Hello @Polkadot friends VOTE NAY to referendum 144, we are currently going to pause the proposal, we noticed an unusual activity on our account regarding comments on YouTube videos, so we spoke to the marketing agency that does our external marketing (We only create the content, the person responsible for marketing who manages the page) and the activities carried out on the account were questioned
(Our statistics regarding views and likes are correct, however we noticed that the comments do not match the content!)
. We were informed that paid promotions (ads) were carried out for the respective pages and videos, but we noticed that there were comments that did not match our content. In this way, making it part of something we do not agree with. The quality of our content and the educational way we deal with the community does not change, however, as we do not support activities such as those highlighted, we chose to suspend the respective proposal. We will continue making videos about Polkadot, educating the community and bringing the best content as we always do. We will take all reasonable steps to identify the source of activities we do not recognize and remedy them. Our actions:
1- We will cancel the agency&rsquo;s marketing service provision 2-We will suspend the promotion through paid promotions (ads) 3-We will pause the proposal to align with the correct and honest standards of the Polkadot community
We reaffirm our commitment and objective to foster the Portuguese-speaking community and continue to be the reference on @Polkadot in Brazil

Short description:
We are a Brazilian channel (Verbo da Sabedoria) that brings educational content to the Portuguese speaking community (Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique) through videos, articles and also dubbing. The team consists of John Rhodel (Parachainboy), Carlos Sawaki (CJ) and Gabriel Bonugli (Gabekoin), We request retroactive funding for 4 videos produced about news from the Polkadot ecosystem. We'll request funds every 4 videos. Thus always keeping the delivery in the first place and ordering after reaching the goals.

Why portuguese speakers and Brazil?
Brazil has stood as one of the world's leading economies, and in 2022, the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) amounted to a staggering BRL 9.9 trillion. This figure reflects the sum of all wealth produced within Brazilian territory during that year, underscoring Brazil's importance on the global economic stage.
Looking at the latest data, we can see that in the first quarter of 2023, Brazil's GDP reached BRL 2,556.5 billion. This suggests that the Brazilian economy maintained a strong and steady pace of growth, which is a positive sign for the future.
<img src="https://i.ibb.co/18y8vd5/Tips-01-BR.png" alt="" width="753" height="317" />
Brazil and Crypto:
According to new data released by the Federal Revenue Service, Brazil now has almost 10 million cryptocurrency investors, the highest number since the agency began receiving declarations of digital assets from individuals and brokers based in the country.
In the report for the month of April, the Revenue registered 1,996,165 CPFs (Brazilian individual taxpayer registry identification) involved in crypto transactions, 19.2% more than in March. The number of CNPJs (National Registry of Legal Entities) also increased: for the first time, it surpassed 65,000.
The growth occurred amid a broad recovery of Bitcoin in the first months of the year. Now, the digital currency rose strongly and briefly reached $30,000, almost a 100% increase compared to its worst moment in 2022, in November..
Brazil, the largest and most populated country in Latin America, has emerged as a significant player in digital and financial technology, fueled by its young median age of 32 and high mobile and internet usage rates. The country boasts around 212 million inhabitants and is ranked fifth globally in terms of cryptocurrency ownership.Brazil is the fifth largest cryptocurrency market on the planet, behind only India, USA, Russia and Nigeria, as shown by the study carried out by Binance and TripleA. Currently, more than 10 million Brazilians invest in assets, already surpassing the approximately 4 million Brazilian investors in B3 (like nasdaq and sp500 for brazilians).

Rejected

Small Tips retroactive for Content in Portuguese UPDATED (Vote Nay - if you set AYE Change your vote to NAY)

Dear community,
Thank you for your assistance with helping to close and refund deposits associated with governance 1.0 proposals.
It was one of the first treasury proposals in Gov 1. That time it was not much experience , and we all experimented.
At the end of this story we provided the content, and promises we did and get financed it by the several tips for our videos.
It will be great to refund this deposit , as community did for other similar cases. It will be fair and finally close this page.
This proposal seeks to refund Alex PromoTeam (15G4hfDNtNhRc82As8Ep2YfvpM5xVdX7De3P9qSdHerGA6wC) with 100 DOT for my original proposal. The rejected proposal can be found here.&nbsp; &mdash;&nbsp;<a href="../treasury/11">https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/11</a>
Thanks for support .

