[Closed] Increase funding request for the crossword puzzle challenge and community engagement activities

Those posts are not recent. As a matter of fact, someone DM asking when it would reach $1. I went into detail that shitzu is a meme coin and at the whim of manipulation. Once again, we are a meme coin. Have them DM me, and I will investigate and see when they bought it. If reasonable, we will refund them

I have sent a message in our TG asking for these members to verify their losses. I find it hard to believe that isolated shills made after May swayed new members to buy the token. Did you verify their losses before forming an opinion

Me too got rekt by buying Near tokens​:slightly_smiling_face:
Where can i apply for refunds ser?
Can i dm you for the same.
Shilling for the same is done by mods admins influencers who are paid here to do so in almost every channel. I need a big refund for the same.
I hope DYOR is never implied anywhere.

Thank you.

Its not at all needed.
Buying is selling is never a financial advice. Its already an implied thing if you are entering into crypto space.
And when it comes to meme coins even the big influencers are making it like shib to 1$. Maybe dacha will be able to help me recover my losses here too.

And on the same line there are stickers saying Near to moon shitzu to moon etc etc.
Hpoing it also acts as a part of refund for everyone. :smiling_imp:

Adding on same.
Nearx exploit made me great losses.
It was promoted in near tg via ama. Even no one wrote NFA in it.
Two audits with a showoff of project having 20+ internal audits.
Bought it after hack and now i am in loss.
Please refund it. It was shilled using near official tg and even near guilds were involved in it.

Ask this promoter for the reimbursement :blush:

Don’t forget to use the phrase in your tweets


I’m not a person who can make refunds. I’m a community member like you and can prevent shilling weird tokens like Shitzu.

  1. Obviously. Each and every word in the social space can be seen as a promotion or shilling. Nfa dyor is always implied when you enter the crypto space.
    Sometimes i wonder if one had invested even a dollar in shib in jan or feb 2021 and hold till now what would be the response. Aurora token from 30$ to 1.5$. I dont know why even price of token is being discussed on forums.

  2. Aint that my choice on what should i do or how should i use my socials? Or is their a guide on how to use socials the dacha way and thats the only way. Otherwise personal attacks will be done.

  3. Who decides if the token is weird or not?
    Lets say for example luna ust which was their on ref plus aurora dex. Didnt these two promote users to use it? I had made huge losses on the same. The losses are unbearable on the same. But its from near degens who promoted it along with other influencers. But i didnt saw a protest on the same. Result is what everyone knows.
    Coming to weird token. Btc itself is a weird token for many. Apart from trust what value it has? Whole crypto is based on trust itself. Aint the same for currenculy notes issued by banks?
    Coming to crypto ausd the over collaterslised coin of polkadot ecosystem by acala network is depegged. Aint that also a weird token?

But again my same question as to who decides if something is weird or not??

Lol. That lost context.
I wonder if you have even read the chats​:thinking:
I thought you read the chata before cut paste something from chats on tg.
It was related to a crossword puzzle on which i couldnt solve and lost to some other person solving the puzzle.

Lol i dont know what context is being made out by putting that snap here

@Dacha apparently is qualified to determine such assignation. We are a meme coin, no denying that. Much of the shilling that happened occurred before May when our initial proposal went through. We have covered over 30 projects in the near and aurora ecosystems. We have given over 400 near and 900k Shitzu as prizes. We continue to collaborate with one of the original developers in near. In our Twitter engagements we never shill the coin in association with the puzzles. Why are you dead set in fudding us?

I’m very sad to read it.

What the names? I believe we need to pay their attention ASAP.

Probably Mike ?

Sad? Not sure if you understand. We have created over 30 crossword puzzles to promote those projects. We have funded the prize in the form of near and Shitzu tokens. The rewards far exceed the funding we have received from the grant. You need to reconsider your angle of attack, you clearly have the wrong target

It’s not an attack. I’m wondering how a person who was shilling the token and after that our community members lost their money is continuing to argue with me.

It would be great to know purposes of the NF grant

That is not my address. Just like your previous assumptions. My purpose is clearly written in the previous threads and reports.

That address belongs to the original developer of the application. The purpose of the grant is to maintain the puzzle contest along with other engagement activities to promote to the near ecosystem. I implore you to review our reports and look at our efforts since May. Furthermore, you should recuse yourself from passing judgment on this proposal since you’re clearly biased against us.

You say we shilled shitzu to you guys right
And it’s down 97%
You weren’t able to identify the person who did such
Nobody forced you to invest or forced your community members
You can say Near was shilled to you also because I do believe you bought near for a reason and Near is currently down a lot from ath right?
Why don’t you blame the marketing team for allowing you to know about Near and tell VCs to stop funding the ecosystem?
I have never seen @agt shilling or let me say forcing people to buy shitzu!
He has only been making awareness on the shitzu by using crossword puzzles and getting twitter posts from the puzzles from outside the community.
The puzzles are meant for education and for fun,of recent a community member made a puzzle on cosmos ecosystem, it was a tough puzzle but at the end it made us to learn certain things about cosmos ecosystem.
No one has ever forced anyone to buy shitzu since the beginning of the collabs,the community is all about having fun and getting knowledge and if you choose to purchase the token, it’s on you

Hi @agt,

The structure of this proposal is missing most of the requirements needed for approval. Furthermore, we haven’t approved projects without utility in the past to my knowledge.

There are too many aspects to this community that resemble building a community around shilling and contests which don’t ultimately generate traction for the near ecosystem.

Even if the focus is on NFTs, we shouldn’t encourage people to familiarize themselves with blockchain technology for the first time by losing money in a 10K pfp to pump and dump.

Sorry, it’s a no from me.

He did not recommend, concerning the screenshots you took, I’m going to reply everyone of them.
He did not recommend it,if you have ever been in a meme project, you would those are common words,not endorsement.

In reviewing this proposal and the comments following comments, there are too many questions and uncertainties – as well as a lack of metrics showing progress from past funding (I don’t see a report from July for example) – if you have that, please share and post on this thread). I also agree with @Klint – we have tried supporting experiments rooted in contests/prizes, rewards and shilling and over time they do not show long-term, significant growth in their metrics. For those reasons, I cannot support this proposal.

Because the majority of the council is not in support, I am closing this proposal out.
