#Empower the Gnars DAO community with Noun 189 delegation
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
GG @frail crescent, you just advanced to level 8!
Are there any more Nouners or Nounders who have Skateboard heads similar to Noun 189 that we can bring onboard to gnarsDAO so we have more voting power! Because i see we are going to need more votes to get the GnarsDAO lifestyle/streetwear brand offground
Only 3 exist.
Aside from Gami’s 189, there’s 0x-Parzival - noun 358 who’s in Gnars server but not verified yet, and Patricio from POAP - noun 376.
But we technically have 2 votes already with nouns 189 and 374, plus I’m on nouncil which has 13+ votes and I work with others that support us.
Gnars has a lot of support. 
We already successfully received 69 ETH with our first proposal (https://nouns.wtf/vote/51). None of which has been spent yet. Since our purpose is to sponsor athlete travel, let's first focus on building out our team of Nouns Athletes – I'll be doing some proposals today, that get Dave, Kevin, Ashanti, Joe and Treyven their first payments, with a full onboarding experience for Travala and Bitrefill (where they can send ETH to be stored as USD credits that can be used later on flights, accommodation, etc).
One Noun, every day, forever. Nouns DAO is an experiment on the Ethereum blockchain.
to this point, if you have any in mind, please feel free to reach out and introduce them to our project.
Going back to this a "gnarsDAO Nouncil" Idea with delegation to the gnars is not a bad idea! We can make sure all onchain proposals and votes.. With Noun o'clock participation from
DAO Members
Having our founder @dire hawk Delegate this noun can help the DAO grow into a Powerhouse SubDAO of the NounsDAO ecosystem!
Maybe Bob and Vlad can help us to find some great Brazilian athletes
I recently announced my intention for this awesome community to benefit from the power of Noun 189. Let's use this forum post to discuss and see how we'd like to go about doing so. Noun 189 is already seen as a prolific creator, but imagine what it can be known for if it truly represents us as a community!
As you know, I love this idea.
And because I'm biased to both communities in this case, I'm totally down for Gnars Voting or Noun O' Clock voting.
For anyone that doesn't know, I'm a founder of the NOC show and core member of the team. Full disclosure.
I think if delegated to Noun O' Clock and we embrace more of a cross community vibe, it could be really cool. It's all about the nounish culture and it's gnarly being able to vote as a community.
Less admin in Gnars discord if Noun O Clock delegation too, as the NOC team will handle all the voting announcements and execution.
BUT
If we keep it internally to Gnars, then we get a more concentrated vote that is likely in the interests of this niche community. But I'm not sure how different the results will be in practise.
Thanks so much for the clarity mate. Re: Nounish culture, this sums it up pretty nicely. In fact, this on a Nouns Athlete would perfectly describe Gnars DAO too. 🤘
Was just thinking too. Enough of us get involved and we can prevent minting of further skateboards lol.
- As a group, would you like to make Nouns DAO voting decisions via Noun 189?
So for example, if the nouns dao is voting on the color orange or blue. We, the gnars, would have our own little vote on how your noun 189 should vote?
If thats what you mean, that is pretty dope.
Yeah I mean right now, I take some time to read proposals and vote when I can. What I’m proposing is we decide on how my Noun votes as a group. So even if the majority disagreed with me, Noun 189 would vote according to the majority (not me alone).
this is super cool Gami. With how connected Noun 189 is to the DAO i think it would be weird if the voting rights were held outside of the DAO with NOC. I'm obviously biased towards the DAO and much respect to NOC who hold it down daily.
over time, as the treasury grows, Gnars could even look to acquire more nouns
Agree with @flat crow on all points
If delegated to the DAO, would the DAO also be able to vote to sponsor proposals? Similar to GOOP's recent vote/submission? https://twitter.com/goopdao/status/1546872136899313664
The proposal for Nouns on the Ground is officially on-chain as Goop Troop's first sponsored Nouns proposal!
Huge shoutout to @aubtoshi_nft and team and we're excited to see the future of this initiative!
Nouns vote:

Yeah definitely. Would love to see someone from within our own community get funded too. Would be amazing for a collaborative streetwear label to come out of this, or any number of other cool things. 🥹❤️
Any thoughts on how to best manage this technically, that others may have seen, are much appreciated. Also, I’ll go deep on the research if there’s enough appetite. Think it might be something really fun for everyone to do while I’m in the weeds on business development and getting commercial stuff in place.
