Happy holidays PIVians. I am writing to formally propose the continuation of my role as a part-time writer for the PIVX DAO. Since joining the team, I have been consistently impressed by the PIVX community's dedication to privacy and innovation. I am eager to continue contributing my writing skills to further enhance PIVX's visibility and drive community engagement.

Demonstrated Success:
Since my initial engagement, I have successfully produced a variety of high-quality content for the PIVX ecosystem. This includes:

• In-depth articles:
  • Perpetual Contracts: A Beginner’s Guide
  • Meta’s $15M Privacy Violations Fine: A Wake-Up Call for the Digital Age
  • Top Places You Can Use Your PIVX
  • The Future of Privacy Coins
  • PIVX for Beginners: Your Complete Guide to Getting Started
  • Privacy: A Necessity for Web3’s Institutional Future
  • How to use PIVCards
• Regular Content:
  • PIVX Weekly Pulse (Dec 6th, 2024 - Dec 11th, 2024)
  • PIVX Welcomes Poloniex: A 2017 Legacy Fulfilled
• Ongoing Series:
  • Ethical Voting in DAOs: The Role of Masternode Owners in PIVX Governance (A continued series)

You can find a more comprehensive list of already published content on the previous proposal thread (https://forum.pivx.org/threads/part-time-writer-for-pivx.2391/) or on Medium. A few of my articles have also been published on the main PIVX site. These articles have provided valuable information to the PIVX community, covering a range of topics from technical explanations to broader industry trends.

Two cycles have already been completed, with one more to go. This proposal is supposed to ensure that there is no break in content once the third cycle is completed.

Collaboration and Community Engagement:
I have actively engaged with the PIVX community throughout my tenure. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to @LeacyMcK for her invaluable guidance and support during my onboarding process. Her assistance, along with the valuable feedback from @Eric_Stanek, @Jeffrey, and @SiggeB, has been instrumental to my success.

Proposed Continued Contributions:
Moving forward, I propose to continue deliverin high-quality content on a consistent basis. These will include regular blog posts of 2-3 engaging articles weekly. These articles will range from PIVX development updates to privacy-focused news and analysis, general cryptocurrency trends and insights, as well as thought leadership pieces.

I am confident that my continued contributions will significantly benefit the PIVX ecosystem. I am eager to continue working with the PIVX DAO and contribute to its ongoing success. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Here's an update on the work done in the just concluded cycle. This is a condensed report on some of the titles that were published this past cycle.

1. PIVX Weekly Pulse. This goes out every Friday, translating to four pulse articles in a month. You may have noticed that I've also started including charts and weekly comparisons to simplify the information being passed.
2. The EU’s Privacy Paradox: Commission Busted for Breaking Its Own Rules
3. Uncovering Chatstr: An Interview with JSKitty
4. What Could Go Wrong Series. Two more episodes were added to this to bring it to a close. Although I'll still maintain the title, I'll use it for trending news for faster turnaround time.
5. I Tried PIVX’s Secret Messenger (And Here’s What I Think!)
6. Italy Blocks DeepSeek AI over Data Risks
7. Expand Your Payment Options with PIVX: 4 Key Benefits for Your Merchant Store

In terms of article performance, we saw a slight increase on the number of views and article read on Medium relative to January.

In terms of performance of Medium, the EU Privacy article was the best-performing piece. This was followed by my interview of JSKitty. This suggests that we can reach a wider audience by slightly deviating from core-PIVX articles. Jumping on trending news is one of the surest ways to reach a wider audience.


In conclusion, I thank all those that have helped me in one way or the other. From the devs who are always receptive to my questions and interviews to @Eric_Stanek who would always put me straight on the technical side of things. And of course, @LeacyMcK for serving as the bridge between my articles and the design and translation teams.

As always, I am open to questions, feedback, and recommendations.
