We lost our old spot in Sagrada Familia... Sad to see it go... but it is also an opportunity! This thread is here to discuss the new opportunity!

A new HQ in Sants! Closed Sat 9 Feb 2019 1:02PM

Tension
Giveth is homeless

Proposal
Let's make a deal with Arnau (Backend dev for iden3) who will manage the house and will sign a new lease for this bad ass spot in Sants! We offered €1400 a month, after taxes and all that we expect the cost to be about €2100 per month.

Background
Lorelei, Sonia, Arnau and myself (Griff) Spent many hours combing thru the listings in Barcelona and we found a GEM! We honestly thought the place was going to be scam because it was so cheap, so nice and had so much space. It will be €200 cheaper than the old place, and much much larger. With our own entrance.

Here is the location:

This is an 8 minute walk from to iden3's office and one of the most magical pieces is that you can take a normal cheap bus to the airport without transfer: https://goo.gl/maps/cizV3Dxjkgy

Here is the ad for the place:

Lorelei took a few videos of it today:

It will need some capital cost up front for more beds, a stove and oven, and other things of that sort. I (Griff) will make sure the bills get paid, but of course would love some occasional financial support from the Unicorn DAC for on going rent and in general some support from the unicorns that come to stay here this spring to help source the furniture and other accoutrements the office will need (looking for a good value!).

The place seems much better suited to our operations. Feels like we could better host our own mini-summits from there!

It looks like an upgrade at a lower cost - great job!

Hell yes. Thanks for doing this and paying for this Griff. Plz indeed, always put it up on the Unicorn Milestones sheet. Oh and it has a direct metro line to the center (only 20 mins w/ metro!) so just perfect. Critical question: if Arnau is living there full-time, maybe he could possibly pay a share of the rent so that it's less heavy for you? Even if it's a symbolical amount? He's the care taker but also living for free, no? #cryptowinterquestions #sorryhadtoask
