Dear Commoners!
Felix and Giulio here. Wow... So much to say. But first, take a deep breath
and feel the vibe :)

… and the chaos!


One week has passed and we are still so joyful for having accomplished such
an incredible event. CCG21 happened and in terms of gratification that is
more than enough. In terms of #worldunfucking, that's not enough. The Real
Value party starts now!

#RealValue

We don’t want to keep this mail long so we’ll try to be short: we want to
start with you a process of Hirschwangerhof local regeneration, to foster
the development of the “Crypto Commons” community and ecosystem - which of
course includes also non-blockchain/crypto projects - and to find the best
modalities of coordination and accelerate the diffusion of our tools and
vision.

Over the coming months, we seek to develop a feasible governance framework
and a full blown plan for the house regeneration. If you want to contribute
your time and intelligence to this mission, you can join the Crypto Commons
Hub <https://t.me/joinchat/nSfT0VysqwBjZTEy> group on TG.

‘Crypto Commons Hub’ (CCH) will also be the new public name of our entity -
formerly (briefly) known as Crypto Commons Association, CCA - for the
happiness of our friends, the Community Currency Alliance, and all of us
who don’t like confusion. In the end, we are not certain yet which legal
form is most suitable to our needs, and will explore that in line with our
governance and house regeneration plans.

Recordings, presentation slides and all other forms of good knowledge
gathered at the CCG will be published soon. We are currently migrating all
our digital activity and files on open source and privacy-secure services,
to say a big f*uck you to the Web Giants. In fact, this email is the last
communication from our Gmail account, the next ones will come by our nice
cryptocommonshub at protonmail.com <cryptocommons at protonmail.com> account.

Short term: Raising funds to get things going

Our first move is to promote our Gitcoin Grant in order to be able to set
up a stable team in tandem with an internal group of voluntary contributors
who want to participate and help to varying degrees.

Gitcoin Grant Round #11
We set up a Gitcoin Grant
<https://gitcoin.co/grants/2073/crypto-commons-gathering-2021> supporting
first steps towards the establishment of the CCH as a physical space and
the production of the Crypto Commons Documentary (CCD), the first full
feature film on Crypto Commons, for which most of you have already been
interviewed in brief. Proceeds for the CCH will be used mainly to expand
our team by two people, including one ‘organized person’ skilled in all the
things we both suck at (structure, reliability, accounting etc.).

Felix, trying to bring order into the mess he created

The CCD will use funds primarily to send Oliviero and Josh to the Bitcoin
Miami Conference as part of our ‘Blockchain for Good’ delegation (Thanks
Sarah Manski for this!!). Their plan is to present 10-15 minutes of already
gathered material, advertise their public fundraising campaign, and to
continue gathering material for the full feature documentary - in
particular the Bitcoin Maximalist stance, but hopefully also some
willingness of Bitcoineers to look beyond the strictly monetary dimension.

The eleventh round of Gitcoin Grants ends on September 23rd. Every
donation, sharing and feedback is greatly appreciated. As always, the
dynamic fund matching provided by Gitcoin means that the more broad and
diverse our supporter base is, the more fund matching we get from
institutional partners - so please share widely in your various
communities! Usually, gas fees are lower on the weekend, so why not do it
right now?!


Vote for us with CSTK
Another way you can support us is to vote for us
<https://cv.commonsstack.org/#/proposal/29> with your CSTK tokens on the
distribution of the Commons Stack’s Community Fund
<https://medium.com/commonsstack/commons-stack-community-fund-voting-round-3-dedc0f98d495>,
which is additionally (and much higher) matched by Panvala for donations
made in PAN (so consider donating to the community fund
<https://gitcoin.co/grants/1127/commons-stack-community-fund-panvala-league>
in PAN instead of in DAI).


Circles UBI
For those who didn’t do it, you can also donate your Circles UBI
<https://joincircles.net/> tokens to the CCH shared wallet @CCG21ANDFOREVER
as these wonderful commoners are sponsoring us and they will buy back the
tokens for fiat in order to fund CCH activities. Thanks Circles UBI!!!


Fiat Donations
Of course you can also donate old style fiat euros if you prefer avoiding
ETH fees: this is our IBAN and bank details, just write “Donation to CCA”

Name: Crypto Commons Association

IBAN: AT55 2011 1844 2147 1600

BIC:  GIBAATWWXXX

PS: We’ll track every kind of donation in order to recognise the
contribution of every commoner for future praise, rewards or other
purposes. No good deed shall go unrewarded!

Mid term: Sowing the seeds from which the Crypto Commons Hub will grow

Develop a governance structure: Again, it will take a while to find the
most suitable legal form as well as the best organizational structure for
our ecosystemic activities, and whoever wants to contribute to this process
is more than welcome!

Create a 3D model of the house, to be used both in fundraising in order to
give potential supporters an idea of the space, and as our digital
representation in the metaverse, upon which a plethora of use cases can be
created in future (think digital and hybrid conferences, art galleries,
augmented reality in the house itself, etc. - only our shared imagination
is the limit!). Obviously, we are looking for experience with 3D modelling,
NFTs, AR/VR etc. We are  trying to raise a budget to fund at least the
immediate development of the model itself until the end of the year.

Create a comprehensive proposal for potential sponsors that includes the
grand vision, a roadmap, an overview of immediate and intermediate issues
the house has, and a budget that reflects these needs, public subsidies and
other potential sources of revenue/funding for our plans. It should be
ready by December 1st, as most budgets for 2022 are drafted in December. We
are searching for experienced contributors who know either the private
crypto sponsors landscape, the public EU and Austrian subsidies landscape,
have general experience in business plan development or can contribute to a
coherent and attractive narrative.
