proxy

considering putting together a "proxy hack" 

basically - I have a few ideas I would like to see built out, and the ability to manage & fund the development of them 

I'm trying to figure out how to structure it to attract talented contributors and align incentives...but sort of feels like if $50-100k could fund a mid, official hackathon, that we could do a lot better with a lil less 

Theres some very obvious content strategies we could pair with it, that if done right could drive attention to the projects and a hack maps onto launchpad mechanics perfectly 

being realistic, it's unlikely we'll get support from larger projects, unlikely that we'll attract co-sponsors, and unlikely that we'll get invited to give talks at VC offices and all that

(That stuff all comes after you do a couple hundred million in volume, dw)

But if the trench whispers that filter down to me are at all accurate, I think we'd be able to get immediate feedback from users & the market, which is both endlessly useful & rare

hell yes, feeling some og proxy vibes flowing there and I like it

contributor /obscura, regular /openventures.  operations. photography. visual arts. global south.

I was very determined to be hopeful and try stuff 

Good reminder for me in my current headspace: I must resist being cynical and jaded at all costs
