P2P Publisher - Monerotopia Mexico City

•	¿What the proposal is about?.

The P2P Publisher - Monerotopia Mexico City proposal Its objective is to disseminate Monero as a project, and put aside the belief that it is one more "Crypto", and make clear what we propose in Monero, share the philosophy that derives from the manifesto Cryptoanarchist, Cypherpunk Manifesto, and the Monero Whitepaper.
I plan to reach Free Software communities in Mexico, universities, institutes and meetings of Free Software lovers in public places that are organized on weekends in that city.
I also plan to distribute and paste publicity about the project and Monerotopia Mexico City to cause curiosity among people, leave data such as:
*Website getmonero.org
*Social networks of Monero and Moneristas
*Cryptoanarchist and Cypherpunk manifestos
*monerotopia.com
I will take photos and video of everything that is done to share it with all of you and that it be disseminated on social networks.


•	In front of this proposal?

I will complete this proposal, take care of all the technical and social details to reach as many people as possible within Mexico City, and manage all advertising that will be printed and distributed.
This advertising will be drawn from existing designs, I will also print Cryptoanarchist and Cypherpunk manifesto pamphlets, posters for poles, walls and much more.I currently live in Colombia, therefore in the budget I put the value of the airfare to and from Mexico.
As I explained in the previous paragraphs, I will be in charge of distributing monero advertising and generating multimedia content for this purpose, I will look for a way to open conversation spaces about the MoneroTopia event and especially Monero, to leave that seed of private money in people which I plan to reach.
I speak Spanish, I have the facility to explain Monero in this language, on a technical and philosophical level, I am also passionate about computers and Linux, I have been in those communities for years and I know that someone who talks to them about Monero with full impact will have a great impact on them. security security


•	Importance of this proposal for the Monero community.

I think that Mexico DF is an excellent entry opportunity since there are many foreigners from Asia, Europe, Canada, North America and Latin America in that city, who may be interested in learning about Monero and using it in their daily lives, such as paying in restaurants, products and services online, and even to send and receive remittances in a private and untaxable way.
At the level of Spanish speakers Monero is very unknown, there is only a bad image of the project and I think that a lot of pedagogy is needed to change that perception.
That is why I think that this proposal is fundamental for Monero in Latin America, to directly reach these niches that currently promulgate the values of freedom at the code level, but not at the level of decentralized money, and I see that if we manage to reach them before of MoneroTopia, we will attract many more people until the event is bursting with attendees curious to learn and understand Monero.
This is just a seed, in order to germinate a genuine interest and appreciation for the project in this region of the world, I know that after this, Monero will grow much more in Monero defenders of privacy and freedom.

•	Milestones and projected timeline

An expiration date for the proposal. If it's not funded or finished by a certain time, the funds can be released to other proposals or the General Fund. This keeps things moving along in a timely fashion.

March 28 will be the deadline to gather at least 60% of the funds for this initiative.

This sounds more like a marketing position for Monerotopia than Monero. In any case, your deadline of March 28th is so close, it is highly unlikely this proposal could even be merged by then, even with full community support. Even if it would be decided to move to funding on the next community meeting (25th of March) and instantly merged, you'd only have 3 days to raise funds before the deadline.

You could try reaching out to Monerotopia directly and maybe they'll hire you but I don't see this CCS proposal going anywhere.

Regarding the dates, you are right, times may not allow the proposal to be financed, but even so, I have faith that it can be achieved.

Regarding the destination of the initiative, all this is not for MoneroTopia, it is to take advantage of the fact that they are contributing to Monero in May, and I want to propose to the Monero community that we support the Monero project for the Hispanic Speakers, because the tickets to MoneroTopia are not free, and we will be paid with the funds raised, what I intend is to sow curiosity in Spanish-speaking people, if you carefully review the schedule you will see that more than 90% of the actions are Pro-Monero as a project. And it would be mean of me not to mention MoneroTopia, I think if we manage to get a lot of people they will thank the community in good faith, we all win here.

