Oceans of Wisdom

Question: I can envision a type of voting desired where everyone gets 1 vote instead of up to TDH. will that be a native option?

ya was thinking the same, adding a leaderboard timing the cut-off would be useful in these tight vote situations

I've noticed a couple of times now that a card that hasn't won yet already has the Outcome: 🥇 (minted on the memes) displayed...I assume this is an error or is that just displaying what will occur currently?

Well it’s accurate in 24 hours, but vote ends in 13 so really it’s some number in the middle or am I misunderstanding how the system works?

ser there you are! We need you in Surgery Room 6.9.

hahahah. I was so exited that I forgot about it

its going to be hard to get a Gradient as there are so few and most holders are high TDH holders

Why will a ton of people join in the future? Perhaps they also want to make decisions with their communities in the future without central interference

Good question! the 24 hour voting window has started so I’ll get 4 hours of the votes I have If everyone switched their votes to DF now Im pretty sure he could overtake me BUT what’s more likely is that ginger takes the spot unless those voters go to DF too

Totally agree This is a message that will need to be repeated MANY times though - maybe should even be a pop up on submissions - because voting ALWAYS feels personal, unless you really know what’s going on here

bug: the OpenSea link in user's identity page isnt working (prob related to the new OS2, once you enable it) Example: https://6529.io/iuri/identity the OS icon links to: https://opensea.io/accounts/0xe4c6c46645988bbafd8ef6b4d1b60d969cc857c3 but you get a "page not found" solution: remove the /accounts this works: https://opensea.io/0xe4c6c46645988bbafd8ef6b4d1b60d969cc857c3

This weekend’s activity 

Public invitation. https://x.com/Tharwiiin/status/1908789014003408901?t=Dge50ELoflYeUROytdQnHw&s=19

@[punk6529] this is random, but have you looked into making 6529 hoodies at all?

Random observation/question : I wonder what the biggest correlation/overlap there is with owning Memes and owning other NFTs (PFPs in particular)? I'm guessing no one has done an onchain analysis of this (why would they? lol). Just based on anecdotal observation (based in large part on PFP usage), it's possible that mfers are at the top of that list. Nakamigos too, although they are sort of the younger sibling of mfers. Plenty of Punks too, but Punks are out of the price range of many Memes holders. And then obviously lots of art collectors of all stripes -- but those owners are spread out across plenty of different art collections. Random Sunday AM thoughts lol

hey fam it will be my honor if you like to join my wave to know more about me and my art journey https://6529.io/my-stream?wave=0f25c939-05dc-4f55-b4ac-c5ae7d7f6ce4&serialNo=63055

First Midjourney V7 tests are promising.

Great job on quickly adding "My Votes" to leaderboard. Can you add commas to TDH here 

Just posted a thread. Do check it out for ideas and execution behind the card https://x.com/rakesh_pulapa/status/1908184146435870734?s=46

The points by @[Articulate] right under last quoted post is important too, on the subject of (particularly *new*) artists' emotional safety in order to create and contribute work. As a community it will be up to us to create an environment that encourages separation of criticism from critique, and to show that we champion expression and experimentation at the same time that we believe in artists' abilities to do their best work — even in cases where they have some "woodshedding" to do to improve their skills or ability to read the room or any number of factors that can help them level up their art game. IMO we are on the right track in co-creating a cool space where votes can be withdrawn and constructive feedback levied without also making a ruthless frat party that repels the sensitive or shy creators from showing what they're workin with. More can be done in this direction: from simple encouragement by individuals to communicate "you're doing well in X but Y could use polish" ... to establishing sub-communities that can assist with Artist Development. But so far so good, also.

at that point it is a win-win-win all around for everyone

That seems like an awesome option 💛

I think the end-state (we are just not ready to support it yet technically) is that another contract (either 1/1 or edition or Stream, I need to think about it) is a great alternative outcome for the submissions Like how I could imagine this working is the following 1/ someone submits 2/ for X period (say XX days) is is exclusively for the The Memes 3/ after XX days, another button appears where people can bid/pre-bid etc that they would mint it on the other contract 4/ At any point in time, the artist can say "OK, off we go there" 5/ This to me seems like the end state because there are many pieces that I may think "not the best choice for The Memes tomorrow" but they should be minted and I and/or others might be willing to mint them There are a bunch of other details to be looked at but I think this is where we end up

So - we’re aligned This has ALSO been my constructive observation in the past, and it remains, that the ruthlessness of the process, while necessary, lacks emotional nuance for those of us who like that I’ve come around to the strong opinion that it’s the 6529 community, not punk himself, who are best placed to provide the emotional safety for artists to put their work up, watch the votes go up and then down, miss out etc The transparency is “good for humanity” but “bad for artist’s feelings” because our failures will be very public Of course this is the case with all art and etc - yes But anyway, that’s why I strongly believe in, and am trying to emulate, lifting up all the submissions with love in the chat. Because goodness knows the voting is going to be a necessary bloodbath … and I hope that lands with integrity because I have skin in the game But anyway No matter how it lands, that’s my take

I see. Can you explain more the TDH removal from votes? I am having troubles to find it in the chat above

I just wanted to share my thoughts on removing TDH from votes It is an essential part of the process and as a community we will need to come to terms with how it feels to both do it as a voter and to have it done to our submissions as an artist It’s entirely a feature and not a bug, and I say that as someone who has a lot of votes to lose! There is no shame in rotating your TDH votes between pieces For the artists - you’re never more than 48 hours away from being in the top spot It’s actually the perfect distillation of the 6529 approach: elegant, robust, meaningful, effective, efficient, thoughtful, and because of the first features, it’s also ruthless It’s a true microcosm of evolution Anyway. I stand to lose by posting this but I stand by the sentiment. It’s ok to rotate your votes - its actually essential

One thing I hope and am pretty certain was intentional, is that the memes have a much higher time frame focus and it’s so much better than the CT trenches

not withstanding yalls discussion and suggestions, it does say at the top under mint for me/mint for fren 'no spots in current phase for this address' which is because your 1 eligible spot was already AD'd to you. but i agree it could likely be more clear

it would be nice to have a quick method of resetting my TDH voting power to zero currently if i allocate TDH to several cards during voting, and then I decide I want to give it all to one card... it takes a while to go back and find each submission and change my TDH vote instead there should just be a "clear all" button that resets the TDH voting power to zero
