[FORMAL COMPLAINT] - Case 00

Cid, don’t quote Expokids, because I suggested it, and you thought I was going to propose charging, and I said it was inside the gambiarra building. And I would never charge, the 3xr was not working on the day.

And then he even told me that I had to take care of “My cedes to victory”, since he had just said that he wasn’t talking about a proposal but about using a space that was leased, being paid for you.

I asked Isa for help to set up the exhibition there.

I have been working with you on the past 9 months and I know you have helped me to get in to the ecosystem and for this I am grateful, however, I can not stand for someone that is clearly trying to manipulate people for its own profit. I always have positioned against your FORCED parcel rent on Gambiarra. You was on the hospital at the time, and everyone was worried and many times I spoked to you when you was there wishing you to get better… Then one day, you decided to cancel a project that would benefit me and Isa for building a place for Gambiarra just for you to get paid for ONE MORE RENT and WITHOUT telling me anything. I told you this was wrong and you came with a lot of explanations that explained nothing at all. You are privileged compared to most of the people of this community, wich a lot of them came from poor places as me and we are being able to get paid for things we love to do. Im leaving Metaverse and Spiritual DAO, for I can’t stand for such behavior. You tried to put me against them, and tryed to saboutage their things and now you act as that “NO” it wasnt an act of war against the people you where once working with. You are acting like there is nothing going on. People started to get against you for you own acts and you keep playing the victm. Please, Stop.

Its very sad that i cant prove moral and psychological abuse.
But I’m very scared to deal with this situation, that I’ve being systematically exploited since September 2021. But how to prove this subjective violence???

This matter has so many quotes, leads and proves, that i feel that i cant help it more digging in to many private massages to show something else, revisiting my traumatic experience with this human.

I just wanna ask @Isa_Danoninho @filmesdeinfiltracao @Dazo @gushlewis and @Natashacremonese if they witness any moral abuse, persecution or if’v being manipulated to stand against me at some level.

Something that make me really sad is that i got gaslighting by contest his oppinion on a matter of his proposition(not a proposal, cause he did convience @Isa_Danoninho and @gushlewis to be part of it, working, for him to earn). As concil, on gambiarra context, as i concern and listen from other concil members and also @macieira that didnt want to be concil, caus e he wants to submit proposals, he didnt had the right to propose nothing like this, a proposal on the bugdet of 1000 dollars were all other public proposals has 500 to realize relevant projects such as Expo Kids or Feminu Expo, and so on. He think his profit is more important than a brazillian artist community to grow.
The metaverse “real estate speculation” its completely indecent, as all can see around ecosystem, he convince many users that it worth to pay him 500$ dollar on this parcel.
Imagine, 500 $ its around 2500 Brl, its almost double of Minimum wage in Brazil. Maybe for Europeans of North Americans it does not make the same sense as for us Latin Americans politics and arts cant be dissociate, even there are humans that lives in a privilege condition, it set off the social inequality wher we live in.
So, when he manipulate the enough people from the DAO to vote on his project, he just shows no respect for all the work we’v being doing.

In this big stressed situation that i really never wanted to deal with,i just want to know what @thephilosopher has to say about my allegation on his behavior.

In my humble opinion, it’s all a matter of mental health, no one can be so synical and greedy to earn in each “deal” and has the courage to keep saying about the common well, could not be in its healthy state of mind. In this sense i can look it not as a personal issue, but a social problem inside our ecosystem. Maybe we can disscus this topic in a soon future, to prevent other catastrofic out comes, like this sad formal complaint.

Hello all,

we can see that there is some back and forth with accusations and rebuttals.
The moderator’s team is trying to look at all the information presented and figuring a way of helping solve this issue.

For that, we are trying to look at this episode in regards to 2 different aspects:

  • The first in relation to the wider community; is there behaviour that prevents any of the individuals or DAOs in this dispute continuing getting support from the Creatives DAO?
  • The second in relation to the inner workings of DAOs, which are independent entities; is there behaviour that, although reprehensible, escapes the jurisdiction of the Moderators team and should be solved within the community?

