Speaker 1:

Welcome everybody to Cartoon Over Coffee. We got a great show for you today and remember you can join us live on X Spaces Monday through Friday, 9.30 am Eastern Standard Time, 2.30 pm UTC. Wow, what a great show we got today. We got our friend Josh from Ada Pulse over there on YouTube. Man, they're chopping it up on YouTube. Check him out. We interview and talk a lot about things that are going on in Cardano ecosystem, just like us. So check them out on YouTube. Today at Ada Pulse, we're going to talk about their Fund 12 catalyst proposal. Listen in to find out what they're up to and go give them a like and subscribe.

Speaker 2:

Oh, snacks, oh, for the morning.

Speaker 3:

Anyone sound effects to come? Oh we good.

Speaker 4:

We good.

Speaker 3:

I see Dixon in here. Dixon, you should request to speak because you wrote the proposal. But yeah, I mean Ada Pulse has gone through a bit of a change recently so I don't know if you'll know it's been run by. It was run by Jeff from Swag Statepool and Genzod. He's also got his own, you know Statepool, and they've been running it for a few years getting paid nothing. So they've been doing it for absolutely for free.

Speaker 3:

But now they got to a point where, like, jeff has been the one mainly running it but he's got a lot of family commitments going on, as you know a lot of people do. So he was like I need to step back. He was essentially saying I'm going to close Ada Pulse until you know. Obviously I was like, well, no, you can't do that. Like you know, we love it, loads of people love it. You can't, and all that work you put into it, you can't just close it like that.

Speaker 3:

So there was a bit of a scramble to get things together. So, dixon, kindly you know I mean it was a bit of a rush we put the, he put the proposal together. You know, looking back, you know he didn't really he could have asked for more money for certain things, you know. But that was it. It was he was in a rush himself and he's got and congratulations to Dixon as well, he's just got a new baby boy too, so so that's why he can't really sort of push things forward. It's that he did the you know the proposals and we got something out there. But we'll probably have to do another fund in fund, another one in fund 12, but this one at least covers the most important aspect, which is the content Now. So now I'm coming in to take over well, take over Jeff's role, not trying to take over sort of, you know, everything. It's kind of like as a whole team effort and it's free for everyone, every writer that comes in. They can pretty much write what they like and get paid for it. That's the whole thing. And because we're publicly funded, there's no like coin shilling, paid promotion or anything like that. It's just that honest news.

Speaker 3:

So what we're trying to push right now is just to get funded so that all our writers can get paid. I mean, there's some, there's some gaps that we need to fill. That, like Dixon did put in, you know, like SEO on the website, but it, you know it was only like $5,000 for the year. So which works out? You know we're talking sort of what $400 a month for SEO, but if you know anything about SEO, you'd know that's not too much. So but I've got a guy you know well, a team that I work with in my company my company in the real world and so they're going to come in and, you know, host the website, do the SEO. Okay, they'll get paid a little bit, but it won't be. You know they'll be doing a lot of work for free.

Speaker 3:

You know, when it comes to SEO, there'll also be video stuff. There's a big gap in the market for, you know, the TikTok side of things YouTube shorts, all that kind of stuff. So we're still going to carry on making videos. Well, obviously, the articles are the main part, you know, but we're still carrying doing the videos. But we're going to be pushing into the TikTok and YouTube shorts and stuff.

Speaker 3:

So, because we're all about outreach as well, yeah, so, but moving forward from that, you know there's other avenues that I want to go down. You know we need more funding so that I can, you know, pay people to get you know, because a lot of so my colleague, mihai, is going to be doing. You know, like I said, a lot of the video stuff, video editing stuff, that all the SEO for the website and, like I said, a lot of it's for free. But when it is for free it does have a limit how much you can do. So he's getting a little bit, which, you know, which is better than nothing. But, yeah, that's the way that is. But, moving forward, we're going to be pushing for the next fund to do some, you know, really cool stuff.

