I would like to nominate Ernest. He is one of the five current community directors that were helping the three founders to further develop the Dogeparty community. Without any question, he has proven to be a very valuable spokesperson and dedicated worker. And he fully deserves to be nominated first;-)

Hey everyone thanks for the nomination JDog! Long time bitcoiner/dogecoiner I run a channel that helps educate people about bitcoin/dogecoin and onboarding them to counterparty/dogeparty. I am new to the Dogeparty scene about a year, but amazingly impressed what I think we can do for the community. Always interested in improving security, decentralization and freedom. My dogeparty address is - [DD4AFu6xSfEtX86YbMLnPekbsfJrTkwy9a] thank you!

I would like to nominate Nutildah (TG: @nutildah) to be a Community Director for 2023. Nutildah has consistently shown up day after day to contribute positively to the Dogeparty community since the reboot, and has a number of notable achievements along with personal qualifications which I believe to be well-suited for the role. Dogermint (which includes a telegram group, website, and twitter handle) was created by Nutildah and continues to thrive and bring more users onboard Dogeparty regularly. The Dogermint website also features a comprehensive and impressive user guide written by Nutildah which gives detailed explanation on how to interact with Dogeparty on a technical level. In my opinion, Nutildah is generous, level-headed, trustworthy, reasonable, technically proficient, a great writer, and has a good sense of humor based on my experience and interaction publicly as well as privately.

Thanks Ernest for the kind words and I gladly accept the nomination.

My name is nutildah, aka Uncle Nutildah, Nutildah the Hungry, and “Dogermint guy.”

I have been a long-time crypto advocate, first exploring the world of Bitcoin and altcoins in 2014 on Satoshi’s Bitcoin Forum where I maintain an active presence. Soon after joining the forum I learned about Counterparty and was immediately fascinated by it and the possibilities of tokenization, creating my first asset in June 2014. I was part of the original Dogeparty burn, having burned about 1.6 million DOGE for XDP in Aug 2014, and created a couple dozen assets on it shortly thereafter. All my professional experience has been based in different aspects of cryptocurrency since 2016 (the year my last non-crypto job ended).

After Dogeparty was reanimated in Sept/Oct of last year, I quickly became aware of the Historical NFT movement and started Dogermint as not just a brand for my early-minted tokens but as a “historical asset discussion group,” and also to help raise general awareness of Dogeparty. To that end I wrote an extensive guide on how to use the Dogewallet and am a regular Dogeparty evangelist on Twitter.

Thanks to the genius behind the design of its protocol, Dogeparty has lots of untapped potential – not only in terms of attracting new users & artists but in finding new utility & use cases as well. The recent rise of Dogecoin’s prominence puts Dogeparty and its users in a uniquely advantageous situation that has yet to be fully realized. Although onboarding new users is a tough job in bear market conditions, I believe that persistence will pay off – so long as we continue to be dedicated advocates of this technology which was created way ahead of its time. Such persistence will also lend credence to the idea that Dogeparty is here to stay, and will only get stronger with time.

I’ll nominate myself, as I likely have the largest collection of Rare Doge. Some of you might know me as cryptochainer, and the rest of you would likely know me as “cryptochainer.”

I have been a crypto enthusiast for a long time, and long-time supporter of related projects for quite a while. I would like to see Dogeparty grow, as I feel like most everyone doesn’t even know it exists. Plus Jdog didn’t nominate me, but that’s ok.

I nominate myself.

I minted some Dogeparty tokens in 2014, participated in the 2021 bern, and have built a few open-source tools (Image Archiver and Asset Timeline)

If I am elected I will focus on the core protocol. Specifically I want:

  • funds from the bern to be spent on Dogeparty dev.
  • keep the Dogeparty code as close to Counterparty as possible.
  • implement code changes to XDP before XCP.
  • make dispensers safer.

The point about dispensers has the highest priority. I don’t believe offchain solutions are sufficient. We should make dispensers risk-free on the protocol level . Here’s my proposal draft. I outline that dispensers will work exactly as before for those want to, while simultaneously giving the option for buyers to make reservations if they feel like playing it safe.
