Description
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqAS9tqrJXM) Aside from being the first what will make us different from other combate web2 games is: Our Maps will be created for the community by the community. No more waiting for patches if people have a cool new idea for a map they will be able to create it within the Decentraland builder and can be additional revenue sources for the map creators or marketing opportunity if they want to make them free. 1. Our Maps will be created for the community by the community. No more waiting for patches if people have a cool new idea for a map they will be able to create it within the Decentraland builder and can be additional revenue sources for the map creators or marketing opportunity if they want to make them free [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgWs3uMg7Fw) 2. We will also have the world’s first Randomly Generated Artificial Intelligence Map creation experience feature where players can fight on an entirely different map every time. Web2 has innovated the chess pieces by allowing multiple people play with them at once we would like to innovate the chess board as well with this in Web3.  [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4ZqQcAAojs&t=) PVE Tests and Demo: [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poe_1X6emwc)  We like to create more revenue opportunities not only for the Decentraland DAO treasury but also create more opportunities for revenue income for the community as well. 1. As already mentioned we would like to give map builders the opportunity creates and give out for free as an opportunity tool for marketing example (Waifumon Map, SirDrop Map etc) or also have the ability to sell them as well. We would like to give a portion of all those sales to the Decentraland DAO as well. Please put how much you think should go back in the comments 1% to 100%! 2. Also, user interface weapons skins will also be able to be created and sold within the community as well as an additional source of revenue for them, us and the Decentraland DAO! Please put how much you think should go back in the comments 1% to 100%! Yes, I will be making a Waifumon Flame thrower that blows a blast of hearts. Weapon Skin Examples based on the Community.

Thanks bro. If I ever do a 3rd time yes, will def let you know.
I did see that it did not pass. I wanted to respond to your post. I appreciate how willingly you receive feedback. I felt I owed you my honest opinion. Keep me posted on your future proposal.
Thanks @AwedJob for all your and feedback and ideas. Don't know if you saw but this proposal already got rejected. However I still personally appreciate your efforts. Wish you much continued success and happiness in Decentraland you amazing member of this community.
[quote="AaronLeupp, post:23, topic:17291"] Yes we would like to do what Reddit did with there NFT drop [/quote] Reddit has a terms of service agreement with everyone that uses the platform. Simply being a MANA holder does not create any such agreement. While a wallet address is a public key and can be sent all manner of things just like spamming an email address, I don't like it. [quote="AaronLeupp, post:23, topic:17291"] You can reference this number on top of the opensea collections page can see right here [/quote] I also see on that same page the 0.7% unique owners number. From what I understand of this number, seven tenths of one percent of the owners of Waifumon are unique owners. From [NFT How to](https://www.startwithnfts.com/posts/how-to-check-distribution-of-an-nft-project-using-etherscan-and-opensea/): "a good standard to look at for unique wallet distribution is around 40%–50%". I can't check the holders on Etherscan because the contract address that I found for Waifumon is for "OpenStore". If I take the unique owners percentage and apply it to the owners number: 121,937 x 0.7% = 853 [quote="AaronLeupp, post:23, topic:17291"] nor do I know how to track [/quote] This is token gating and there is [code in the DCL GitHub](https://github.com/decentraland-scenes/nft-scanner-basic) that provides for this mechanic. This would be an important number to know as it provides a specific conversion rate. From the scene on GitHub: "Checks whether the player owns a token from a particular smart contract before granting them permission to enter the club." My guess is that since the Waifumons are issued using the "OpenStore" smart contract this may not be possible. Have you looked into other services like Foundation or Manifold for minting your ERC1155 tokens? I'm familiar with what a freemium is and how it works. I created a business based on this model. It's a viable model if done correctly. I suggest getting a tighter handle on the numbers. [quote="AaronLeupp, post:23, topic:17291"] Def can ask around too but Waifumon was most peoples 1st or one of the first NFTs [/quote] How many DAUs in DCL right now have a Waifumon? Who among the 853 unique owners are whales? How many are single NFT holders? How often do they visit your parcel? Don't give me a story. Give me a number or a series of numbers. I respect your hustle, consistency, tenacity, and persistence. I'd like to see some precise data before I will consider supporting this proposal in the future. I'd also prefer there to be an opt in for the air drop.
