Polkadot education content production extension by Cryptonitas
Hi everyone! I'm Cervera, creator of Cryptonitas, and I've been creating educational video tutorials for the Polkadot and Kusama community since April 19, 2021. In addition to creating educational content, I have been contributing to the community in different ways: supporting the community by answering questions on the Telegram channels and YouTube; through participation in different events (both as a speaker and as a member of the organizational team); with the creation of events, such as the Decoded 2022 viewing party in Valencia; and the creation of a Nomination Pool on both Polkadot and Kusama, among other things.
This proposal intends to continue the content creation of the previous proposal, which includes the production of 170+ pieces of content. The main objective of this proposal is to have an informed, educated and valuable community that knows how to make real and appropriate use of the network. For more information, I invite you to read the complete proposal here.
Further community feedback may be found on this tweet.

Hello @Cryptonitas, I think the proposal is very good. I like to see the professional structure and the budgets well broken down. I was looking at the list about the 24 tutorial episodes. I think adding Subwallet to the tutorials would be a great move as both their team and their product are impressive. Another point that I would add would be tutorials on moving assets in XCM, whether they are NFTs or Tokens. Regarding the Live Shows, I would like to know if it is possible in what range of hours it will be done (simply to know if it will seek to give access to both the Latin American community and the European community). Regarding the Shorts, I think it's a great idea, I'm sorry for the situation you commented on about the meticas and the recommended ones on YouTube, I'm sure that the shorts will be of great value for those of us who don't have time to watch long videos. In the case of Kusamarian, I have seen that they are doing very well on TikTok. I am intrigued to see what interviews you will bring to your channel, I can only say that the last interview on Governance was one of the best in the ecosystem. I know that you have put cost 0 to the Face-to-face meetups, taking into account that Valencia is a city very focused on entrepreneurship, I would value the possibility of requesting funds from one of the Bounty available to rent a place on specific dates to do meetings with said entrepreneurs or even workshops for ambassadors in person as this would cause domino effects in the community. I think the sweatshirts are very original, for my part I will compete to be proud to wear them hahaha This has been all for my part, I remain observing ----- Hola, me parece muy buena la propuesta. Me agrada ver la estructuración profesional y los presupuestos bien desglosados. Estuve viendo la lista sobre los 24 episodios de tutoriales. Considero que añadir a Subwallet en los tutoriales sería un gran acierto ya que tanto su equipo como su producto es impresionante. Otro punto que añadiría sería tutoriales sobre mover activos en XCM, ya sean NFTs o Tokens. Respecto a los Live Shows me gustaría saber si es posible en que rango de horas se hará (simplemente para saber si se buscará dar acceso tanto a la comunidad de LatinoAmerica como a la comunidad de Europa). Respecto a los Shorts creo que es una gran idea, lamento la situación que comentaste sobre las meticas y los recomendados de Youtube, estoy seguro de que los shorts serán de gran valor para los que no tenemos tiempo de ver videos extensos. En el caso de Kusamarian he visto que en TikTok les está yendo muy bien. Estoy intrigado por ver que entrevistas llevarás a tu canal, solo puedo decir que la última entrevista sobre Gobernanza fue de las mejores del ecosistema. Se que has puesto coste 0 a los Face-to-face meetups, teniendo en cuenta que Valencia es una ciudad muy enfocada en el emprendimiento, valoraría la posibilidad de solicitar fondos a alguno de los Bounty disponibles para alquilar un local en fechas puntuales para hacer reuniones con dichos emprendedores o incluso talleres para embajadores en persona ya que esto causaría efecto domino en la comunidad. Me parece muy original lo de las sudaderas, por mi parte comperiré para sentirme orgulloso al llevarla puesta hahaha Esto ha sido todo por mi parte, quedo observando
Hi!
First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time to read the full proposal and comment. I'm really glad you like it overall.
Regarding adding the tutorial videos of Subwallet and XCM, we will definitely add them. The target audience for these videos is the Polkadot and Kusama community, so any video they want and propose will be considered for production whenever possible.
The live shows will start every Thursday at 18 UTC, which will allow access to both the European and Latam audiences. Again, thanks for this contribution, it's something that we had not mentioned in the proposal and we are going to add it.
As for TikTok, it's true that it is a platform that attracts a large audience and we have been testing the Cryptonitas TikTok channel. Perhaps it is a bit hidden in the proposal, but in the specific budget of the Shorts we have included the diffusion on TikTok.
At the moment, for interviews, we only have 2 confirmed people. Suggestions of key members that you would like to see in the community are welcome.
Finally, regarding the meetups, we will take the first half year as a test to really check the acceptance of this initiative. Both renting the places and giving talks to entrepreneurs, we believe that it is a bit out of our main focus and perhaps it will be taken into account for later, but holding workshops for ambassadors to learn how to use Polkadot.js well and that they, in turn, can supporting issues that appear in the Polkadot and Kusama channels is an idea with a lot of potential. In fact, I'll value the fact of holding 2 meetings in Madrid to offer a more central point where the greatest number of ambassadors can access and train together.
Hi Cervera, thanks for sharing your proposal. I noticed that your previous proposal stated that you would produce 64 videos, but your report shows only 37. Can you clarify why there is a discrepancy?
Hi!
Regarding the previous proposal, funding was requested for 37 videos (educational tutorials and news) which were completed as can be seen here. The rest of the videos (interviews and live shows) were financed at $1 each since they were sections that were in a trial period.
Initially, in the previous proposal, the live shows were going to have a duration of 30 minutes (with a weekly frequency it was a total of 13 hours in live shows), but that amount of time was not enough to be able to answer everyone or talk about the topics prepared for that session. After a discussion on the Cryptonitas channel and a form sent in one of the live streams, we decided to do a live stream approximately every 15 days lasting 60/90 minutes to be able to deal with more topics in more depth (this makes a total of 10.8h in live shows. You can check the statistics here). In any case, it should be noted that on Thursday, March 30, we will broadcast another live show.
For this reason, in this proposal the live shows will be done every 2 weeks and will have an average duration of 60/90 minutes.
Thanks for your comment. Perhaps it was a mistake on my part not to clarify this in the report. We will add it.
