Nouns DAO

TLDR

I’m helping organize an April Fools Themed Hackathon in NYC on Sat 3/30 and would love to have Nouns DAO sponsor 3 prizes of $420.69 each for “Most Nounish Hack”:

Full Proposal Details

Hey all - nbaronia.eth here. Long time voter, first time proposer. My friends Jaclyn Chan, Bobby Thakkar and I are hosting a hackathon in NYC on Saturday March 30th for people building “Silly Hacks”. The only rules for the hackathon are:

• be as silly as you can be
• ship to prod

I think the concept of silly hacks is very aligned with being nounish, and as Chris Dixon wrote in his seminal blog post, The next big thing will start out looking like a toy.

To that end, I am requesting $1262.07 ($420.69 x 3) to award to the top 3 “Most Nounish Hacks”. That could be anything cryptonative broadly related to Nouns. Jaclyn, Bobby, and I are all cryptonatives and would be happy to judge and share the hack on socials afterwards and tag Nouns. We are expecting 100+ hackers with diverse backgrounds, ranging from people (1) still in school, (2) people who work in consumer tech, (3) people who work in a creative role (design, product, indie devs, etc) and more.

This is a high signal event to proliferate the nounish meme at. 100% of the proceeds will go towards the prize pool, as we already have all the other expenses and logistics covered. Other cryptonative sponsors include Lens for $5k. And if you’re a Noun in Now York stop by and say hi!