Please understand the difference between the 2. For further assistance and moderation on specific topics, tag one of the Creatives DAO community moderators with a specific question or issue.

Also, it would be helpful to the Moderator’s job if everyone try to step away from personal-only targeted attacks. The clearer the complaints are, the better the moderation team can understand the problem and try to address it.

Let’s keep the discussion in line with the Community Guidelines. :pray:

We will continue monitoring this topic and this conflict, and try to present a more detailed response tomorrow.

Thank you all

I only ask that you wait for names like @Dazo , @macieira , @filmesdeinfiltracao and @Ghini to speak up, after all people have their normal lives and jobs and still dedicate time to the community.
They just haven’t had time to position themselves, but it will happen.

And regarding individuals with behaviors that should be barred from receiving funding, I reinforce: Rodrigo Cid @thephilosopher

I didn’t come here to put my face out for free.
I bring links that prove the conduct, prints and audios.

It’s not just me talking, it’s a whole community.
I find it very strange that he is the founder of gambiarra and everyone is afraid of him and want him away.
Do people in your DAO treat you like this?

Why do you think he rented his own land in the Metaverse Dao? Where he is council.
Just from the Metaverse Dao he gets 1000USD without doing a project!
And the guy wanted at all costs to rent the land to the gambiarra.

His speech is always I want the good of the community, the growth of the community, bla bla bla…
So why didn’t he encourage us to use Near Hub instead of cryptovoxels?

BECAUSE HE IS STORYTELLING CRYPTOVOXELS.

I went to meet @blusw in person last Saturday to apologize for the things I said and thought about him.
Yes Cid took advantage of the most insensitive way of acting to turn me against him. When I realized what I had said, I felt unfair.

And in the same way that I apologized to you, looking you in the eye, I come here to expose the prints and audio and apologize publicly for the image that I had built about you.
I let myself get carried away by a person who only lets people close to her if they bow their heads and obey.
I saw with my own eyes the magic that was the EAT event ([CLOSED BOUNTY] Share EAT: Art and Technology Encounter @nomadelabel-dao) , in a building in the center of São Paulo, a building that has resisted for 10 years and that gives home to artists in street situations. I saw with my eyes that you are resistance in this corrupt country. I saw with my eyes the people that were benefited by this event.

I left the capitalist system to enter the DAO systems with the dream of decentralization, with the dream of working together, being collective, being community.
I won’t accept that a bourgeois that doesn’t put his mother in the dough, threatens people on phone calls, humiliates people in public groups, manipulates the weakest and most ignorant in his favor, thinks he is superior because he studied philosophy and is well connected in the ecosystem.

We can’t let these kinds of people grow at the expense of the lesser ones here!!!

I want something done yes!!!

That the only thing you creatives can do is stop creatives funding for Rodrigo.

That he paid the rent of the cryptovoxels for himself with the DAO budget.

If you can ask a Brazilian friend to help you translate the audios and texts, on this link I am uploading all my evidence against him.

Hello @Isa_Danoninho that link asks access. Let’s keep it that way and each moderator asks for individual access, or do you want to make the link public?

According to the community guidelines:

Where it says, " You shouldn’t" :

1 Make personal attacks on other community members;
6 Intimidate or make inflammatory comments to other community members;

The person in question had these attitudes, it was very disappointing to me that Rodrigo spoke extremely rude things to me, to other people.

When he posted on the astro to vote against Gambiarra, I felt even more disappointed.
1 because I am a teacher, I also teach, I know that my attitudes influence my students and also the people who like me,
I always try to be careful not to be rude to people because I know how painful it can be.
2 We didn’t know as much as he did, and it seems to me from the whole situation, he always ended up taking advantage since we knew almost nothing about Near.
I started researching how to create a dao, what I needed.
And I found out that Gambiarra never had a well defined roadmapping, dao values or anything like that.
I also made sure to always state how important it is to have an internal regulation based on GOV NEAR’s fundamentals.
Because a democratic movement is built through consolidated bases, and not in manipulation, and detention of information as was done.

