Focus Areas​

1. Social Media Statistics & YouTube Growth
   My main goal is to enhance PIVX’s presence in digital spaces. Making PIVX resources more accessible through these platforms is a priority.
2. Community Events
   I aim to complete all promised work this monthprove myself to the communityand take further initiatives. I believe my experience in building local communities will be valuable for PIVX. For exampleI may organize a conference- event with a simultaneous live stream.

HelloThank you for your feedback. My offer is ''PivxCollaborationtr''




The other two “PIVXTR4” proposals belong to Talha. When I checkedhis forum post reads '' It states that “due to an errorthe same offer has been opened twice”.

Hello! Any updates to help us decide how to vote?

Hello,

I apologize for being late. My 11-month-old son has caught swine fluand we’ve been going through some challenging times. Despite thisI have continued working in the background.

Updates:

1. New YouTube Video:
   • Our new video will be live tomorrow.
     
     
2. Article Publication:
   • Another article has been published. These articles are designed to be easy to understand and aim to raise awareness on important topics.

3. Document Translation:
   • I emphasized that I am committed to going above and beyond with document translations. We plan to start with translating the pivx.org website into Turkish this month.
4. Telegram Community Event:
   • We need to organize an event to attract more people to the Telegram community. I must admit that due to my son's conditionit has been difficult to focus on this. Howeverwe will have a well-organized event before the end of the month. Statistics from the eventsuch as the number of participants and new members joining the groupwill be shared here.
5. Twitter Account Creation:
   • A new PIVX Turkey Community Twitter account will be launched. The original account will continue to maintain its brand identity by sharing official posts and articleswhile the new account will focus on our community’s unique content.
6. Podcast:
   • We’ve discussed a podcast recording with the Zano Turkey ambassadorwho has confirmed their participation. Hopefullywe’ll record it soon.

Next Steps:
That’s all for my progress report for now. Talha has also shared his updates. We still have about 14-15 days leftand I will provide another monthly update in the final week.

This feedback is common to both Turkish proposals. I will post this same message on both.

I am having trouble reviewing both Turkish proposals.

Both list off many valuable line items to accomplish. Howeverunderstanding what has been completed each month is difficult. I am worried both are extremely over optimistic as to what can be accomplished. Ideas are easy. Execution is hard.

I get that things changeand unexpected hurdles present themselves all the time. SoI am not expecting everything to be completed. Butwhat would help me greatlyis a list of items that are completed each month. My concern is that months will passand the net sum of these proposals will be that many things were triedand almost nothing was completed. There is value in starting smalland doing fewer things wellrather than starting many things and completing none.

NowI realize that both proposals are brand newbut there have been prior proposalsand I am not seeing clear 'traction' being achieved with either. That doesn't mean it isn't there ..... it's just hard to pull out and separate from the long list of updates and messages.

Perhaps once a monthyou can each prepare a brief list for; 1) Efforts Started2) Efforts with progress - and what that progress is3) Efforts completed and what the result is.

Once you have done this for your current proposalsthen I can better decide how to vote.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

Hello again@Eric_Stanek
I realize my response is a bit delayed. Unfortunatelymy 11-month-old baby is sickand I’ve been spending time with them. I would like to extend my respect to everyone who has shown understanding during this period. Despite the circumstancesI have continued to move forward with my work plan as much as possible.

During this processeven though we managed to progress with ongoing tasks thanks to Talha's supportwe couldn't share the workload in an ethically fair manner. I’d like to thank him for giving me the initiative.

Thank you@talhatr

I saw the posts you shared in the Turkish ambassador's forum threadand I wanted to share progress reports in a more organized manner like that.

Moving forward steadily seems to be the most reliable approach. Sharing posts on social mediainteracting by following the existing PIVX Global accountsand taking small responsibilities to progress step by step is a reasonable strategy.

Howevercreating a more comprehensive work plan can sometimes yield better results. Of courseI cannot guarantee that everything will be 100% successfulbut I want you to know that efforts are being made to do the best possible under any circumstances.

Currentlythe progress update is as follows:

• 4 different articles have been published,
• 2 different YouTube videos have been shared,
• An event announcement will be made on Saturday.

Meanwhilewe are continuing with our primary responsibilitiessuch as maintaining PIVX's brand value on social mediasupporting the official account’s postsand translating content into Turkish for sharing.

Of coursewe can also proceed with a more limited work plan if requested.

