lol DG doesn’t sell its VP. Voting on dcl props is just another perk not the original or sole purpose of holding xDG. The VP, mostly represented by LAND belongs entirely to treasury. The treasury is managed by DAO that is voted on by xDG holders. Anyone with 100k xDG can submit proposals. SoulMagic also submitted their proposal in DG DAO.

SanninDec 15, 2022

To add to this, for DG DAO voting you need a gov token(xDG) similar to MANA not a community NFT. DG DAO will vote on dcl props once you make it your mission to explain the project to the community rather than offering anything in return for the votes. 😉

I am not saying to stop it, I am saying to be transparent about it. And let's face it, Your opinion essentially says we can't police it, so let's throw ethics out the window. I am the top holder of the Holy Ones. I personally would NOT make them vote on my own proposal - I could easily pass the vote in their DAO to do so. However, that would be unethical in my opinion.

noh0mieDec 04, 2022

I'm kind of confused with what you are saying here, realistically what DG does is exactly the same thing that Metatrekkers is doing based on @Tudamoon 's screenshot from their Discord. The credibility of the organizations is irrelevant to the structure of the actions, based on the claims above both are holding large amounts of VP and using a separate snapshot process with their community internally to direct the usage of that organizations VP. Personally I'm not sure how I feel about this ethically as the method to stopping it would be some kind of centralized censorship and from one of my past proposals the community is clearly anti-censorship. If Metatrekkers or DG were more blatantly selling their vote for $ then perhaps the censorship would be warranted, but there is also no way to know if this is the case or not behind closed doors unless some form of information is leaked out. I see how the purchase of the NFT can be seen as an obstruction of a bribe, but as @Soulmagic said pretty much every NFT project / DAO requires holding either a governance token or NFT to participate. Could THO not do the same thing @Tudamoon and if they voted in favor of a proposal you submitted would consider yourself to have bribed them to vote in your favor based on your massive holdings of THOs? I really just don't see how we're supposed to police sub-DAOs which hold large amounts of VP from using that VP as they wish.

The value of that image transaction is for the metatraker NFT, many people have bought it and collect it for the benefit it has.

TudamoonDec 01, 2022

[quote="Soulmagic, post:11, topic:16883, full:true"] Hello @Tudamoon, in order to submit a proposal to Metatrekkers DAO for their community, which has over 200 NFT holders, to vote you will need to hold their NFT. It is similar to DG DAO that you need to hold DG tokens to submit a proposal for their community to vote. It doesn’t mean and there is no guarantee that Metatrekkers community will vote for our grant proposal to DCL DAO. [/quote] Thank you for sharing! Are you planning to propose a vote in their "DAO?"

ArtReYouDec 01, 2022

The difference is, that DG is a legit, minted out, and the BIGGEST Project in DCL. They are holding their OWN VP. Metatrekkers don't have 200 UNIQUE Owners ![Bildschirmfoto 2022-12-01 um 18.19.48|690x232](upload://3pCLXJ88ORH9OgfoClpZ7Cr0xh1.png) +70% of all NFTs have been minted between 2 Wallets (MetaTrekkerss & LifeOfElonMuskNFT) and sent out to different Wallets. ![Bildschirmfoto 2022-12-01 um 18.21.05|690x306](upload://ntxeBkxJkxrjYXU1gmBwbibi6Uv.png)

I am a strong supporter for developments in dcl and those trying to add a more sustainable flow of new incoming potential community members who maybe attracted to dcl because of the project above. YES for me

daxDec 01, 2022

sure but i mean the duration of the time spent will be about 2 working months, unless each dev works in isolation, checking in with their PM once per week.

ArtReYouDec 01, 2022

Can you please provide the Whitepaper & Tokenomics for the P2E? ![Bildschirmfoto 2022-12-01 um 15.36.02|690x372](upload://moavIanA0HcHpe1HtGweaj22cyT.png) ![Bildschirmfoto 2022-12-01 um 15.37.36|690x312](upload://b4JwbyzLNeIDkHuq4rbeGs4egVi.jpeg) You started your Project in March 2022 and got a total Volume of 2ETH I don't see how you will be successful and substainable with this Project. For this reason i voted NO

TudamoonDec 01, 2022

I am not making any claims that I cannot back up. I just find it intriguing that they said this in their discord and now all of a sudden they are getting more sales. Maybe a coincidence? ![image|456x499](upload://3dvLWEcnfUB3s9BFaDx70dQzXlg.jpeg)

ArtReYouDec 01, 2022

WOW, so you are saying that he bought this NFT from @MetaTrekkers to get 1MM VP on this Proposal?

TudamoonDec 01, 2022

I am just going to share this as it may become relevant. Mazzak the author of this proposal paid 0.177 ETH to Metatrekkers 2 days prior to this proposal. Let's see how this plays out. :thinking: ![image|690x199](upload://16b6Mh9jl3UMZFsEKs7VkjbywEm.png)

Hello @dax, the dev man day is actually 120 days in total (3 devs times 40 days each), not 40 days. We expect to upgrade the game and expand the community, hence we can make more wearables to generate revenue, that will benefit DCL as well. Currently we have created 2 wearables and they have realized a trading volume of ~450 MANA already.

daxDec 01, 2022

originally voted yes, but changed it to no after looking at the budget more closely - the roadmap is until may 2023, but the budgetis just for 2 months of production (40 days of dev work is billed) - only 10 days of project management, etc :thinking: i just wonder what the long term strategy is here - you're going to be pulling a pretty big team, are they just done after this work or what happens next? where does the project go from here and how do you plan to fund it? what is actual duration of what this grant is meant to cover?

MetaDogeDec 01, 2022

Reason for voting: - A solid team with very good and persistent contributions to DCL system - Good game narrative and diverse play mode - Strong design skills to create well-beloved wearables and scenes that will create huge extra attraction to the game - Keep ranking top among all DCL project user base, even without the grant - 60K is a reasonable amount for their level of contribution Love to see more coming! Keep it up!
