This request is for funding first setup and maintenace of stakeworld RPC services for kusama and polkadot. We are proposing it as a tip just like our [snapshot service](https://github.com/stakeworld/stakeworld-treasury/blob/master/Q3-setup-maintenance.md) which was also submitted as a tip (as adviced by the council).

The proposal can be found here: [https://github.com/stakeworld/stakeworld-treasury/blob/master/Q4-RPC-setup-maintenance.md](https://github.com/stakeworld/stakeworld-treasury/blob/master/Q4-RPC-setup-maintenance.md)

SubSquare is requesting funding for the setup and maintenance of stakeworld RPC services for Kusama and Polkadot. This is similar to their previous request for funding for their snapshot service. The proposal can be found on their Github page.

Dear council,
I have opened a tip for a community member who mistakenly sent <a href="https://kusama.subscan.io/extrinsic/14260416-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">8 KSM directly to nomination pool 58</a> instead of using using the NominationPools.Bond_Extra extrinsic.&nbsp; By this action and given that no one holds the private key for the destination account; the user is now unable to access funds. Considering the experimental nature of the network and the fairly low token value I would like to reimburse the community member.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In support of the request please find references below
<ul>
<li>All transferred funds to the <a href="https://kusama.subscan.io/account/F3opxRbN5ZavB4LTn2K51eNErsqJkWgkh3DqekS2HWmTd8G">pool's stash address</a> = 204 KSM</li>
<li>Pool's <a href="https://kusama.subscan.io/nomination_pool/58">total bonded</a> = 196 KSM</li>
</ul>
There is some discussion on the topic as a <a href="https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/issues/12308">git issue</a> with input from both Kian and Rob.
Regards,

- Someone sent 8 KSM to the wrong place and can't access it anymore.
- The person wants to reimburse the community member because of the experimental nature of the network and the low token value.
- The transferred funds to the pool's stash address is 204 KSM.
- The pool's total bonded is 196 KSM.
- There is a discussion about this issue on a git issue page.

 For maintaining a paritydb/rocksdb snapshot service

Dear council,

Thank you for voting in favour of our latest treasury proposal. Unfortunately, since we have put up the proposal, the price per KSM has decreased significantly.

In our proposal we used a KSM rate of $34. During the approval process, the rate has decreased by almost 30% to $24.6/KSM at payout time. 

This leaves a gap of $16474 ($60200-($24.69*1771KSM)) between the requested (and approved) funds and the actual payout. 

We would very much appreciate if the difference could be covered through this tip request.

Perhaps we can include a buffer in the KSM price to ensure that the funds are met? In the following calculation I will use a KSM price of $20 to allow for that buffer.

$16474/$20 = 823.7 KSM

*Any amount above $16474 at tip payout date will of course be paid back to the treasury*



- A group requested funds from the council
- The price of KSM has decreased significantly since the proposal was made
- This means there is a gap of $16474 between the requested funds and the actual payout
- The group is asking for the difference to be covered through a tip request
- They suggest including a buffer in the KSM price to ensure the funds are met.

One of the problems detected in the ecosystem that we have been able to experience in recent months is copyright rights.

In some events financed by the Treasury, some of the videos have been uploaded to the YouTube platform with difficulty due to the use of copyrighted songs.

Artist Jhon Roy has created 2 soundtracks for any member of the community to use in videos, events, and anything else you can think of, without fear of copyright.

These soundtracks will also be shared with community event curators so they can offer and advise event organizers on this solution.

Hello Kusama community and council members,

This Tip Proposal is to make up the difference in short fall of the KSM value against the USD between the time Proposal 216 was made and when [Motion 562](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/562) was passed and paid. 

In [Proposal #216](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/treasury/216), I (Josiah Kotzur) requested $30,000 USD worth of funding to go towards wages for the implementation of dropshipping into our protocol for a hoodie test. As well as a $12,000 loan to purchase the 500 hoodies, paid in KSM at the time of the transaction, to be sold to the Community “Not for Profit” as a test.

At the time of submission, KSM was ranging between $41 and $44 and when the funds were received and exchanged the value was $33,859 (excluding exchange fees). 

KSM price went down approximately 19%, in the USD value this equated to an approximate $8,140. The hoodies are a fixed price of $12,000 USD and $3,000 drop shipping allocation for 6 months. This leaves our team with $18,860 to pay a budgeted $30,000 in wages, which is a 37% reduction.

This issue was discussed with both @otar.shakarishvili:matrix.parity.io and  @raul.rtti:matrix.parity.io at the acceptance motion, but before the 995KSM was paid.

This Tip proposal is for a further 240 KSM to make up the difference for wages.

Dear Council,

 
I would like to propose a tip for the audiobook production of the treasury-funded book, "Polkadot for Beginners: a non-technical guide to Decentralization, Blockchain, and Polkadot" by Gbaci, recorded by the host of the Web3 Nerd podcast.

Born out of the host’s mission to drive web3 adoption through education, this first-of-its-kind approach makes it more convenient for people wanting to learn about Polkadot but are tangled up with a rather busy schedule. Even during rush hour, one can get introduced to Polkadot without having to keep putting it off due to lack of time.

The audiobook followed a weekly release pattern to ensure palatability, chunked into seven sequential episodes, with each covering specific segments. Later, it was lumped together into a single three-hour-long complete audiobook.

- [Episode 1: Forward and Introduction](https://open.spotify.com/episode/6iB1jZwKiUKzUStbEtVkUY?si=jCefTgtaSta8xNXKLdfFSA)

To ensure it reaches the targeted audience, the complete audiobook was posted on [Polkadot's official discord server](https://discord.com/channels/722223075629727774/760686625616953404/1024993397934665768), the following subreddits: [r/Polkadot](https://www.reddit.com/r/Polkadot/comments/xr3jpq/a_complete_audiobook_of_the_treasuryfunded_book/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf), [r/dot](https://www.reddit.com/r/dot/comments/xr3ru7/a_complete_audiobook_of_the_treasuryfunded_book/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf), [r/audible](https://www.reddit.com/r/audible/comments/xryl2o/my_first_audiobook_recording/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf), and on [twitter](https://twitter.com/akdatti94/status/1575428242806382592?s=21&t=qDKzwtnUJw9-qwKduKwzqQ). The podcast is also available on more than 10 platforms, including [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/polkadot-nigeria/id1610125301), [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/20ec1754-2706-4f50-80db-b634dda14388), and [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/6IpJxw9M0slpTYLIZoVZQN).

Fortunately, the community welcomed the idea, as portrayed by the following comments: [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Polkadot/comments/xr3jpq/a_complete_audiobook_of_the_treasuryfunded_book/iqdaf7r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3), [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/dot/comments/xr3ru7/a_complete_audiobook_of_the_treasuryfunded_book/iqcunsc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) and [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/dot/comments/xr3ru7/a_complete_audiobook_of_the_treasuryfunded_book/iqctscg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

In july 2022 STAKEWORLD started a paritydb snapshot service to provide an extra service to the kusama/polkadot community. Originally it was only a snapshot service, later an easy polkadot node install script and snapshot restore script were added, alongside a database size tracker on the website.

STAKEWORLD is looking to cover costs for snapshot/install service setup and maintenance (Q3 2022). I have decided to open a tip for this due to the size of the value of the allocation and to ease the work of Council: if councillors/community prefer this to go through a treausury proposal let us know. 

The proposal can be found [HERE](https://github.com/stakeworld/stakeworld-treasury/blob/master/Q3-setup-maintenance.md).
