About the candidate
Hi. You might know me as KuzuDR on the the various PKT Cash social groups. I'm primarily a web and app developer and have been independently working on PKT related projects since 2021. I've been here for the bull-markets and bear-markets. All-time-highs and crushing lows. But despite the ups-and-downs, I'm still here - because I have absolute faith that this project is doing something truly unique and important.
I'm not a blockchain developer as such, so I have always tried to contribute to the project in other ways. The ways I know how; building websites and apps that make life easier for those using and entering the PKT Cash ecosystem.
Proposal
Elect pkt.watch as Network Steward, and I will build an "Election Hub" website.
The "Election Hub" project will benefit the community by providing a central place to discover the best candidates and projects. It will provide a level playing field where all candidates and applicants can propose their ideas in a clear and professional manner, without penalising those without technical or design skills. It will allow the Network Steward to find the best possible projects and allocate their funds effectively.
It will consist of two main parts:
1. Candidate Directory
A directory of all Network Steward election candidates. Candidates will be able to create a webpage, just like the one you are looking at right now, for free.
No coding experience will be required. No hosting costs. Simply enter text and upload images and the webpage will be generated automatically and included in the "Candidate Directory".
"Draft" proposals will allow candidates to request feedback from the community before launching their campaign to maximise their chance of success.
The "Candidate Directory" will provide a central hub where the community will discover and learn about candidates, what they intend to do during their tenure, and how they intend to allocate funds.
2. Project Directory
A directory of projects requesting grants from the Network Steward. Grant applicants will be able to pitch their project ideas with a free webpage. No coding experience required. Enter text, upload images, and supporting documents, designs or links, and a webpage will be generated automatically and included in the "Project Directory".
"Draft" project proposals will allow applicants seeking grants to request feedback from the community in order to maximise their chance of success before submitting their project for consideration.
The "Project Directory" will provide a central hub for the Network Steward to discover projects, learn about the people or teams requesting grants, and effectively allocate funds to the best projects.
I'm requesting a minimum two-week term as Network Steward to fund this project. The project will require a substantial amount of development work to get off the ground. There will also be direct costs such as hosting and domain registration, as well as ongoing labour costs associated with the prevention and removal of spam/innapropriate content and continuing need for development work as the election evolves and grows over the coming months and years. A two-week term will provide the financial backing needed to make this project a long-term success.
1 Week of funding:
- "Election Hub" website. Candidates and grant applicants will submit proposals via pull-request to a GitHub repository.
2 Weeks of funding:
- Full CMS system including: Account registration. Proposal creation and editing. Image and supporting document uploads. "Draft" proposals.
3 Weeks+ of funding:
In the event that no other candidate is elected, one or more of the following will occur. Decision will be announced before the end of the current term.
- I will consider community feedback and make any appropriate updates and improvements to the "Election Hub".
- I will propose a new project of my own.
- I will fund one or more third-party projects of my selection.
- I will delegate my votes to another candidate.
- I will revoke my candidacy.
Closing statement
Over the past three years, I have proven myself to be a dedicated and trustworthy contributor to the PKT Cash project. I don't intend for that to change now.
The pkt.watch brand has delivered numerous projects, including: Minr - the first and only configurable, GUI miner for PKT Cash. Watchr - a portfolio tracker for iOS and Android. Packetscan.io - a popular blockexplorer for the PKT Cash blockchain. As well as many others.
Elect me as Network Steward and I will deliver a high-quality product that helps to make the Network Steward election a real success, now and in the future.
