My mission is to bring all skateboarders onchain

Thanks @toadyhawk.eth! Heads up it’s a long story, but I’m happy to share it for anyone that’s interested.

shoutout to @skateboard for turning me onto nouns a while ago. Sky and  it became my favorite NFT project because I love DAOs and I love the idea of funding ideas and it was really..

1/

Anyway, I had joined @atxdao about a month before when I moved back to Austin from Denver, and at my first member meeting when the topic of onboarding the next cohort of ATX DAO members came up, I raised my hand and pitched the idea of forking nouns 🙋‍ 

ATX DAO already has a lot of similarities to Nouns...

3/

as an NFT-gated community where proceeds from membership sales go into the treasury, and ATX DAO funds awesome ideas. There were already some members like @512mace, @artichokelord, @spatializes, @kenn, @realitycrafter.eth, @sampadilla, @hotmanics (and more!) on the same wavelength that loved the idea, but...

4/

there were also some valid concerns around implementing the auction model for ATX DAO.

This inspired the idea for the first ever dynamic noungorithmic auctions (DNA), which I hope you’ll agree is incredibly nounish: https://prop.house/nouns/open-round-17/4430

5/

The noungorithm alleviated concerns, and the proposal to ATX DAO to move forward with the idea passed with unanimous support: https://snapshot.org/#/atxdao.eth/proposal/0xf25c1a9a095cb4c1ad86e79cacc5a77c48fcf24f50b1838133e518121af3320f

oops, updated link that describes the DNA https://offchain.prop.house/nouns/open-round-17

Since then, we’ve developed and implemented the noungorithm, and are starting to plan our launch for next month. You can see the in-progress auction page and test the DNA with goerli eth on https://members.atxdao.com/auction 

7/

One of the next steps in our plan is to request 51.2 ETH from @nouns-dao to help fund ATX Nouns to make Austin Nounish. If this goes well, the plan is to help cities around the world, many of which are already looking to ATX DAO for guidance, to deploy their own nounish forks, spreading nouns tech and memes..

around the world. Fun fact, there are 512 cities with 1M+ population 😎

We just yeeted it to the forum 2 mins ago and would love your and everyone’s feedback:  https://discourse.nouns.wtf/t/make-austin-nounish-atx-nouns/5293 

9/

So far we’ve been grateful to receive really positive and helpful feedback from awesome nouners like @aubtoshi, @ccarella.eth, @cheffo, @gami, @nic, @ricburton, (and more!) and I’m now ready to put Noun 1016 to work expeditiously to sponsor this proposal.

10/

On top of this immediate use case, I’ve always wanted a Noun, but my only realistic hope a year ago was to win one in a scavenger hunt. In the meantime, i became a community member of gnars and public nouns.  i've always been bullish on the community, the tech, and memes, and while it’s not like I..

11/

shoutout @nftonyp and @toadyhawk.eth too! I know y'all gave some super helpful feedback to @512mace, and I believe credit goes to @nftonyp for coining the "Dynamic Noungorithmic Auction (DNA)' moniker

can just blow 9 ETH, at the current price i think it’s a great investment (nfa ofc).

I also went part time in my role at the Fox Foundation in January, and now that my schedule is more open I hope to be able to use my skills to contribute to spreading Nouns throughout Austin and beyond.

/The  ̶e̶n̶d̶ beginning

the first NFT project that made sense to me.

I almost won a sweet dino noun last year at ETHDenver in a scavenger hunt from @ricburton, but the competition was canceled due to lack of participation 😭i had assembled a team w/ a multisig and I'm pretty sure we were the only team that had found every clue.

Casting thoughts about decentralization and magic

dang it, typo in the first post 😂  blowing my first impression with the nouns community.

wanted to give @sky a shoutout for getting me excited about nouns early on too. and then meant to say "It instantly became my favorite NFT project..."