I contacted people asking about what a Dao was, because we didn’t even know that for sure, so I also found out that it is possible to define configurations, such as who votes, how the votes are made, at the moment the Dao is opened.

Inclusive I had a strong insight, and together with two serious people, who work hard, we wrote the @octópode-dao, which carries the name of my studio in the outskirts of the city where I live, a piece inside the house where I work. Simple humble, and cozy, but very serious, always organized. Just as the presentation was made.

Back to the subject, I believe that from the moment that several people show that there is an oppressor acting within a community, most of these people being women, who feel coerced or harassed, it is necessary to talk about how the community should act with this member.
Punish? Ban? Talk? Appoint a psychologist? Treatment?
Finally, we don’t know, but I believe that dialogue will always bring light to willing consciences.

I represent, as do other women, a small portion of the population that has access to the internet, that makes nfts, which if memory serves me correctly are 5% women, not to mention that I do not speak fluent English, I use the translator a lot, I have been working since I was 15 years old formally, I study a lot, I am a teacher, so we have to understand that too… How are we making Web 3 accessible? How are we building our cultures? Or how are we going to modify a system that oppresses diverse peoples, in this case the capitalist system?
It is impossible not to talk about privileges, many of us artists are finally accessing a minimum of dignity, and I speak for myself, having access to a doctor, medicine, leisure, books, being able to study? with more tranquility, and still contribute to society, in my case, through volunteer work, creative proposals that enable society outside the near to access a certain abundance, like buying from the local economy, and having resources for this.
For Rodrigo, maybe the feeling of accomplishment for working with what he likes, and getting paid, never happened.
For the first time many of us, I speak for myself too, I see my art being bought, my work with advertising flourishing, my studio welcoming colleagues, and also bringing people to the forum, like the case of a theater teacher who is part of Gambiarra, or like a childhood friend who is a beatmeaker, a cultural producer whom, I invited to Octopode dao, to make the tracks, to coining music.

I am methodical, I don’t like to do things by industrial quantity, I like to do a lot, work a lot, create a lot, but with due attention.
And maybe that’s why I can’t follow the sick rhythm that Rodrigo was trying to do with Gambiarra, when I didn’t agree and my colleagues also didn’t agree to accept free stuff, in this case works, it was thinking about the valorization of labor, especially in our case, autonomous people from Brazil, qualified, peripheral, and that are working, they don’t want to work less and earn more, they want to work, and be valued.
We did market research, we looked at the values paid in the US, Portugal, what was the average salary for a designer, social media, marketing manager, and maybe we will never reach the same financial level, but we have the same quality.
And it is possible to find them, just look at our work.
The team, the artists of Gambiarra.

When one of us is successful, we rejoice, it makes us contagious, because we don’t want to take his place, we want to grow together, or in the same way, make it possible for other people to do the same, as Ghini did, as we did when we invited again I say Carlos, who is a theater teacher and was unemployed, and was able to get resources to present his work.

Gambiarra has members rich in intelligence, love and generosity, and the attacks we suffered were perverse.

One of these days a girl called me to take care of 7 social networks, 7 posts per week in each, for 400USD, this is absurd, it is the same as saying that because we are Brazilians, or because we are people who need to work, we should accept small amounts, the market value is another. We know that.
The network is

To finish, I leave the reflection since you like books so much.

"What science and training for a scientist do not offer us is wisdom. Modern science emerged in a culture that values ​​appropriation and wealth, that treats knowledge as a source of power, that promotes growth and control, that respects hierarchies and domination, who glorifies appearances and success, and who has lost sight of wisdom and no longer knows how to cultivate it. We scientists, in our efforts to do what we love most, in short, scientific research, often we are imprisoned by the passions, desires and goals of our culture and we think that the expansion of science justifies everything, being blind to wisdom and the way to learn it. Wisdom thrives in respect for others, in the recognition that power emerges in submission and loss of dignity, in the acceptance that love is the emotion that constitutes social coexistence, honesty and trust, and in the recognition that the world in which we live is always, inevitably, our construction. But if science and scientific knowledge do not provide wisdom, at least they do not deny it. (Maturana, 1991:50)

You know, I am very sad about everything that is happening, because the injustices don’t stop.

