Hello Harmony family:
I would like to present my candidacy with a simple goal that I have been carrying on for many years: to help.
Being a Validator today has allowed me to go through all the steps and put myself in a position to help those who are currently landing to be new validators.
I have a family, which has taught me that, as a parent, the greatest reward a person receives is help. It is more rewarding to give than to receive and Harmony has the most important value in its community.
I have been in front of a computer since I was 8 years old and let’s say that I have already passed 40. I have installed countless operating systems that already do not exist, security systems, and a long and so on, that I do not want to bore you.
Proactive security is my number 1 rule when it comes to systems.
I continue to learn every day in a world where it goes much faster than us. Still, studying is part of my day-to-day.
Each person contributes and listening is another rule that I have learned over time.
Supporting decentralization is not easy for anyone, because it never rains to everyone’s liking, but blockchain democracy allows more people to participate in voting on any decision that has to be made to be fair.
My main objective, being or not being chosen in a DAO Validator, is and will be, to investigate and compare what best practices are being used in the Crypto world, from where we can learn a lot because many like us have already been thinking many solutions. After this research, contribute ideas, share them in the community and later implement them in an orderly manner.
With this research and the experience of having carried out many projects in the past, I would like to have the opportunity to give back to this community what it is giving me. Knowledge.
To-do tasks from my point of view in this role:
- Help and remind people that voting is important and its role.
- Explain and help each new member of the community who needs it to Stake
- Explain each of the phases of creating a validator and simplify the installations as much as possible with new ideas in order to make it easier and easier and thus accelerate the growth of the Blockchain.
- Encourage decentralization among validators.
- Listen to the new needs of each member of the community with each onboarding, in order to convey those concerns and needs to the Harmony team.
Have a great day and peace.

Here go the answers I’ve made (close to it as I didn’t record it):
I’ll try to summarize.
-
What can you contribute to the Validator DAO?
My main goal is to help and give back the help that I’ve received from Harmony Community.
My background is Computer engineer, Marketing Manager, Owner of an Agency, Validator owner, Master Node installer/owner/maintenance. Computer Architech. Bring Harmony protocol to as many languages as I could. My expertise comparing client’s technologies knowledge could also bring new ideas.
Developing a program with category levels such as:
- Basic: 5 clicks and Validator ready
- Medium: Like @easynode Tools
- High: Validators manual installers
- Helpers/support: Mature Validators that could help the previous levels as supporters. It would be great to have some funds for them, so their help could be rewarded.
- What does “DAO” means to you and why is participating in the governance of Validator DAO important to you?
DAO for me means to be a really decentralized network also surrounded by people from all over the world, being connected with the same goal and idea: “Be part of a great protocol that can bridge the Crypto World”. Multiculturalism is how I see this network starting on the Validator side.
Focusing all the power in having decentralization it’s what could bring real trust from the outside investors and tech Master Node managers to come to Harmony.
- The Validator DAO is at the moment working on a program to bootstrap validators. What do you believe would be the best certification of a prospective recipient of the VDAO bootstrap funds?
Like talk.harmony.one we could build a LMS (Learning Management System) that could help the community to be identified with badges, who finish all the steps, courses, lessons, etc… and based on that, The community funds could be distributed to help the validators that don’t have a high amount of $ONE’s in their Validator’s wallets but working and helping the community and learning about the system. Also sharing and participating in the Social network channels. What I’d call “Authority”
Anyway, I’ve listened to the AMA, and I’ve seen really good candidates that I’d support by sure.
Great community to help and receive help from.
