You can find more info about me &amp; my past proposals by checking out the previous treasury proposals: <a href="../referenda/37" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ref.37</a> (Approved &amp; Delivered) &amp; on Kusama #<a href="https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/46" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ref.46</a> (Approved &amp; Delivered) , #<a href="https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/38" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ref.38</a> (Rejected), #<a href="https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ref.201</a> (Rejected)
Description: KryptosChain ethos has always been to simplify explanations, therefore I have decided to simplify this proposal by adding all the necessary info in this Polkassembly post rather than a separate proposal so as not to bore you.
This proposal asks the Polkadot Treasury for funding of a total of 15 educational videos covering Polkadot Open Governance &amp; Polkadot News, all uploaded to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/kryptoschain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KryptosChain</a> Youtube channel &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/KryptosChain">KryptosChain</a> Twitter profile during September &amp; partially October. The video content will be split as following:&nbsp;
$250 per video &mdash; 10 Open Governance videos (Polkadot Open Gov only, including early discussions and newly active referendums), all summarized without spending a lot of time with the details, mostly serving existing DOT holders but also new users wanting to learn what Open Gov is about.
$200 per video &mdash; 5 Polkadot News videos (ecosystem announcements)
Prices have been slightly adjusted to reflect the reality in terms of effort required to produce these videos &amp; the current market conditions. Open Gov being more complex and requiring more effort while news simpler to produce.
Here you can find the live report of where each video will be publicly shared as it's completed or as there's work in progress --&gt; <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/189gHre9D2IfLS6IBUd-Z_nfAWtb_KwlQyV1G9OLBmMI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Reporting</a>
This is a continuation / extension of Ref.37 on Polkadot with more focus towards Open Governance &amp; News rather than interviews &amp; product comparisons, in order to serve the Polkadot community. If this referendum passes, the plan is to continue on a month to month basis until the community will stop supporting, rather than request funding for a longer period of time at once, therefore the pressure on the Treasury being abolutely minimal from a media perspective.
If you have any questions, please feel free to drop a comment below as the discussion will be open for 7 days for feedback.

KryptosChain Media Support (Continuation) - Big Tipper Request

Dear Polkadot community,
Collators on System Parachains are provided with minimal rewards for block production and small incentives in terms of transaction fees. This reduces incentives for Collators to act in a favorable manner and they may also be inclined to under-resourcing their hosts to save costs.&nbsp;Collators should receive funding for the provision of their services. Ultimately, this should be provided by the chain in a preferably sustainable manner. Implementation of such a system is a long-term solution. In the medium term, funding for collators can be provided by the respective Treasuries in the form of a bounty. This allows funding to be pre-allocated and independently managed.
Based on <a href="https://kusama.polkassembly.io/bounty/20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kusama System Parachains Collator Bounty,</a> and <a href="https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/blob/7eb2193a1a82818c83be4501c4b2a1e6d343dedb/text/0007-system-collator-selection.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RFC-0007: System Collator Selection</a>, this proposal is a short-term solution aiming to post-pay monthly operating costs of service providers until a more suitable solution (Bounty) is established.

The proposal aims to secure 6,075.79 DOT for Collators on the Polkadot System Parachains network for services delivered for the period of 2 months - 08-09/2023.