What has made people shut up all this time is the fear of losing their jobs and projects, their source of income!

Look at @gushlewis , he was leaving as council of Metaverse Dao and Spiritual Dao.

Can you understand the level of manipulation of this guy?
And how untouchable he is?

In a conversation on the day @JohnX left as council of Metaverse Dao and Spiritual Dao, I asked Cid why he left, the answer was: "he is dealing with all this outside the council so as not to harm us.
Why did Gus have to leave and not him from Daos?
Why double standards?
I am tired of injustice.

Answer me @thephilosopher why the rule that you applied in John was not applied to you?

Hello everyone,

There is a lot of information to tease out here and as moderators, we are doing our best to do so with full integrity and care. This is developing into a complex situation with many layers and it would be irresponsible to jump to conclusions or make quick decisions. We will be keeping all our communication around this complaint community-oriented to maintain transparency so no direct messages to moderators will be accepted around this at this time.

We are identifying the main issues within all this information and are working on how to move forward currently and should have clear steps within 2 days.

We ask that everyone please pause any further accusations or rebuttals and only post if you have clear evidential information to add.

Thank you again,

Hello everyone

I can’t deny that @thephilosopher brought a lot of lessons to my trajectory inside DAOs, I learned a lot of things, we exchanged a lot of experiences and I met a lot of exceptional people inside Near Protocol.
But it doesn’t justify his suspicious attitudes of corruption, his actions that are not consistent with decentralization and his behavior with Dao members (including me).

I could summarize it all in one simple paragraph

What makes a person be Council of 4 DAOs, submit project for renting his own land within all DAOs and most of it always being approved by two people.
Philosopher says he is part of a decentralized community with centralized practices.
Here’s some reflection

Let’s get to the facts:

1. List item “But as soon as I left the council, in the first meeting, with around 4 people from the 16 members from Gambiarra DAO at that time, Dazo - one of these 4 people - brought a proposal to enlarge the period for people to be council from 3 to 6 months, and Isa on telegram suggested that we also voted a 6 month reelection period. As soon as I saw that, I made another proposal for that period to be 3 months, as we had agreed before, and I added a possibility of reelection, because Dazo already told me that he was interested in continuing in the council. Both proposals failed in astrodao (Six month: https://app.astrodao.com/dao/gambiarra-dao.sputnik-dao.near/proposals/gambiarra-dao.sputnik-dao.near-81 Three months: https://app.astrodao.com/dao/gambiarra-dao.sputnik-dao.near/proposals/gambiarra-dao.sputnik-dao.near-82), but that was a first red flag for me. There were 2 more red flags that made me leave Gambiarra, and I will talk about them now.”

I did express interest in increasing the council period from 3 to 6 months because our DAO is formed by new enthusiastic members and because we are learning and dedicating ourselves more and more to grow together. The reason given was that 3 months would be too short to develop the functions because we would all have to learn, and as soon as a council got some practice it would have to leave for the entrance of a new council, and so this cycle would repeat with the new councils. At first it was a conversation within the telegram group (deleted by Philosopher) and then we took it to Astro for approval, because all members agreed with the reason. Philosopher then showed up with a proposal on Astro without communicating anyone, requesting a 3-month period of council, which was already our current policy at that time. You can check the links of the 6 months poll created by me and with votes from most of the DAO and another poll created by Philosopher without the consent of the members and voted only by him and Beco. We let it expire for the reason that we would take the subject again to our weekly meeting, because as he himself says in the text above that this had only been discussed between 4 members in a Dao of 16 members.

