So I think as manager of this project, my final report goes here (sorry if im mistaken):

2 of the 3 selected metaverse writers were able to complete their tasks as asked, one other participant was had been under-qualified. I don’t think he knew he was underqualified until it was all on his plate, but the instructions seemed simple to me. I’m not sure. His replacement eventually as of today has not gotten back to me.

However we were able to get lore from two great writers and the stories and wearables have all been minted on mintbase. Thanks to markeetox and bitpixi for their stories.

Nice, friend @SkazOne. Could u present the links from the NFTs produced by @markeetox and @bitpixi with the lore?

Could u also present the link for their payout proposal on astrodao, for their work by minting this piece of the lore? If they still did not request for their payout proposal, it would be cool if u instruct them to do so.

And was the third writer substituted for another one? Will u substitute with your own work? I know you are a very qualified writer.

And I would suggest something cool: that would be to take these pieces of lore to voxelslore.com too, in order to spread near NFTs there too. This is good for voxels and for near, because it broadens the sets of people coming to voxels, given it links to voxels inside, and present to voxels people the growth of NEAR ecosystem.

Project Report

Status: Ongoing
Budget: 500 usdc
Used Budget: 300 usdc

Project:

Bounty generated by the project:

Project Accounting:

We hired @SkazOne as a manager of this project, and he could get 3 interested people in writing. One of them was not adequate for the job, and 2 remained. From these 2, which are @bitpixi and @markeetox, Bitpixi could produce the lore and mint the NFT on NEAR. As the project has as products 3 mints with 3 lores, this project is ongoing, and have paid 100 usdc for only 1 writer who minted for now, and we paid 200 usd to the manager, as he also worked as a storytoller to help fulfill the project. 2 writers were not paid because they were not found. The resource amount went back to our treasury.

Paid to the community (300 usdc):

@SkazOne https://app.astrodao.com/dao/metaverse-dao.sputnik-dao.near/proposals/metaverse-dao.sputnik-dao.near-778

Updated Project Timeline:

The project was not completed in the appropriate time and it is ongoing. But the payments only were given when the milestones were completed.

Highlights and Final Products:

We could produce 2 NFTs from a new member of the community, Bitpixi and SkazOne, what could help them to be more active members. We made this bounty to stimulate new community members to be active on near blockchain. We had less success than we had foreseen, but I think we have a new project, with people that are new on NEAR just learning about the ecosystem. We hope next month we get better numbers. At least 3 members from Voxels Community are being active on NEAR: Skazone, Markeetox and Bitpixi, what is a very good thing for us.

More people are minter in our mintbase store

NFT produced:

Learnings:

The project was interesting. We got 2 good writers participating, who are Bitpixi and SkazOne. Bitpixi is community manager and designer from Voxels Metaverse (voxels.com) and SkazOne is presently writing a wonderful lore inside Voxels world. We could learn that for that project to succeed, we need to call people directly to participate, people that are already producing lore on metaverse.

From these 2, which are @bitpixi and @markeetox, Bitpixi could produce the lore and mint the NFT on NEAR. As the project has as products 3 mints with 3 lores, we were unable to get the full amount minted, and have paid 100 usdc for only 1 writer who minted for now, and has to pay the manager. Skaz One ended up contributing and NFT and lore on NEAR, but is not being paid the writer’s bounties as he is already getting payment as project manager. Markeetox did not follow up on minting his NFT or sending in his lore. Skaz One will be paid 200 of the 300 usdc, since 2 0f the 3 stories/mints were delivered. We will have 200 usdc left over.

Paid to the community: (200 usdc still to be payed to project manager Skaz One)

Highlights and Final Products:

Learnings:

The project was interesting. We got 2 good writers participating, who are Bitpixi and Markeetox. Bitpixi is community manager and designer from Voxels Metaverse (voxels.com) and Markeetox has alread a pirate project on ethereum with storytelling and he is adding NEAR Alexandria Library Lore inside his story. This is markeetox’s project: https://www.potos.io/ and his twitter https://twitter.com/potosnft. We could learn that for that project to succeed, we need to call people directly to participate, people that are already producing lore on metaverse. A third qualified writer could not be found, so project manager, Skaz One filled in. 2 NFTs were minted. And the unminted materials from Markeetox can be seen at the links previously mentioned, but was not ultimately submitted or minted as Markeetox couldn’t be contacted. It is my opinion that we need to teach more writers about specific metaverses, so we will have more qualified writers to choose from going forward. This would mean stepping up our onboarding efforts I would think. I waited as long as I could for more writers to step forward. We also need to make sure that our people follow through, but I understand that if someone cannot be contacted, they cannot be forced to do what they said they were going to do. All materials that were turned in are quality materials though and hopefully we can keep progressing with similar bounties.
