Hi @INFINITY, Thanks for your progress update.
Getting started with a NEAR CityNode is hard work and we appreciate the effort you are investing in raising awareness and educating the people in Mukachevo.
I am grateful to learn about the positive impact that NEAR have had in some the lives of the people.
As we would do with any CityNode, we will need to meet on a monthly basis and discuss the progress made against objectives.
Thank you for your valuable contribution.
Dear Valentine,
What the purposes for your local city node? Near is already has one hub in Kyiv, Ukraine (their monthly budget (office expenses) is
$2000 + $60 web server ([PROPOSAL] RU Community Guild)
vs
$13 500 ( $5000 your monthly salary + $3000 for your 2 assistance + $5500 for office and other expenses) (1N = $10)
Kiev hub $2060 vs Mukachevo $13 500
wow
Kiev population 2 988 000 vc 83 903 in Mukachevo
The artist already got a payment from you a month ago (money granted to your sister in July);

Why do you need a second assistance?
First one is Yana.
What they are learning ? Could you please show us their studying process / progress ?
Why do you need these people? Do you wanna pay to landlord $1500 just because he is your best friend?
Flori UA is your own business
Proof:
Do you wanna pay her monthly salary with Near budget? Are you seriously?
Average office cost in Mukachevo with furniture
around 3500UAH ($131) . Why do you ask 200N ($2000) + N350 ($3500 for other expenses)?
Valentine, just a month ago you rented an office for Kick node for $150, why are you requesting $2000 now ?
Have a great day!
Dear Valentine, could you also please show your proof of expenses in near wallet transactions. Unfortunately, couldn’t find copter’s pictures on your videos -$51, high-quality shooting - $ 150, Excursion to a castle: 30 people x 300 UAH - 9000 UAH - 328 $, Fireworks.
Have a great day!
This is one month. Although part of the team has already been without funding since September 5th, and some since September 9th, which is simply not acceptable. This is terribly demoralizing to the community and raises doubts about the possibility of permanent collaboration. And this is taking into account the fact that some members of the community (for example, me and my sister) work up to 20 hours a day !!! And there were siluchais when I did not sleep for several days in a row. If you think that with such a load I asked for a lot, then I just don’t understand anything.
I think the point is more that this work you all have been doing wasn’t pre-approved. Community projects are general APPROVED before work gets started so that funding guidelines can be established. This is something I have already discussed with you on several occasions previously.
Stating that you already did work and worked 20 hours a week on a project doesn’t mean that the funding for those worked hours should come from the NEAR Foundation.
It is important that it’s clear and understood, in my opinion, that community groups are able to recieve funding for their initiatives that support the NEAR ecosystem, but these initiatives should
be approved BEFORE work is done. It seems like there is a misunderstanding on this point.
I think what is not understood is the sequence of events to recieve funding from the NEAR Foundation. Proposal comes before the work.
I corrected the reporting according to the model approved here, and I hope that now there will be no problems. ))
You are wrong, I said 20 hours a day)) No matter how strange and unusual it may sound))
@INFINITY Thank you for a hark work and valuable contribution! Have you analyzed your activities during the hackathon, what indicators did you manage to achieve? Mukachevo received a rather impressive budget, but I have not seen any submitted applications related to the Mukachevo Local Node. Please share your feedback about the Mukachevo local node performance.
Hi Vadim. I will try to close all questions as much as possible. As you can see, we have started a lot of social interactions that open up exciting new perspectives. (for example, the fact that we were invited to the conference and already introduced to the organizer of the conference and the creator of the Trustee Wallet, which, as I was told by more than 400k users. Or my appearances on television have already led to the fact that I was stopped on the street and asked to sell them NEAR . Perhaps you can tell me how you can get statistics on such situations?). Can you show an example of the analytics you want to see?
In order to make our costs more transparent, we decided to create a chat in Telegram, where we will publish the main expenses of Lockal Node. Telegram: Join Group Chat
Just joined the chat.

Dear @illia ,
1)Valentine didn’t answer on any counsels and Near Community members questions;
2)Didn’t give information about Kick Node expenses. Spent money for his friends , his employee , taxi (please see proofs above).
Just look at 3 rented offices for the Kick off in Mukachevo for instance.
3)They both with his sister have cash back found (their artist pay 25% royalty to them);
He does his work on 100% not transparent, but probably, has supreme power here and can avoid it.
Now, he got $23 000 for unknown purposes.
Have a great day!
Hey @INFINITY! It’s not the first time when you have asking a lot of questions after requests to publish your results. You had a Mukachevo Local Node, did you make any retro and analyse what was good and what was bad? It would be very helpfull for all of us to follow the best practices from every contributor. Mukachevo node doesn’t generate hackathon submissions but it is not the end of the world, many other local nodes have the same score. So please just share inicators of your activity.
I’m confused about private chat to “publish the main expenses of Lockal Node”. This gov forum was created exactly for this reason, so the best place to publish anything about your grants is this forum.
I think we have two distinct views here, one that a City Node should educate people and the other that it should promote use of Near and its apps to the maximum number of people.
As the definition here is quite subjective, this makes room for these interpretations.
Smaller groups to build legitimate communities
Whether it’s a mass adoption project or an education project, the parameters for measuring success in both cases are quite different.
When it comes to mass adoption, it is clear that Mukachevo City is not one of the first options (few inhabitants). For education initiatives, we expect results that measure the evolution of those involved, constant tests for their knowledge, any way to measure the impact on a city, a roadmap to achieve user retention, etc.
This all has to be defined in detail beforehand in order to make a consistent budget and then be approved. I think the initial approval does not guarantee that the continuation of the initiative should not be transparent and organized.
The idea of more offices with the size of the chosen city, with this organization and transparency, seems a little unreasonable to me. But it all depends on Core’s direction regarding the City Nodes initiative.
Dear Valentine, why did you remove me from your group again ? I joined in the group third time.
It was my first appearance there:
@David_NEAR Thank you very much for your comment. And every question it suggests is perfectly appropriate. But, please tell me, why should a part of the community indicate payment in USD, and when doing their job, receive a reduced payment, and part of the community should receive 300N, and the payment is recorded in NEAR? In addition, I created a telegram chat, where I began to dump my expenses, but for some reason no one went there except @Grace , which I invited myself
Thanks to Vadim for the good advice. The retrospective is very good, and this is exactly what we talked about today. Now I finally understand (maybe) what you mean. When I return to Mukachevo I will prepare a retrospective.
