Truth. Rltd heuristic: if looking to qualify someone as long-term partner/peer see their first reaction to constructive feedback. A+ players will immediately ask question to see if it’s their blind spot.. rest will start with defence. A+ players hire/play with A+. A hires/plays with B players and down hill from there
Forget it fellas … the suns out, Monaco f1 weekend, succession finale kinda Sunday!
Fwiw, it wasn’t all roi. Fattybagz made an nft collection. The community bought into it. No grants needed/asked for. It was about the people! Most of us still hang despite losses
Btw these discussions we’re love voice chats at times suitable for EU contributors. Not some text forum
I don’t need too. Let me ask current contributors for screenshot of the Notion docs where it’s all outlined
Apollo is an old hedge fund dude (doxxed now). Other is also mature head. I don’t think they ever pulled the veto card except when bad eggs needed to be weeded out. The criteria was simple: their personal agenda was greater than the daos agenda eg one guy just wanted Olympus on his resume b/c he was starting new fund
Tim, there was not “voting” in absolute terms. People had focused discussions around potential projects and moved to build. With some soft veto held by Apollo and Unbanksy (two earliest supporters of OhmZeus)
sometimes you sandwich, sometimes you jackhammer. But I hear you and yes agree 200%
Oh yea! We had a gather town for contributors. Was a great way to sit and work or have meetings
@nadia worked there too with her cofounder. I wonder if she remembers something I’ve missed
You could propose a project. But the bar for it to be included in the roadmap was high. You had to get buyin. If anyone was found doing dm politics, they were insta kicked out.
To reduce governance overhead, the main project took out $Xmm every quarter and allocated to the contributor multisig who later produced a report of expenses for their dao for transparency
The product development cycle was simple: there was a backlog of new ideas and features. All slated for a quarterly release. You worked with a team that came together (or you scraped together). You delivered on the promised definition of done. You got paid. Payment reporting was transparent
multiple YC/BayArea founders/engineers who later doxxed 1:1 to me we’re in there
The interviews were done by multiple people and less about doxxing yourself or algorithms and more about how much do you believe in building with Olympus, why and what you wanted to contribute to
Org structure: For the overall defi project went from multi-sig (early days) later to decentralized gov token For development, defi discord members and token holders were interviewed and moved into separate contributor server
Context: 1. The eng, prod, mkt, ops, bd team grew to 100+ paid contractors over time 2. Regular product releases like a startup 3. Partnerships with 75+ startups 4. Multiple spin outs incl a full berachain
it’s non-violent when you are not “dismissive” of opposing view regardless of how it’s delivered and your personal take/interest. It’s easy to hide behind “democracy” and “well it’s a vote”. btw, works for personal relationships too. Two ears, one mouth for a reason
yes, ignoring the merits on a convo, the speaker and trying to spin doctor something is rude and the message was directed. apologies if you felt offended but within the 24h context, most ppl understand is assumption
Good open question I’ve got too. ARB always gets creative so curious to see!
OP/OPStack: - strong and clear vision+team - aligned with EF/Eth values - proof of collab eg Coinbase, Zora and two more big ones in the pipe What I’m unclear on: scalability. But I trust CB did some dd/work there and it’ll improve. Disclaimer: I’m EF maxi
Thanks 🙏🏼 and I agree ☝🏼 #1 stop these backdoor dms. We’re on a social platform. Not the US congress. The flaws of nouns didn’t need to be ported here
but dudes, chill and enjoy the moment of tribalism. I wish you luck. Keep hustling. And like I said, no one really cares about your digital candy machine irl. Be the kings of your tiny jungle - b/c we don’t have queens+ there anyways
Or … maybe due to getting a condescending dm. I know wtf I’m talking about here by all means and rarely have strong opinions strongly held if you know me
