How to Use Asana to Work Asynchronously
Asana is a task-tracking and project-planning system. It helps us coordinate our efforts so that we can accomplish more as a team than we can on our own. It also sets us up to work asynchronously, which is important for team sustainability. Asana is non-opinionated, meaning it doesn’t enforce a certain workflow. It’s essentially a bunch of TODO lists with linkages between tasks. This means that each team can set up their own, custom workflow. Here’s a simple example:List view on the left, Boa...

We Are the Black Flag 🏴
To be bankless is to seek freedom. Freedom to do what you want to do — to be who you want to be. Throughout history, people have hoisted the black flag in the face of authoritarian rule. The black flag is a declaration of our intent to be free. It is a symbol of our resolve. BanklessDAO was created to steward the bankless movement. We fly the black flag as a beacon for all freedom seekers; to create a space for us to gather and grow.We welcome all. Country, creed, age, language, race, religio...

Creating a Winnable Game
The BanklessDAO Grants Committee is one of the most central and visible groups in the DAO, and it’s also one of the least understood. During my time as the Grants Committee Lead in Season 4 and 5, I presided over some of the biggest ever changes to our grants processes. These changes resulted in a 5.8M BANK savings/deferral in S4, increased accountability via recorded project KPIs in S4 and S5, and strong guidance for Guilds/Departments in S6. By all accounts, these changes have been successf...

Password management is a common problem for small teams with limited budgets. This workflow will allow you to easily and securely share passwords within a team for free, using open-source, cross-platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android) software, KeePass.
KeePass is open-source software which uses an encrypted file to store your passwords. This file can be decrypted using a password or key file, and can be stored on a shared file storage system (like Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, etc). This combo allows you to share many passwords with others conveniently (on the cloud) and securely (encrypted).
Download a KeePass client
Create a New Database

Enter the Database Name and Description.
Use default values for Decryption Time and Database Format
Enter and confirm a password:
In general try to use something long, but easy to remember. An example would be “Making_KeePass_super_100!”
WRITE THIS PASSWORD DOWN
Save the file
At this point**,** you should have a password file which can be opened using a secret password.
Upload the file to a shared file storage system
If you use Dropbox or Google Drive, your team can share password additions and changes automatically using their offline sync mechanisms
You can also upload to a system like Notion, but will have to manually upload the file when you make changes and download the file when someone else makes changes
Share the password with your team via a voice chat or OneTimeSecret.com
Do NOT share the password via text chat or email
Now that you have shared the password, delete/swallow the password you wrote down above
Download a KeePass client
Download the shared database file
Open a Database File

Unlock the database using the shared password
Add a New Entry by right-clicking on the main window

Enter the Title, Username, Password, and login URL
You can also use the notes for things like security questions, one-time unlock keys, or anything else
Save the entry - it should show up under Root
You can now copy the username or password by right-clicking on the entry you just created (or using keyboard shortcuts)

If you are using an automatic storage system like Dropbox or Google Drive, you don’t have to do anything else - your team should have access to the new entry you created
If you are using a system like Notion, be sure to re-upload the file to share it with your team
