Question about the possibility of funding

Hello fam

I recently found out about the new possibility of phragmen funding and have a question about it.
I opened a Polkadot thread in Germany’s largest crypto forum “coinforum.de” in 2020 and have been maintaining it ever since. Although I have always done this with great enthusiasm, I wonder whether there might be a possibility of funding for this in the future.

Brief explanation of why I believe that the thread is useful and necessary:

At the beginning I opened the thread to tell other people about Polkadot and the possibilities that come with it. (I also opened various other threads about different parachain projects, as well as a thread about how the auctions themselves work when the crowdloan phase began. However, some of these have since died down because the projects no longer exist and neither does the auction model.)
It quickly became apparent that although many people were enthusiastic about the matter, the technical challenges overwhelmed them.

There are several reasons for this.

  • Surprisingly, many Germans do not speak English well enough to obtain the necessary information.
  • Even if they were able to, many people are simply too lazy and prefer to ask their questions in the thread rather than search for them themselves.
  • Twitter/X is rather unpopular in Germany and Reddit is not used by the general public either.
  • There is no other source of information about Polkadot in German. (Exceptions are sometimes poorly frequented German sections in apps.)

Many people repeatedly expressed their gratitude to me, which of course made me very happy and boosted my motivation.
I was also pleased that I was able to convince many people to move into the ecosystem. Over time, I have become the first point of contact by constantly communicating all the important news and offering help with technical questions.
I would like to stress that I have avoided getting involved in price discussions. I find this rather dubious and have not answered questions about it. (Nevertheless, I do this sometimes on X, but that’s another story.)

A few facts and figures about the thread:
131.9k views
1.1k posts, most of which are mine
2438 likes for my posts
There are, however, significantly more silent readers than registered active users.

The last post from a user today: “Thanks for the info. I’ll give it a try. It’s all pretty time-consuming. I need to clear my head first.” (01/27/25)

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them!