Speaker 3:

Maybe get some of the people who are doing work for free, get them paid is one thing, but at the same time, I'm still exploring the idea, like Charles Hoskinson brought it up, of tokenizing news articles, which is, you know, a way to sort of get rid of, you know, fake news basically, and that's yeah, and that's. I'm still looking into that. There's a lot of aspects about it. You know, not 100% sure it's going to happen, but we won't go for funding unless we have like a minimum, you know, minimal, viable product, you know so we're not just going to come, I'm not just going to come back and say, here, give me loads of money to make this thing. I can't do, I'm not, I'm not a capitalist turbo, you know.

Speaker 3:

So we will have a product that comes back, you know, further down the line, but at the moment we're all about just getting our content writers the money they need to keep writing, and that's essentially it. It's completely unbiased news and we want to be the main sort of Cardano sort of news outlet. I know you've got others like Cardano feed. I don't know if anyone knows anyone from Cardano feed. No, do that. But yeah, well, they. I mean they had some sort of. They were stealing Adapulse content at one point and they were caught out when Flantoshi had a little message inside his article saying if you're reading this on Cardano feed, they stole it from us on the Adapulse website.

Speaker 4:

Nice they published it.

Speaker 3:

They published that message too, and then Flantoshi was like got you, you fuckers. So but yeah, but we're, we're honest, you know, and we're just all about pushing projects, you know, lifting up projects, but it's a bit weird for us to be pumping our own project when we're normally all about others. So, but the moment, we just need to get funding for this so that our writers can carry on going and and that will mean Adapulse keeps going, and then we can start looking at other things as we go down the line.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, man, oh, we got a real quick. We got Dixon joining us and I'm going to give them a warm welcome in a second. But for people who are not familiar with Adapulse, you can go to adapulseio and it's a whole platform for community articles, all about any and all things Cardano and just looking at the main page now, you get a great pop up. The interface is awesome A little guide for UTXO stuff. They have articles on spectrum. Right now you can see midnight information, cardano summer summaries and a whole bunch of other things. And I'm totally jazzed on the idea that you wanted to tokenize these things, because I've been personally publishing a lot of different stuff in the form of crazy tokens for a while and I think that there's so much opportunity there. So I'm really excited to get into this catalyst proposal and want to welcome Dixon, the author of this and kind of taking the reins at Adapulse there. Good morning, my friend, and happy Tuesday.

Speaker 4:

Hey, hey Jim, hey folks, happy Tuesday from Nairobi, Kenya, over here. So yeah, dixon, here. I've been working with Adapulse for the last three years, since inception when Jeff and James did start this idea. So we've been putting out articles about four articles every week. Up to now, you've put out around 500 pieces of articles on covering projects that are building within the Cardano ecosystem. These include news pieces and project reviews.

Speaker 4:

I think we've interviewed quite a number of folks who are building projects in the Cardano ecosystem and covered the content in our site, adapulseio. So yeah, as my friend Josh mentioned, we're really looking for funding this coming round. We'd like to keep up the good work that Jeff has been doing. Since he's not able to lead the project moving forward, josh and I will continue leading the site and helping drive production of content that's very, very unique moving forward.

Speaker 4:

One of the main reasons that we're looking for funding is that we don't want to look for external funding, since this would probably affect and leave our outlet exposed to some external factors. We want this to remain publicly funded. We want other parts to be the voice of the Cardano ecosystem. If you're building a project and need your project covered, we'll be here to support you. We'll be here to let the word out. I think we'll receive around 30,000 monthly visitors, but the number should go up with the plan to the SEO moving forward. But yeah, much of it will. Our progress moving forward will mainly be measured on the community feedback that we'll be getting moving forward and also the success of the projects that we will cover in the ecosystem.

