thinking about a new type of event for communities:

I propose an event, maybe with X funding from treasury

if N number of verified members RSVP, then the event happens and appears on the community’s feed.

If event happens, funding is granted. if i clearly mis-use funds, then people at the event report me.

I know it’s overkill and cumbersome but some kind of penalties for cheating and some kind of reputation score could work in the game theory. 

But I suppose in a small trusted group it could work in the expected way

yea that’s the main issue… maybe funding isn’t tied to the rsvp threshold, and community leaders can decide which to fund. still tho we’d be creating the ability to ask for funds from the community in a native/seamless way

Cool! You’d hope it wouldn’t happen but I immediately think what would stop people colluding to throw a fake event, grab funds and share without reporting anything?

Also how would reporting work? Is there a threshold i.e. 51%+ ppl must report?

i just had to do that for ETH SF too! i wonder if it’s a sybil resistance thing— maybe something we can look into as well

ETH Denver did something interesting in the early days where you had to stake an amount of ETH to secure an invite (in addition to passing the application). There might be some juice in a stake-to-attend model.

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

you’re saying it’s a sybil issue right? 
maybe you can only vote if you have a linked farcaster account! good point tho

What does “verified member” mean in this context? NFT owner or something more? Could be gamed in larger communities if just NFT ownership

it's great. we should try it with PurpleDAO for Basel meetup possibly

@greynguyen with Starpay would help with getting the tooling down to make this happen!
