AfrikaBurn - Save The Clan
The moment has arrived… the first steps onto a dry, dusty landscape, the sun’s rays are glistening bright and scorching hot.
It is difficult to perceive silhouettes in the distance and yet the anticipation rises immeasurably.
What is it that drives people to this abandoned land in the middle of the African desert? What makes them voluntarily expose themselves to the extremes of nature?
It is freedom. It is the connection. It is love. It is the unconditional being in a world far away from the conventional rules, the omnipresent pressure and the constant competition against others, against time, against oneself.
This is the place that gives you liberty, union and charity unconditionally to all and everyone who opens themselves to it. The very essence of the principles of “Radical Inclusion” (Anyone may be a part of. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.) and “Gifting” (devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value).
This magical place of gathering has gifted unconditionally over the years with an indescribable abundance, without ever seeking anything in return.
And perhaps that is why we, who love this magical place, can hear the silent call for help from afar…
Caring is the act of the heart to support others witth of love. Care is what AfrikaBurn needs now to survive. Sustainability is the only thing that can ensure the survival of this cultural gathering. Without financial support, AfrikaBurn is in existential danger and timely gathering is harder to accomplish. Until the very last minute, the entire organisation is on the verge of collapse.
But what if we can solve it all together, in unity for and with AfrikaBurn?
Burner Claudia Peter has asked herself this question more than once … until she came up with an idea, an opportunity that makes it possible to support AfrikaBurn and its community of artists at the same time, in our increasingly digitalized world. Her fundraising project offers a future oriented, creative, uniting and sustainable solution to the funding problem of AfrikaBurn. At the same time, it provides artists from all over the world with a platform that is progressive and expansive. Furthermore, it is a matter of concern for her and AfrikaBurn to stand up for people, animals and the environment – these aspects are also being supported by this fundraising project.
Fundraising idea
Every sale we make with our NFTs on mintbase.io will help AfrikaBurn to survive.
The goal of the project is to combine art, humanity projects and the crypto world. Creation of win-win-situation for everyone.
Project benefits
With every artist that we onboard, we create more brand awareness for mintbase as well as for NEAR Protocol. Furthermore the transaction fees that are being generated through the minting process of the NFTs.
TASKS
Education Papers
-
1st Priority before all the other Education Papers: TEMPLATE neutral (for Mintbase/NEAR)
Create a simple design for the collab Mintbase and NEAR that we can use for Education Papers. Like a Co-Branding Paper. We need a template in Word and a template in Powerpoint.
We have to consider the brand manual from NEAR as well as from Mintbase.
The new template has to be very neutral and simple because i will use it for different projects in the future.
→ Budget: USD 50 in NEAR
→ Deadline: 03.10.2021
→ Responsibility: @claudinhabelha -
Documentation “Introduction to NEAR Protocol” (what is NEAR? Why is NEAR a green chain? What are the criterias for it? A simple one pager is already existing. We need to add more simple explanation to that. The documents and text we already have, are saved on the google drive i provided. @JohnX you can combine it with the paper you already wrote and make a “mix” from the texts we already have. ok?
→ Budget: USD 30 in NEAR
→ Deadline: within one week after receiving the template
→ Responsibility: @JohnX -
Documentation for the very beginners (people who have never heard anything about crypto)?
what is a blockchain? what is a crypto? what does a “block” mean? what is it compared to the real world? how can I use a blockchain as a person? what is a miner exactly doing? is there always a miner (in every blockchain)? What is Proof of Stake? What is Proof of Work? What is a smart contract?
Maybe you can combine this task with the above one if it is better/easier for you and for the client who will read the paper. Of course you’ll get the money from both tasks. Important is that we have a document for very very very beginners who don’t know anything about the cryptoworld yet. Try to explain it in a “children-language” without too many technical and compolicated words. If you use for example “mint”, write also “upload” or minter=artist or NFT=artpiece … explanations like that will help to onboard more people to projects.
→ please use the programm WORD and the font Arial
→ Budget: USD 100 in NEAR
→ Deadline: within one week after receiving the template
→ Responsiblity: @JohnX -
Documentation Q&A about different questions:
“Why should I invest in an NFT?”
what is my advantage? taxes? whatelse? People ask me a lot “why should someone buy a painting that he won’t put on the wall in his home?” or "why does someone buy virtual land if he can’t really live there? “only to see the paintings on the computer?” “Where do the original of the artpieces go”? “Do I need to send the digital artpiece to the buyer?” “What is the buyer doing with the artpiece?”