Speaker 3:

That's exactly it. We're all about lifting other projects mainly. Dickson is a talented writer himself, but we have others too. You can't get these high quality people without paying them, essentially.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm looking at your proposal now. I see that on idapulseio there is a section for catalyst links, but I don't see the link to your proposal on your website. I should throw a big button up there and say, hey, check us out. Well, we're going to keep this going.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, this is actually because this has all happened real fast, hence everything got a bit rushed. So I'm still in the process of transferring the domain over to my hosting so I can get my guy in it, because there's some vulnerabilities in there, like maybe a bit of malware, I don't know, but things like that. But also it needs a whole SEO uplift. That needs to really get right into the back end, remove any unused plugins, all that kind of stuff. It needs a big cleanup. I mean, you mentioned the look of the page. I think, having myself looked at it for so long, there's a way we can make it better and more so you can find what you want. Because there's so many articles, so many, we want people to find it what they're after pretty quickly.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I definitely enjoy the look, the overall feel, the UI UX of this platform. I think it's really great and what you guys are doing here. So you've got a proposal and it's pinned up at the top and people can check it out there from the first 10 tweets directly on IdeaScale, and this is a 12-month proposal looking for about $75,000 US, which is about $128,000 or so. Okay, ada, for 12 months of development where you're going to be breaking it down. It looks like you're proposing to create 208 pieces of content over this 12-month period, along with some graphic design stuff in your budget and some project catalyst in there proposal de-dives. So how did you come about these figures or the scope of the proposal for this time period and amount? Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3:

Okay, okay, okay, I mean it was Dixon that wrote it, but I mean the amount is actually is kind of a bit underfunded because if you, you know, you look at things like I can't find it on here, like the SEO, for example, was pretty low, but this is pretty much a copy of the funding we got before, I think. So it's paying the people the same amount of money, that's the same amount of articles we do for a week. So we're trying to keep everything the same, at least for now, like the way it was always ran. That's how we want it to continue for the time being. So that's how those sort of figures come about. But the I mean the deep dives is kind of a new one. But I mean, yeah, because it's there's going to be some big part and it's there, there's some big. It takes a long time to do some of those deep dives. I don't actually write them. The Dixon was well placed to. You know, price that up.

Speaker 4:

Yeah sure, yeah sure. As Josh mentioned, we did it once like a huge shift from our previous operating model. We wanted something that's already proven or something that's done in, something that we can live at. So from our funding that we received in fact, nine we were able to produce over 200 pieces of content I think around 250. And the budget that we have requested worked out well for us. So that's why we have these current funding requests. As for the deep dives, this would take both from in the form of articles and videos. So we initially we're trying to get into interviews with folks who are building the ecosystem and then show me, produce video content and also article content covering the projects. Yeah, that's great man.

Speaker 2:

I love the video interest that you guys have, especially, as Joshua mentioned, with respect to outlets like tip. Talk is definitely, I think, an underserved outlet of communication when it comes to sharing out the amazing richness of Cardano to the world. So very exciting to hear your guys initiatives so far. I have a question about your content contributors now for this. It seems like you have maybe a cohort or a bunch of people who've been involved over time. You know your standard or your familiar authors that you have. Is there a way for people who are just learning about this for the first time to get involved and maybe get paid for their writing, for things on Cardano?

Speaker 3:

Well, absolutely, and the yeah it's, you know it's. We're trying to be as not decentralized as the word, but trying to act like a Dow as much as possible, in the sense that you know anyone can hop in and do like you could do one article a month, you could do one a week, and that's the kind of the way we want to. We want to do it, but only, you know, the ones we publish are the ones that are going to get paid. Anyone can come in, anyone can come in and write for us, but if they write a lot of shit, then you know we're not going to, we're not going to publish it if it's not very good, and so they wouldn't then get paid. So, yeah, anyone can, can technically come in and be part of the team.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's awesome to hear so big shout out to Vital Vuter. And you cannot publish on a pulse and tell us about Ethereum and get rewarded for it.

Speaker 4:

We want to have a great, great content.

Speaker 2:

I'm curious to know the curation process right. How so? How is it that if I'm an author and, let's say, I produce some form of content, what exactly happens behind the scenes? Who's looking at this? Who's editing, proofreading or doing this assessment of quality for the content on your platform?

