mcon denver outputs
1 / n Just got back home from MCON in Denver. Was a great time learning and mingling with the people who have DAOs on the top of of their mind. Here are my highlights from the conference. A threadâŠ
2 / n People are looking for ways to work for DAOs. A lot of people on Twitter and at the conference were asking about âDAO job boardsâ.
3 / n A lot of people start working for DAOs part time. Once they get paid for a project or two with the DAO, they start doubling or tripling their DAO workload. Eventually that helps them move full time into DAO work.
4 / n People love the option of working for multiple DAOs at once. It keeps the work they do fresh and challenging.
5 / n As DAOs seek validity in the political sphere (from a tax, regulatory, jobs perspective), they need people to be loud, organized, and focused. This will help DAOs drive their benefits and communities forward.
6 / n DAOs need people that are both technical and non-technical. Developers arenât the only people that can benefit from DAOs.
7 / n Since DAOs promote remote / distributed work, if you are working for a DAO already, it is important to ask for advice, have solid conflict resolution processes, and understand that decisions are iterative.
8 / n For new DAOs, it is ok to start in an authoritative manner and slowly release control to the community as the DAO scales. This will eventually allow for a âschool of fishâ modality where different leaders will emerge from the community and then rotate over time (thanks @felix2feng from @SetProtocol for this insight).
9 / n DAOs will rely on working groups instead of single individuals for work to be completed. This is because it is hard to keep 1-2 people accountable for DAO work.
10 / n DAOs are like a bees nest (organized chaos).
11 / n If youâre thinking of launching a DAO and engaging community members quickly, get the community members paid right away (e.g. stream $ETH or $DAI to them even if they havenât completed a task yet!). That will keep your workers engaged.