MetaVS – (PVP))(PVE)(MVAC)(MVPC) Revised pt 2 through 7 combined as requested This proposal is now in status: REJECTED. Voting Results: * Yes 35% 3,503,119 VP (110 votes) * No 65% 6,339,019 VP (128 votes)
To any one in the future reading this. Here is more mock ups we were working continuing to work on on for MetaVS Pet Club or (MVPC) or Decentraland Pet Club. We could not get this passed for obvious reasons above, but if anyone else can run with this idea in the future feel free too and let me know if I can ever help you. Thanks again everyone. https://twitter.com/AaronLeupp/status/1610044369960325120 https://twitter.com/AaronLeupp/status/1610559508778192896  
Thanks again @RobL yes I did the best I could to get the 3.5M VP you requested for you to change your 4M VP No vote to a Yes as fast as I could. As I said you have every right to make up any new requirements at any time. Nothing I can do about that. Thank you again for the opportunity and wish you good luck in the future as well.
Aaron, On 12/22, I initially voted ‘no’ on you proposal for the many reasons stated I stated above. You then provided some additional clarification. More than 11 days ago, on 12/23 you DM’d me requesting I consider changing my vote, assuring me that you had significantly more support for your proposal, however this additional support was in your words ‘hesitate to vote against a whale’. Upon reviewing the additional information you provided, I thought that perhaps my initial voting decision was a bit premature, and thought that if the community supported your idea, that maybe I should not stand in your way. And replied this:  Yesterday at 08:30 UTC, with just about 26hrs before the proposal was to end and having secured no additional support over the previous 12 days, you DM’d me to say that the significant additional support you had was still hesitate to vote against a whale, which is when I provided the message you posted above to show them. This:  3 hours later at approx. 11:30 UTC(now with less than 24hrs before your proposal was set to end), after seeing you still had not received any additional support at all, I informed you that I decided not to change my vote, because considering how close it was to the end that changing such a significant vote, absent adequate time for the community to react, was in my view simply not appropriate. You then replied and pleaded for just 4 more hours, as the people you were communicating with were in a different time zone. I then reluctantly agreed to a 02:00 UTC deadline, despite this not leaving as much time as I would have liked for the community to respond and react. 02:00 UTC came and went and you had not secure any additional support. It was not until 05:30 UTC, well after I had gone to bed (and 3.5hrs past the time you agreed to), that you Dm’d me to say you reached your goal, however had I still been awake, switching a 4mil VP vote in the middle of the night, where the entire world of DCL community members may not have had the opportunity to react and respond would not have been appropriate thing to do. IMO, your entire message above is not necessary nor appropriate. I voted ‘no’ on your proposal for good reason, which I still stand by. However, after reviewing your additional information I thought that I may have been too quick to vote, and therefore attempted to remedy this. It seems my initial instinct was in fact correct, and my only mistake was in attempting to remedying the situation with you, as it very clear to me now, that your concern all along was only for yourself and the free money you were to receive from this grant, and not the community of Decentraland, evidenced in part by your statement in your last comment above: “He may still change his vote to a Yes since we met the 3.5M VP” In your message above you also seem to want to convey that I somehow reneged on an agreement with you, however you failed to disclose the fact that it was you that had failed to secure the early support that you claimed you had, while also failing to mention the very valid reason I provided you that changing such a significant vote, absent adequate time for the community to react, was in my view simply not appropriate. Good Luck to you in the future Aaron.
