Ok, wow, this has been quite the journey so far. On a personal note I'd like to say that I appreciate the support from this community on this pretty wild experiment, for bearing with the project, and even experiencing some sacrifices along the way.

What have we achieved?

r/EthTrader now has a fully functioning dao and it's own ERC20 token, DONUT, with a distribution based on contributions to the community. A counterpart, non-transferable token, CONTRIB, also records this contribution, immutably, on-chain.

r/EthTrader is backed by an Aragon DAO - what does this mean?

r/EthTrader's Aragon DAO is made up of interacting, upgradeable, and infinitely extensible apps. It is a decentralised, self-sovereign entity, not reliant on any single hosting platform.

But this community doesn't just have a dao but also, thanks to an unprecedented collaboration, integrations from this Ethereum dao into the most important and popular community platform on the web, Reddit.

What you can do

• buy and sell donuts
• make polls and vote (on-chain/off-chain, two systems, same balances) - polls are now working on mobile!
• tip each other - click the donut above registered users and follow the link
• buy the banner - really do check out the great ux Reddit devs worked out there!
• special membership (coming soon, really!)

What next

I would love to continue to build out features that leverage donuts within r/EthTrader and make these features also available to other communities. The real contributors to online communities should have the say in how these communities are run and how to maximise the value they provide. This is only possible with Ethereum and projects like this that leverage Ethereum to change how we interact with the web.

What would you like to see built?

Lastly

In the previous, Launch progress thread, a few people brought up the difficulty of adding ETH to fresh acccounts in an anonymous way. A few years ago in a previous iteration of this project a fund was created to help with this issue in at least a small way. So I have just used multisend.co to distribute the 1 ETH in that fund to the 235 accounts with a 0 ETH balance (ended up about 0.0042 ETH per account).
