Frens. The Nouns Hack Week just got over. My prop almost made it, but finally ended up in 11th place when votes closed 😞 So .. I didn't win.
But it is fine. I needed this experience, and I will find a way to monetize this series, which btw is gonna be awesome - stay tuned for part 2.
This was not the usual hackathon for me. Because, on this one, I wasn't just covering it, but had the chance to take part, due to "arts and media" being one of the categories in
#nounshackweek .. and even though I didn't win, I think I did a great job at it.
I am truly grateful for the 73 votes that I received during this round from @noun12LFG,
@ccarella,
@will__price (with 35 votes), and Lil Reps from the
@lilnounsdao as well who rooted for me by dedicating a big portion of their votes for me 💛
I would also like to give thanks to the frens I made this week and contributors to this series
⌐◨-◨⌐◨-◨⌐◨-◨⌐◨-◨⌐◨-◨
@prnth_ - for giving me early access to their web3 website builder on
@dragd__ and helping setup the custom domain and literally the website.
sqx.pcc.eth - who first found me through my DAO Drops message on Lil Nouns discord, went through some of my videos, reached out to me directly and shared ideas for how Lil Nouns could support my work. I also appreciate that he spoke really highly of me in
@lilpandawtf's stream, which I am sure has helped spread the word about my prop. During my POAP research, SQ directed me to the @thenounsquare discord, which led me straight to -
@RobotFishGirl - who I had a great conversation with on a livestream, and I received very unique insights about the nouns ecosystem, and a tour of nounish POAPs in her collection (which I was looking to learn about). She also inspired me to create a hack week contest for
@whoneedsajobdao, which I consider was a big success.
@GoodBeats - for creating the cc0 music as part of Lil Nouns projects, that I was able to use in my movie, and then later through the week, has reached out with words of encouragement for myself and my work.
@thenounsquare and
@toady_hawk - for being very welcoming and having me on the Nouns Square twitter spaces giving me the valuable platform to speak about my props.
@lilpandawtf and
@modrovsky - for having me on their stream, where I had a ball talking about The Biggest Lil Movie, and I have shared some memorable moments learning about Nouns on their stream. They are absolutely awesome and I am so glad to discover their channel and their work.
@aubtoshi_nft for coming up with the name for The Biggest Lil Movie.
My fren @esthadolphin - for traveling from his native to Bangalore and helping me record the shoot day, and co-directing the video with me.
My sister
@NaureenAmbr for being there for me and for boosting my morale when I was not at my best during the week.
To
@ExplorerGrants and
@nounsprophouse for organizing all of this.
To my twitter fam for sharing their thoughts and engaging with my tweets, which there have been many this week.
@humptycalderon for passionately introducing me to Lil Nouns many many months ago during a weekly call in
@CryptoSapiens_