Want to first thank everyone that voted! Yes we got the 3.5M VP Yes votes the 4m VP whale @RobL said would change his vote to a Yes. However during today he gave a new deadline I did not meet (not proposal deadline sooner) This is totally understandable since we all live in differnt time zones and mabye he needed to fall asleep or just needed it for whatever reasons it's his right and this totally falls on ME. I am beyond blessed at least he gave me the oppurtinity he did not have to. He may still change his vote to a Yes since we met the 3.5M VP but if he doesn't he does not owe us anything, and meant the world he gave us the chance. So if this does not pass thanks again to everyone and look forward to the future of Decentraland. 
Thanks so much @AwedJob for checking this out and giving your feedback. Yes would love to clear things up to you. 1st off Yes had to use abbreviations since we are only allowed so many word count in our proposals. In the 1st revision of this proposal I put it more in depth on my site but I was asked by everyone to take that one down and just fit it on here best I can here is that older version of more broken down. https://www.aaronleupp.com/metavs-dcl/ Yes PVP means Player VS Player. and PVE means player VS environment. MVAC is MetaVS Armory Club or Decentraland Armory Club and MVPC means MV Pet Club or Decentraland Pet Club. Those will be collections we will be creating that will be linked into Decentraland and in our MetaVS PVE and PVP games. We also have plans to link those collections into all Metaverse which is what we are planning on to do with Waifumon as well. Those collections can see above are to raise money for the Decentraland DAO and hopefully spread the word of Decentrland across Metaverses and Games as we work to link them as we are with Waifumon. [quote="AwedJob, post:22, topic:17291"] Does the above refer to your project air dropping nearly 2 million unsolicited NFTs to wallets? I never like blind drops to my wallets and I always view them with suspicion. [/quote] Yes we would like to do what Reddit did with there NFT drop as well to all its users can read more about that here https://www.investorsobserver.com/news/featured/reddit-avatars-take-nft-world-by-storm-onboard-millions-to-web-3 it disrupted the space by providing utility to all its users which is what we want to do to all $MANA holders. Working titles are Decentraland Dino and Decentraland DAO or Dagger will be linked wearables dropped to each $MANA holder they can equip in Decentraland and in MetaVS game within Decentraland if thsi passes. This is similar to what we are working to do with $APECOIN holders as well since the idea was methods on how to increase holders of the coins. As the news gets out this will increase incentive to people to be new owners of the coin to be one of the first 420,000 owners. [quote="AwedJob, post:22, topic:17291"] are you making 3D models or by “molds” will you be creating physical 3D items? [/quote] Yes correct since these will be linked in Decentraland and hopefully also MetaVS game within Decentraland they will be 3D molds linked to the NFT so you can see on your character. I believe you know what wearables are. The term "linked" means the NFT is linked to a Decentraland Wearable just ilke your reference to Woodies. [quote="AwedJob, post:22, topic:17291"] I presume this is over 100k wallets. Are you able to confirm these numbers are individual people? How many of these people have come to Decentraland? Do you have any way of logging the wallet addresses accessing your parcel for the parkour? [/quote] Yes correct. You can reference this number on top of the opensea collections page can see right here. https://opensea.io/collection/polygonpresalewaifumon  I have been blessed to grow this amount of owners for tons of differnt methods like events in Decentraland, Collabs with other NFT collections and one of our biggest methods of Daily Waifumon NFT give aways on all social media platofrms, Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter been doing for years. Also weekly streams can also be seen here   Even the last stream you can see posted here http://www.aaronleupp.com/weekly-waifumon-metaverse-race-courses-in-decentraland/ You can see several outside viewers of mine from differnt platforms first making fun of us playing Decentraland and talkin about Waifumon asking me if "we ever had a gf" to make fun of us and we joke back with them and they end up becomign friends as well as one doing Decentraland parkour for the first time and us showing them how to do it. Literally been onboarding people into Decentralnd for years now and even growing bigger since I have been also now making daily Lottery give away videos (not NFT or Metaverse related) which has been exposing us to new fans that we can convert into Decentraland