be used to buy lil pandas?

yes, the full NOUNS text is a bit loud, did you consider using just an N? if not, i think the glasses alone are a great choice as well 🙂
