I am of a different view that before this can happen and not lead to a long-term deterioration of the memes, we have to established that the decentralized curation keeps artistic standards high
there has been a lot of "hey, cool, we are getting community members on the memes and doing some insider stuff" and ok fine, it was basically ok, but this one set off some alarm bells for me because I do not think it is judgmental - I don't think anyone would have told me and @[6529er] good job if we curated that card in (as it is) in any prior season

The system of RDH voting with different people having different power will get through cards that has very different values and qualities. Art has do far being a very high bar and most of us have resonated with that and that's why we joined. But now that might not even play any part in some things going through. Some will game it, some will have enough social capital to get through etc.
so my view is that:
1/ the idea conceptual is fine though I still have not understood what it is exactly
2/ the art needs work
we have the greatest typographer in the NFT space @[6529er] right here
if we like him, we should help not commit crimes in typography
is totally irrelevant to this
whether we like mintface or not
and that is ok too
and a couple got pissed off and walked away
do you know how many extremely legit artists I have said "well, not yet"
so just go rework it
if any artist pre this season had submitted this to me, I would have said:
a) 6529 passport concept is conceptually interesting
b) obviously the art is not at the standard of The Memes collection
ok this is time to have a grownup talk
i FREAKING LOVE MINTFACE which is we should help him go down in history by doing a great card

I have voted 69 on it only because I don't like the aesthetics but i do support Mintface
these are not bad, but the aesthetics of the actual card are not good

fwiw I would support Mintface but haven't voted for the card bc of the aesthetics. We could ask him to redo it but its already so high on the list I am not sure he would take it down
if we just did cute experiments
is because we focused on excellence for 2.5 years

I don't think anyone would disagree with you that artistically it doesn't fit but there has been enough portion of the network mobilized to vote for it (that's definitely an art)
what does this mean - halp

It's essentially a display of buying power through various means
Top 100 TDH Holders - Strategic
But the fact that they put their TDH on a conceptual product tell you something (either immaturity of the network or product market fit or how much relationships matter)
and I don't mean memetic vs not memetic, I mean artistically
It does not look like a meme card to me (the art, not the mechanics which I have not looked into)
and I know there is some mechanics around it which I am happy to learn more about but currently are of secondary consideration to me vs "what exactly is the art supposed be?"
sorry I have been out of touch
what is the 6529 passport supposed to be?

Gmeme everyone🙋♂️
Just came back from my trip to Dubai, and i want to properly thank everyone that supported me with their vote for my card a few weeks back.
That week kicked off with the amazing response on my card and ended with a dream come true of exhibiting my work in Art Dubai.
As a thank you to all my voters i just finished airdropping edition pieces that were featured in my exhibition at Art Dubai, so check your primary wallets for an edition called "C", "M", "Y" or "K".
Hope you enjoy and have fun with them as they're a part of a whole, and thank you again for the support, it made that whole week that much more special🫡
99.9% of NFT artists will have a better outcome here than any 1/1 or edition drop not here

Everything you say is true. They were all photographers, also from the nude sector like me. Some said that their work is not suitable as a meme card. Then I said, why don't you adapt it to how I did it? Be creative . Others are scared when they hear how much the 6529 team gets. Which is perfectly fair. I don't think they understand what it means to be part of the family. What a future the meme cards and the work of 6529 have and what it could mean in some time if you are there. It's like in the early days of BTC. Anyone who had a PC could join in, just as any creative artist can now. Only those who are involved in this and see the development so far and what can still come are convinced. What is happening here needs to be better publicized.
the last 2 months of improvements were better done at this scale
not quite yet
yup we are getting closer to something that can take real usage

Happy to hear that, I'm doing Great as well, Thanks for asking. Just getting more, and more familiar with 6529.io, it takes Time, especially with a Full Time Job, Next too Two Little Daughters, but Happy to see and track what You're-/ We're Building.
only 2 months ago consensus opinion was we could not leave discord because app/site/etc was not good enough etc
and of course it was not good enough *then* but you have to always look not just at point values but rate of change when thinking about things like this

I know we didnt set out to create a top tier social app, we just needed chat to support the decentralized decisions/voting
But this is pretty fucking legit
already happening
is what is going to happen here too

Cross sharing here, very interesting & cool from a Daemon POV;
cc0 blockchain based art, free to be manipulated (could ofc also be gated in a programmable way...).
Something like this could be cool on a public screen in NY or so.
Tagging also our TDH lock engineer in Chief @[maybe]
this is why we need to become a mechanically decentralized blockchain - @[6529er] forgot to trigger the public sale

Think @[ACtheCollector] is in this world.
@[simo] @[prxt0] very very slick sers - the new version refresh notification - not 100% sure the color looks matched (not saying it should be the same color as the rest of the app but I was not sure at first if it was real)