Refunding AlexPromoTeam GOV1 Treasury Spend Deposit

Dear community,
Thank you for your assistance with helping to close and refund deposits associated with governance 1.0 proposals. When<a href="73"> the proposal </a>was initiated there were already four (4) proposals already seeking reimbursement, to avoid double spends these refunds were excluded from the batch.
Now that these referenda have concluded without success I am inclined to also request refunds for their deposits to be equitable.
This proposal seeks to refund MIDL.DEV (13EAhGcpe93mqSFZQrQ4P2cfpdAo5txWc5UQVTfEKDoqZjhw) with 212.8825 DOT for their <a href="../treasury/274">original proposal</a>.&nbsp; The rejected proposal can be found <a href="10">here</a>.
Disclaimer &amp; Context: This particular effort to refund participants is limited in scope to those who had proposals on the spend queue at the onset of Open Gov on Polkadot. A coordinated effort was required to avoid potential duplicate returns of deposits. If you feel aggrieved due to a proposal outside the scope of this exercise I suggest that you open an independent referenda.

It can be tedious to track staking rewards for different blockchains and to calculate your income in fiat.

Depending on your country of residence, different rules for taxation may apply. For instance, staking rewards can be taxable at the moment of payout, based on the value of the reward in fiat.

To easily display staking rewards in fiat currency, I created [https://polkatax.com/](https://polkatax.com/)

On the website, you can find and export staking rewards for several substrate chains in your favorite fiat currency.

The project is open source: [https://shorturl.at/qBOZ9](https://shorturl.at/qBOZ9)

If you find [https://polkatax.com/](https://polkatax.com/) useful, please consider supporting this proposal.

Warning: The application hasn't been extensively tested by a large number of users yet, so I recommend verifying the results for accuracy. If you encounter any issues, please open an issue on [GitHub](https://shorturl.at/qBOZ9).

If many people find this website helpful, I plan to implement a function to find and export token rewards for lending, providing liquidity, and airdrops as well.

A small tip for a staking rewards calculator

**Background**

I am [the only Polkadot Ambassador in Finland](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomiastikainen/), so far.

I have been working tirelelssly to establish the basis for a local community here up north, completely on a voluntary basis. As part of that slow but steady progress, I found organisers for one of the four European Polkadot Decoded Viewing Parties and I've encouraged other people to become candidates in the Ambassadors program. I have also created connections to reliable crypto influencers and citizen journalists.

**Hopium Podcast**

Hopium is a Finnish language podcast about crypto and blockchain, available on Spotify and on YouTube. It is a citizen journalism initiative outside of our "Dotsama bubble". I was invited to talk about Polkadot in their 44th episode. You can listen to it here (in Finnish):

https://spotify.link/VqfVZyASVBb

This was the first time ever that Polkadot is discussed in any Finnish media. Based on the feedback received, it will not be the last one. The hosts would like to do a follow up episode, delving deeper into Polkadot DeFi. I'll be sure not to do that interview alone.

**Time investment**

Although the groundwork has taken months, the preparation for this podcast specifically was about eight hours and the recording itself about two hours. In reality, I've used much more time. See, this is my first ever OpenGov proposal and the second time I try. **First time failed because I chose a wrong preimage.** I want to do this right so I can confidently instruct others how to submit proposals later on.

**Tip**

The tip that I’m asking for is for 10 hours of work, 5 DOT per hour, **50 DOT in total**.

**Reasoning**

Polkadot community activation from scratch is an arduous process. On our journey to futher 'human decentralization', those who represent Polkadot in the media and initiate the conversations that matter should get tips as incentives, at least before the on-chain Ambassadors Collective is in full steam.

**Please vote Aye** to show that all this learning through trial and error matters.

**Background info:** This is a an update to [Referenda #69](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/69), that had a faulty preimage.

 

This is a proposal to tip 100 DOT for an ecosystem App Store that acts as a "front-page" for discovering Polkadot projects.

 

The MVP is live on: https://dotappstore.com

The codebase is open-source, available on github: https://github.com/iammasterbrucewayne/dotappstore.

 

Polkadot lacks a user-friendly application discovery platform, making it difficult for projects and users to find each other.

The current options like https://www.dotmarketcap.com/ and https://polkaproject.com/#/ have too much information, and leave the user overwhelmed and confused.

 

This app store is an attempt to create a listing platform for all projects building in the ecosystem and present them in a way that's familiar to users.