2. List item “About the second red flag: Gambiarra has a marketing team that submits projects to the Marketing DAO, in order to get resources to Gambiarra Marketing activities. So far so good. But someone from the Design Guild (that Isa wrongly called Mktdao) offered us to make an entire design project for our Guild. I told this person that I imagined that we would love it and I was invited to the Design Guild discord. When I brought the news to Gambiarra DAO, the marketing team was not happy and told me they already are a marketing team and they don’t need the Design Guild. I told them that the Design Guild would not be a competitor and that, if we do not like it, we could not use the products that they would be going to produce. I also told them that the Design Guild receives from NEAR to do this job, so we would not have to pay anything nor stop paying our marketing team (that has other functions beyond design). Gambiarra’s marketing team refused help from the Design Guild. I could not see a good reason to not use the free help offered by the Design Guild. That was the second red flag.”

This subject about marketing had already been commented in another moment within the telegram group (deleted by Philosopher) and in the first conversation Philosopher even demonstrated to have understood, but after days he returned with the same subject, but this time it seemed not to conform with our opinions already decided on this subject.
Our decision was not to refuse, on the contrary, we were happy that this service exists within the community to help those who still don’t have a design job ready. In our case we already had a monthly demand ready, everything was aligned and scheduled, our Marketing team already works with monthly planning and accepting this work would change our social media schedule and would still take away from those who need it. We already had a project being paid for this so it didn’t make sense at that moment.
Our Marketing team even got upset with the way Philosopher spoke to the members, because he was not satisfied that we already had an opinion about this matter. Our friend Natasha, a member of the team, felt bad about this at the time.

3. List item “The third red flag happened with Mintbase. Maria, from Mintbase, offered us a channel on Mintbase discord channel. She even made a poll to know if we want the channel, and that poll had only positive votes, no vote against it. Then, again, Gambiarra marketing team spoke against the channel, and I had to remember that a channel in a server like Mintbase is marketing for us, a place to shill etc. Again, I could not understand the resistance of the marketing team to join forces with others that want to help.”

This day seemed a foggy day, all subjects in the group Gambiarra - Mintbase were leaving sparks, it seemed that everyone was exhausted that day, but no one was disrespectful to anyone, were just divergent opinions being discussed on a not very good day, but in the end everyone apologized and we continue our relations normally. On this day one of the issues in question was to have a Gambiarra tab within the Mintbase Discord and that was where several different opinions came up (because it was in a group with more than 100 people) that caused this stress and where I believe to have been the end point for the Philosopher within Gambiarra, because he was unhappy. After that I called @marianeu on inbox and told her that I would take the subject proposal to our weekly DAO meeting and that after the meeting I would give her an answer about our decision to have a Gambiarra tab inside Mintbase discord and vice versa. I also suggested that depending on the subject of Gambiarra and Mintbase, it could be discussed first among us from DAO and then we would take it to the larger group of over 100 people. After the DAO meeting all members found important the proposal for exchange and support and the next day I have already passed to Maria our approval to set up a Gambiarra Shill in Mintbase’s Discord.

4. List item " In this time, March 17th, I had already received my payout for council work. But when Dazo asked me to return half of the resources paid, I gave the treasury back 250 DAI, given the council payment is 500 usd, as requested in our funding proposal ([APPROVED] Gambiarra DAO Funding for March 2022). Dazo argued that I was paid in near and that I should give near back to the treasury, and given the near high, it would be more than 250 usd in near that I would have to pay. So I did not accept it. He argued that we had a conversion rate to pay people, and that is right. We made a conversion rate, in order for us to have how to pay people when near drops. And this conversion rate is being used by Dazo to make me pay more than what is due. As this is a debateful issue, I prefer to listen to the moderators’ opinions concerning this matter."

