Hello everyone, Sandow Podcast number 47.
Today we'll be doing a text based interview with Biversonart.eth, spelled B-I-V-E-R-S-E-N-A-R-T.ETH
if you're looking at the Sandbox Dow delegation page.
Biversonart is from Turkey, also called Turkiye, and today we are going to be doing a text
based meet and greet with Biversonart.
And also serves as a learning opportunity to get to know who Biversonart is and what
their approach to voting is.
That's the scope of the talk for today.
Disclaimer, I do not represent the Sandbox game or the Sandbox Dow Foundation.
I am not your financial or legal advisor and nothing I say is to be taken as financial
or legal advice.
When I say the word SIP, I mean Sandbox Improvement Proposal.
When I say the word Dow, I mean Decentralized Autonomous Organization.
And when I say SanFam, I mean the Sandbox community who participate in the people, product,
and purpose of the Sandbox ecosystem.
That ecosystem is made up of the people, which is everyone from gamers to Sandbox team, product,
everything from the game client to the Dow, and the purpose, which was originally written
into the white paper in 2020 and also expound upon by the Sandbox co-founders and leadership
team about being the cultural capital of the metaverse to empower creators.
All that comes together to create the ecosystem of which today's podcast is about the Dow
delegates portion in the people sector.
The scorecard and the checkbook have not moved because the Dow team has been hard at work
at implementing the delegation process.
So we are still at 2.3 million San spent over a 15.5 million budget.
The road to the Dow began May 28th, 2024 when it was announced via a medium article.
Then in September 10th, the Sandbox Dow admin team opened up delegation applications.
On November 13th, 12 delegates were announced for the Sandbox Dow as approved official delegates.
Today one such delegate that we interviewed via text is Vyversinart from Turkey and the
description on the delegation page reads, stay free, stay true.
I train the community and Vox editing and game maker on live stream.
We organize events and distribute prizes through our studio.
In short, we get support from the community and we are pioneers in many areas.
I think I can be the voice of the community for Dow.
So let's go with question number one.
Byversinart, what is your background?
Byversinart wrote, I used to do graphic design and post-production work.
In 2015, I entered the cryptocurrency industry realizing I realized that blockchain technology
was the future and discovered Sandbox about four years ago.
After spending some time with the game making tools, we founded Get Some Jam Studio with
Pure Tiger.
So when I go to Get Some Jam, you can see right away that there's a in the banner, there's
some familiar experiences like Color Catch, which is currently in Alpha season four and
zero zero and Sivaoke dream.
So that's pretty cool.
You click the trusted partner website or a sandbox profile and you can see in the experiences
of Yes, and Jam Game Studio is a landowner.
They have assets and in the experiences, it looks like there are eight, eight different
experiences, one of which is Color Catch, which most people know and have played, love
it or hate it.
It's a fun, it's a good game.
Here you can see the game itself is you're running across up and up and up platforms
and there is a color that it announces you have five or so seconds to jump to the next
platform and get all the way to whatever color it is, is all the other platforms disappear.
So you have to make your way all the way up to whether you are super frustrated because
you can't get up like me, I keep falling or if you are just a pro at it, it's still a
really, really unique and interesting game.
Okay, Byversonart wrote further, I am now a game maker at Yes, and Jam Game Studio.
I am an Alpha season four ambassador.
I've been a game maker since version nine.
I prepared sandbox Turkey training sets.
I gave game maker and Vox edit training on sandbox Turkey Twitch channel.
I was instructor in sandbox Turkey hack, lethons and a juror in game competitions.
I placed first two times in the sandbox hashtag Saturday screenshot event.
I have various degrees in 12 game jam competitions under the name of studio.
Two of our games were selected for Alpha season first being color catch, which we showed the
second one being newborn retribution.
When you go there, if you go there, you'll see looks like it is a looks like it's a it's
an arena fighter.
Try not to die.
So you you survive waves of this that come at you.
Kind of almost looks like the old guitar hero.
But instead of hitting the chords, you're trying to avoid the little chords from hitting
you.
So cool.
Those are two games that were selected for Alpha season from the at some game jam studio
of which by version art is a game maker.
I first not for the for the road about his background, his or her background.
I also try to help people in the community with game maker and boxed it as much as I
can.
And then by first start gave me their sandstorm profile, which had a lot of assets and I mean
a ton of voxel art.
It looks really cool to buy our start looks like a very talented box or voxel artist.
Looks like also I see a variant there the blue alpha dragon looks like a like a sand
dragon called dragon Kingu.
Okay, second question is when did you become San Fam?
Our verse not wrote February 2020 I knew old 2D mobile sandbox since 2015.
When they enter the crypto sector in 2018, my interest increased.
Question three, what has been your involvement in the sandbox community?
I've ever start wrote, I've been in the industry.
I've always wanted to make games.
I don't have the skills like unity and unreal.
When I saw sandbox tools, I discovered that I could fulfill this desire.
People started to like what I was building.
That's how I met the community and got involved.
And then linked me the sandstorm profile, which I just went over and showed color catch.
But also there was a tweet sent out last year about a game called Flappy Coffee and looks
like a like a site where you're jumping up across obstacles.
So pretty cool.
Clearly by Berserker is a gifted game maker and voxel artist.
To question four, what was your motivation for applying to be a delegate?