Yeah I’m leaning more toward keeping the vote within GnarsDAO than ⌐ⓝ°ⓒ.
Enables us here more and is an awesome thing to do!
And of course, any Gnars props that go up, I can lobby nouncil and help get those 13 votes too.
maybe participating in Nouns DAO ourselves could be included in our own twitter spaces etc. i'd love to find a tool that champions those who take part in the votes. wondering how hard it would be to do this. i'm guessing there are some suitable tools around. just gotta find them 😉
You mean like hold spaces with Gnars community proposers and voters?
I’m thinking regular spaces just in general. Welcoming artists and athletes to chat street culture.
Hell yeah, could be sick!
Also, I’m thinking about getting myself an office space, that could double as a retail space and meetup venue — Shredquarters?
Fuck yeah! Mini ramps inside?
Flagship nounish lifestyle brand store?
This would be dope!!!
Might move closer 😉
Keen to chill in a spot like that for sure!
hell yeah! can't afford one like Supreme on Fairfax ave...
but Tyler the Creator's flagship GOLF store might be doable. i'd live upstairs lol
under the platform is a miniramp, they just slide the cover off
[Shop & Retail] 310 & 312 Oxford Street, Paddington, NSW 2021. Two prime freehold terraces in prized retail position. View this property on realcommercial.com.au
some place like this would be sick
This is amazing!
pioneer a collective type business model, where cc0 stores pop up all around the world, selling Nounish streetwear and apparel, Gnars DAO labels/tags, but profit share between DAO/Artist/Facilitator – maybe eventually don't even kick back to DAO
We're the street wise sub DAO of Nouns, so lets take em to the street culture we partake in.
create a full media brand around the build that ends up documenting our day to day endeavours. kinda like how Braille Skateboarding have their space. Or how I've seen Gym Shark do since day one.
Imagine ending up like Storeroom Vintage, or a local store you know about your area, where for example, all the rappers go when they're in town for a concert. We could be the go-to place for extreme athletes when they're in a given city.
Storeroom Vintage is Australia's #1 vintage store offering the finest handpicked variety of vintage clothing from all over the world—70S, 80S, 90S, to 2000S. Its Crown St. store and exclusive upstairs showroom is a celebrity hotspot. It has supplied a number of international artists and influencers such as Lil Yachty, Drake, A$ap Rocky, Halsey, Rita Ora, Post Malone, Ben Simmons, Anderson Paak and Anwar Hadid.

sorry just realised this is all in the wrong forum post lol
but actually still relevant since I'm working on a new proposal via Noun 189 anyway.
This is amazing!
So good bro!!!
Sorry I bounced mid convo, had to run the nouncil call.
Hell yeah! I love that idea. Gnars could serve as an incubator for concepts to get refined before bringing them to Nouns as a proposal.
😍 These look amazing.
fwiw, I live in Encinitas, CA, a big surf and skate town (tony hawk lives in the neighborhood). And a storefront like that would do really well here.
That would be amazing mate. I really strongly see the Gnars community as a pillar in the nouns community. There’s something unique we’ve managed to create here so far and it has inspired many others. So I feel we are on our way to doing awesome things.
Awesome you mention that. I’ve been thinking about how Gnars DAO can have this kinda satellite presence as a brand, while anyone who wants to, can leverage the cc0 assets etc, and tap into the gnars and nouns communities, to have their own localised businesses.
Like I can imagine having something here in Australia and running the main Gnars.com site, then I can imagine individuals running in their own languages, or localised around the world, kinda like I’ve been doing with Nouns — such is the nature of having everything in the public domain. 🤙
The more I think about it, Gnars DAO looks like a “nounish lifestyle brand” and the perfect place to celebrate street culture. Probably sounding a bit woo-woo but I’m seeing the vision so clearly. 😊
Wouldn’t it be so cool if when travelling you were always within reach of a nounish spot you could visit, knowing there’d be some skaters, riders, artists etc to hang with? 😍
GG @sour leaf, you just advanced to level 1!
