@bisq-network/contributors, please submit any compensation requests by EOD on Sunday September 30th.

If you plan to submit a compensation request for a bigger pile of work please do this as soon as possible, so there is enough time for discussions before the voting. Otherwise your request might be rejected by the stakeholders because of open questions. This month we have such a request by @joachimneumann (#120). Please take your time to review ( 👍or 👎 ) and comment.

As usual, instructions can be found at https://docs.bisq.network/dao/phase-zero.html#how-to-request-compensation. Thanks.

Compensation requests have been staged in the BSQ stake and vote tracking spreadsheet, and the voting period is now open.

The specific worksheet for this month is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xlXDswj3251BPCOcII-UyWlX7o7jMkfYBE-IZ5te5Ck/edit#gid=1367921779

Voting instructions are at https://docs.bisq.network/dao/phase-zero.html#how-to-vote.

Some of you will be voting for the first time and will need access. Just request it and I'll grant it.

Please don't forget that we are voting this time again based on the Natural delegation on DAO voting proposal. Only vote +1 on compensation requests you can evaluate and do know about, for all other compensation requests vote 0 to show your intention to delegate your vote.

Please complete your voting by EOD on Wednesday October 3rd.

Thanks all.

Hey @ripcurlx @ManfredKarrer we should do something to keep those 22 contributors engaged! It is hard to get people to make the initial effort of learning how the DAO, Bisq and compensation requests work... but once they are here there is so much more they could do with little extra effort...

Even better if we can get them to take the initiative and propose actions!

We should have 1-on-1 chats with the 11 first time contributors to see what they can do or what ideas they have... or just to get their feedback. Maybe in the slack growth channel?

After all, recruitment should be a big focus...

[ripcurlx]

Yes, I think it would be a good idea to do as you proposed. Let’s have a quick chat on it, when I’m back on Friday next week, or you can start with it immediately. Had a quick chat with @BravoIndia already.

[ManfredKarrer]

@flix1 Yes good point!
Maybe lets invite them for a growth call to give feedback, ask questions, etc,... Would be nice to get the growth calls a bit more into a discussion platform with more guests anyway...

[ManfredKarrer]

@BravoIndia, @bugrasan, @pfergi42, @clearwater-trust, @fedegrc, @kopite77, @dgyg, @devinbileck, @princeofeth, @ArthurCideron and @arunasurya:
Thanks you all for partizipating in the Bisq DAO with filing a compensation request!

We would love to hear about your experience, feedback, answer questions, take suggestions, etc....

If you have time today (sorry for short notice!) please join today's (Oct 4th) growth call at 20:15 CET.
The hangout link will be posted about 15 min before the call at our Slack #growth channel.
If you cannot make it today, please feel free to use any of the existing communication channels to get in touch and stay tuned for further announcements.

@flix1 Maybe you can post the link here as well, for those who are not using Slack.
