then Stream
we need to first manage to learn how to use The Memes decentralized
x/x/X is what you are saying. maybe it will come up but I do not think we have capacity to deal with now
Will this question come up again in the future? “editions could make sense but memes contract doesn’t really make sense”
i guess it could be like Gradients, but there is a lot of highly relevant, highly customized tech in NextGen like artist signing, onchain data, selling mechanics. it is tested, it works, why not just make it a NextGen collection as opposed to another standalone contract
Maybe visually they could be like a separate colllection, similar to Gradients? with similar jpegs but different text in the metadata
so I think the options then become:
1/ Next Gen collection (a group of related 1/1s, specifically a 1/1/x) which seems like exactly what the tweet storms are
2/ Stream: which is 1/1 and basically you are "forcing the 1/1/x" which you have natively in NextGen so it is like NextGen but worse
3/ The Memes where I think it would be spamming The Memes
4/ A new personal contract of my own (this makes no sense, why would I not use the 6529 network contracts)
5/ A new 6529 editions contract (why? what will it do that the memes do not?)
So when i go through all of that logic, I end up with #1
(and clearly the market clearing price is not $0)
I just want them on chain
i actually don't care if the market clearing price is $0
I do not mind if the market clearing price for Life is Short is X and On Taxis is 1/20th X
in fact, I want to get them all onchain
like just Life is Short but not Freedom To Transact? What about The Institutions are Coming? etc
it would look weird
I do not think it is correct or appropriate for me to spam The Memes with dozens of tweetstorm threads
but the question is "what edition contract would they be on"
well, I thought of this
seems odd
if each tweet is a separate token, it is going to get split up, out of order, impossible to pull together
i think so?
I feel like this is a dumb question but — each tweetstorm is a 1/1? So eg one person will own life is short?
I think we should vote for a beeple x xcopy x cherniak x tyler hobbs collab and not accept anything less than that :)
I'm voting for @beeple
open to views and discussion
and it seems reasonable that they end up on NextGen as opposed to some random contract
in any case, I will feel much more comfortable once they are on-chain and not subject to Elon's whims
given they are priced out of "Life is short"
and a smaller but non-zero number of people would still want to own "on taxis"
or "freedom to transact"
a lot of people would want to own "life is short"
i think it will work as a collection
and that seems like a really dumb way to waste $xxx,xxx
because right now we can do it for x,xxx dollars I think and with 100 gwei gas it is $xxx,xxx I think
but it has been a mild stressor on my mind for the last year +
it is not the most important thing we need to do
so I think what might make sense is something like this:
- once we know we are done with twitter first (blockchain running live and new posts are by default decentralized)
- then combination
- NextGen collection
- Book (physical)
- Book PDF (free)
- And we wrap up the centralized era of the tweet storms neatly and smoothly, get them into the permanent record of Ethereum and be done
- Of course then I get stressed because it is a lot of data and at 100 gwei gas it is unaffordable but at 0.5 gwei gas it is free ninety nine
- So I dunno maybe it is a good idea to mint them now and keep the collection open to add the additional ones
not "oh, also here are 20 more"
because I want to know I have a natural ending point
i have harassed @[MintFace] twice to make them into book form (we have them that way) but never proceeded
new ones are natively decentralized to begin with
and then from then on after that is done
2021-2025 or something
so the collection can be "The Tweetstorms"
like something something something something "when the first place the new threads go is on our decentralized chain"
my difficulty in this is figuring out when to make the cutoff
i think that is more sensible than each tweet as a token bc it is going to get out of hand that way
maybe each thread as a token, some type of visual display of them and the actual text written on chain
obviously "twitter" is not the place for them to permanently be
it would be a good opportunity to make them permanent
gas is super cheap right now
yes, I think maybe as a nextgen so they can be composable?
Threads are gold, they belong on chain
the really funny part is someone in a year after it is all live goes back and reads all of the 140+ threads, it is all there conceptually ex the implementation details
it’s fun now because I can see clearly where you were articulating parts of the vision even back then
I think