Polkadot System Parachain Collators - Tips

I have proposed <a href="https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/14">RFC14 - Improve locking mechanism for parachains</a> and it has been accepted by the Fellowship. I have also completed the <a href="https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1290">implementation for RFC14.</a>
Summary for RFC 14:
This RFC proposes a set of changes to the parachain lock mechanism. The goal is to allow a parachain manager to self-service the parachain without root track governance action.
This is achieved by remove existing lock conditions and only lock a parachain when:
&mdash; A parachain manager explicitly lock the parachain
&mdash; OR a parachain block is produced successfully
Motivation for RFC14
The manager of a parachain has permission to manage the parachain when the parachain is unlocked. Parachains are by default locked when onboarded to a slot. This requires the parachain wasm/genesis must be valid, otherwise a root track governance action on relaychain is required to update the parachain.
The current reliance on root track governance actions for managing parachains can be time-consuming and burdensome. This RFC aims to address this technical difficulty by allowing parachain managers to take self-service actions, rather than relying on general public voting.
The key scenarios this RFC seeks to improve are:
1. Rescue a parachain with invalid wasm/genesis.
While we have various resources and templates to build a new parachain, it is still not a trivial task. It is very easy to make a mistake and resulting an invalid wasm/genesis. With lack of tools to help detect those issues1, it is very likely that the issues are only discovered after the parachain is onboarded on a slot. In this case, the parachain is locked and the parachain team has to go through a lengthy governance process to rescue the parachain.
2. Perform lease renewal for an existing parachain.
One way to perform lease renewal for a parachain is by doing a least swap with another parachain with a longer lease. This requires the other parachain must be operational and able to perform XCM transact call into relaychain to dispatch the swap call. Combined with the overhead of setting up a new parachain, this is an time consuming and expensive process. Ideally, the parachain manager should be able to perform the lease swap call without having a running parachain2.

Create & implement RFC14 - Improve locking mechanism for parachains

I would like to recognise and reward &nbsp;<a href="../user/paradox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@paradox</a>&nbsp;for his invaluable contributions and unwavering dedication in both drafting and refining arduous calls aimed at Referendums <a href="73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">73</a>, <a href="112">112</a>, <a href="113">113</a>, <a href="114">114</a>, and <a href="115">115</a> rejecting certain Gov1 treasury proposals while facilitating the release of the proponent deposits.
Not only did Paradox actively participate in the proposals initial crafting, but his ongoing commitment extended to supporting the project through subsequent phases. His contribution during the follow-up referenda played an important role in ensuring the success of the endeavour, ensuring the integrity of the system and preventing any potential double-spending.
In recognition of Paradox's contributions, this reward aims to stand as a testament to the community's appreciation for Paradox's dedication, expertise, and role in driving the proposals success.

Recognising Paradox's Contributions to Reject Gov 1 Proposals and Release Bonds

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 CCTF (123LuJKS65HaBbLSdDS46ByeC7bvQwA1iUhTpmjigQAfUKpK) with 360.20&nbsp;DOT for their <a href="../treasury/288">original proposal</a>. The rejected proposal can be found <a href="46">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.

Refunding Radium Block's GOV1 Treasury Spend Deposit



The goal of this referenda is to sponsor 10 education practical videos about Rust, Substrate. 

The **learning curve** is too **high** to allow **newcomers** start working with **Substrate**. Documentation is clear but it’s hard to go through all the practical topics and put everything together on your own.

There are thousands of videos about solidity and just few about substrate for someone new in ecosystem.

I am [substrate.rust.dev](https://substrate.rust.dev). 
A lot of devs have learned rust with watching videos on my youtube channel: [about.web3.online](http://about.web3.online/) and there are those who dived into polkadot as well.

I know how to help and teach to easily onboard people to tech stack. **And we need more practical tutorials!!!**

**Learning substrate** should be as **easy** as diving into **solidity** and I am going to provide devs with more videos and bridge them to the eco.

I have already released [72 videos ](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnalMG3z2RzF39Hg-PG-x_rH8Yr2ztYbV)(73k views) about rust and 40 videos about polkadot/substrate. 

Next target:

**10** practical videos **25** minutes each. 

**"From zero to substrate ninja"**.



Rejected

Substrate, XCM rust technical practice videos.

Dear Polkadot Community,

[Polkashots.io](https://polkashots.io) was the first snapshot service for validators and node operators available since Early 2021. During its time, it provided a valuable service to validators and Parity engineers alike, that ensured reliability of our network.

Warp Sync makes snapshot services redundant, therefore we stopped our service in April 2023. We are seeking the reimbursement of 74% of our cloud spend for the Jan-Apr period. The remainder will be borne by us.