I've ever sent wrote to do something for the Turkish community and to increase the productivity
of the sandbox ecosystem.
Question five snapshot shows no voting history.
Have you voted in a Dow before?
And when you look at the Biverson's Biverson Arts snapshot profile, you'll see that there's
there's no activity yet.
So Barverson wrote an answer to that question.
Yes, I have.
I voted in other Dow systems before like slingshot.
I am very active as a sandbox ecosystem as a builder, preparing for Builders Challenge,
Mochaverse and Alpha Season 4 events.
I haven't enough time for the sandbox Dow.
I will start exploring the sandbox Dow.
So that kind of makes sense.
As MetaWorlds, the president of MetaWorlds, we were in Builders Challenge one, and I know
just how much that is.
That's tough.
That's really tough to try and manage all those things at once.
So I completely understand where Biverson Art is coming from.
Makes sense that it's hard to do both.
And question six, how do you intend to approach voting?
Yes, no, or abstain?
Barverson Art wrote, it depends on what the issue is about and its importance.
I respect everyone's decision.
And I've heard this from quite a number of delegates where they chose to say that their
intended approach is to keep an open mind.
And that's what I hear Barverson Art speaking to right here, is respecting everyone's decision,
respecting their proposal and hearing them out.
Question seven, are you involved in any of the Dows?
Barverson Art wrote, yes, I've been involved in blockchain technologies for a long time.
It's not without minting NFTs, using swap or bridge, voting in Dows, paying high gas
fees, trading and getting hacked, or losing wallets a few times.
And Barverson Art gave me a smiley emoji there.
Question eight, from your delegation description, what is the significance of stay free, stay
true?
Barverson Art wrote, the two things a person should have, freedom and being true.
So look the way you are, live the way you want.
Question nine, from your delegate description, how many events have you organized and who
through?
Barverson Art wrote, as at Simjan Gan's studio, we organized events related to our sandbox
experiences and distributed prizes.
We also get involved in sandbox Turkey as events or become a participant to help organize
the event.
For example, in the hackathon, I was both an instructor and a jury.
I trained more than 60 people for three days almost nonstop.
We currently have a sandbox training camp project for Turkey, but we are working on
the details.
Question 10, from your delegate description, what kind of voice do you want to be?
Barverson Art jokingly wrote, baritone.
As well as suggestions that make sense and improve the ecosystem against others.
Question 11, what kind of delegate do you want to be known as?
Barverson Art wrote, we will learn together in time.
Question 12, what sort of sips do you not support?
Barverson Art wrote, I do not support all sips that will contribute nothing to the sandbox
ecosystem.
Question 13, what type of SanFam voter best fits your delegation style?
Barverson Art wrote, everyone who contributes to the ecosystem in some way and wants to
improve it because that's what I do.
Question 14, what was the delegate process like for you?
Barverson Art wrote, I applied.
A short interview afterwards and then one day I got an email in my mailbox saying I
became a delegate.
Question 15, does the 2 million gifted voting power change your voting perspective or process?
Barverson Art wrote, do I have such a gift?
Good opportunity to become a dictator.
Joking of course, gave me the smiley face with the tongue stick out emoji.
Clearly joking on that.
Barverson Art wrote further, I really don't know.
As I said I couldn't look because I was very busy, but even if it's 100 million it doesn't
change much for me.
That's pretty much in line with what I've heard elsewhere that none of the delegates
knew this was coming.
And so Barverson Art who's been focusing a lot on Build to Challenge 1 and 2, Build
to Challenge 2 happened while the Dow was announced.
It makes sense that Barverson Art didn't know that the 2 million was gifted, especially
when announced.
So the last question, question 16, have you had to sign any agreements to be a delegate?
Barverson Art wrote, no.
I don't have any community questions or open topics.
So that brings us to SandboxBases.
So if you're listening to this, Barverson Art and others, the places that Sandbox gathers
is in the Discord, the Sandbox Game Discord, hashtag Dow Discussion Channel.
There's also the SandboxDow forums.
And on Twitter we use hashtags Sandfam, hashtag the SandboxDow, hashtag the SandboxGame.
Also follow the SandboxDow Twitter feed, Twitter page, next page.
On YouTube there's the at SandboxDow, or at the SandboxDow official YouTube, which is
where the official podcast is for the SandboxDow.
There's also at Lanza YT, which is the podcast you're listening to right now, which is SandDow.
And then there's at Sandfam Cafe, which is a weekly, excuse me, a monthly panel of different
community voices hosted by Bruno, otherwise known as Pickaxe Master.
On Twitter and X, on Mondays there's Mochaverse Hall, on Tuesdays there is Bowls on the, excuse
me, on Saturdays there's Bowls on the Block, on Monday through Friday is Coffee with Captain,
and on Tuesdays is Natively Digital with Whale Members.
I highly recommend visiting these if you can, because that is where you'll find many Sandfam
members and you'll be able to introduce yourself further and ask for more delegation, more
delegates.
And that's all I have this episode.
This was Sandow Podcast 47, our text-based interview with Biversonart.Eth from Turkey.
The motto is, Stay Free, Stay True, and has a big background and experience in game making,
voxel, editing, and is with one of the Game Jam Studios who has not one, but two experiences
in Alpha Season 4.
You can find that in 00 on the map.
Thank you all for your time.
Have a great day.
