Autark

It was a pleasure to interview @StaccoP2P on how to create distributed open #cooperatives, radical workplace democracy solutions, accounting for #carework in the digital workplace, and the #commons transition. 👀: medium.com/nebula-magazin… #DAO #DisCO #workplacedemocracy

Join @stellarmagnet and @giulioprisco for a Spaces this Thursday, where they will talk about Giulio's book and new school of thought <<Irrational Mechanics>> and also reflect on their @SpaceDecentral history and how to revive its core mission. twitter.com/i/spaces/1djGX…

I got into @ethereum DAOs in 2017 because I wanted to create a decentralized space agency. That community was called @SpaceDecentral. It died down as a project in ways, but some of the people involved are now part of @BlackSkyNetwork. material.blacksky.network/introduction-t…

Introducing Black Sky, here to minimize dystopia. Join us: blacksky.network/rsvp More soon.

@jdietz @AragonProject @CamiRusso Not fact-checked with us

For anyone following the @AragonProject @autarklabs events I highly recommend @CamiRusso 's writeup: thedefiant.substack.com/p/aragon-drama…

@anastasiya_vc @JTremback @AragonProject Well I guess you’ll learn soon enough with whether you made the right decision in trusting what they are saying.

@autarklabs @JTremback @AragonProject No but I’ve seen enough public commentary on it, and I have no reason to doubt that team’s integrity. Plus I don’t see why a grant provider would ever be incentivised to screw over a grantee that’s benefitting the network they are building.

Maybe we need to stop using the word “grant” in the blockchain space to refer to blockchain companies paying contractors to build features. It implies that such a payment is some kind of generous charity instead of compensation for people’s hard work.

@anastasiya_vc @JTremback @AragonProject Did they share you the grant terms, emails, and tell your firm what actually happened?

@JTremback @AragonProject When milestones are not delivered though & quality of work is not up to the standard, that means the network is not getting what it has invested in, snd such grants get terminated. Wouldn’t you agree? And I think an offer of 3mo more pay after notification is more than generous?

@ana_andrianova @licuende @griffgreen @marczeller @0xcryptohippo @TrustlessState @antiprosynth @RyanSAdams @VitalikButerin @ChrisBlec @CamiRusso @TuurDemeester @santisiri @econoar @0xferittuncer @gitcoin @iDecentralized @AragonProject 11 team members full-time. All of a sudden being forced to accept unfavorable terms to make payroll. Lack of warning, lack of adherence to the contract, and lack of oversight for the Aragon Assocation.

@ana_andrianova @licuende @griffgreen @marczeller @0xcryptohippo @TrustlessState @antiprosynth @RyanSAdams @VitalikButerin @ChrisBlec @CamiRusso @TuurDemeester @santisiri @econoar @0xferittuncer @gitcoin @iDecentralized @AragonProject No, they did not follow the contract terms. Stopped paying before notifying of breach. Never provided feedback that we were at risk of losing funding. More details here: blog.autark.xyz/autarks-respon…

@licuende @BlockchainJames @AragonProject What does it mean to be a member of the Aragon community? blog.autark.xyz/autarks-respon…

“That’s why we decided to keep the matter private” @licuende - in a DAO, that’s not your decision. @autarklabs @AragonProject

@licuende @autarklabs @AragonProject You raised money from me & others to build a private legal entity where you could sue the community? 🙃

@licuende @urlichsanais @mattdlockyer @AragonProject @TheLAOOfficial @mayazi @jbrukh @pridesai @jessewldn @cdixon The initial ANT "signal" offered in early January 2020 would have been Autark trying to convince ANT holders that a Swiss legal agreement existed, ironically. Is that what ANT "signals" are for? blog.autark.xyz/autarks-respon…

@licuende @urlichsanais @mattdlockyer @AragonProject @TheLAOOfficial @mayazi @jbrukh @pridesai @jessewldn @cdixon The second ANT "signal" offered included a threat that if Autark made a public statement, that we may receive a lawsuit for breaching confidentiality. If you really want to convince "Twitter" you are in the right, share the actual emails where you are offering ANT signaling.

Interesting developments in the DAO world... (see Autark post below) @AragonProject @autarklabs have elevated their dispute to "IRL" mode. This doesn't bode well for either project or the space. What say you @TheLAOOfficial @mayazi @jbrukh @pridesai @jessewldn @cdixon ???

@licuende @evabeylin @Yazanator @AragonOneTeam Feel free to share the chain of emails that lead toward us requiring a lawyer.

@evabeylin @licuende @Yazanator @AragonOneTeam Yeah, why not use the Aragon Court? Autark is willing sign an amendment to our current legal agreement that has some terms around using the Aragon Court before the Swiss one.

@licuende @Yazanator @AragonOneTeam you're cherry picking. you apologized for not getting consent and personal defamation, not for the mock case itself (a community funding dispute). Will you give Autark a fair trial in Aragon Court and let the community decide?

6/ If either party isn't happy with the Aragon Court's ruling, it can then be escalated to the Swiss courts. It’s at least worth an attempt to first use the court technology that ANT holders have funded.

5/ Reminder: when things go to real courts (Switzerland, etc.) this "confidential information" becomes public anyhow.

1/ Today, we disclosed facts about the operations of @AragonProject: blog.autark.xyz/aragon-associa…
