Considering taking over the SNS so we can turn it into something useful.
Anybody got any ideas? I was going to suggest Cubetopia till Joey got angry at me.
If you want to see change, please follow my neuron :

We’re nearly there. I’ll donate the treasury to good projects that actually want to build on the IC as opposed to pay some guys from fiverr to commit a 1 line change every 3 months.
Just allocate the treasury to underrated builders like @NS01.
I can confirm the claim of neuron ownership made by @borovan. These neuron IDs b8e350f130e679e7fd58e3772e4ee879df8933cef359a43f8c43f6a9bc000ac7 and a18d3c619d686219da2edfe505c3d698af1925c1db8f5cd95dcc8b84613f04c5 belong to the principal ID ljxsi-5du4w-3se32-vba6v-dd543-rrj3g-nayx2-f7xhd-o4u7a-ycmxw-bae as verified using the get_neuron command of the BoomDAO Governance Canister. This is consistent with his reputation as the 6th largest whale that has participated in SNS projects and is based on snsgeek.app data that shows a ranking of total swap commitment.
This principal ID has been used to submit SNS proposals for many SNS projects recently including ICPCC DAO, ALICE, CATALYZE, DECIDE AI, ICVC, and DOLR AI including treasury transfer proposals, manage nervous system parameter proposals (tokenonics, etc), and creating generic nervous system functions to act on DAO controlled treasury canisters. Hence, his claim seems consistent with observations and attempts to significantly influence and/or take over an SNS, which is his right as a major token holder.
David doesn’t get involved in political debates. David isn’t here for clout or committee drama. But David does care deeply about the IC. His soul aches for it. Today, David is free, drunk and giving advice for free.
You should pay attention to the only DAO on the Internet Computer that is actually a DAO: TAGGR.
It’s the only dapp on IC that didn’t take a single cent from DFINITY, yet delivered a fully open-source app - with code so clear even a child could understand it.
This dapp is fully autonomous, and in my opinion, it’s the best-practice example of how IC-native apps should be built - especially considering how the IC model makes developers pay for usage.
And let’s get one thing straight:
David is not just a random loudmouth.
David has been actively involved in TAGGR.
He was the one who raised the alarm about TAGGR farmers (Miro)
He found a vulnerability in the system (STALWART case)
And in his free time, David has basically become an unofficial QA for TAGGR.
For all that effort, David received a little over 1318 TAGGR tokens and currently holds 0.47% of the voting power (VP).
So when the crew from DFINITY R&D comes knocking, asking “Could you tell us something about TAGGR for our next presentation?” - that’s when David loses it.
No, I shouldn’t be the one educating you about TAGGR.
You should be able to recite TAGGR’s canister ID in your sleep if someone shakes you awake at 3AM.
I suggest read the three-year retrospective by X, TAGGR’s founder. It might give you some insight into what real builders go through - the ones who came here to build, not beg for grants.
As for all those SNS projects?
They’ll die the moment their treasuries run dry.
The ones that locked their funds in neurons might survive a bit longer - maybe even hit some linear growth - but they’ll eventually die off too, unless someone keeps them on life support.
I’ve been trying to contact Max and Tommy for several months and no answer, also I was confused about the DAO being attacked by a party asking for 15K USD in ICP each month for such a simple game prototype they were making.
On the other hand @h1teshtr1path1 is a very good developer, what he did with the world canister, the factory pattern is really awesome if there’s something you want to save from it.
I’m following your neuron do what you need to do.
Yeah, their plan was to run away with the treasury, and they pulled it off. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention because I was pretty sure it would fail. I guess I was wrong…
Anyway, this cancer has to be cut away from the ecosystem. If Hitesh is a good developer he can contribute to Mimic and earn his treasury rewards that way.

Boom and the dirt was gone
So Taggr is ok then? I was just a bit sceptical because back a few years ago pretty much everything was a scam, or projects pivoting off the IC. I mean, nothing has changed until now, that’s why I’m doing what I’m doing.
Just been burned too many times.
Too many SNS projects have turned out to be scams and disappeared with the money.It’s just one of them.
Sonic- elna - hyperlaunch .
Seems chapx who scammed LBP money is within the circle too
Yes, Taggr is ok. You can ask any reputable person in the ICP community. Even Dom. 
Taggr doesn’t get as much love maybe because it’s not a SNS project (which is ironic because of the flaws you’ve been highlighting!) but Taggr chose not to go this route for two simple reasons:
the Taggr DAO was technically and physically formed before the SNS was launched and we are actually the first DAO (even though we died a few times 
)
the founder X never wanted to raise money and instead opted for the much harder route of growing from the ground up organically where the DAO is grown via usage of the platform as users can “mine” tokens via engagement on their posts
Come checkout Taggr and decide for yourself.
always follow you,support you
Yeah, honestly feel like “mining tokens” is most organic web3 approach. SNS launch is awesome when done right, but sucks when not done right… even Kickstarter has this problem. Issue with “mining tokens” is you really gotta be passionate and things grow slowly, which is great or bad depending on how you look at it, especially when considering missing out on moment of opportunity.
I really had high hopes for Boom Dao, even tried convincing my normie dev teams to use it, now making me look like a fool, lmao.
Do you think supporting projects with treasury is enough to turn it around?
I feel like its got some fundamental flaws as a whole, like it just feels dead… Any boom dao devs think otherwise? This Unity gamekit community I’m in has somewhat same age (maybe a year or two older) and it feels more active.
Feel like Boom Dao lacks developer participants. Devs pay for this Unity gamekit community for the functionality and support, How do we build a thriving web3 dev community without spending to attract mercenary devs looking for quick cashgrab?
I’ve actually been toying on the idea of buying out that unity toolkit and take it over retro fit it for web3 game dev… feels like a better strategy.
Don’t mind me, I’m just doing some advertisement: BoomDAO is dead and needs to be repurposed
Not b8e350f130e679e7fd58e3772e4ee879df8933cef359a43f8c43f6a9bc000ac7 that is in the main post?
BOOM DAO adds good gaming infrastructure.
Let’s go to planet MIMIC
TAGGR? TAGGR is a miracle.
Just toss $1.39 (1k credits) worth of ICP in, type “Hello TAGGR” (2 credits) - and watch. Somewhere out there, far from all the noise and swampy hype, real life is quietly flickering.
IC doesn’t need more shiny PDFs and pump-and-dump SNSs.
IC needs dapps like TAGGR.
IC needs real DAOs like TAGGR DAO.
But instead, DFINITY keeps pouring insane amounts of funding into random teams and one-hit-wonder devs who end up scamming the IC community - when all they really need to do is support the commuinity who are actually pouring their souls into the ecosystem and the idea behind it.
