Building rootstock collective community of developers and users in Ghana

Hello @Oluman , thank you so much for the candid response and for acknowledging the gaps in Milestone 1 delivery. We truly appreciate and understand your unique locational perspective; navigating local nuances is always a challenge in global ecosystem growth.

However, we must be clear: as a delegate, we cannot support an on-chain vote for the full $1,800 payment for Milestone 2 [1]at this stage.

The purpose of milestone-based funding is to provide a “check and balance” for the DAO. If we approve a 100% payout for a milestone where the core deliverables (Educational Posts) were deferred and the primary KPI (Onboarding) was missed by over 50%, we undermine the governance framework of the Rootstock Collective, and that is not fair also to your potential for the success of this proposal.

To find a path forward that supports your work in Ghana while maintaining DAO accountability, we suggest the following:

  1. You mentioned taking steps to provide access to community channels. Please post the direct link to your Telegram or Discord channel in your reply. Seeing the 67 members interacting is the “Proof of Life” the delegates could make them feel more comfortable.
  2. The 5 educuational posts: If these are to be moved to Milestone 2, they must be treated as additional requirements for that phase, not a replacement for missed M1 work.
  3. Adjusted On-Chain Vote: If you proceed to a vote now for $1,800, we will unfortunately have to vote “No” based on the missed KPIs. However, we would be open to supporting a pro-rated payment (e.g., $1,000) for Milestone 1 to cover your initial logistical costs, with the remaining $800 being “unlocked” only after the 5 educational posts and the 150-member target are actually verified during the next phase.

We want to empower the youth in Ghana, but we must do so through a professional framework that rewards completed deliverables. We want to work with you to bridge this gap so you can move into the Bootcamp phase with the full confidence of the Collective. Tks!

  1. We had mistakenly noted this as an upcoming Milestone 1 payment for an on-chain vote. As noted by Tane ( Building rootstock collective community of developers and users in Ghana - #55 by Tane ), Milestone 1 has been previously approved for payment ( Tally | RootstockCollective | BUILDING ROOTSTOCK COMMUNITY OF DEVELOPERS AND USERS IN GHANA;This proposal aims to establish and grow a vibrant Rootstock (RSK) community in Ghana by onboarding new users, training local developers, and promoting real-world blockchain adoption. Through community events, workshops, developer meetups, and hands-on education, the project will create awareness of Rootstock’s Bitcoin-sidechain ecosystem.
