Dear Community,
I’d like to give some context here. We all know why this messy voting happened. Another person submitting a project was the first to send his project and ask for votes before we decided on telegram which projects should be funded, even asking for votes on private messages before all the proposals get on the table. This made everybody put their projects inside astro and run for approval before we decide everything. And this was the case with me too. Here is the proposal that started the run for votes on astro: Astro
I said that I would vote before, even being a council member, because I was in the hospital and I didn’t know when I was going to be able to vote again, and if the other council members did not vote before, we would not have any problems with the votes of the members, that would still have voting power (because 1 council member cannot decide anything alone). It seems all of you are forgetting this point and also forgetting that it was not me who started the run for votes. Beyond that, February 25th (the day I submitted the rent and voted) was the day I had my biopsy, and from that day I was in the hospital up to March 4th. After that, I was recovering from cirgury at home.
I made another proposal on astro, because people were running to submit their proposals on astro and get votes before we decide the proposals to be funded. So when we decided that 1,000 usd proposals were not being funded, Isa’s proposal was already approved, like some other proposals. We could, nevertheless, as council, downvote Iago’s proposal, even with the votes of the members being casted (because it was a 1,000 usd proposal). If you go to the proposals between the end of february and the beginning of march, you can all verify that – mainly if you compare with Gambiarra’s funding proposal for March: [CONCLUDED] Gambiarra DAO Funding for March 2022 Even with all the confusion, we made a funding proposal and we selected the projects to be funded even with the problems on astro. We ignored what was approved on astro and we decided on telegram which projects were going to be approved. So even with my mistake of voting before, this did not affect anything, because we decided a posteriori which projects were going to be funded. You can all see the difference between the proposals approved on astro and the proposals we put in our funding proposal. And beyond all that, what matter the most is this poll: Astro This poll is the approval of Gambiarra’s funding proposal for March. So even with the problems in our votes on astro, Thais made this funding proposal with the projects that were in fact approved by the DAO, and not with all the projects approved on astro. You can see that Isa’s project is approved on astro, but not in the funding proposal. So it is clear that we decided the projects to be funded beyond what was registered on astro: [CONCLUDED] Gambiarra DAO Funding for March 2022.
I agree with you, Thais. I was wrong to bypass the other members in voting first, and for that I am sorry. But please, take into consideration the situation I was in when everything happened. I was in the hospital having a biopsy that day and taking many kinds of meds in my veins more than 3 times a day for 7 days. And I told everyone I was voting before because of that. So sorry if I tried to vote before, but I think I have a pretty good justification for doing so, given I didn’t know what was going to happen with me. My situation was pretty special.
We are all learning, even me. I tried the best I could inside Gambiarra, and I really made mistakes, just like other people. Nevertheless, the votes on the many proposals on astro did not decide the fate of Gambiarra’s funding proposal for March. What decided it was this poll, as I already pointed it, created by Thais and voted by her before all the other members, and also voted by me, as council member: Astro
I am really learning with everything that is happening and seeing that I made some mistakes. Sorry for them. I am human and I was in a pretty dark place with my flesh in necrosis, having to have a biopsy, inside a hospital, without anyone to be there with me (because of covid rules), taking antibiotics, anti inflammatories and painkillers many times a day. I didn’t know even if I was going to be healed, or if I had cancer. I think at least most of you really don’t know what is to pass through a situation like that. I know it is not good to justify actions with a disease, but I really have to show the context here.
I think we must decide what to do now in favor of the community. As I think I have explained myself here, I will wait now for the word of the moderators.
Kind regards to us all.