This is the update report I can provide for now. If you notice any missing partsplease do not hesitate to mention them. You are making efforts to take the right steps for progress by voting on our proposals. I am new hereand I am eager to achieve more progress with Talha.

If you are not satisfied with my workyou are free to reject my proposal. I wish you a great day.

Note: My son has contracted swine fluand according to the doctorhis fever will likely remain high for another 3-4 days. During this timeI will still fulfill my responsibilities.

Thank you.

Ongoing and Planned Activities​

Summary:

I am really struggling with providing feedback for the 2 Turkish proposals. I am going to detail my concerns that are common to both of them firstand I will post the same statement to each proposal. After thatI am going to update each proposal with some points specific to each.


Here are my common concerns:

1. Proposal Added-Value:

A good proposal maximizes the added-value to PIVX compared to the cost of that proposal. This typically means the focus should be on tasks that have low effortbut result in many new PIViansor lots of positive exposure etc. etc.

Sowe want to focus on tasks that are: LOW effort and HIGH value.

What I am seeing are many tasks that are: HIGH effort and LOW value.

Alsoin both proposalsI see a LONG COMPLICATED list of various taskswith the goal of demonstrating that there is a LOT of work to doand therefore the cost of the proposal is substantial and justified. That's the wrong approach to select tasks. Worsethere is also duplication of tasks in both proposalswhich increases costsfurther undermining the value-added.

For exampleboth proposals mention working with local businesses. In addition to duplicated effortthis is LOW value (It is currently illegal for businesses to accept crypto) and HIGH effort:

From the 'PIVXCollaborationtr' proposal:



From the 'PIVXTR4' proposal:



2. Proposal Scope:

Alsoboth proposals mention connecting with Turkish exchanges. This is a HIGH effort HIGH value taskbut the success is undermined if multiple representatives of PIVX contact the same exchanges. Furtherit is a very steep learning curve to be successful at making the proper connectionsdetermining the true value an exchange offers PIVXand negotiating with them. Jeffrey has proven himself to be extremely skilled at thisso why isn't he taking the lead? Do the proper contacts at the exchanges only speak Turkish?

From the 'PIVXCollaborationtr' proposal:



From the 'PIVXTR4' proposal:



Both proposals should be focused on LOW effort HIGH value tasks. Over timeas trustskills and network connections buildit makes sense to include HIGH effort tasksbut even then the tasks should NEVER be duplicated by multiple PIVians.

3. Proposal Goals and Organization given the Regulatory Environment:

In the Turkish proposalsI see comments like;

"Businesses cannot officially accept PIVX payments at the moment due to regulatory issues."

and

"While cryptocurrency payments are currently banned in Turkey ..."

Soit is my understanding that Turkey is crypto-friendlybut it doesn’t like privacy coinsand requires KYC for all types of crypto activities. It has also banned the use of cryptocurrencies as a mode of payment and for everyday use. Because of thisthere is no value focusing on any task related to use cases or adoption. There is indeed significant crypto speculation activityso that means we should focus on AwarenessExposure and Promotioneach which support speculation.

That limits efforts to Socials and Trade Showsboth supported by Translation efforts across PIVX. It makes sense that both of you attend local Trade Shows. ButI believe that this should be detailed in a dedicated proposal.

Socials should be divided between the 2 of youand each of you should help engage in the other's posts etc. as well as non-PIVX poststhat are crypto or privacy related.


Conclusion:

Hope this helps! I am going to take a break and then start adding feedback specific to each proposal.

There is HUGE opportunity in Turkeybut we need to spend the Treasury funds wisely and efficiently. Let's work together and make that happen!

Hello!

Can you please provide a link and or screen shot of this event you completed?

My forum culture is unfortunately weak but I am strengthening it. The event was announced and a short youtube video was also prepared.

I am the main reason for the late announcement of the event. Eventually his health problems were completely resolved. And the article is ready.

Ah. You just announced it a few hours ago. The video only had 2 views when I checked itand jumped to 8 views while I was watching it. I presume that's from PIVians reading this forum update.

It will be interesting to see how many submissions there are. 1,000 PIV is a high value prize pool. We've had other contests with huge participation for a lot less.

The video will also progress in terms of newer views. I'm doing some experiments. The event will continue until February 7th as the reward of 1000 PIVX is high.
The number of views is related to the recommendation of the video. I believe you are aware that X number of people watching the video could be forum users.
I'm also curious about the number of applications. Let's see!

please reformat the original post to include the code block at the start of the post.