Gambiarra DAO agreed among members that the treasury balance would be kept in Near and payments would be made in Near at the conversion of the date of receipt of funds. So this account gave 48.12 Near for each payment to the councils and since he returned half, I just reminded him that half of 48.12 would be 24.06. He returned 250 Dai. On March 26, Near was on average U$13.00 so it would be approximately 19 Near. But when I tried to explain politely he questioned my morality, said that I was taking advantage of him and exposed me in a disrespectful way in the Gambiarra group with more than 100 people hurting my reputation among the members. What would the members think of me from that moment on?
I ask …

5. List item " Now about the wallets. I made a post in the forum about it here: [INFORMATION] Giving the seed phrase from the wallets to Gambiarra DAO. But our problem is that Gambiarra DAO is worried that I will die or disappear and the wallet will become inaccessible, and I am worried that I will always know the seed phrase of this wallet (or at least it will always be possible to say that I know the seed phrase) and could then always be held accountable for anything that happens in these wallets. So we are in a problem that I don’t know how to solve. I really want to pass the wallets to them, but there is this responsibility issue that I don’t know how to solve. I suggested to use a bot to send them the resources as soon as they get to the wallet, but they refused this option. If the moderators have already passed through some situation like ours, I ask you to help us to get out of the conflict."

Gambiarra owns the wallet, this request for the wallet’s ownership has been requested since his departure. We have in this wallet royalties from almost 100 artists and we already have artists with more than 100 minted works. Our preoccupation is in relation to a precaution, because a fact that cannot be denied is that all of us will leave this plan one day, we just don’t know the day, but this hypothesis cannot be discarded. (5 LIST ITEM RESOLVED)

6. List item “Now about the problem of incompatibility between being in the Gambiarra council and in the Metaverse DAO, I talked to Isa the same thing that @tabear told me: that we should preserve decentralization and we should not have a member of DAO in 2 or more DAOs in the Creatives council. So, the same way I left Gambiarra DAO to stay only in the Metaverse DAO, I told Isa that she could not be in 2 DAOs in the Creatives council, and that she must choose between being a council of Gambiarra or being a member of Metaverse DAO. I told her that by being a member of Metaverse DAO she has voting power, and that by being council on Gambiarra DAO too. I also told her I could not decide for Metaverse DAO and that I would take this to the council. She said she had to accept the council job from Gambiarra because of the resources that were double the amount she receives by producing the parties, and I assured her that even if she were not a member from Metaverse DAO anymore, she could keep building her parties and her project. She said she was ok, if the council thus decided. In the end, she ended up not being council from Gambiarra, but she was a member, so she would have voting power in both DAOs, which defeats decentralization. And defeats it in an interesting way, because at Gambiarra the members vote before the council, so the members can decide any matter without the council. So when we decided that Isa must not be a member anymore, we were protecting decentralization. And, as we told her she could keep building her parties, I simply do not understand how I was harming her.”

The big issue here was about undermining a DAO member, just like what happened at the Metaverse DAO’s “VoteReject” CFC against our joining the Creatives Council.
That’s where you get the lies … Philosopher would be concerned about decentralization, claimed to have removed Isa because she had become Council of Gambiarra DAO (his main reason for the “Removed Member to Role”).
@Isa_Danoninho was not Council of the Gambiarra and that was the argument he used to remove her and at the same time still created a “VOTEREJECT” CFC trying to prevent our approval in Creatives.
Contradictory; if Philosopher was still trying to reject our entry into the Creatives council why did he already remove Isa?
If you look at Isa’s dismissal you can see that it happened even before the Gambit was approved at Creatives.
- Isa Removed 03/25/22
- Approval of Gambiarra to Creatives council 03/29/22

How can he argue that he removed her defending decentralization before he even knew the outcome of the CFC of Gambiarra’s entry to Creatives? He claimed that it was because she became council on Gambiarra and this practice is not morally correct.
Isa was removed arbitrarily because @gushlewis the ex-Council of Metaverse has already spoken out (report from Gus the ex-member of Metaverse DAO) saying that he was against Philosopher’s attitudes and he didn’t even know about this vote.
Totally unreasonable arguments. How did he take this authoritarian attitude without the consent of all Metaverse DAO members?
This is evidence of total disorganization, the same reason given by the Metaverse DAO itself for our disapproval to join Creatives (Look at the poll comments). This is a practice of centralization of power. You can see that in every DAO where he is council, he takes Juice and together they approve almost everything with only two votes.

