Dear community just as an FYI there was some kind of glitch when they updated my vesting contract. I did my 2nd update the day the contract was redone and somehow it put it as my third and said I missed my 2nd even though it was on time. Now this month there was no place to leave my third update cause the second one was in there. I kept checking in to see if a fourth would appear so I could just put number 3 in there. It didn’t appear until just now and it says I missed number 4 even though number 4 isn’t due till next month. I know this is super confusing and I'm not sure what I should do. I was told to just put number 3 in the third with the number 2 report but I can’t do that because it says there are to many characters.

StoneyEye Studios - Music & Art Growth and Self-Sustainability This proposal has been ENACTED by a DAO Committee Member (0xfb1afa4dc069ffb47b19dbee196045d508fcd5a2) Vesting Contract Addresses: 0x85b7362c6AF67D95c9BC13e90E963f90a89be9A5,0xAb21b08f88b64fCC403f138104878c4AF6a0B12a

Hi @StoneyEye, Sorry for the delay, we are already vesting it and you will recieve in 48 hours or less. thanks for being patient

Blessing @rizk could you let me know where the new vesting contract is? I'm not seeing it. Thank you.

Hi @StoneyEye , hope you doing well. Just wanted to give you a heads up that the new vesting contract kicks off on September 1st. You'll start receiving your payments on October 1st, and each one will be 5k in DAI for the next ten months. Thanks and good luck

Just to clarify the original contract was for 6-months not 3-months and the first release of funds was on Aug 31. Will the new vesting contract be on the same link or will it be in a new place? Because I just see Revoked on the current vesting contract page. @HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk

Hi! The correct starting date is August 1st, 2023 @rizk

Dear Community, The [Grant Support Squad](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=7a236540-d305-11ec-b521-2f98ffa6ccb0) was created to support grantees in achieving their goals and managing the DAO treasury. After a thorough review of this project, the Squad recommends creating a new vesting contract for the remaining $50,000, with a duration of 11 months. The Grand Support Squad agreed with @StoneyEye to extend the original 3-month contract to a year after the roadmap review meeting with the grantee. The grantee's initial roadmap described events for a year, but they needed an initial income for preproduction. Therefore, we recommend that the DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk ) create a new vesting contract with the following details: - Amount: $50,000 - Duration: 11 months - Starting date: October 1st, 2023 Current Vesting Contract: https://vesting.decentraland.org/#/0x85b7362c6af67d95c9bc13e90e963f90a89be9a5 Thank you so much. FIFI

hell yea ridiculous the community didnt rally this sooner. Gratz

I vote yes, decentraland needs more people like stoney capable of gathering a large number of people at their events and I believe that if it is approved, new artists will come to decentraland that will help the community grow [image] [image

Voted Yes! Stoney has provided the Decentraland community with valued entertainment for multiple years now from his own funds!

This is a very easy yes! Stoney has a proven track record of creating amazing experiences all over dcl. 🔥 Just wanted to quickly respond, since our grant was brought up by @HPrivakos : While we love to collaborate with Stoney and are humbled to have him regularly perform in the band room, this grant has absolutely nothing to do with TRU. The way you just casually make this out to be funding (in-part) for TRU is just plain wrong. Bless!

All You even gotta say is I'm StoneyEye & I'm voting yes. Much Love Homie Bless Up. :heart_on_fire:

Thanks for clarifying. As a spouse to an NFT artist I can understand where you are coming from. Talent can only get you so far. I believe the community should support creators, and creators have the responsibility to ensure that one's work can self sustain down the line. I do hope you have plans to somehow monetize your work in this space. You have my support.

There isn't anything wrong in asking questions before giving out grants. Checks and balances have to be present for all grantees regardless of whether they are established or not. Since we don't have a centralised unit to do it, it's the community's responsibility to ask questions. And you are technically wrong. The vesting contract vests MANA, not USD. This MANA is sold to the open market to people like you and I, and whales of course, so yes we directly fund all these proposals, so everyone who is a member, has the right to ask questions.

