I didn't do that exactly but I did mint them all at the time so there is that inherent bias. I do think when we are fully decentralized if there is a greater good for the ecosystem, such as gifting or selling a few to allow a museum to complete a set, it will be to community vote and potentially worthwhile. Unlikely to think opening them up to individual collectors makes sense though.
it presents no complex issues of "fairness"
it is simpler
it is cleaner
again not a big deal, but I think the better incentive is that people mint the new seasons

fair enough. there might be a point to be made that the network - if there is "internal" demand such that it doesn't come with monetary loss - might have an interest to incentivize contribution and hodling via some kind of gated access to whatever buying opportunity if it ever arises, just like we have for minting new cards
anyway, it is clear. 6529 Research is parked for now, until we decentralize. then we can decide as a group but I will be surprised if the group optimizes for a handful of full sets :)

Yeah when there were what 50 people minting some of those cards at the bottom, those people showed crazy conviction/delusion to keep minting

I would be against offering nice deals on historical cards
I mean all these low supply cards have gone to public mint.
However the network will decide and whatever it decides is the correct answer whatever we think personally

I agree with this. Making changes in retrospect because there is now fomo doesn't seem like the right approach. The natural rarity and edition sizes that have generated are part of the lore and culture imo
to the degree that anyone is sympathetic it is the people who minted all the cards, held all the cards, you could even imagine a metric that measures how many cards they have minted, how long they have held them and if they have a full set :gmspin:
I might want a full set of punks but I don't think punks holders are going to go out of their way to make this happen
not totally obvious why the network should take any action that it wouldn't have taken anyway to "help" them
if you imagine two categories of people:
a) people who were aware of the memes but chose not to mint their set when they could have pretty much for mint price
b) people who find us later and want a full set later
the rules for a set are very well known
I do not think the network per se should care if 5, 10, 20 more people complete a set
my gut would be:
a) use rep and votes to drive 'research'
b) i do not know if the network will ever want or need to sell but if it does it should do so IMHO because it has some good use for the money that will make the network better, not to help someone "complete their set"
yup exactly

I guess stuff like this is exactly the point isnt it? Network gets to decide in a fair, transparent way
after it is decentralized we can discuss but from where I see things today
no sales, no rep, no NIC, no voting, no nothing
in any case before it is decentralized, I am not going to do anything at all with it
not sure how much net utility there is
and you will have people who bought the low edition cards at higher prices upset
i think the beneficiaries are limited
ok we will see. i dunno

I meant for putting OG cards back into the market 'if the network decides to sell' - that could be seen as a "Remint" effectively
they are CC0. anyone can remint them :)

I think it would be interesting to open some sort of "Remint" at some point for some cards, maybe gated for metit/contribution or something... mostly because I like the wordplay Remint in the context of meme/rememe
ideally that won't be a big part of the group :6529spin:
in practice this will help (best case) like 20-30 people
"to help people make full sets"

if the network decides to sell 6529 Research cards, personally I would not think it is an important reason

It's a neat idea - that eventually when the project is fully decentralized, there will be a wallet filled with TDH (the research wallet) that the community can allocate to different things.
So for example we want to Rep an expert for a short-term project, then we can (collectively) use the Research wallet TDH instead of waiting for a whale to fund it

It makes it tough for new people to complete a full set. Interesting though!
no, used by whole network to do research

I wanted to ask about the 6529 research wallet, with some cards going above mint, will you be listing some of these cards to generate more runway for the team? e.g. 2 cards a week to not flood the listings. Or is this wallet being used for something else.

I think it will continue to be a mixture of TDH Optimisation and then a certain sub category of NFT collectors that want the most iconic/memetic cards from s1-10. Lets say 10-12 cards as status symbols. We all have lists of what we think this will be in the future 😅. Will have a look at my list from six months ago and update.
i think it is mostly out of the artist's control but also I think artists who do things and are engaged will end up with more attention on their card

How do you recommend cards that arent in the classics category to reach that same level
correct and balanced take

Still mostly the Maxis I presume but nice to see cards move from bots to Maxi hands and as always when "numbers go up" the interest spreads outside the Memes community as well or brings in people that been less active
curious how this plays out in the longrun
that so far are resolving towards the bid, not the ask
late szns that currently have massive bid / ask spreads
and now you have the low edition count
it is interesting to see how the classics continue to have reasonable bid/ask spreads

drinking coffee counts as hydration. caffeine in non liquid form is what dehydrates you
i like water, I gobble it down WHEN I REMEMBER TO POUR MYSELF A GLASS
the struggle is real (tm)
some days I remember and I am like "fuck yeah, just pouring water through the system"
Other days I am just on calls and angry cat typing all day and the end of the day I am like "wait, did I drink anything other than coffee all day?"

Yesterday a friend gave me one his seats on hospitality at Wembley
He's never been arsed when I talk about NFTs
One of his clients starts asking me about NFTs and digital art. Nearly fell off my chair
Unfortunately was far too far down the 'hospitality' train by then to answer in anyway coherently.....
we are not concerned that we won't have a card on Monday
