My fellow retards,
Phon/ongod will often push community members to find their niche and contribute. Even if you believe you are not technical, your ability to understand this new protocol relies not-at-all upon your knowledge of code and architecture, or your deep understanding of cryptographic tradeoffs. You don’t need game theory or coordination games. You don’t even really need to know how blockchains work. What you need is an open mind and a willingness to learn. The community is ready to bring you up to speed so that you can be send forth as a missionary to extol the virtues on the phonon protocol to the uninformed.
Everyone can contribute, but we rely more on some than others. To date, many community members have stepped up, done the work, taken on leadership roles as needed. This is a spontaneously formed consensus amongst a group of individuals with shared purpose. It is beautiful, but even with all of that coordination, there are missing pieces.
Satoshi gave us many things, including hope. What is most impressive is that everything he gave us with regards to changing our thinking and spawning a new ecosystem is derived from a relatively simplistic 9 page whitepaper. There are millions of ideas that could be spawned now that the bitcoin whitepaper exists. The same cannot be said for the phonon protocol. The DAO lacks a cohesive singular document explaining the protocol. It lacks a direction to point newcomers to read a high level overview. It is harder than it needs to be for us to onboard new users. There needs to be a whitepaper, and not one riddled with significant amount of complex math. In reality, phonon is simpler than bitcoin. This should be doable in 5-10 pages. It can be built on as a foundation going forward with in depth complex ideas, but the whitepaper is square one.
A yellow paper of sorts would also be helpful. This would translate the whitepaper into code. Ethereum’s yellow paper was written by cofounder Gavin Wood. It is 30+ pages and describes the Ethereum system with math.
There is also an opportunity for the more ambitious to take pieces / ideas from the pheverdreams and write them as their own standalone whitepapers. Changemakers, KEKX, Phonon nodes, smart contract systems, ORs, Registries, NFTs, native phonons…there are a tremendous amount of ideas floating around that can and should be expanded into their own standalone docs. These can probably all be conveyed in less than 5 pages each. Phon/ongod will certainly work with anyone who wants to do so. Having a full library of docs for newcomers to read would be a blessing.
What pieces are missing from your mind for thex phonon education series? Hit up @hunt_ak to let him know and work with him to educate the masses.
Phonon DAO is where to find us.
Tips to phonongod.eth will be invested in bounties that advance the Phonon project.
Hatemail to phonongod@protonmail.com will be scathingly considered.
Targets for the marketcap of PHONON DAO remain:
$1b by Q2 2022, $12b by EOY.
On the high end, $300b marketcap in 3 years.
