not only "saves gas" and "saves everyone tons of time"
big success
subscriptions was a huge unlock
the algorithmic edition size will take care of this. we have learned a lot since then
I’ve run hypotheticals by you in the past and you landed in favor of new entrants…
"why are you saving all the cards for your rich collector friends. I thought you believed in the people and CC0"
oh this is definitely going to happen at some point this year
oh this is definitely going to happen at some point this year
I'm going to lose it if people arrive and complain they can't get on the AL when it's a easy 1x if they want to join and get a meme card they should buy the cheapest card on OS
of course
I think that collectors who have been active since the beginning should have priority over newcomers. There's no point in beating around the bush — not everyone will be able to mint at the price of 0.065 ETH, so those who have always believed in the project and haven't sold should be rewarded.
foiled again
i'm not going anywhere, you know that
oh yes, everyone is in a good mood. I was just talking about you 😘
wait morale is good isn't it?
i asked sama to brick your account ser until morale improves
i tried to put one of my photos into 4o to make into a ghibli version and it said NO

yes
Shifted some cards from hot to cold wallet, does the process still stop your heart or is it just me? 😅
P.s if you have some grails in cold make sure to transfer em, good security practice be our motto as well so don't procrastinate on this one 🙏🏾
can you tell us specific model / OS
App still crashes every time I try to open a notification on mobile. I dont know if it is just me
a large application is: well, a lot of things
a medium application is: "pick next week's Meme Card"
a small application is: "pebbles allowlist"
that is what TDH does
the basis for doing anything onchain is solving sybil resistance
superb distribution. also not an accident!
Pebbles also has very good distribution, even though it was the first on NextGen contract.
these look great - look forward to your ideas!
Hi everyone! I'm a digital artist and landscape photographer. My art is a peek into my obsession with magical realism. I have spent 8 years working in London at a AAA studio as a Visual Effects artist. My process involves Photography, Digital Matte Painting & CGI. When I'm not creating, I'm collecting memes. I can't wait to share with you all what I've cooked for the Memes. What excites me the most is that it will be my first ever CC0 artwork. Great to see fellow friends here. Cheers!
the best lore. the lore is why they are hundreds of ETH each
Well said. Another example being Lost Robbies, they were given out for free at an IRL convention and a bunch of them were thrown away. Awesome lore
we are vastly better distributed than any of the generative art projects and even xcopy 1/1s I think
people think i have a lot of memes, and I do, but I only have like 2% ish of total editions, and not as many of the rarest ones. But I mean who_dis bought 15% of chromie squiggles and another collector nearly 20% of autoglyphs who saw the vision early. Goals.
every super successful project in crypto in general and NFTs in particular started off ignored - xcopy, punks, glyphs, squiggles, bayc (the original bayc) etc
correct. no concern about the wizards. it is all good. but there is generally a mispricing and there always has been with our ecosystem imho. otherside raised hundreds of millions for example. in any case, it is all good. you have to start this way, the way we are doing it for it to work in the long-run

One max mint of a memecard is like 240 mints, which is like 15.5 eth. Which is like the price of 2 mints of the wizards
i don't know if I have an AL
Has been discussed in the BSY Wave
I assume you'll be max minting your AL?
Taproot Wizards are going to sell more than $30M of NFTs in 1 day. Just noting.
yes!
wanted to make sure my big picture mental model is correct.
#2 is the hardest because it has never been done before.
decentralization of key parts has not been done before because, prior to crypto, there was no way to do it in a trustless way or capture financial benefits of the work.
NFTs create data that can’t be captured with fungibles, that allow this new layer of decentralized permissionless trust to form.
Am I close?
correct, they all work together
If I understand your thoughts here correctly you don't think there is any point to any single one of those areas, without all the other ones
In other words there are better ways to get 1, 3, 4 without 2, but without 2 the whole thing is a waste of time - and the same goes for all the other areas
one thing at a time. we can't do both simultaneously! let's get our feet wet with The Memes and then Stream. I was previously going to go the other way around (Stream first) but I think it is better to focus on The Memes since it has existing "power"
sorry to ask 'wen' -- but any update on Stream timeline?
one of the things ive discussed with artists im onboarding to memes is 'what happens if my card never gets picked for memes' and it might be nice if i could point to Stream as an alternative there. keep the art in the 6529 ecosystem
(presumably if im onboarding them id be interested in collecting the piece as a 1/1 and potentially some of the other folks here as well)
Stream feels like a complimentary piece, nice alternative as opposed to just telling the artist to mint on manifold if the art doesnt get selected for memes
Yes the fundamentals are all there on #1,#3,#4. they need polish. but also if one looks back to where things started (Google Form!) to where we are now, the trendline is amazing.
#2 is actually the hardest, even though it is the least visible
number 2 less so for me. but the other 3 are all top of mind for me. they're all 'there' currently, its all doable. just not as polished and 'rehearsed' as it will be after more iterations
everyone will mint on The Memes at the time they deserve :punkshake:
artists will seize the opportunity at their own pace, just like every other group!
exactly!
You are doing it right sir. Reminds me of this meme, which you are doing the opposite of haha
I think there are four areas of improvement that we (the global we) need to clear in the next few months:
1. Social -> seeing the TDH decision-making in practice (this swill start in days)
2. Technical -> decentralize the key parts, audit the heck out of them, stress test them, etc
3. UX -> You come to web, mobile, core it is easy to use, it is fast, it is legible to new people
4. Communication -> how can you explain it in 1 sentence, 1 paragraph, 1 page, 1 hour, 1 day
yes. you are telling me? I have been waiting for several years lol. but I want to have our act together when I do that. everything working, hardened, tested, optimized etc at the technical and social (all of us) and communication and decentralization layer. activity and our maturity (technical and social) are proceeding at the right pace vs each other IMHO.
at this stage, we would not be ready for 10,000 people to show up in any case. but I think this year we will be
Gonna be exciting when the moment comes when you feel comfortable and ready to start dropping information bombs about Brain
nobody. still testnet basically
There’s still nobody here. All this action lately and Vantekai said there are like 10 new entrants lol, that’s insane
yup
An actual drop in the bucket compared to the money sloshing around in the space. Risk:reward ratio is extremely skewed positively for success here
sweet

nice!

Sharing some art seen at Art Basel HK earlier today
can't even spell!
:punkshake:
@[DarrenSRS] put the wrong rep category. he will fix
same here
"they" are real morons!
been keeping tabs, second time they changed the req rep cat, last was TheMemesNomination, which was shortened to MemesNominee and then a group was made for MemeNominees. given the case-sensitivity alone, it's bound to be confusiong
yup, @[DarrenSRS] is fixing
There is probably a mistake, the rep should be MemesNominee, all the other nominees have it so far. Isn't?
you can nominate as many people as you like
Is this still right? You can only nominate 2 people when one gets picked you can nominate someone else.