 
 

**Potential follow on work:** (out of scope for this proposal)

 

- Project search and filter features
- Dynamic app-specific pages
- User authentication for:
- Community upvote counter to rate projects
- Permissionless project listing

 
 
**Community response:**

 

- The App Store had 112 Unique visitors within 24 hours of launch:
![image](https://i.ibb.co/7SfXKrp/6475-batman-1688912526373.png)

- Received 11 responses and listing requests for 15+ projects on the [tweet](https://twitter.com/i_am_master_b/status/1677677899267166208) published yesterday, asking the community for inputs.

- Received positive response from active community members, SS below:

**Request to all voters**

 

I would love to get your feedback on the proposal and get your suggestions as inputs to shape the product.

 

I think this could be a consumer-friendly initiative to reduce information asymmetry for onboarding non-technical users to the ecosystem.

 

Do let me know what you think. Happy to answer any and all questions that you may have!

 

**Additional info**

 

To be clear, the amount requested in this proposal ONLY accounts for the development work that's already been completed. It is a retro-active funding proposal.

 

The requested amount is 100 DOT @ 5 USD -> 500 USD.

[FAULTY PREIMAGE, PLEASE REJECT] A Polkadot Ecosystem App Store

======================================
As commented by Radhakrishna no chat bot will be deployed anytime soon on the polkadot wiki.
&nbsp;If you still would like to fund the development and testing of the chat bot please vote with aye, otherwise reject the proposal&nbsp;
======================================
I made a chatbot called "PolkaBot" using the data from the <a href="https://wiki.polkadot.network/">polkadot wiki</a>. The bot is available <a href="https://polkabot.org/">here</a> and currently in an alpha version.
It uses the API provided by openai under the hood and can access some real time data, such as the price of DOT or current staking rate via subscan.io.
If this proposal is approved
<ul>
<li>I will contact the polkadot wiki guys and try to integrate the chatbot into the polkadot wiki Fix existing bugs Make the project open source</li>
<li>There will be maintenance costs which are not part of this proposal. These costs are:</li>
<li>The fees for running the server (~$15 per month) Costs for the GTP openai API. The cost depends on the amount of people using it Costs for syncing of the polkadot wiki with the chatbot. The bot needs to be updated from time to time to keep up with the information on the wiki page. This process takes around 1h.</li>
</ul>
I will ask for reimbursement of these fees retrospectively.
Thank you for considering this proposal.
The requested amount is 250 DOT.

This is a proposal to tip 40 DOT for a 25-minute debrief video on Gavin Wood's speech on Polkadot 2.0

https://youtu.be/GWPZDB-WsnE

Polkadot 2.0 is a very current and relevant topic and I believe it is important to disseminate the information within our community and make it more easily accessible to the overall crypto community. The video explains the perspective shift of Polkadot 2.0 that Gavin Wood presented at Decoded 2023. It goes on to present Core Rental and Accord.

The requested amount is 40 DOT @ 5 USD -> 200 USD.

25-minute contextual primer on Polkadot 2.0

> If validators are the beating heart of Polkadot, governance is the brain that keeps it healthy.

**Proposal**

This proposal is to research the scope of a project called [GovernGoofed](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13in-4Ww4zAkKsBrzbW9THkXEgBQLyM00Bwo3JDNb1oM/edit?usp=sharing) and attract contributors. GovernGoofed wants to offer a solution to 3 of the most challenging aspects of **OpenGov1:** **participation, rewards, education.**

The requested amount for this proposal is symbolic.

This proposal has 3 goals:

- Explain the scope of the GovernGoofed project.
- Research the cost and ideal approach.
- Attract contributors for the project.

> What is GovernGoofed?

**Problem**

- There’s a lack of participation in the governance and treasury proposals in the Dotsama ecosystem. 
- There’s no real incentive for Dot holders to vote on proposals 
- There’s often little knowledge about proposals

**Solution**

- Make the act of voting more visible and cool.
- Incentivise voting with non-financial rewards, so people vote for the right reason.
- Create a tool/community that explains the most important proposals in a non-technical way


**How?**

The GovernGoofed solution consists out of 3 parts

**PART 1: Making participation in voting visible and cool.**

Part one of GovernGoofed is a Dapp where people can upload their favourite pfp. The Dapp is a goofmachine that then changes/goofes the pfp according to the amount of votes a user made. By this it leverages the existing NFT communities inside the Polkadot ecosystem to visualise the participation of their members in the Polkadot governance.

How? 