In 2021 I was selling off all my lands because I was getting out of Decentraland. But one night I stumbled upon Stoney playing the only type of music that sings to my soul: reggae. I couldn't believe that I could hear my favorite songs in the metaverse as a mermaid. So, I stuck around a little longer. I 100% would not be here today if Stoney wasn't playing his music. MoBeatz is a different type of venue, one where the listeners are included in the process. Stoney brings something different to Decentraland and I look forward to what he will create next.

@HPrivakos @3Point1Four Blessings. This is definitely not more funding for TRU. TRU just happens to be where my weekly event is right now. It’s pretty common in this space to have projects and people that overlap and work together. Like many other musicians I am extremely grateful to have the Band Room to perform at. I have dedicated over 2 years of my time now to building the DCL community through putting on weekly free events and while I have made some money in the last year or so. It's definitely hardly anything compared to the time and resources put into it. While it’s true there are ways to make money as a musician the same could be said about Dev’s, 3D modelers, or any other skill it takes to build this community. Yet we still need the grant program in place. It’s not always as easy as just having the skill set to do something. My main reason for this grant is to help build my interactive beat making experience MoBeatz which isn’t at TRU, and bring in more web2 musicians in hopes they can discover what an amazing community/platform we have and to share that with their following. I would really like to push even harder and take things to the next level in the next year and this would give me the resources to do so.

First and foremost I really want to thank the Community for all your support on this and all the support you give week after week at Stoney’s live events. This grant will help Stoney take things to another level with what he would like to build with MoBeatz. Regardless of wether this grant passes or not he will continue to show up for this community because he loves you all and enjoys the energy exchange via his live shows that you all share. As far as Kyllian comment about other ways to make money (selling music) of course there are ways for Dj’s/musicians to make money off their craft and outside of DCL yes this is his main means of survival which is becoming harder and harder by living here in Southern California. Regarding TRU’s grant this is completely separate from theirs which was for (Venue Management not Artist Payments) and Shelley and her team with all their hard work every single day deserved that and more. If you take some of the key Musicians/Dj’s out of DCL and some of the key venues TRU, Dollhouse out of DCL it would lose the very fabric that is helping keep it alive. Yes there could be Dj’s that come and play at various venues but they aren’t a part of the community they don’t even engage with the community so it is a very different experience then what the core musicians and Dj’s bring to this space. If you look at the yes votes these are the people that are within the community who participate and engage in the events that take place. They understand the value that Stoney brings I wish you could see this as well and give your support here on this. Either way wether you support this proposal or not please come and enjoy the live events from the community from time to time so maybe in time your perspective will change on wether or not to support the music scene here. Much Love<3

How about ask why mother fuckers got a problem spending money thats set aside for content creators. Why people have a issue giving dao funds to people with track records providing community experiences. People who have been doing it for years on thier own dime. Better yet ask yourself who the fuck is advertising this platform your investing time and money in. What would it be without the very person asking for the grant. Or just vote no and bitch and moan like HP. I personally cant remember the last time he did a wearable give away. hosted a stream. Played some music. Hung out in world with the masses. Maybe he was on a different name tho.

Would like to have clarification on what HPrivakos mentioned above before deciding my vote.

TRU already got 120k USD 4 months ago, now this proposal is asking for 60k USD to fund in-part TRU again. I also think that being musician/producer/DJ, there would be other way to make money then asking for public grants, like for example, making music and selling it?

Yes one hundred times yes! This shoud actually be back pay for all the shows he and his whole family: soultry, lil stoney, have already brought to DCL. If you've been around for awhile then you know. Stoney & Soultry have done so much for this community, they are more than deserving of this grant, because this is exactly what DCL needs. XOXO

with all due respect....what do you vote yes on? What do you consider proposals/grants good enough in your favor to get your vote? I'm not trying to be rude, but shit. Stoney has been a DCL staple for over 2 years. He's obviously a boon to DCL. come on man
