for their primary location
we will see though once we have our blockchain if there is an even better model
my thoughts will not stop of course
IMHO the open collection is a nice symbolism, because your thoughts don't end here, you could contribute further, because we don't end here. It would probably be good to change the name to something more universal than the Twitter connection. I wouldn't mix it with Meme. It could be like a 6529 almanac/constitution.
of course everything will be known upfront. I take my own advice!
and beyond the procedurally, owning the 1/1/x on-chain generative "life is short" is a different piece of art than the 1/1000 Meme Card interactive card where you can pick which thread to read
Great idea +++
Say that up-front so the 1/1 owners aren't suprised
Then it's a great model for the 1/1 + postcards that we discussed earlier
this is a good solution I thikn
I actually think this works, it was nice talking it out loud because I think if my understanding of NextGen is correct @[000] then we can mint the existing ones now and then add the new ones as they come and once we move off twitter as primary, we lock the collection and then we have wrapped up this chapter and visually it only "takes up" one NextGen collection, it is not spamming the rest of the our contracts
and then once it is totally done, we also drop it as a meme card (the whole set of tweetstorms, do the book, etc, etc) cc @[6529er] @[MintFace]
and then we cover all bases:
1/ you want all the tweetstorms in one NFT (get the meme card)
2/ you want to be the special owner of the 1/1/X (nextgen)
3/ you want them oracle / composable onchain with other NFTs (nextgen) - once they are onchain like this, anyone can mint any collection building off them
4/ you want a free PDF with all of them? linked to #1 and #2 and in github
5/ You want to buy a physical hard copy book for $20 or whatever, go to Amazon

depending on our view of demand, etc
large-ish edition
and could make that largish edition
that has all of them
with some interactivity
we can then do a Meme Card
let's say we do nextgen
once this all happens
we could definitely do the following though
i know, I think this too tbh :)
I’m struggling to come up with the right historical example but I’m coming at it from thinking some of these tweetstorms especially are pretty formative documents for this ‘movement,’ theyre historical, and I get that they’re digital and on chain so even if one individual owns them I can read them whenever I want, but I’m also like idk shouldn’t one copy of each of them be in 6529 museum for example
until you decide to lock it
it can stay unlocked at the collection level
you can do this with NextGen
I *presume* you won't like this idea, or it's not compatible with NextGen, but one of the things I like about Manifold is the ability to batch-mint a ton of blank tokens and then update the metadata later for 1/10 the price (or less).
That's what I do when I get a bit of ETH and gas it 0.5 gwei... could be something to consider
3 contracts + gradients + meme labs is a lot to explain to people. I do not want to have to explain a 6th one that I can barely articulate to myself what it would be used for
lots of content
gradient contract is locked I think :)
you could also mint them on the Gradient contract and airdrop them to all Gradient holders 😉
only then should we start a n/n/X
etc
minting out
lots of content
once we have all those running well
N/N
1/1
1/1/X
handle all the well known cases
then Next Gen
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
