the group of eligible droppees needs to be a specific group that we respect as the group. if someone wants to see that group, the answer is not "make a new group with rep=XYZ" imho but "here is the group" :)

not sure that helps either - there is going to be a certain group associated with the leaderboard wave. that is the only one that matters obviously
@[DarrenSRS] is making it because he is also going to add the existing Meme artists manually and he made it here but he put the wrong category for rep MemeNominees instead of MemeNominee and so nobody shows up in it.
he is asleep now so we will get this in the morning

you can make a group :D
what does this have to do with anything @[simo]?
https://6529.io/network/groups?group=memes
and you can share
I'll have the mega-PPT updated soon
50/50
except how we choose the cards
everything is exactly the same in SZN11
same as always
talked to a couple artists and got this question. what are the economics for the drop for the artist? what are the percentages?
@[simo] and all, I made these two Level 0 groups above. I think @[simo] you need to drop the levels wall from Brain now.

Q1 - estimated date ppt is ready to share with artists we want to onboard for a drop
In order to submit a Meme Card for decentralized voting, you have to either: a) be an existing The Memes artist or b) have received at least 50,000 of MemesNominee rep.
The purpose of this group is for artists / creators who are not already in one of those two categories to declare that they would like to submit a card so that someone or some group can rep / nominate them (if they choose to do so)

Purpose of this one is onboarding. Level 0 to view and post
welcome
And @[hexum] thank you so so much holy shit! I'm at the 50k rep requirement now! 😱😍 Seriously, tysm that's a ton of rep i'm incredibly grateful!!
we will bring it back
also, missing the dopamine hit to see if 6529 is typing hahah
whichever card is #1 on the leaderboard (based on the last 24 hours weighted average vote) at the checkpoint for the next meme card
yeah I typed it out I didnt like my burn idea as much but sent it anyways. funny how that works. if you had a project like Fake Rares that intentionally created a mechanism to create scarcity to close the collection as there are only a certain number of FAKEASF cards and when they are gone, the collection ends. i think you are clearly not solving for scarcity like Fakes. i do like the two tiers of sponsors and voters. that is cool. do you have an idea what the REP threshold will be to green light a card or is it "whatever card is #1 on the leaderboard" goes next?
The purpose of this group is to ask questions about the decentralized seasons of The Memes
nothing is late, it is all very early. there will be lots of improvements in the coming months and years.
just banging some thoughts on my keyboard. perhaps late in the game. but maybe spurs some ideas. i will be reaching out to some artists regardless.
indeed, the RP worked like this but I think it is difficult to ask people to burn a card for sponsoring in our structure. imagine someone worked hard to get a full set (or even a few cards), have a ton of TDH, this is exactly who we want / trust to recommend artists and creators.
I do not think we should force them to lose their cards in order to do this (or to have to buy more cards) - any time we impose an economic cost it will reduce marginal propensity to participate and given that the nature of online / social sites is that most people do not meaningful participate, I think we should not put any more barriers.
I do like the provenance part of the idea. I think it can apply to both the sponsors (they can can be more than 1, there could be dozens of people adding rep to the artist to nominate them) and to the voters (whoever voted the card in) could be embedded in the metadata of the card. This is requires a bit of technical work, we won't have it next week, but it is on our minds
hey @[punk6529] - just read through the google doc. 50K rep to sponsor an artist to reduce spam, etc is great idea. I would ask you to consider thinking about some burn aspect to sponsoring an artist - maybe keep 50K to nominate, but require burning of a 6529 card or burning of REP (not sure REP is ever supposed to be burned tho). for Rare Pepes, once approved the artist had to send PEPECASH to the Rare Pepe scientists where they would burn some of it. for Fake Rares, an artist would have to acquire and burn a FAKEASF card. creates a bit of an economy within the collection due deflationary aspects. many things to consider but i think this project does have the spirit of Rare Pepes in some sense. and yes you get some deflationary aspect but i think the real magic is the "sponsor" having some provenance. and you also get the ability for the artist to gift cards to the sponsor in exchange for buying and gifting the card to the artist. for example, I gifted FAKEASF to Gran Yun, Jack Kaido and Darkfarms for Fake Rares and they threw some cards back my way as a thank you. I personally enjoy the provenance of receiving those cards from the artists wallets directly to mine. A transfer of art from a certain wallet to your wallet is bit under-appreciated aspect of the blockchain rn. means a bit more than just buying on OS. so perhaps this triggers a different idea for you so thought I would mention it. 50K to weed out spam is a good idea but serves a different purpose, but if you pass on the burn idea, I do think imprinting the sponsor on the blockchain is a a good idea maybe if it just a property of the card. increases the resonance between collector/curator and artist and allows sponsors to demonstrate their curation intent and provides a boost of motivation to collectors to continue to talk to artists about the project and get them to submit.
indeed
wow szn 8, 9, 10 floor at .259!
@[DGMD]
who is meme strategy on OS? think i wanna throw them some rep.
nice thread here

exactly this.
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 :)
yup
Yeah when there were what 50 people minting some of those cards at the bottom, those people showed crazy conviction/delusion to keep minting
yup
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
yup
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
