[Proposal 136594] Grant PokedStudioUK \$1M in Funding – Support a Proven Builder

I don’t think it was an actual SNS but it is listed here: https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/sns/nb7he-piaaa-aaaaq-aadqq-cai

That’s just the former DOGMI SNS that @borovan took over and renamed it to PokedBots. The fact that @jonit happily associates himself with a guy that attacks other projects without hesitation and regard for other investors doesn’t inspire much confidence in his projects.

curious about this recent events, more transparency is needed to show commitment to web3 ethos

He has a SNS though and that’s pretty cool

Yeh the Proposal wasn’t written or submitted by me, it was a community member who couldn’t understanding the lack of funding hence the lack of a written out business plan..
I do have a clear business plan that is currently in progress, and would submit one if opportunities for funding exist in future.

I’d love to see you getting supported Jon, I expect that you’ll be told to either apply for a grant, or do an SNS - which I assume you would never have been keen on due to legal uncertainty. It would be amazing if the grants process could be more open for people to vote on like this, or for us to reimagine a way to use the neuron fund where we can directly vote to contribute to projects, instead of it being a free money loophole!

You have an SNS and I can fund it, and you’ll make loads from toko. Not sure what the problem is!

It has been amazing to see the community support for my project and thats who I’m working for.
Without the large NO votes from the org and synapse there was a majority YES that the pokedbots project should be supported and helped to achieve their full potential.
That means a lot to me.

is this offer also available for other/ new projects?

Since DFINITY voted no, this proposal seems dead in the water.
Guess that’s the end of that chapter—for now.

IMHO, this proposal was stillborn - it never specified who should be providing the funding.

Web3 gaming is easy to sell. You dont understand the medium. Look at Web2 gaming… Who’s shilling traditional gaming assets? Whos shilling web2 gaming period? Under 16 year olds? No. Causation vs correlation.

Literally had some kid tell me he wanted to get a Cinder NFT last cycle.

You never heard of it? Neither have I. Guess who I heard about it from recently… and no not someone who does crypto, lmao.

Its piss easy to sell anything when you have good ol American gab to turn rock into pet rock.

How you gonna say its a hard sell when web3 gaming pumped hard and dumped hard last cycle? RWA is easy sell? Dont forget RWA pumped hard and dumped hard last cycle too but for some reason people pretend like its a new concept.

The ONLY THING that will bring mass adoption is entertainment and gaming… because it onboards real intrinsic value becsuse people onboard for :poop: and giggles… just like the internet.

RWA requires counter party, and if you expect people to onboard via RWA… show me TVL. Nobody is RWAing on some ledger in some tiny island.

Web 2 gaming is saturated. Web3 gaming is slowly but surely thriving… The eco growth surpasses my expectations… and its still early… Meanwhile people spending millions of dollars to clone basic websites most devs csn spin up in a few weeks or months or even hire someone on fiver.

We talking ICP or in general? Because web3 gaming exists and people are gaming on multiple platforms… even :poop: networks ive never heard about. And people will download whatever software or use whatever chain to play whatever game they wanna play.
