Production of four papers on the intersection between art, philosophy and technology to be published on The Philosophers DAO website and blog.
benefit/justification: the benefits of the project are: to produce content for the website and blog of The Philosophers DAO, increasing the traffic of people and thus attracting artists, philosophers and other researchers to join the DAO and the NEAR Ecosystem. For this, we will make a public call for the production of four papers of up to 1500 words on the following topics: art, philosophy and/or technology.
the project:
Interested candidates must submit an abstract to the NEAR Forum (in response to the Proposal for this project) within five days of the publication of the public call. Selected candidates must deliver the papers by July 31, 2022 for publication on the website.Four authors will be selected and each one will receive the amount of 100usd in Near.

We released a bounty for choosing 4 philosophical papers on Art, Philosophy, Culture, and/or Technology, and mint them as NFTs, in order to stimulate the philosophers to use the blockchain and the development of NFTs from writing material. We’ve chosen the papers through telegram and we confirmed it on astro.
We minted 4 NFTs (50 copies each, half for the dao) from the chosen papers, with royalties and revenues divided between the philosophers and the dao. Each writer received 100 usd in near.
Payout to the winners (4 members of the community receiving 100 usd in dai each):
The project was completed in the appropriate time.
Highlights and Final Products:
We could produce 4 papers on philosophy and 4 NFTs on Mintbase, with revenue and royalties split among the writer and the dao.
400 DAI distributed to the community
NFTs:
Texts:
Learnings:
The project was ok, but we had not so much time to develop it, so the writers had some difficulties to mint the NFTs. For a text bounty, a fair amount of people participated. As it is difficult for writers and philosophers to start minting, and they had problems, we are thinking in having a person to do this job for all of our projects instead of letting the writers doing it.
Was a bit busy yesterday, will try to mint again today. I think I got it now, just left out a step. WIll reach out with any questions, sorry for the delay.