7. List item “Contrary to what Isa seems to think, I believe people are autonomous and that we should help them to get knowledge. Before leaving the council, I tried to teach the interested members how to make CFCs (Isa is included in that class), in order for them to know how to do an important part of what is to be a council member from the creatives: to vote by using CFCs. You can see these CFCs in the failed proposals on Gambiarra Astrodao. I taught them, but after I left they did not even vote on the CFCs (https://app.astrodao.com/dao/gambiarra-dao.sputnik-dao.near/proposals?status=failed). I think that I always explained everything to everybody. If you go to our community telegram to see the links, you will see how many explanatory links about NEAR I sent there, how I tried to pass the knowledge I had to everybody. I feel it is unfair to say that I try to manipulate the members.”

Philosopher did teach some members of Gambiarra Dao to create CFCs but it was something very improvised because he simply touched on the subject within the group and those who were online followed along. I found very strange the way he wanted us to create CFCs so quickly and vote approving the CFCs presented by him. I particularly found it strange because I didn’t want to simply vote “yes”, I wanted to understand the process of that CFC, to understand the whole process of a CFC. I’m glad I did the right thing by not voting, because the guidelines were outside the Creatives regulation as commented by @ted.iv inside that poll for example.

This is a clear sign of centralization, as you voted as a council for Creatives by Metaverse Dao and Gambiarra Dao (at this time Gambiarra Dao had joined Creatives and for some unknown reason we left Creatives afterwards), as this is not morally correct and is out of the concept of decentralization. But his explanation for this was that he was teaching us and lecturing us. As I said … he did teach us, but what was the interest behind it?
Here is a printout of the conversation about what he said about sharing knowledge and helping the community, look at how he plays on the emotions of the person.

Philosopher wants to help, but more than this he wants to conquer all the spaces for himself, he wants to win for everything.
Indirectly he wanted to charge for all the things he reports in the 7 List Item. He had taught us and thought that it was fair to use his full council pay even if he left his position in the middle of the month. This proves his change of behavior when speaking to the public and to the community, and the difference when speaking to someone in private.
Another detail … He made a point of requesting 1 Near from our Astro with voting expenses. A person who has 3 council positions and 1 leased land in each DAO that is council totaling 1,000USD per DAO, totaling 3,000.00 USD per month with his DAOS. This converted to our Brazilian Real is equivalent to almost R$15,000.00 per month, the equivalent of almost 12 minimum wages (Salario minimo - the minimum wage of Brazilian families).
I ask… how does a Philosopher intellect concentrate so many payments in the decentralized world and at the same time remove members that depend on this work and that are real artists and fight for a space? (example 6 List item)
Council Gambiarra Dao - Terreno locado (Council removido
Council Metaverse Dao - Terreno locado
Council Spiritual Dao - Terreno locado
Council The Philosopher Dao -
When he is not a member he suggests free land as a form of partnership to gain more territory.

8. List item “Isa forgot to tell you that, because of COVID, the Carnival was moved from its original date, at least in Rio de Janeiro. And she also forgot to tell you that I was in the hospital during the entire time of the Carnival. So it is pretty hard to attribute to a person in the hospital, who just made a biopsy to analyse cancer and was taking 7 days of antibiotics in the veins, that was manipulating people. I had no strength even to manipulate myself. Even after returning from hospital, I went to Cryptovoxels to make what I promised. And I went there with Ghini, who was going to be the curator, to know what she would like. She told me that she wanted some floors and glass walls, because she wanted to build internal and external exhibitions. I did just like Ghini asked me. I even put the works in the exhibition on the second floor, but I was waiting for the curator to tell me what she would like more. Ghini was super tired because the Feminu exhibition had just finished and it took a lot of effort from her, and she needed to rest. Unfortunately, before we had a chance to develop the building even more, we had the issues that made me leave Gambiarra.”