Speaker 3:

Well, at first it will be me, I think, maybe maybe me and Dixon in fact, but the way the physically, the way it works, is we have the writers, they have a sort of login to the WordPress website, so they have their login and they basically write their article, upload it, put it in the draft and then, essentially, I'll have like a pipeline of articles that are due to be released. We don't, obviously don't want to just release everything all in one go, we just want to yeah, we will start sort of publishing as they go, so they start off as drafts and then we just literally click the publish button, maybe after some checks.

Speaker 2:

As an educator myself, I find great value in the use of rubrics for my students when I'm looking for them to produce a certain thing, and perhaps it could be meaningful for you guys to articulate a guideline or a scoring sheet of some sort where you're basically looking for some content, quality, standard, typographical errors, right, it doesn't have any errors, or things like that, and then, once you go through that assessment, maybe then it can move on to the publication stage. Have you thought of doing something like that?

Speaker 3:

Well, there already is a structure to the articles in place, so probably should I mention that. So it was a good point. Yeah, that you brought up. Yeah, there is a sort of structure, the way we do things like. You got your intro, because when we're talking about projects kind of all the same brief introduction, we're talking about the team. If they have a token, it's a tokenomics. So there's a few things I mean. Dixon probably knows better about the structure of the articles more than I do at the moment.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, for sure. We have some content guidelines in our. Once you decide to contribute to other parts we you can join our Discord channel. From there, we have some kind of content guidelines that you can follow when producing the content. So first thing, as a writer, once we invite you to our platform or once you request to join our platform, familiarize yourself with the content guidelines that we follow. Then from that, you're able to start writing for us.

Speaker 3:

And another thing, sorry gone yeah.

Speaker 2:

Oh, no, no, keep going. I'll follow up with the question.

Speaker 3:

I was just gonna say another thing we're gonna add it's a bit off topic slightly, is you know cause he mentioned Discord? Cause we're all chatting in there. We wanna make that for the consumer as well, so they can come in, they can talk about articles and things like that and then actually talk directly with the writers and things. So there's all sorts of things that are in our minds that we're trying to sort of formulate and put together. But again, all that stuff we're doing is kind of all free of charge. All these changes at the moment, what you see in the proposal probably probably seem quite bland, but there's a lot more that we're gonna be doing that isn't in the proposal, that is gonna be unpaid. So yeah, like I said, so we want more community engagement in what we do.

Speaker 2:

That's awesome, man, and yeah, it's pinned at the top if people wanna check out the proposal itself. I'm curious to know sort of publishing rights with respect to this platform. As an academic myself, I've, for example, published journal articles in academic forums and I've always chosen to do open source for those so that I can reproduce this article in any platform that I want and there's no restrictions, and this always is not the case with respect to publishers, and you guys have had your experience where people are taking Adapulse content, publishing it elsewhere. As a creator, if I give you guys an article, is that restricted? I can only share the Adapulse, or can I post it as a whole tweet? Share it out, put it on my blog.

Speaker 3:

No, you can post. You can. So people like I know, liberline, for example he has, and I think a lot of the writers do. They write on their own, but they also publish on Adapulse as well. But yeah, I'm unsure actually of how that's so, dixon, how does that work? Can do people post the exact same articles on their sort of their own website as well as Adapulse, or do they write just for Adapulse?

Speaker 4:

We've had very few instances where folks have requested to post their content on other websites, but if you'd like, you're open to doing that. Just maybe, at the bottom of your article, have a pointer here. This was first published in other parts of the title. Since this is community funded, yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 3:

Because I think, if we are paying for it, there is an element of we don't want it everywhere. We definitely don't want people stealing it, that's for sure. But what the writer does with it is with their choices, is a little bit different, I guess.

Speaker 2:

Love it well, at least the possibilities there. And correct attribution is definitely a thing Also too. For my example that I gave with open source content, I would need to also do that originally published in whatever journal kind of thing. But BlockJock has this hand up, so I'm gonna pass the mic to our resident co-host.

