[Vietnamese] 30 second Questionnaire Result for Catalyst Improvement (FUND 8) by Eastern Hemisphere Town Hall

The survey was conducted by the Eastern Townhall for the Vietnamese community after Fund8 finished and there were 22 answers so far. Although the number of answers does not highly represent the community, it does show some ideas and suggestions where we can slowly learn the community’s attitude toward Catalyst.

Others:

  • the idea display interface is overloaded when there are too many ideas and have to reload from the beginning, I suggest displaying the number of pages, 20 suggestions each (4,5%) 1vote
  • Catalyst should use another platform to organize Funds instead of IdeaScale because I find IdeaScale has some problems as follows: One is that the working process of the parties is being separated into many places, in which proposer and PA then working on IdeaScale, vPA working on Google Sheet file and voting on another mobile application. Thus, it will be difficult for users to participate in Catalyst as well as difficult for IOG to aggregate data. Second, IdeaScale’s server is unstable, sometimes it has to be maintained, leading to users not being able to access catalyst. Third, the search proposal features on IdeaScale are also not optimized. Fourth, IdeaScale does not have a KYC feature, leading to a PA that can create multiple accounts and pretend to be multiple PAs to cheat for profit. Fifth is that PA can’t review the reviews I’ve written on IdeaScale (4,5%) 1 vote
  • Increase the Voter’s reward (4,5%) 1 vote

[Optional (1)] Any requests for the Cardano Foundation/Emurgo/IOG(IOHK)/Cardano Ambassadors/Eastern Hemisphere Town Hall?

  • Burn ada
  • Provide operating budget for Eastern Townhall
  • More sponsor for East Asia community
  • I hope Emurgo can make their courses free to support developers participating in the Cardano ecosystem.
  • At the same time, I also want Catalyst to be transparent about the prize money of each review. Currently, Catalyst only provides information on how much each PA is rewarded in a fund, but it is not clear how much each PA’s evaluation is rewarded.
  • There are rewards/penalties for voting. Wrong votes are penalized, right votes are rewarded
