[Community Review] Pre-discussion: 8th NumbersDAO voting topic community review

[Steffdarz]

Topic: Revising CAPTCHA Requirements in NumbersDAO

Overview

Dear Numbers DAO,
Reflecting on past discussions and the DAO's trajectory, we notice a significant portion of the community still haven't owned a CAPTCH-A. In our pursuit of greater inclusivity and active participation in Numbers DAO, we believe a bit of change to the CAPTCH-A acquisition requirement is necessary. This community review is proposed to discuss how we can effectively lower the entry barrier for new and existing members.

Currently the CAPTCH-A requirement is as following :

Proposed Changes :

1. Pebble Tier Changes :

• Option to stake (30 days) or burn.
• Stake 1,000 NUM or burn 200 NUM for Pebble access.

2. Snow Tier Adjustments :

• Eliminate whitelist requirements.
• Reduce staking amount from 5,000 to 3,000 NUM.
• Decrease burn requirement from 5,000 to 1,000 NUM.
• Extend stake duration from 30 to 60 days.

Rationale Behind the Changes:

1. The current model offers little incentive for obtaining Pebble. By introducing a staking option, we provide a more accessible path for community interaction in the DAO voting room.
2. Adjusting Snow tier requirements is aimed at encouraging broader participation. Lowering the financial threshold should attract a more diverse group of stakeholders.
3. Eliminating whitelist requirements for Snow will encourage new members to participate in Numbers DAO and extending the staking duration will ensure only a dedicated community member with long-term vision will be able to participate in the voting process.

These proposals are driven by the belief that a more inclusive and flexible entry system will not only boost engagement but also align with our core values of diversity and community-driven growth. We encourage each member to share their perspectives on these proposed changes, as your insights are invaluable in shaping the future of NumbersDAO.
Remember, this writing is not meant to sway your opinion but rather to foster dialogue and broaden our collective understanding. Thank you for your continued commitment to the community.

Entering Community Review
Just like previous DAO meeting topics, this Numbers Governance Proposal will undergo community review for 14 days until May 10th. During this time, I encourage the Numbers community to share their thoughts and concerns on GitHub issues and discuss openly on our many social channels regarding this proposal. I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Hello NumbersDAO Community,

I've reviewed the proposed changes to the CAPTCHA requirements, and I appreciate the effort to make participation more inclusive and accessible. Here are my thoughts on the proposed adjustments:

1. Pebble Tier Changes:

   • Staking Option: Introducing a staking option for Pebble access is a great idea. It allows members who may not be able to afford burning tokens a chance to participate. This could encourage more people to join and stay active in the community.
   • Burning Option: While burning tokens can be beneficial for the token economy, the amount required should be reconsidered. Perhaps lowering it slightly more would prevent potential participants from feeling hesitant about the irreversible loss of tokens.

2. Snow Tier Adjustments:

   • Eliminating Whitelist Requirements: This is a positive step towards removing barriers for new members. It simplifies the process and makes it more transparent for everyone interested.
   • Adjusting Staking and Burning Requirements: Reducing these thresholds is sensible and should help attract a broader audience. However, the significant decrease in the burning requirement (from 5,000 to 1,000 NUM) might need to be monitored to see if it impacts the perceived value of holding and using NUMs.
   • Extending Stake Duration: Increasing the duration from 30 to 60 days is a good move. It encourages longer-term commitment from the members, which can enhance stability and community engagement.

General Thoughts:
These changes seem well-thought-out and aimed at increasing participation without diluting the quality of engagement. It’s important that these adjustments are communicated clearly and frequently to ensure all members understand the new opportunities and requirements.

Thank you for considering my feedback. I believe these changes could positively impact our community, making it more vibrant and diverse.

These careful modifications seem strategically crafted to boost involvement while upholding engagement quality. Ensuring all members understand the new opportunities and requirements through clear and frequent communication is crucial.
NumbersProtocol's openness to feedback is valued. I'm hopeful that putting these adjustments into effect could cultivate a community that is more vibrant and inclusive.

[DexstarJay]

These proposed changes in CAPTCH-A requirements are like opening new doors to a wider, more diverse community. It's not just about numbers; it's about inclusivity and empowerment.

[CleanDexlin]

Extending the stake duration and lowering the financial threshold for Snow tier demonstrates a commitment to fostering a community of dedicated, long-term stakeholders. This isn't just about participation; it's about building a community invested in the future of NumbersDAO.

[Lasheron]

Over all the proposal a lot of positive aspects that is increasing the community involvement lowering the barrier to entry this will over all help in the governance of numbers protocol

Meanwhile there are a few negative, the old users who have brought the the CAPTCHA either by staking or burning how would it impact the existing members

Overall there are more pros , great initiative!

[Amb-Wizhy]

The proposed CAPTCH-A requirement changes aim to expand community inclusivity and empowerment. These modifications strategically enhance involvement and maintain engagement quality. Clear and frequent communication about new opportunities and requirements is crucial for all members. NumbersProtocol's openness to feedback is appreciated, and implementing these adjustments could foster a more vibrant and inclusive community.

[Cryptoguy86]

I think it's a great way to increase the adoption of NUM token to ease owning CAPTCHA for more interactive from the community to help build a great decentralized DAO and to increase the usage of NUM token for staking and or BURN to increase the value and the purpose of the CAPTCHA. Great idea.

Note: If you can make a purpose of collecting more type of CAPTCHA and getting the full collection of CAPTCHA,for different cause and interaction with the project.

[Probiduc]

The proposed adjustments to the NumbersDAO tiers are a smart move towards inclusivity and active engagement. Introducing staking for Pebble and revising Snow requirements could indeed make participation more accessible and appealing. It's essential to ensure these changes are clearly communicated to foster a well-informed and vibrant community. Your openness to dialogue is commendable, and these changes have the potential to enrich the NumbersDAO ecosystem significantly.

[Profkingkeys]

Extending the staking duration for the Snow tier might be a positive step towards ensuring long-term commitment from participants. However, it's worth exploring if there are alternative solutions that achieve the same goal without potentially discouraging participation. Also Consider a tiered burn structure for the Pebble tier. This could incentivize users to burn more $NUM for faster access while providing a lower burn option for budget-conscious users.

[emmerson121]

This is a welcomed development, it'll promote Inclusiveness as already mentioned.

I'm glad the team came up with this idea, with this, I'll also participate!

[bayana15]

In as much as this latest development will bring in involvement and make it easy for many to participate, please let's do it, thanks.

[Humblecarnelian]

The proposed changes to the CAPTCH-A requirements in NumbersDAO reflect a thoughtful approach to enhancing inclusivity and participation within the community. Introducing a staking option for the Pebble tier and adjusting Snow tier requirements demonstrate a commitment to incentivizing engagement and attracting a more diverse group of stakeholders.
Overall, I believe these changes align well with the DAO's core values and promote transparent, collaborative decision-making.

[Carina470]

Introducing a staking option can incentivize members to become more actively involved in the Dao's activities, as it provides them with an opportunity to earn rewards while contributing to the community. This could also lead to greater commitment and engagement from members of NumbersProtocol, as they have a vested interest in the success of the NumbersDao.

[Karen5-hub]

I support the changes aimed at enhancing inclusivity and participation. The introduction of staking options and adjustments to Snow tier requirements are positive steps towards lowering entry barriers. Looking forward to contributing to the community review process.