Speaker 5:

Hey guys. First off, I actually like the look of the website as well. It is a bit of I understand. As far as organizing a little bit better, that would probably be helpful. My questions is surrounding the articles themselves and typically if you're going to get funded, then you're not going to need any outside source which then creates where you're not going to be biased in any way having to do with your articles. Are you planning on having some you talked about having some people come in and maybe write articles that could potentially be opinion pieces that talk about the state of, or a particular team or a project and things of that nature, and then, of course, also reach out to the project itself for comment on the article before released and things of that nature, or are you going to stay a little bit more educational?

Speaker 3:

Well, yeah, that was quite a lot to unpack in that question, yeah, that's sorry man, that's me.

Speaker 5:

It's all in my head. I need to get it out before it gets lost.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so the intro has got lost. So what was the first bit? You said We'll go in order.

Speaker 5:

So the first bit was having to do with the. I'm forgetting I was really looking for mainly having to do with opinion pieces. Ah, yes yes, these are that nature and whether or not you reach out to projects and things like that before you put them out, or are you going to stay a little bit more general educational style?

Speaker 3:

We actually do both. So when we, like Flantosci was a good example of someone who did a lot of opinion pieces and they were great, especially if you're talking about security and things you know like, because a lot of for example, I remember a piece that I did a video on and we were talking about seed phrase management and things like that. And we'll talk about self-sovereignty and how it's. Oh, you should do it.

Speaker 3:

And it feels like every SPO is saying, yes, self-sovereign, because that means you can stake with me, but they don't actually talk about the you know the risks that are involved, and I guess that could be an opinion piece in itself and it's talking about what are the risks involved in managing your seed phrase because, okay, it's all great, yeah, I've got my seed phrase, it's all safe, but soon as someone's got a car battery to your testicles, you know you're giving that seed phrase up pretty quick. But then you've got people like Liberlion who does a lot of technical writing and so yeah, so he's yeah, so he really gets in depth. So that's not, that's just pure education. So there's not nothing opinionated at all in that.

Speaker 2:

Quick follow-up in terms of curation of content. Right, if you guys are like a news destination and you're opening up to opinions and having that variety, would you guys be open to things that are maybe not so congratulatory about Cardano? So, for example, if I wanted to write an article called the Bear Case for Cardano in 2024, are you going to put that in the front page or is it going to get buried?

Speaker 3:

Do you know? No, everything gets treated the same. That's it. I mean, yeah, there are things, negative things you can say, but I mean, as long as your criticism is constructive, as long as it's not just a fud piece, then you know it's going to get published, because there's lots of yeah. Okay, it might be opinion-based as well, but you know, as long as there's some you know bones to it, it's going to get published.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's great man. I think that's a great hallmark of things like you know any or kind of the philosophy and sort of the ethos of journalism broadly conceived, in terms of being open to those types of things, like if I was a New York Times writer, and I wanted to write a very extensive breakdown about why I think the New York Times is problematic. They could still run it right. They're not just going to curate, like all of this. It's this like siloed self-congratulatory. We're the best look at us Exactly, and so very awesome to see Blockjack. Did you have some more follow-ups though?

Speaker 5:

You know, the only other thing is and something that's always something that's bothered me is the headline never is the article in a lot of things that are out online today. It's meant to grab and it has almost nothing to do with the actual article itself and it's very misleading. I'm just curious you guys are going to try and make sure that that doesn't happen? I have actually seen it. It's never happened before.

Speaker 3:

It's never happened before. I mean yeah.

Speaker 5:

Just stick with that philosophy, though, so I would appreciate that.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, no, because a lot of people isn't like engagement, farming, title stuff and it's like, oh, why is Cardano so shit and you go into it and it's actually why Cardano is so great, you know it's. It's a bit misleading, that's the thing. And because we're funded the way we are, we're not, we don't care about that, we're not about, you know, just getting engagement. We do want outreach, we want people outside of the Cardano community to be pulled in by our articles and then start getting interested in Cardano and all the sort of projects within it as well. So I mean, it's so yeah.

