sure but I dunno the Malaysian Ambassador in Italy does not have much to worry about I think
in non friendly country it gets quite hard... as you can't even trust local contractors to do building work.
well i think you ought to be able to delete - @[simo] have you enabled?
is it possible to delete a submission of your own? or does it have to be replaced, eg it doesnt go away unless you submit more and reach your max of 3?
life dream has come true, i have had my portrait made by bored
yes something like that
The contours of it were dropped last summer. The idea is roughly:
An epoch lasts 6 drops (2 weeks)
Once mints start becoming over subscribed for an epoch, the edition size increases by 31% of the over subscription
If mints start to drop again, they drop to match the subscription (but always stay above 300)
Obv all heavily subject to change
one use, but it also have practical uses - e.g. what we are doing with MemesNominee
so more of a tool to "correct" bad behavior, like people taking rep away as a sort of yellow card
you missed the Great Ghiblization - March 27 to March 28, 2025?
what happened i missed that
all waves or just main stage?
android or iphone?
mobile scrolling is totally broken rn for me. completely. the app is unusable. desktop is fine
just yesterday they turned the whole world pastel for example!
the japanese are EXCELLENT at soft power though

Taking Paddington on a tour of the UK and your country is, in retrospect, like "why did we not invent the wheel before today

lolol
Since 99% of country pairs have no actual beef with each other, Ambassadors all should be doing wholesome stuff like this
also @[boredsurgeon] as Ambassador of the UK, I would like to share with you that the Japanese Ambassador to the UK is currently my favorite ambassador in the world

also btw what do you mean? your card is on the leaderboard
no, it is true. we are building a completely permission protocol except we are going to code right into the protocol code "fuck with arsonic"
i just like to tease 6529 that they always censure everything from me, like my tweet post not showing :sgt_joy:
lolololololololol
seems like a waste of energy. but someone did suggest i could even make money by colluding. not sure how that is possible but hilarious conspiracy theories before we have even minted. wen collusion card?
i"n our next act, we are going rough up some nuns and 3 year old girls"
with tasers too lol
oh i understood that, it is just that police-raiding-the-Quakers is like comically bad PR
this is super politically charged and definitely don't want to bring up another controversial discussion here as it's actually about israel/palestine
btw @[boredsurgeon] as the official Ambassador of the UK, are you guys really raiding the legendarily violent, checks notes, Quakers now?

yes also true
believe it or not everyone actually likes you
yeah I think walk away from the screen helps in that situation
Sometimes it is exhausting and I guess I should just sign off rather than say fuck off
yeah, I don't know exactly, I am going to feel my way through it - it is all very emergent and fascinating to observe. I think you are broadly in the right direction. I definitely do not want overwhelm the signal of the community, I probably would intervene if I thought there was something genuinely damaging in the lead, so far what has felt interesting to me has be to use my votes in a couple of ways: to push up some cards to get some visibility and to use them as a form of like/appreciation.
at a very very broad high level so far I think the voting patterns (pre-voting ok) have been very reasonable
hey @[punk6529] while you are here. it is fair to say you will vote on some cards in a small way but wont use all your TDH (i would ok if you did btw). you going to let the kids play until someone throws poo and we approve some objectionable. so in a way you and the Museum in a certain way act as a backstop to things going wrong. and not saying you need to backstop anything. just curious.
isn't that where you saw the lights?
yes Dubai for sure, haven't been to Pudong
But I am not sure I would live there permanently
Fun to visit
Pudong and Dubai give me the same vibes
ah yeah, i am not sure it is even pretend decentralization tbh. as you say pretty and a bit eerie
was at a bar on the river there and night falls, then there is lighting on the skyscrapers...coordinated. Think Times Square except every visual sign is permission based and in lock step with each other. Beautiful yet eery.
"6529 Executive Coaching As A Service Whether You Want It Or Not"
maybe it is semantics but I disagree that you cannot discuss what you want to discuss. you can discuss it here and ignore the people that you disagree with (like I have done every day on twitter and Discord since I started 6529) or you can make a wave of like-minded people or DM/s and discuss in total peace and report back your findings to the group wave once you have had a chance to think about in peace without our annoying co-citizens bothering you.
you can of course also express your frustration but when you do it in a group wave you risk me showing up to share helpful solutions like the above to be less frustrated :)

can I not take issue with how someone engages with me and express frustration at what I’m perceiving without it being labeled as I’m bitching about being oppressed?
so I had a long chat with @[6529er] earlier in the week about this and if we should make a very brain/SZN11 appropriate SZN opener which we are obviously capable of doing. and that might be more "on theme" it is true. but we decided that the meta-optics of that in SZN11 would negate the benefit. OK, here is the community SZN and the first card, we come in heavy with a 6529er card which is almost certainly going to be selected.
We will contribute during this SZN, but not the opening week.
I honestly had similar dreams about the SZN11 first card as @[hexum]. But these are the dreams of individuals and they have little to do with the reality of decentralized curation, where artists submit and the group as a whole decides. But I think both Hexum and I are at peace with that, it's just Hexum describing his (and my) ideas of a theoretically perfect kicker card. Individual dreams don't come true, they are irrelevant from a mission perspective, and we have other awesome cards from awesome artists. I think they all mean well, and it's a bit too much emotion here. Let's just enjoy it all, it's amazing. :sunshine:
if you don't want to be interrupted, you can DM mintface
you can have whatever views you have, you are just not being oppressed, come on
i welcome views that contribute
people obviously interrupt
but i dunno this is a group chat
what you really mean is: "i want to have a public discussion with mintface in the main stage wave and I do not want anyone interrupting that discussion with their views"
my point is "I wasn't able to" is I dunno, not a thing on this platform
Speculate abour what we like brainstorm about what we might like? how are these not semantics. I just wanted to have a discussion and I feel like I wasn’t able to and I expressed frustration .
obviously if you and @[MintFace] want to have a fully uninterrupted discussion, you can DM, make another wave, etc, etc
what is possibly the big deal
other people may jump in
but you are in a group chat
of course you can speculate all you want
"we are not even allowed to speculate'
"well I am feeling as though we are not allowed to even speculate about what we might like without having to hear about it. all hail decentralization"
I am old enough to remember 3 minutes ago when you posted this
Hexum just wanted to have a discussion with mintface, brainstorming about what was most relevant. I don’t know the answers, I wanted to talk about it. RD and arsonic told me why I was wrong, I responded, you told me I am overthinking it and what the answer was and now idk what we are doing. but the idea that hexum is throwing a fit bc maybe the card he wants doesn’t win or something ain’t even close
what does this even mean
ngl visiting Shanghai for the first time shows the benefit of pretend decentralisation
"hexum thinks the opening card should be something different on a more focused theme" is not a failure of decentralization. it is Hexum's opinion which is valued, just like everyone else's opinion is valued
