Details

Specifically, what?

Public identity
Create an initial transaction and establish an on-chain identity. Ideally, use a real name, but you can be pseudononymous. In any case, satoshis are required.
Participate in Discord and on GitHub
Connect in chat. Build in public.
Post a Project on-chain
Members can advance promising Ideas and Projects by posting them on-chain. Once on-chain, the Projects can be funded, and the transactions show on-chain. Project revenues may also be collected on chain.
Fund ideas and projects
Support the projects you want to see come to life, with your time, attention, or work effort.

Terms

What's the scope of VisibleDAO membership?

Not financial advice. No legal obligations. Fully disclaimer.
This is an experiment an experiment in viable transparency. We'll see where it goes, together.
Voluntary
There are many other groups and ways to spend your time. Your attention and participation is opt-in and voluntary. We largely get out what we put in. Help another person and see what happens!
Proof of work
Share your work, ask for help, help others. Partipation is action. Action creates movement. Movement creates momentum. Momentum produces results and outcomes.
Open-source
We largely work in the open, publicly, using GitHub and Discord, amongst other tools.
Skin in the game
Membership tokens cost $7.10, are voluntary, and are not intended to be considered an investment or confer any legal obligation.
Protopian
Visible DAO is about iteratively better. This isn't a consensus-driven Democracy, this is a pragmatic Protopia. Pareto optimal decisions are common. We seek to learn and learn often moreso than seeking perfection.
Be Respectful
Be kind. Do what works. Do the right thing.
