ABSTRACT

This document outlines the funding and responsibilities for myself (cryptosi) as the operator of PIVX-DAOWatch: a live governance
intelligence dashboard and a full media stack covering PIVX governance - the weekly PIVX Weekly show, written governance recaps
on this forum, specials, tutorials, a monthly governance call, and the PIVX Fork Federation initiative. The operation has been running
for weeks without asking the DAO for anything; this proposal funds its continuation and expansion. One operator, one full governance
media stack, one vote.


RESPONSIBILITIES
As the operator of PIVX-DAOWatch, my responsibilities under this proposal include the following:
- Monitor all five PIVX governance feeds daily and maintain the live dashboard (https://pivx.daowatch.org), with honest status labels when anything is down
- Produce and publish PIVX Weekly - 4 episodes per cycle, new episode every Friday (https://pivx.daowatch.org/videos)
- Write and post a weekly written governance recap on this forum
- Book, produce, and publish at least 1 special with guests per cycle, pushing for 2.
- Host 1 governance call per cycle and publish the minutes
- Produce 1 superblock recap video and 1 end-of-round voting graphic per cycle
- Produce 1 tutorial video per cycle
- Run the monthly 'Mooty' Awards ceremony
- Deliver the PIVX Fork Federation (definition below)
- Publish a public monthly transparency report: uptime, items published, videos shipped, progress towards longer term goals (fork federation)

Additionally, work already undertaken under this initiative - before asking for a single PIV - includes the following:

- Live governance dashboard tracking all 5 governance feeds, refreshed daily (https://pivx.daowatch.org)
- PIVX Weekly Ep 1 - From $0.02 to $10: the PIVX story
- PIVX Weekly Ep 2 - Price dropping, MN manager, governance next steps
- PIVX Weekly Ep 3 - Community Development and More


DELIVERABLES

Every deliverable below is a public artifact - something a voter can click, watch, or read. Counts are per cycle. At the end of each cycle,
the monthly transparency report lists every deliverable with a direct link, so checking this list takes one click.

1. PIVX Weekly episodes - 4 per cycle
One full episode every Wednesday: governance recap, ecosystem news, the honest segment. Published to the PIVX Weekly YouTube
channel and linked at pivx.daowatch.org/videos.

Verify: the videos page (new episode within each 7 days).

2. Specials with guests - 1 or 2 per cycle
Interview or discussion episodes featuring community members, devs, or proposal authors. Guests are human-verified humans.
Verify: the videos page, labeled "Special".

3. Governance call - 1 per cycle
A public voice call on the PIVX Discord, open to all, with the written minutes published on this forum within 48 hours.

Verify: minutes thread + call announcement.

4. Superblock recap video - 1 per cycle
What passed, what failed, who got funded, and what it means - published within 7 days of each superblock.

Verify: the videos page, labeled "Superblock Recap".

5. Tutorial video - 1 per cycle
From the tutorial roadmap below. First in series: how to vote on a proposal (debug console / mnbudgetvote).

Verify: the videos page, labeled "Tutorial".

6. Dashboard + Mooty Awards - continuous
Dashboard refreshed daily for the entire cycle, with honest status labels if anything breaks; monthly Mooty Awards ceremony

Verify: pivx.daowatch.org uptime + ceremony thread.

7. PIVX Fork Federation - to completion (definition below)
The finish line is four checkable artifacts: (a) federation charter published, (b) fork-project registry live on the
dashboard, (c) at least 3 founding fork communities signed on, (d) joint announcement. -- https://forum.pivx.org/threads/pivx-fork-federation-creating-the-pivx-codeisphere.3039/

Verify: each artifact is public and linked when shipped.

That is a minimum of 9 published media items per cycle, plus the transparency report - for 20,000 PIV.

Why These are important
- Voter apathy is quite high, we need to increase engagement and get more people and masternode owners voting
- Barrier to creating a proposal is high, we need to increase awareness and familiarity with our system in hopes of attracting new proposals and the progress that comes with new people working for PIVX
- Accountability keeps funded teams honest, when proposal owners know that there will be a recap and follow up on their proposals in a public forum they are more likely to be honest.
- Nobody else is doing this, PIVX labs are building tools, Core is building V6.0.0, Jeffrey is doing biz dev, nobody is focused on governance and codeisphere development
- A fork federation will allow us to monitor devs work on PIVX codebase or very similar forks and promote them to our CORE team in time, currently many of our core devs were fork devs previously
- A fork federation will champion the thesis that app chains should be fully sovereign, private and proof of stake, PIVX provides all 3 features and more forks means a bigger ecosystem for us to grow into
- A fork federation will allow us to negotiate better with exchanges for listings as we will be bringing more than one project, community and set of users each time they build to integrate PIVX and her forks

Funding

The funding I am asking for to cover the continued duties and responsibilities listed above is 20,000 PIV per cycle. The above lists are extensive in nature, but not exhaustive, and minor or nuanced tasks may not be listed. DevOps covers a rather broad range of tasks that, if done well, should really not be noticeable from an outside perspective.

Roadmap
In the future I want to complete the following:
- Move PIVX weekly and the specials to a professional studio, with professional lighting, sound and editing
- Build out the daocouncil application as a further way to gather engagement and help educate on current proposals https://github.com/Crypto-SI/daocouncil
- Multi language editions , French, spanish, swahili, mandarin, yoruba, and other languages
- Audio podcast versions, posted directly to spotify and other audio venues
- proposal owner spotlight, interviews with serial proposal owners
- Proposal clinic, 1/2 hours per week for people with pre-proposal to join me and help flesh out their idea and produce awesome proposals