Although I’m in no rush to have a storefront myself. I used to have one in nyc and it was a real pain in the ass to run. 🤣
Ooh I know! But yeah, everyone can leave the hard work up to me, then if a path is paved, I’ll be here as a helping hand. 🙌
@dire hawk’s rollin out the red carpet for the rest of us.
Hope so! ❤️
I feel the pain.
My only issue was good staff to keep it open 12hrs/7days. Ended up being me.
But I had a little old 5br heritage cottage that I decked out with all different rooms for different things. Was dope! Mad party house after hours too lol
dang that sounds like fun though
It was a lot of fun.
Some days we'd put a sign up like "yo, we're up the street at this bar, join us there or call us and we'll come back" hahaha
I had enough of sitting around in the one spot after a few years and my business partner was off the rails and left me with half the shifts. Customers and clients found it hilarious and worked out great still not even being at the shop sometimes.
Kinda like showing up to a frens house, not home, go to the bar with them, head back to the shop for sales or work done.
Made some insanely good frens/clients this way tbh
Oh My! This is beautiful just even thinking about it. Reminds me of Santa Cruz alot
lol. that's amazing. What kind of business was this?
Started as a body modification studio after working in Tattoo studios and them not being the right vibe. Created my own with the right vibe, then got tattooists to do guest spots here and there to get rid of the walk in style stuff. Just sick art.
But also ran a "Happy High Herbs" franchise from one room, retail clothing in another, handmade woodwork/lathed body jewellery from the workshop, web dev studio from the office. Very diverse little spot. Was a cool setup!
But it tied me to the one spot. I needed to travel and get away from the staff. The web stuff took over and I went remote about a decade ago.
Damn Benbodhi. All along i thought you were selling Music Merch only. You are deep into the culture, you are indeed a gift that keep on giving
Whoa. That’s a lot in one space. But man that sounds super fun!
It really was a lot of fun until partner was off the rails and I had to get moving and grow more.
Really pains when a partner bails and you have to do twice the work. Just like marriage.
yeah it was tough, but led to better future 🙂
Never a loss, always a lesson
I didn't expect to see a Paddington real estate listing in here, that is my neck of the woods.
Gami and I are both Aussies. I live a few hours north of there though. My aunty lives in Paddington 🙂
Nice, I'm currently in Manila, have been away from home for a little over a year so I'm looking forward to being back next month.
Sydney weather not something I'm rushing back to, has sounded horrendous this year
Haha yeah, it’s been pretty crazy!
Manila! That’s awesome.
oh for real? i used to live there! now live at the beach
yeah been awful weather but nice today! when you're back let's meet up!!
So seems like Noun 189 delegation to community has support. Will make a proposal for this on Snapshot soon. So we can formally vote. Need to work out how to make it happen technically still. But also, thinking this will allow us to eventually revive the skatepark proposal that once occurred in Nouns DAO: #900411018730160131 message
As in, together we can create a proposal, then submit that to Nouns DAO. As mentioned prior: "Gnars DAO x Nouns DAO x The Skatepark Project"
I love this alot 👏 👏 👏 👏
If everyone is down, then steps could be pretty simple.
One option:
Just set up snapshot votes for voting on existing props and for submitting props after discussing in discord.
Token holders vote in snapshot.
You execute vote/submit prop.
Or
Delegate noun to gnars multi sig,
Same for the rest in terms of snapshot voting, but multi sig crew executes votes and submits props.
Probably the 2 simplest ways to get started.
Multi sig seems kinda fun. Votes and voting is important
This kinda feels like making a Nouncil for gnarsDAO. Amrite?
Yeah that's essentially exactly what it is, allow for group consensus, then carry out votes/props on behalf of the group's majority choice.
These are both good options. If I delegate to our Treasury, we can also execute the multisig directly from Snapshot votes thanks to the reality module. Just not sure how the security measures, eg. cooling off period etc, would impact the timeframe allowed to vote. Maybe I should just try it and see whta happens.
In fact, I can even configure Reality module to work directly from votes inside of Discord.
Probably some security considerations first, but we can take any off-chain consensus and execute on chain.
But in saying that, a Nouncil inside of Gnars DAO sounds awesome. Because we have super keen community members like @frail crescent ❤️
The Board Members - love it
