There is some real staying power here I think
to do a little bit
he he he in the beginning people got mad, I think it was correct that I stayed out for a while, I think it might be safe now

so next SZN, is it ok if I start voting a bit too? :)
and where it is
where you can see what all their work is
but I really think artists would benefit from control one place
you can have mints in different places

Interesting... with all the scams, I've wondered whether collectors would be comfortable minting directly like that. I believe @[Cody] did it back in 2022.
and ideally decentralized
but your base has to be yours
and then I would make sure my profiles are right on various places raster etc
will be around for the long-term
that a collector will be comfortable
and have at least one options (the decentralized website and long registered ENS)
that is your complete set of work
show your work in one place under your control
website on IFPS/ENS as well as DNS
wallet
including for my minting
is ENS as base identity
what I would do
if i were an artist
as an artist
you should control your own frontend
lol

At LeAsT wE HaVe RoDeO
they had a lot of users at some point
this was this week's one

you have to move out
it is over
you need an active team
security vulnerabilities emerge
bugs emerge
they need updates
websites are not static
and even if someone pays the hosting bill
based on random factors we know nothing about
where X is a random number
FE will be kept running for X period more
maintenance mode means "no more money to pay developers"
it is time to exit foundation

Yep, that's basically where we're at and @[intrepid] has shared some great information about how to manage Foundation mints, but the main thing is delisting anything you have there now, while the frontend still works.
i think it is fair to consider that Foundation is gone

Yeah, been a lot of discussion in the photography community around Foundation's "maintenance status" and the fact that Hugo's offer on a piece of art withdrew the ETH from his wallet, without making the offer on the piece. Foundation's response was that they are "working on" an announcement.
just constant shut down, acquihired, etc, etc
in web3 firm seed/series A rounds
but like we did some minor investing
