3/ what I think needs to be done is to start some daily contests and weekly themed challenges. I have thought of a pretty decent format to do them in Threads, but we need some stake backing them.

Would you consider knowledge test contests for #Matrix8 ?
$KLU tokens can potentially be awarded in addition to Hive & Leo rewards.
Voters could potentially also be rewarded with KLU

That could be a recurring thing sure, but maybe you should start threading about it more to get ppl familiar with it.

i can, for sure. There are already many #matrix8 posts explaining many aspects if the system. These can be used to define the questions for multiple choice quizzes using Leo Polls.

Perhaps you might like to read a #matrix8 post and come up with multiple quizzes which if correctly answered demonstrate an understanding.

i could suggest the best to begin with.

#communityvoting #governance

i currently have 21,000 HP and can increase that if it helps. i can give 100% votes. i can probably round up some others to vote too.

That's a start, my hopes would be that after starting up and people seeing an improvement because of that, they'll be easier to get onboard

Precisely.

2/ as for abundance? I was speaking of it being a state of mind, not material. I use/earn almost no money, yet live with abundance.

As was i, and as do i. Yet physical abundance is much more likely to be attracted to mental and emotional abundance.

We agree then. I'm thinking about creating a couple threads specific groups and see if we can grow them into something that helps. Otherwise I'll just end up muting the majority of users and threads will always be dead for me, lol

How would you do the former?

Btw, i ruffled some feathers.

1/Well, to bad most are too busy to find their inner peace, which is usually absent, even if a few individuals do possess it, when in group settings. Preaching hasn't worked for over 5000 years, so why expect it to now?

Preaching is not the answer. It can be demonstrated by our presence, our way of being, which affects all others.
This affect can be amplified in community, in some specific ways, which i can expand upon.

Lol, yes setting an example can help, but the same argument against preaching can be used here. Crypto is the greedy man's game and big votes will get us what we want here and purely that.

Sure, to "lure them in” :-)

i agree, as a carrot. Thank you.

But it's not exactly a carrot, It's an invitation to add value to the community and potentially be rewarded.

By joining the community, and making a statement on the blockchain, stating agreement with community "rules" & stating name or link of the member who invited them, a potentially new member becomes a member, thus addinh value to the community via the #networkeffect.

Therefore that new member is likely to receive a reward for that added value, as is the member (if any) who recruited him or her. The amounts rewarded to the user is determined by community consensus.

Any community token rewards (such as $KLU) are gifted by consensus of all community participants as appreciation of added value.

Some rewards are pre-determined amounts, pre-agreed upon by consensus for standared tasks, like joining, recruiting, posting and.commenting (with criteria), sharing, etc.

Once a member has joined they will be encouraged to learn more about the community and governance system by way of educational material and multiple choice polls. Demonstrating a level of understanding by passing these mini knowledge tests, more rewards will come, as learning, leads to helping others learn, which leads to recruiting, has added more value.

We can nudge them gently, with a carrot of (potential) rewards, take them by the hand and lead them (and ourselves) through an uplifting adventure of discovering buried treasure, as opposed to pushing (as @freecompliments and i recently discussed) more effective.

i have become more aware this last day or two of how i have been pushing rather than gently nudging.

My actions of and ways of writing here on Hive, mostly using #Ecency, #DBuzz and #Leofinamce, have now been adjusted and will continue to be adjusted as more feedback is consciously received my "me".

Thank you for your continuing engagement.
