"6529, what if nobody bothers voting"
"6529, what if no artists submit"
I am old enough to remember, checks notes, 5 months ago
we are all taking for granted that "yup, we have a decentralized curation that works well and that someone/s might push it off track by 2%"
I think so far we are operating on the far far far far high end of incredibly good outcomes
i don't even agree there is anything suboptimal happening
And even if there is there is nothing to do about it! It will sort itself out with no top-down control. Even if the sorting out is not optimal (from an outsiders perspective)
30 people can fight it out to collect it
that ends up on stream
the rest of us are "yeah, good but not a meme card"
30 people are super pumped about whatever
and I think this becomes an easier way to express differing views
that a) don't belong in the memes IMHO, but b) would be happy to pay to collect, trigger an auction, c) would be happy to be on a 6529 network contract
but there are tons of submissions
that should stay that way for the memes
because there is a very zero-sum competition to the top spot
right now people are getting all worked up
is going to dramatically change the dynamics
Adding Stream to the mix
I also think and I cannot emphasize this enough
I don't see anything wrong with that
every system seems to naturally evolve something like "political parties" or "interest groups" due to efficiency
I think some collective work is a natural outcome
i think this is a very good idea
We have created a seperate group with 15-20m TDH with the intention of selecting the best 1-2 memes per week that sit outside the top 20 with limited visibility, and pushing them into the top 5 and letting the network decide from there
yup, @[MintFace] is right and @[hexum] is wrong on the facts on this one
@[punk6529] while you are here, can you clarify my position and the 6529 team for the rep @[hexum] placed below
found a bug somehow
interesting
what is a waste of brain cells is "what is so and so doing"
who cares
then you can find and rally TDH
which is "are we selecting the absolute best meme for tomorrow"
if you are really concerned about THE ONLY THING THAT I CARE ABOUT
but really, there is a lot of TDH out there
the selections are good
and it is working fine
so have not voted for a long time now
too much, too late, hurting artists' feelings because they lost their "place in line" as if this is star of the week in kindergarten
when I was voting in the "wrong way"
I am old enough to remember a few weeks ago
and don't forget I am still here
you can't get 50M TDH for 2 ETH sorry
come on
and people are concerned that it will be swayed for 2 fucking ETH
we have a 9 figure asset (trivially, obviously so)
and think about right now today what discussion is happening
forget for a second the network state, forget what we will be doing in Alpha Centauri in 100 years
everyone has the same incentive that The Meme cards are good
is not just "wisdom of crowds" but "alignment"
the concept at play here
and you are not going to like all their votes and all their reasons for voting and ok that is fine but the only thing to do is to vote your TDH and rally other people to do so
people are going to vote
