aunt homieTest Dao Quick Tips: How to Not Fail at Gnosis-Safe
You ever wonder “sweet, I’m a multi-sig signer” life is going to be great! Right??Life is indeed great as a multi sig signer, (or a multi signatory for the cultured of us). You get to have a say in what compensation gets to be approved, and sometimes, you get airdrops! We love airdrops! You can feel that special twinkle of joy in your spirit when you’re voted in as a multi sig, or chosen, or volunteered. Of course, being a multi signatory comes with its own pains, struggles, and annoyances. I...
aunt homieHomies Podcast Thoughts: Crypto Sapiens x Farcaster
I spend time interacting, contributing, and having a good time in the Crypto Sapiens Community. One of my favorite things to do is to stumble around web3 apps and try not to get lost. I’ve been wandering around the web3 ecosystem since 2021, trying to figure things out. I’ve been contributing to crypto sapiens since the spring of 2022, and it’s been a pretty inspirational journey. It's fun to learn about the people who make this ecosystem as exciting as it can be. I wanted to take some t...

Hope Everyone is well.
I’ll be blogging about my journey in building a DAO over the next few months, so you all can learn along with me. In a sense, you guys will be traveling along with me in this Test DAO journey.
Building out a “DAO” (and I use that term lightly) is a very tricky experience. In my adventures, I’ve come across some life lessons, and some learnings along the way. The goal of Test DAO is to bring contributors from outside of Web3 to a better understanding of the DAO Ecosystem, crypto, and all things decentralization.
The main issues I’ve run into upon entering the DAO world circles around a few different themes.
Personally I’ve enjoyed my time in building Test DAO. I’ve met new friends who I’m inspired by, and I’ve brought in good friends of mine that I’ve known for a while. I’ve even created lettucemeets to plan for meeting times.
I hate lettucemeet, but I’m a big enough person to use a lettucemeet, so I’ll keep using the lettucemeet. Google lettucemeet if you’re curious about it.
Here’s two thoughts that I’ve had in building a DAO. More to come of course.
People will jump on your face and scratch your eyes out if a bounty is involved. I’ve run into plenty of arguments dealing with bounties. I’m just happy this is not an in person situation when dealing with bounties. I’m a lover, not a fighter.
I understand that money is very important, and I’m probably dealing with inflation just as hard as the next guy. But man, I cant handle random people arguing with me about claiming bounties.
A solution to bounty hunter induced fights?
Clarity. Being clear when it comes to the amount of bounties available, and being clear with the amount a contributor will be able to receive.
Clarity will always set you free. We can fight until we’re blue in the face, but we don’t have to if we make the bounty situation clear for bounties in DAOs. People who are in it for the money are allowed to be. We all have to be able to survive. How we survive best, especially in this uncertain world, is by promoting clarity in all that you do. Especially in the world of Web3.
I’ve been so unbelievable scared of how to push Test DAO forward. I’ve been dueling with contributors who only wanted money. I’ve been dealing with fantastic grants who have turned down my ideas, and I’ve dealt with grants that did not even attempt to look my proposal. I’ve also dealt with other contributors who’ve talked a lot of talk, with no follow through. It’s been a long journey trying to learn about building a DAO, and I’m grateful for going through this process.
My main focus while I build Test DAO is to have confidence in my abilities, and to have faith that I’ll achieve my goals, no matter how many times I get turned down during the process. I know I’m going to deal with the same misogynistic, homophobic, prejudiced people I normally deal with in tradfi.
We haven’t learned to grow from our implicit biases yet. While I hope that there will be a day when people wont cling so much to their preconceived notions, I have to understand that we have a long way to go before those thoughts become a reality. Kind of like how everyone thought me, a 36 year old woman, thought I was an older man. Which is ok!
Short thoughts for now of course. My journey has just started in learning about building a DAO. It’s been the journey of a life time. I’m going to keep going, and learn more as I go. Its a fun adventure. I’ll let you guys know more about what I’ve learned along the way.
