Proposer: personaelabs.eth

Block: 15676189

Link: https://nouns.wtf/vote/150

Request: Fund 60 ETH for a month and a half of work by a 4-person team on a pseudonymous messaging service for Nouns holders

Result: PASSED

• FOR - 170 votes, 27 voters
• AGAINST - 2 votes, 2 voters
• ABSTAIN - 0 votes, 0 voter

TL;DR

• Funding an app that will allow Noun holders to share messages pseudonymously to encourage sharing of opinions that may not be said when tied to an identity
• Some debate about whether this will lead to negative, hateful messaging
• 60 ETH is a reasonable amount for a proven builder (Lakshman) in the ETH ecosystem
• Near-unanimous support

Key Discussions

• Original Discourse post
  • Positive reception and immediate support
  • Funding amount is originally 32 ETH (8 per person per month)
    • This is changed to 10 per person per month for 1.5 months in the second draft
• In-depth conversation in #nouner-general
  • "Pseudonymity (freedom of identity) and freedom of speech are fundamental rights, and core to what crypto represents. Yes it comes with trade offs, people may say mean or ugly things, tho to censor speech and thought is a far uglier thing to do” - Noun 22
  • "@lsankar has a strong reputation as an ethical builder. Definitely excited to have him as both a proposal submitter and a fellow Nouner. I trust him to think intelligently about the problem space, listen to feedback, and iterate the product if necessary” - Will Price
