Detailed Notes

Agenda
- Welcome
- Announcements
- Writers Guild Coordinape for S2 has ended. BANK will be distributed later this week.
- nonsense will work with Ap0ll0 async to distribute BANK
- Change your passwords and enable 2FA. Security is everyone’s responsibility.
- It’s not just governance, it’s security too!!
- A DAO member got hacked, and the hacker sent DMs to every user who has previously DM this member. In the DMs there was malicious links
- NEVER GIVE AWAY SEED PHRASE OR PRIVATE KEYS!! NO LEGITIMATE MEMBER WILL ASK YOU FOR THIS INFO!!
- Check the url as well - Sites and spoofs can look very similar to original sites, but ALWAYS check URL! (Link this time round is discork (?))
- Use password manager to generate random passwords and then change passwords frequently (monthly to quarterly)
- Recommended by hirokennelly.eth:
- 1Password
- Apple KeyChain (for Apple users),
- Native
- EZ
- Enable 2FA - social authenticator app is the best option for now.
- Recommendation from Jake & Stake + nonsensetwice :
- Don’t change your password frequently unless you’re hacked
- check haveibeenpwned website (https://haveibeenpwned.com) to check if your email has been compromised.
- Don’t click on links in DMs or anything - if it’s too good to be true — IT IS.
- Wallet Hygiene - clean hot wallet and cold wallet out - disconnect connected sites.
- If it’s social media accounts - change password.
- Logout of all accounts.
- Let everyone know.
- Be constantly vigilant!
- New Member welcome
- l33
- From singapore looking to contribute
- Zero_Mass
- joined about month ago, looking to learn more to contribute
- oreochimaru
- also from singapore
- worked in research for crypto.com and recently left
- looking for ways to contribute in banklessDAO
- Qn: what’s the difference between writer and research guild?
- Writer: Publish articles (short and long-form) that serves the purpose - onboard people onto crypto.
- Research: Not sure if they publish - generally team up and acquire info on other projects, does surveys, etc.
- WilliamWallets
- My first time in the writer's guild call. I'm from Dallas and just moved to Denver in October. I'm looking for non-technical ways to get involved with BanklessDAO
- trying to figure out how to start contributing right away. Ideally, I quit my job sooner rather than later and find a new full-time role
8. Best practices:
- General Guild Discussion
- CitaDAO grant multi-sig (siddhearta)
- Manuel approached Sidd with GC changes for proposal funding
- Proposal includes a Crypto Sapiens podacst, newsletter feature, Client Services articles...
- B(3,A)rHunter started this project called Good Morning News (Collection on OpenSea here.)
- Current newsletters style - it’s still v web2 style; GMN - looking to see if there are web3 ways of pushing out newsletter.
- Everyone can contribute (new, old, everywhere in the world) - submit and if it’s good enough they’ll publish it.
- Goal: hone and sharpen your skills —> allow writers who want to make a name for themselves to get published. More editors, more writers.
- No word limit, community votes on article to be published every night.
- Subscriptions-based, on L2 Polygon (?)
- Everyone in Writers Guild gets a subscription!
- Financial incentives to contribute to GMN — get paid in PAPER and contributions will qualify to maintain Scribe status
- Looking for writers, editors, and people doing voiceovers (to read GMN every night)
- Tip for voiceover: Smile when you read! :-)

iii. CitaDAO is asking for a swap - bank token swap equivalent to the 15,000$ so that they can reward the contributors
iv. Sidd to reach out to understand better how CitaDAO wants to be involved
v. Next steps TBC
b. Good Morning News Collaboration
- POAP contest cam to a close
- Winning Submission to be used on WG meetings for S3 starting next week
- No dates on POAP since dates are included in Metadata

- Shirt/Hoodie design
- Colour of shirt: black (agreed previously)
- Lighter, pastel colors suggested like pink
- Chippi being in front?
