• Recognition to Bjarne from TECH Pool for his contribution to ECC in YouTube Fireside Chats (Exchange rate 0,57€/ADA) - Cryptosteel Capsule Solo

We only had two additional spendings towards two honorable SPOs. One to Grow pool as a mean of support for his mission. Usually this would have been a compensation for a space host. But the initial host left gracefully so Marcus jumped in. As the whole team agreed, that the compensation could not be rewarded to any host now, but to Grow pools good cause instead - similar to a donation.

The second spending went as a giveaway to Bjarne from Tech pool who is a big supporter with joining our 1:1 Fireside Chat - Intentionally random, bringing additional value to our spectrum. FYI Bjarne is deeply rooting in CIP-1694 and has been in Cardano since ITN. The talk is showing insight into Cardano from an SPO perspective.

Both spendings are documented in 02/2024, while 03/2024 doesn't hold giveaways..

However, we are discussing to tie giveaways to activities and engagement such as Discord engagement or event participation (i.e Live events, Twitter Spaces, Fireside Chats).
