# Crypto Comix Hackathon Pitch


## Welcome 👋

Hey!

I'm Kerp. Co-founder of the Juris Project, a member of LexDAO and Raid Guild, and a lifelong comic nerd.

This hackathon project is based on a real life use case I suspect exists in cities across globe, but building it out will also tackle a lot of the challenges that DAOs will face as we push toward mass adoption.

I have a local comic book shop where I'm friends with the owner/manager. If this works, maybe we can get her to DAO up the shop!

Also, think of all the delicious memes!

More details below. Get me on Discord or Twitter (@thekerp) if this sounds like fun.

## Crypto Comic Shop !!

Crypto Comix is a small local comic book shop.


In the late 90s, early 2000's comic books were still big business.

As digital has taken hold, what were once city or nation-wide chains of comic shops have splintered, but the local comic shop is alive and well. There is still a strong consumer base for old school books, indie books, and collectibles. Their communities are driven by local shops, where they also congregate to buy books, play games, and spend time with their friends.

Hit especially hard by COVID, Crypto Comix is struggling to make rent without their usual foot traffic, and there are a few hundred community members super bummed that the place might close.

Here is my challenge to the Hack for Freedom community:

Can we DAO this up to save Crypto Comix?

### Some questions:

- Can we introduce community ownership of the Comic Shop itself?
- Can we share profits? (Yeah, but we'll have to be careful on the legal front. LexDAO, I'm looking at you.)
- What other benefits can we build in? (Rage-quitting!)
- Can the pledge process provide working capital enough to run a shop like this? (What's the minimal amount of capital required to get started?)
- Can we automate all of the paperwork? (Let's try!)
- Where else can we get weird with it? (Pooling funds to purchase/create limited edition comics? Comic Shop in Crypto-Voxels?)

### And most importantly:

- Can we do all of this without needing to explain Web3 to a single person who doesn't want to know?
- All dApps are in need of a "wallet-less" user path (syncs in to the DAO Hack Month bounties - Abridged, Portis, Formatic, etc). Let's hack on it!

Annnd that's what I've got so far. Happy to jam on other takes.

Excelsior!
