At one point, I thought there was talk about the team doing this. I don’t know if that is still potentially in the works. If so, I will withdraw this @langers.
Name of Bounty
Rocket Pool Merchandise Store
What is the nature of the proposed bounty?
Online Store with Rocket Pool Branded Swag
- The store must accept crypto payments along with fiat
- Once up and running, store costs should be funded by a percent of the sales
- The store must remain under control of the pDAO, meaning pDAO can control prices and profit margins to prevent such things as:
a. the persons running the store from price gouging
b. taking too much profit.
Must the results of this project be entirely open source (MIT, GPL, Apache, CC BY license or similar)? If not, which parts will not be, why, and under what license will they be published?
Preferably this is open source, easily managed by a few people and easy to pass on/take over.
Benefits - enter N/A where appropriate
Benefits for this are fairly obvious: advertising and morale boosting via team/community building. It also funds itself after the initial work.
What other non-RPL protocols, DAOs, projects, or individuals, would stand to benefit from the bounty being successfully completed?
NA
Will the results of the completed bounty be open source?
Yes
Work and Verification
What steps would be entailed in completing the bounty? Do successful examples of such work exist elsewhere?
There have been a couple previous examples for Rocket Pool, for example @RPLGrime had a basic store set up, which can potentially be expanded. Otherwise, it would require either an existing template, which are numerous, or something slicker built from the ground up. These are usually fronts for a shirt printing company, like customink, etc.
I also imagine there are numerous examples from other crypto orgs to choose from.
How long is the proposed bounty available for? Is it awarded to the first team to successfully claim it, or is it in some way divided among all such successful claims in the proposed availability period?
First fully functioning store.
Who will test any products submitted for claiming the bounty?
A select group of volunteers who want to purchase RP gear.
What is the acceptance criteria for awarding of the bounty?
Application with a history of web commerce work.
Payment
How much USD $ is the applicant requesting for successful completion of the bounty?
Variable depending on what direction the applicant is going. Rebranding an existing template might be $500, whereas a from the ground up design with multiple APIs to various printing companies could bring it to $5000 or more.
Conflict of Interest
Does the person or persons proposing the bounty have any conflicts of interest to disclose? (Please disclose here if you are a member of the GMC or if any member of the GMC would benefit directly financially from the successful completion of the bounty).
No conflicts
Will the applicant, or any protocol or project in which the applicant has a vested interest (other than Rocket Pool), benefit financially if the bounty is successfully completed?
No
