00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,160
Okay, this is the last section of the first update.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,440
Very impressed that you made it this far.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,280
Here we're going to talk about what we're doing on the community side.

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,920
We have a few different things going on

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,720
in the way we're building the Joystream community up until main net

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,760
but I think the most important initiative by far is the founding members program.

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,720
and i guess maybe for a bit of context - 

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:32,320
what is the point of the community program in the Joystream project,

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,000
what we're trying to do here is we're trying to build 

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,440
a DAO which is capable of operating the platform

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:45,200
and evolving on its own autonomously based on the technology and the policies and the processes

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,960
and the processes that we've established before mainnet.

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,550
The goal is really at mainnet 

14
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:56,070
you guys, the community, will fully run this system,

15
00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:58,239
, and that requires you to have a lot of people

16
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:07,360
with a lot of different skills, interests, infrastructure, all sorts of things,

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,520
and that's what we're trying to get to.

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,600
The founding member program is about identifying the people who can play that role, 

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,960
motivating them to actually put in the effort to learn

20
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,680
and develop their own ideas for what should happen after the mainnet launch.

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,320
For that matter what we should be doing prior to launch in order to make the tools and the documentation,

22
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:40,560
everything as effective as possible, and, of course, to then distribute to these community members the token

23
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,000
which is required to actually exercise the governance that allows that evolution to happen.

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,560
The founding member program is really the program for trying to find those specific people, 

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:02:01,110
identifying them, celebrating them, rewarding them and following their lead towards mainnet.

26
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:13,120
So far, we've inducted five members, and that has largely been based on the contributions of these individuals in the past before the program began.

27
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:21,200
Most of these are making an exceptional contribution to the development of the system on an ongoing basis.

28
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:32,080
These are names that you will recognize for show once the main net launches but they are closely followed by

29
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,280
a good number of people who are trying to make it through.

30
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,640
The way the founding member program works or the way you become a founding member is,

31
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:50,400
I should say that is the primary and possibly the only way for the broad community to get access to the JOY token, 

32
00:02:50,400 --> 00:03:02,310
so that's really the way you get there, primarily it's by becoming a founding member which means that you need to, first of all, not be US persons,

33
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:12,230
unfortunately, secondly, you need to contribute by submitting these summaries on a periodic basis of what you've done,

34
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:19,360
who you'd refer to the platform which allows you to accumulate these scores.

35
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,879
There are two components to the score. 

36
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:39,120
The direct score is basically some sort of a representation of your direct contribution, what you do in terms of technical, community, social, whatever it is you do to actually help grow the community and help us go in the right direction.

37
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:53,510
And there's a referral score which is basically a sort of a way of measuring how effective you've been at drawing in other people who are themselves people with high scores.

38
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:59,590
Then based on that you have a total score, and that total score counts towards becoming a founding member.

39
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:14,310
The policy that we're applying, it's dynamic, it's evolving so you are going to have to look up the most recent summary of what has happened in one of these scoring periods to understand

40
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:20,950
what's going on, what's being emphasized, certainly your score, you'd have to go to the website to see where you rank on the leaderboard.

41
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:27,280
But I expect we will pretty soon see some new founding members.

42
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:38,720
It's an interesting question how many we actually will need by main net, how many people does it take, what distribution of stake should be in order for them to be effective.

43
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:54,630
This is something, I think, we will, first of all, never get the answer to entirely but also we'll probably sort of calibrate our policy to aim towards what our best thinking is at
any given time.

44
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:56,160
So, that's how you get into the founding member program.

45
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,720
There are different ways of earning these scores. 

46
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,840
Obviously, as I mentioned, you could refer people, that's one way.

47
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:21,120
You can work on bounties which is another major way we see of people who are perhaps not able to make it into one of the roles that are on the network,

48
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:29,520
there's a limited number or you may need to be quite technical in order to do quite a lot of them.

49
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:37,030
So, the bounty program is a way for the community members to contribute in other ways.

50
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:49,680
Definitely if you have ideas for bounties that you would want to do or that you think other people could do – everything from marketing stuff, translating texts and tutorials making to troll videos

51
00:05:49,680 --> 00:06:00,310
there's a lot of stuff that's going to be coming out but if you have ideas for bounties, I'm sure you will get points for coming up with those and helping us broaden our portfolio of different bounties available.

52
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:02,080
So, that's the bounty program.

53
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,280
Obviously, there are the roles in the system itself.

54
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:12,240
Being a content creator so publishing content under a channel that you own.

55
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:28,000
Being a curator, which basically means that you either own or operate channels or you are responsible for making sure that the content in the content directory is following all sorts of rules and policies that apply at any given time.

56
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:40,080
I think that's a little bit of work in progress what the details of that actually entail, but being a curator lead means that you manage that group just as I discussed in the prior video with working groups.

57
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Being a validator, I think this is one of those roles where a lot of people try to do it because it's sort of a sedative, forget-it type of activity, and it's kind of straightforward how to do it, that definitely will also grant you points.

58
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:09,280
But I think the way you should be thinking about this is probably the more unique and the more substantial your contributions are, the more points you're likely to earn.

59
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:15,190
So, if you see that there are tons of other validators, that's probably not the best place for you to go if you're trying to distinguish yourself.

60
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:28,560
Obviously, being on the council is one of the most important roles, it's one of those roles that requires you to understand more of the platform as a whole so it's a great opportunity to learn

61
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:35,120
to develop relationships with other founding members and other non-founding members that are trying to get there.

62
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,680
We have storage providers and the lead for that group.

63
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:50,400
I think that's basically the main roles that are live on the Antioch network, I'm maybe forgetting something but I think that's right.

64
00:07:50,400 --> 00:08:03,590
So, those are the ways you can earn points for your, I should say for all these roles you will of course also earn test net tokens which have monetary value

65
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:15,190
so not only are you getting points towards actually becoming a founding member, but you're also getting cash basically for whatever it costs you in terms of infrastructure and time and so on.

66
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:18,400
So, it should be pretty attractive.

67
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,750
That's, I think, a good concise summary of what we're doing on the community side.

68
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:30,800
Thank you for watching this video and watch out for the next community update. Bye!