Voters can upload their favourite pfp to a Dapp. 
The Dapp tracks and takes in to account the amount of votes and according to the votes it goofes -> changes the pfp. I.e. 10 votes ‘goofes’ the pfp slightly, 50 votes changes it more, 100 votes ‘goofes’ the pfp drastically. 
The pfp’s are interpreted and changed by a trained AI. The AI uses re-occuring features that are recognizable in other goofed NFT’s.

**PART 2: Incentivising voting**

Each goofed NFT holders participates automatically in a raffle. The winners of the raffle are rewarded with benefits such as:

- Being invited to a Polkadot Decoded event, flight & hotel costs are covered by the GovernGoofed treasury.
- The winners can spend x amount of DOT supporting a Dotsama project such as [Teddie Dao](https://teddydao.org/) or any other project.
- Other options to be explored

So in essence the benefits by voting will be real, but they increase the participation of the voters in the ecosystem rather than voters being financially rewarded.

**PART 3: Educational**

GovernGoofed is a media platform that educates about the current running proposals by giving a stage to proposers and voters. 
It uses known channels such as YT, Twitter, Discord etc. to give a voice to proposers in order to give insight in their proposal.

A full visual presentation of the project can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13in-4Ww4zAkKsBrzbW9THkXEgBQLyM00Bwo3JDNb1oM/edit?usp=sharing).

GovernGoofed, a proposal to tackle 3 of the most challenging issues in OpenGov V1

This is part one of a two-part request aimed at reimbursing a total of 1100 DOT in deposits.

The DOT is presently locked up across 3 Gov 1 Treasury proposals, all of which have been requested to be rejected:

[https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/247](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/247) - 100 DOT locked
[https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/248](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/248) - 500 DOT locked
[https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/251](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/251) - 500 DOT locked

This small tipper track proposal aims to recover the 100 DOT locked in #247.

The other big tipper track proposal (see: [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/49](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/49) aims to recover the remaining 1000 DOT locked in #248 and #251

This reimbursement request was originally instantiated as a single Gov 1 tip request for the full 1100 DOT. That request has now been closed due to Open Gov superseding it: [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/tip/0x216473ffc7d04eda7028d3c40019bf177fde2f425ba9c2ce88b6d4f8df4135df](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/tip/0x216473ffc7d04eda7028d3c40019bf177fde2f425ba9c2ce88b6d4f8df4135df)

To be clear, this is us acting as advised by Parity in order to get our deposits returned from erroneous proposal submissions in Gov 1. This is not a request for new funds just a refund of our existing funds. Happy to answer any questions the community may have, thank you.

Part 1 of 2 request for 1100 DOT deposit reimbursement

Dear Polkadot community! 

My name is George and I am a Dotsama enthusiast that is trying to share knowledge about the entire ecosystem through videos. 
For the past 1 year and a half, I have been deeply involved in the entire ecosystem, diligently following its progress, absorbing more and more information that at some point I wanted to share with the others. I started with translating articles in my native language on my medium page and I am still doing this, but I wanted also to start creating my own piece of content to share and spread the word. 4 months ago I started a YouTube channel and started to create educational videos by using animations. Personally I like this type of videos because with a very good script and by using animations as a captivating tool it is more easy to explain complex concepts and bring clarity to the viewers. You can check the videos created until now on my channel https://www.youtube.com/@AnimatedCrypto. Moreover, even though the channel is at the beginning I have received good feedback and people encouraged me to further expand my efforts and produce higher-quality content. However, in order to sustain and enhance the production value of my videos, I am seeking a small financial support from the Polkadot Treasury. The requested funds would be utilised in order to create 10 new educational videos. I would like to use my way of creating videos to present 10 parachains, from DOTSAMA, such as: Moonbeam, Astar, RMRK, Unique Network, Phala Network, Subsocial, Centrifuge, Parallel, Polkadex, Ajuna Network. Additionally I will create a educational thread on my twitter channel on each project in order to reach bigger audiences.

The requested amount is 120 DOT , worth approximately $600 @ $5 per DOT at today's market price.

By supporting my endeavour, you will contribute to the spread of knowledge and awareness about Polkadot, fostering its growth and adoption. The educational videos will serve as valuable resources not only for newcomers to the blockchain space but also for experienced individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of DOTSAMA unique features and capabilities. 

I am looking forward on receiving your feedback over the next 7 days of the referendum.

Kind regards, 

George
