which is fine, it is fair, it created sufficient demand in enough people to sell out

this is why it sold out
we are not yet ready for our hollywood debut
right now we need to get out of mom's basement
we are discussing where we are going to have our double date with tom brady and giselle
this conversation is totally imaginary
my friend, anyone who has such a a great idea that will raise millions of dollars and is concerned that our edition size or 'take' rate is holding it back, obviously has literally a zillion different ways to raise money
go look at the distribution of buyers
umm...
That card sold out at 328, which capped the potential.
it is the protocol take
there is no "team" take
the bad ideas keep stacking!
Well, that was the other half of @[gpebbles] idea (and @[intrepid] raised it to), the need to cap the team's take on a card like that. Something like 10 ETH, where the rest of the funds go to the project itself.
well, they are imaginary! they are normal crypto people who have no idea who we are and how to buy a meme card and why and then normal normal people who have no idea how to use an ethereum wallet
who are these thousands of people and why did they not mint @[boredsurgeon] card?
vs them just using gofundme or kickstarter or something
we would leave a ton of money on the table for the charity
i would not even want to have a hyper powerful drop like the one you describe
as we are now
still
there is a lot of friction
is to increase the pool of buyers
the key thing we need to do to go to larger funding amounts
and is looking for us to help him do it
can't figure out how to do it by himself
not that he would really like to have an open edition
his concern is that 300 is too big
because I have had this discussion with him
of supply of any major artist
or is the absolutely tighest manager
have you noticed that beeple does open editions
do you think he would agree to that?
in the event you got beeple, do you think it is in ours or his interest to absorb the demand so full to make his a floor card too/
the only one but then what?
beeple could do several thousand, which is why we keep it to 369
then 600
then 400
then 300
then 250
is to go to 200
my sense is that the pathway to cards of 5,000
no evidence of that yet
implicit to my view is that we are not going to jump from 150 to 5,000 just because a "card is good"
Certainly a case for that in the current market, but the point is more... we already have a minimum of 310, and the balance lands in Research, but if we did have a card that had this demand, it's capped at 328 and doesn't have the ability to get there.
So I'm confused? What is the challenge if there is no cap, and the demand actually supports minting beyond 328? We still have the time as a limiting factor.
we will deal with this extremely attractive problem to have when we get there
but right now this is like worrying if Goldman Sachs will have enough zeros in their software to handle our private banking account
we will some day have that luxury problem and we will find the right solution to it
Ha ha ha... well, @[gpebbles] put it more eloquently than me yesterday, but if you're looking to fund a really big project, a Meme card cap at 328 editions isn't going to do it.
I think SZN2 would have killed any other NFT project
before we do editions of 50,000 to handle all the demand
and sell out a couple of meme cards in a row
why don't we get this super duper scientific research
or are we having delusions of grandeur