I want to move on, I am willing to do whatever is necessary for the community to listen to me and make them understand how important it is for Monero to expand throughout Latin America from Mexico. In the end, I am looking for the same thing as you, that Monero be understood as the best fungible cash that respects the values of privacy and freedom and not as another crypto.

Thanks for your comment.

The CCS funded MoneroKon has volunteer opportunities https://monerokon.com/ (located in Prague) - afaik there are reimbursements / tickets for those who qualify, contact the organisers for more information.

It is not convenient for me to go to Prague because it would cost almost double the Monero I requested, and I don't speak Cheko, that's why I insist on Mexico, because I speak Spanish and move around Latin America. You can read the proposal in detail so that what I say is understandable.

Please look at this proposal, i'm seeing similarities !367 (closed)

This is a marketing proposal after all, and it seems to me that you've missed obvious things to make this a more 'marketable ccs' (just like the above proposal) as im now left thinking: ' tell me about yourself / have you ever done anything like this before / do you actually own a camera? have you ever taken a video or picture before? / What promotional material are you using? would designers be commissioned for others? '

also "send and receive remittances in a private and untaxable way." is illegal / seems to suggest breaking the law*.

I think you will have more success contacting Monerotopia/Doug directly.

Will bring this up at the next community meeting on the 25th https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/810

I thank you very much for your answer, and I read the previous proposal, but mine goes beyond an illegal act for remittances, people with USDT, USDC, BNB, BUSD, DAI, ETH and other traceable Cryptocurrencies already do it, I I just wanted to show privacy, and I send and receive remittances in XMR and I don't consider myself a criminal.

Now, regarding the camera, I am fortunate to have help, a CypherPunk from Mexico who is willing to accompany me to take the photos and show the results to the Monero community. I handle Photoshop, and I know about Hacktivist photography, since 2012 I follow all this activism. The material from which I am drawing inspiration for the designs comes mainly from: https://monero.graphics/ https://monero.observer/monero-observer-artistic-saturday-week-27-2022/ and I will co-design everything, and the editable files and PNGs I will send them for the community to continue using. Everything you do is for the community*

I have traveled through Latin America before to other communities doing Lobbying for their companies and I have experience with meetings, in addition to that thanks to my experience and study I know about Privacy at a philosophical and technical level. I have studied Bitcoin at Satoshi's Library, that's where I began my technical understanding to help her understand Monero even more and to be able to explain it, I belong to a group of Spanish-speaking Cryptoanarchists, the only one in LATAM, due to the very ignorance of these values that Monero represents.

Respectfully. They should be more open to these proposals, since Monero is so unknown today, a good organic Marketing campaign by people who love the project like me, should not be seen with bad eyes, you should take some time to meet the person behind, I insist that this proposal is what Monero needs in Latin America, here we only have 5 Nodes running Monero CLI And I say it properly because I have spoken with several from LATAM, and also Latin America is not easy, it is a site dangerous in many areas, and as a Latino I will move stealthily to achieve maximum publicity, when interacting with academics and students.

To finish: This is my first time submitting a proposal, I think I have made structural errors, but they are not impossible to correct (I have not edited the proposal many times to avoid seeming dishonest) But if what worries you is delivering XMR from the Monero Fund to a Latino, we can manage something more transparent, I am convinced that this marketing campaign that I plan to carry out will contribute a lot to the community.

PS: If MoneroTopia wants to support me, welcome it, but I'm not doing it for them, Tuman also doesn't like me, so that's why I have nothing with MoneroTopia.

I would like to avoid proposers sending private messages to those who give feedback (be it negative/positive). We've had issues with this in the past and it could make people uncomfortable. Best to keep everything in the open (ideally, at the meetings when your proposal is brought up)

I apologize for that plowsoff. But even if my proposal is not to your liking, or does not fulfill your purposes, there is no reason for you to attack me personally behind my back (calling me childish), I am open to criticism of my arguments and proposals, but I will never be open to personal attacks.

Also, I have been sick for days, and yesterday I was able to be online again, and I found out that my proposal was rejected, there is no problem with that.

Thank you very much for bringing my proposal to the general discussion, it made me see my shortcomings and I know that in some time I will have more proposals so that Monero is known in Latin America. Greetings.
