Only 18% of dreams tokens spent - proposal

Currently, about 18% of tokens were spent.
I would like to propose to do 2 things:
1. extend voting deadline to the 5th of May
2. Send out a personal email to all ticket holders to please remind them to vote, only focused on the dreams platform
Why do I believe this low % to be a problem?
- it is much harder to distill the community's dream token spending preference from such a limited % of participation
- about 80% of our community is not engaging with the artists & dreams, which is a loss to both participation in terms of helping realize projects + a loss in terms of excitement about Kiez Burn.
- participation begets more participation. Once people see our vision alive, see the co-creation happening, they will be more inspired to participate even more.
why extend the deadline?
I believe we made a mistake in placing the deadline voting close date=date last submission dream. This means that people will wait with voting until the last moment.
By extending the voting deadline, we do not have that problem
how to get ppl to vote?
The communicorns are the best ppl for this, so I made a thread there to discuss it: https://talk.kiezburn.org/d/ALZ5ncfi/dream-tokens-getting-ppl-to-vote?fbclid=IwAR20H5gCJl2a3FdMTSj4V8ijwxnyp2x31GRdziX4YiAqaAn21s4p2qIVJzE

this is the first time we're using this system and the majority of the community might not realize it's awesomeness. but they will see/experience it's outcome at the burn and be more inclined to use it next year.

extend voting deadline to the 5th of May
I fear that we might be putting off Dreamers who need to know ASAP if they have the funds to realize their dream. if we do this, we should min-fund dreams which are at >X% and congratulate their creators :medal:

5 more days won't break the bank, won't it? And dreamers that are close to their minimum, already know they are getting close...

agree with extend deadline and tell people, that they have to vote (they might not know, nor that there is a deadline!)

Yes, communication was a little weak on this point, only the recent newsletter was really helpful on these.

It would be awesome if the remaining unapproved dreams got processed before the deadline extension (which would also be awesome) :)

At this point someone/anyone have to get creative. I would suggest make a dream "house of fur and meat" and send an email to every ticket holder asking to use their tokens otherwise the tokens will be evenly distributed financing project like "house of fur and meat". Make the dream fun and scary enough it will be a good hookup, unfortunately 0 time in the coming weeks.
Concerning the distribution algorithm, i wrote a post already on Saskia's thread about tokens. An iterative fair algorithm is the choice here, not some random x% financing scheme.

You are right in pointing out that the distribution algorithm for the non-distributed votes is important and will be the next step. But I would suggest to still focus first on getting the amount of attributed votes up as much as possible.

Just some input: I for example was holding on to my tokens, because a lot of the dreams I favored couldn't be voted for. Saying "granting disabled". And also more dreams have been popping up day by day so I wanted to save my tokens until ALL the dreams are there and able to vote for. Basically creating equal opportunities for all the dreamers

Yes! There is an audience list on mailchimp containing all KB'19 ticket holders, let's send them an email showing stats and maybe some cool dreams that need funding.
EDIT: we could also increase the token value and thus set an incentive to spend tokens, as they're worth more and tell people about it :moneybag:
