Business Reviews, Scam Prevention, Security Help & Registries [Trust In DCL] This proposal is now in status: REJECTED. Voting Results: * Yes 11% 322,973 VP (23 votes) * No 89% 2,439,206 VP (49 votes)

Just out of curiosity, why do you feel that the community did this? I am only asking because usually there is a reason behind a large group of people voting in a similar way. I'm voting no, as there are others using free tools to do this as well without asking for anything from the DAO. Best of luck to you!

Community has already killed this project because my name is on the board. I will advise Bendstrup to listen to the community's feedback, and answer your questions. If he resumit it, it will be without my name. Thanks for understanding

Are you not the Project Advisor? [quote="dao, post:1, topic:15788"] **Project Advisor & Management:** Klockmann * Discord username: Klockmann#3349 * Skills: Project management & DCL Expert. [/quote]

Hello @Tudamoon As im not the project lead, i will leave that to @Bendstrup

@Klockmann Are you going to answer these questions?

I appear to have misread your comment iam sorry 😊 i pull it back thought you said DCL Real Estate was a scam

Hey if you read the comment, I said the graphics feel like scam graphics, I never said the proposal nor DCL Real Estate is a scam. So I'd ask you to reread my words. Also I'm associating it w DCL Real Estate, because @Bendstrup reached out to me in a DM to look at his proposal, and his bio on discord reads... "Real Estate Agent in Decentraland📋 - Agent of DCL Real Estate👔 - I'm your trusted realtor https://dclrealestate.org/ https://discord.gg/XBjCRTbRZP https://twitter.com/DCL_RealEstate" So of course I associated this person, who is part of DCL Real Estate, and what they do with DCL Real Estate. Especially when the topic is related to lands, and land rentals. Also I want to clarify, I was never given a link in the DM to his proposal nor got any other response about the proposal and his intentions. Just the initial outreach if I would look at his proposal. Which I said sure, but I also don't think we need another land rental proposal. Which is truly how I feel. You see how this is not a wild imagination at work, but what is factually laid out in front of me. I'd also ask where in my response did I "trash talk" anything but the graphics? But even then, it was feedback to graphic design. I never even mentioned your name either. So where is that coming from?

Hello Ckbubbles. I 100% respect your point of view, but please don't trash talk DCL Real Estate which has nothing to do with this project. If you actually had used our services you would know what we stand for. This is Bendstrup's own project, i advised him how to appreciate DAO with his idea and was asked to help him a long the way. I don't like the way you guys are bashing my name, and my company's name when it's NOT the same. But I said yes to helping and voting because the idea of DCL actually taking stand on scam is better, than we have today. Thats why i said yes to helping him. I have enough work in my own grant, but if a community member or one of my friends ask for help how to do something in DCL, ofc. i will help. I would have also if you had an idea you could use my help to 😊

I don't think we need a proposal for this. I agree with previous comment that this can be made with free tools, to help community, instead of taking money from the DAO. Which your team DCL Real Estate already has an on-going proposal. So it appears the team is trying to find any and every reason to get more funds from the DAO, without showing actual value to the platform and community. Plus and not to be rude, but the graphics used are not great, and make me feel like this is a scam in itself.

Can we stop voting on ideas and actually make sure that the team is credible. You seem to like voting a lot being one of the top voters in DCL, but it seems like you just like having your stamp of approval, whether you have read into it or not? Could you answer my questions above? If you can't why aren't you asking them?

[/quote] 1. Who are you in DCL? What makes you a DCL Expert? I am not familiar with "Advisor and Safety expert in DCL," would you mind explaining what that is? For "Klockmann" I would like to know the history of the projects you managed and proof of successes. https://governance.decentraland.org/balance/?address=0xa7f9756bc9d51aa3b3c71f79392ea8c685f10766 When I looked you up. I haven't see you before in DCL, do you have another DCL name besides this one? What are the other DCL Experts names for their DCL Names? 2. I am looking at your "Land Rental" in your budget, can you explain that? 3. Can you explain the difference between your Website Development costs and your "Transcript & registry set-up?" 4. What is this Management compensation & Team Compensation? What's the difference? Am I missing something here? 5. Advisory and consulting: Can you share who this is coming from?

Hello HPricakos, Thank you for your comment and feedback. We are making a improvement of the current scam-chat in the Decentraland discord server, that is the only scam-prevention there is at the moment. The current scam-chat in the Discord server is clearly not fulfilling its purpose and is simply not enough. There are clearly still everyday-users of Decentraland being scammed and defrauded way too much. Concerning the land rental: This is an estimated cost of a basic 2x2 rental for 12-month. The price is very conservative and based on the cheapest rentals established by realtors. The land rental will be non-profit for the realtor and will only go to the landowner. We are very open to a free space rental as you reffered to, but that is not something we have encountered before. Of course it its possble to find rentals cheaper than 360USD a month, but then it will be a 1x1 land and it will be in the middle of nowhere. Our project office will have to be visible to the users of DCL and reachable for the newest of users, therefore our estimated cost of 360USD is considered generous and optimistic - but it can be done. There is people being scammed every day in the crypto space, that's a fact. And also people in DCL who hasn't secured themselves properly, and DCL simply hasn't done any steps to provide prevention or informative work to prevent this, other than when the damage is already done and it's too late, where the answer will be "there is nothing we can do, get a ledger". We need to actively tell our users how they can roam in this space. The new users of DCL don't know how to search 1000+ discord posts of scam reports, maybe hasn't even properly used discord before. So our goal is to make it EASIER, and also to give the basic viewer a quick and nice overview of how to be safe in DCL, whether it's avoiding scam or businesses. The grant proposal itself also has a "Review a business" proposal in itself, where a rating/feedback platform will be made. Where users can rate DCL businesses and users can share their experience. Decentralization is good, but it's also important to make new users aware of who to deal with, or who NOT to deal with. It's important we do a more active task-force towards avoiding scam, and having a good business environment, is VITAL for DCL success. DCL is the best meta-verse there is - we also need to be the first in line to make steps to secure our users a safe environment. Our project will make it possible for all users (and non-users) to browse a large community made registry of reviewed businesses and untrustworthy abusers. It will not be a simple website with a form and an FAQ, but be a advance made database of all the things that we have mentioned in our proposal. Thank you again for your feedback. Best, Bendstrup - TrustInDCL

Hello Web3nit, Thank you so much for your comment and your vote. My name is Bendstrup and i am the project lead of this project. We agree that security is vital in Decentraland and we want do to everything we can in making Decentraland safer for all users to be a part of. The fututre of Decentraland holds no place for scammers and the likes - and we want to be at the front of Decentraland to make sure there are none. Our project will make it possible for succesful and honest DCL businesses to be known for their honesty and rewarded for taking part in making Decentraland a more honest space. We are also exploring making automated processes about instruments helping to warn users and prevent frauds. Thank you so much again for your suportive answer and your vote! Best, Bendstrup - TrustInDCL

It can be done with a discord server, 60k for a website with a form and an FAQ seems a lot. Klockmann taking his piece of the cake at the same time and charging 360 USD per month for land renting when some people a renting for less than 100 USD or even for free.

I'm working on an integration for Unversed (https://unversed.org) already. 60k for only that seems a lot. Not worth in my opinion.

Security in Decentraland is so vital. Every time I see people in #land channel saying they were scammed. I vote yes for this direction to start. Technologies are evolving. Hope in future will be more automated instruments to warn users and prevent frauds.