This is a follow-up of [referendum 10](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/10) that failed. This Big Tipper proposal for 999 DOT is paired with a [Kusama proposal](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/238) for 332.5 KSM. Total is **13,490 USD**. Thank you for your consideration.

This is part two 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 big tipper track proposal aims to recover the 1000 DOT locked in #248 and #251.

The other small tipper track proposal (see: [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/48](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/48) aims to recover the remaining 100 DOT locked in #247.

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 2 of 2 request for 1100 DOT deposit reimbursement

Hello Polkadot community!

My name's Claudio, Polkadot Ambassador and I also run the KryptosChain media brand ([Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/kryptoschain) & [Twitter](https://twitter.com/KryptosChain)), you likely have heard of me before, either because you watched my videos or because you have seen me actively contributing in governance in the last number of months., but if you don't. I'm an ex-Database Developer who developed a passion for content creation in Web3 and have started a Youtube channel in April of 2018 with the scope to share my research with other crypto enthusiasts as well as use my tech knowledge to do tutorials and try and explain users something techier in a non tech way.

As Polkadot launched in 2020, I started doing media coverage about the ecosystem and have since been doing mostly that.

I had previously raised a proposal (not for my main KryptosChain channel) in January 2023 which had passed public voting and which is [#Ref.46](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/46) and has since been delivered. You can find the final delivery report [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12kPiNeT9Zpc5xn3HXWgsaeM7YGRJV5dEL-97Uohf3_4). This was an initiative to grow a Romanian community who didn't have any content available about Polkadot.

While delivering the proposal for #Ref.46 I had continued to produce content on my main channel, KryptosChain including interviews with Founders from the Polkadot ecosystem without requesting additional funding from the Treasury and had been managed within that budget as the KSM price had performed very well between referendum start date and receiving the funds and I felt it was only normal to do that for the community.

This new proposal is to request treasury funding for continued support of the ecosystem through media marketing.

To produce a total of **25 videos** over a period of **2 months** of the following types:

5 x Comparison videos between the Cosmos & Polkadot ecosystems
(Compare products such as DEFI dApps, wallets and NFT marketplaces from the above ecosystem to those on Polkadot and talk about the pros & cons)

General Polkadot ecosystem news x 5 videos

Open Governance news regarding treasury spends x 5 videos (on Polkadot only)

Interviews with Founders / Co-Founders or other team members x 10 videos

You can find the full proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZYLw9M9LIb3H0t8caqY5cRRD5bjxMAgrVGPNhutTPiM/edit)

There has been no discussion opened as this is a Big Tipper request and not a Spender, thus it's for a short period of time.

The requested amount is **932.45 DOT** , worth approximately **$4,625 @ $4.96** per **DOT** at today's market price. Should the price of DOT appreciate within the 7 days + the additional days before the payment from the treasury is sent, I will be transferring the extra DOT back to the Treasury. Should the price drop, I will work with what I got and should it drop by a lot, I will be requesting an additional top-up to make up for it in a separate proposal (Let's hope it won't be needed).

I look forward to your feedback over these next 7 days of the referendum.

Regards,

Claudio

**Requested DOT:** 500

**Short description:**
AngelHack is requesting the reimbursement of the submission deposit for [Treasury Proposal #300](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/300) under Gov1 due to the recent shift to OpenGov. We will be resubmitting this proposal as a Treasury spend referendum on OpenGov.

Requesting a return of the submission deposit

[Motion 377](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/377) was a proposal submitted with the goal of funding the development of cross-platform tip-as-you-go functionality by Anagolay to streamline community support for verified creators and builders.
The motion didn't reach majority vote, with little feedback provided by the Council. After careful consideration, the team has decided to not pursue Treasury funding at this time and concentrate our time and efforts on a different route.
This tip aims to return the 500 DOTS deposit for the submission of [proposal #256](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/256) to the team. As a grassroots project, bootstrapped and self-funded to date, limiting our losses would be a good help.