About the rent we had a Poll of U$1.000,00 with approval in Astro but for not having resources, Philosopher changed the whole plan and volunteered to do the building service eliminating Isa and Gus from the project, but did not eliminate your rent. He created a new poll in Astro for his Rent and charged me a few times to vote and approve, but I was resistant because I hadn’t seen an outcome in the forum about the 1k project, you can notice how long it took me to make the last approval vote (look at the voting times and dates).

But he assured me that he had talked to Isa and that she was aware of it, and that there would be no problem. There were several conversations with me during the time he was in the hospital where he said in his text that he didn’t even have the strength to manipulate himself, but he was always charging me and even sending me links to his rental votes. Here is a print with dates and video so you can listen to the audio (in Portuguese)
It is worth remembering that Gus also mentions in his text that he talked to him while he was in the hospital
All during the Carnival period, here is a picture to prove it

I want to thank you for the opportunity to clarify the whole truth before the community and show our transparency.
We are working to investigate each fact as clearly as possible and combat bad practices within our ecosystem.

Gambiarra DAO’s entry into Creatives is a natural consequence of a DAO that has had a meteoric rise within the Near ecosystem.
With only 3 months of existence, Gambiarra DAO has managed to accomplish:

  • MintbaseSunday exhibitions, a high impact social media event organized by Macieira;
  • Antimetodo, a project that brings classes to our community organized by Blu;
  • FEMINU (Feminine NFTs Universe) Exhibition, a historical exhibition, featuring 60 artists (cis women, trans women, non-binary women and transvestites) idealized and curated by Ghini, having received around three hundred people at the xyz Museum on the opening day. This project of such greatness that now departs for a new stage, the organization of FEMINU Internacional, having constituted its own DAO that intends to work collaboratively, for example, continuing in partnership with the Gambiarra DAO;
  • Tutorial videos in Portuguese language to help open Near’s portfolio, set up profile and mintar on the Mintbase platform, which facilitated the onboarding of almost 50 artists, on the occasion of FEMINU, increasing by 50% the number of members of the Gambiarra store in less than 30 days;
  • 4Women - a totally volunteer project, with Gambiarra artists, conducted by Macieira, in the Metaverse DAO space;
  • We managed to have a marketing team that moved the social networks that even voluntarily did all the promotion of FEMINU;
  • We diversified our range of action with the Fernando Pessoa project organized by Carlos;
  • We were even invited by Mintbase to have an exclusive tab of our Dao in their discord;

Hard, if not impossible to believe that a disorganized DAO, unable to take on greater responsibilities, could accomplish so much in such a short time. Gambiarra DAO has exceeded all expectations, especially considering its short life span. We are a united, competent, collaborative, participative group that did not fall apart even in its most delicate moment, when its founder and former council Philosopher did not finalize his responsibilities to Gambiarra DAO in mid-March.

I speak on behalf of all Gambiarra Dao members

I want to record here how many DAOs Philosopher was a council member in the month of March alone, this will make it easier to see how many proposed payments were approved on his behalf. Payment of salaries as council and rent of his land approved by only two members (him and one other member).
You can notice that the votes are usually always at the same time, proving the testimonies of the members saying that he sent the link and asked to vote right after

I want to say that this is not about questioning his labor rights, but about the amount of participations in several DAOs with the same position.

It is worth remembering that even with all this accumulation of assets he chose not to contribute with his DAO in the partnership of his land, while in another DAO he offered to partner for free by building the whole building on his own land. We can already see his agility in having already approved this proposal at Astro

We ask for an investigation of the facts and question if this concentration of power is allowed within the decentralized ecosystem

We thank you for your attention and we are at your disposal for any questioning or contribution.

Best regards
Dazo