Speaker 3:

I mean. But I get what you're saying. We don't want misleading headlines, that's right.

Speaker 5:

And so for me, I've absolutely loved your videos that you've done in the past. You're very insightful. At the same time, keep it somewhat entertaining as well, and I'm curious as far as some of the articles that get pushed out. You might have a particular topic that's a hot topic at the time. Would it be something that you might also engage with the community, with a space, let's say, surrounding that particular topic and maybe the author of the article, something like that, where you could kind of expand on a little bit more and allow for some community involvement as well?

Speaker 3:

Well, that's what I was thinking with Discord. Actually, I mean I did sort of toy the idea. I mean we could do Twitter spaces, but you know we've got this space here, which is doing the same thing. We don't need another one, like Cardano over coffee is doing just fine, you know so, and I don't think there would be much engagement in Okay.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's hard to tell some of the articles that get put out, especially with the videos. I noticed, because that's what I was doing, like I would just be pumping out videos, just doing them as normal, the odd video. I remember when I did Akin I think it was Akin or Igon, I think, yeah, when I did that and the video just blew up. Well, it blew up compared to everything else and I, you know I didn't necessarily get why, but it was obviously because it was a big project everyone was hearing about and yeah, I mean I guess we could have done a Twitter space on that. But I mean, maybe, you know it's something to think about. We want engagement in the articles for sure. So that's yeah, on Discord, maybe a Twitter space, but I just feel like you know, we have cut on over coffee for this sort of thing. I could just come on here, right no?

Speaker 5:

absolutely, absolutely, you can. And the only problem is, with Discord you'll never get hero over there. He just, he just refuses, he won't go. I've offered him cookies and tea and you know trumpets, and he still won't come over there.

Speaker 3:

So he's putting out fires.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well, so I want to be respectful of time, because we do have another guest that we're going to cook up a cup of conversation with in just a few moments. So the the idea scale link is pinned at the top. Joshua or Dixon, is there any sort of calls to action that you'd like to leave us with any final words, some or two statements for us?

Speaker 3:

Support independent news, real news, and you know we asked what we need and it relies on the Karana community. That's who we're serving and that's who's paying us in. You know with the, you know through catalyst. So just get, just vote for Adapulse If you want true, unbiased news. Without any shilling, without any I'm not pumping, we're not pumping any bags or anything like that. We don't even talk about Cardano price. So I mean, if we wanted, we could have TAs and just get load of engagement through that. But we don't do that. We're all about actual, you know, real content, real education and real facts.

Speaker 2:

Awesome To get voting for us. Hell yeah, awesome that you joined us to tell us all about Adapulseio. You can check it out.

Speaker 3:

Thanks for having us man.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely. Thanks, man. Yeah, joshua, I would. I would love to keep the conversation going with you guys specifically about tokenizing news articles, totally an area I'm interested in. Yeah, we've got.

Speaker 3:

Lloyd in here as well, because I think that was something when I first I think Lloyd's thinking something similar. So I think there's going to be some sort of cooperation between quite a few sort of sort of whether it's journalists or news outlets. I'm not entirely sure, haven't joined it yet, but yeah, so there's going to be. We plan to really plan to be innovative, not just some boring news outlet.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, big shout out to Lloyd down there and also to. Dripdrops is a great outlet for distribution. I know that EatFamPool is a DripDrop operator, and publishing content on DripDrops is a great way to get tokens out of the ecosystem. Tons of stuff you can do. There's no ecosystem quite as composable as the native assets on Cardano. A lot you can fit in there, man. So it's stoked to cook it up with you in the future and do come back to the show. Good luck on the catalyst proposal, man, and thanks again for joining us.

Speaker 3:

Thanks for having me, man. Yeah, look forward to catching up with you soon.