as well. Sorry I do not have an exact number however you can see a majority of our thousands of Waifumon are based on people or things in Decentraland and we have given them NFTs so if we are giving people free NFTs based on Decentraland and talking about almost daily on twitter as well as streamingly weekly about it and they still don't come I do not more I can do lol nor do I know how to track. However these are the same methods I used with my clients Uber, Lyft DoorDash Drizly, Saucey, Postmates, Airbnb and more and they had the data tracking tech to show we were bringing them millions of new users. Can learn more about that here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLQX9k2xADI I and our site here https://promoaffiliates.com/ This we call the freemium effect. Give people first ride for free then they become on going customers. Give people first Waifumon for free then they become customers. Give people Decetnraland linked Wearable for Free MVAC and MVPC they become on going players and customers. Yes not all convert but based on all marketing methods have done the past 10 years with all my clients I have found it to be the most effective. Def can ask around too but Waifumon was most peoples 1st or one of the first NFTs through this process heres some examples can hear here 3:01:20: https://twitter.com/CanessaDCL/status/1608228029284888576 and hope to continue to do this with not only Waifumon but also now with MVAC and MVPC Also would love to provide an alternative place for those new users to stay thus the MetaVS PVP/PVE based on the data of the most played games in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-played_video_games_by_player_count [quote="AwedJob, post:22, topic:17291"] What do you plan to do to achieve a similar success? [/quote] Yes totally agree looove Woodies leading the way sine even through our Waifumon Gen-2 proposal that just passed was very hard to discribe to people what linked wearables even are. Had spent weeks describing to people what they are in DMs and in twitter spaces can see my vision on them on this twitter space again 3:09:50 https://twitter.com/CanessaDCL/status/1608228029284888576 Long story short I have spent over 6 months DMing, emailing, talking to on the phone and pitching the top 15 NFT collections in the world to become linked wearables in Decentraland. They are all somewhat interested but not enough to even dedicate a couple seconds to sign an agreement for us to linked there NFTs in Decentraland as @yemel requested to me in my last proposal on it. So that is why I would like us to prove to the concept for them with MVAC and MVPC since I also already going to do with Waifumon Gen-2. My opinion it is the future of NFTs one of the founders of ETH did it in the first place becuase World of Warcraft item can read about that here: https://www.polygon.com/22709126/ethereum-creator-world-of-warcraft-nerf-nft-vitalik-buterin Buyers of 10,000 to 20,000 collections usually like to buy based on established IP in the space or related to established IP in the space and I don't know one better then Decentraland. Why would love to make the weapons based on Decentraland and pets based on decentraland. That way when i work on the logistics of also linking Waifumon gen-2 in Sandbox and Otherside and all other future Metaverses and Games I would love to do the same with MVAC and MVPC. We can prove the concept ourselves or go out tryin lol. So yes I can and will never garentee anything will sell out or even sell I would be insane but can only list the efforts I and my team will do but can only show you through the proof of what I been already doin. Also if you are ever free anytime this week can jump on voice chat through discord and show you on toours what we wrokin on in Decentraland if ever free to go more in depth on any questions you have. And if not all is good was worth on my end to give as much info I have may have missed to hopes turn your NO to a YES and if still not thanks again for the oppurtinity!
Vote: NO I simply do not understand this proposal. I only knew what PVP meant. I had to look up all the other acronyms and I can't find mentions for MVAC and MVPC. I watched your demo videos and I can see parkour courses and the first person shooter game at Sir Drop Bear's place. Is this going to be a first person shooter? I appreciate you including a budget breakdown in the comments but it does not provide me with enough information. You have items listed with a dollar amount but it does contain salient details. I assume the figures are salaries for developers? What's the hourly rate for development and how many hours do you anticipate each part of the project requiring? [quote="AaronLeupp, post:18, topic:17291"] Scrapping All 420,000 Wallet #s of mana coin holders, and air dropping these NFTs to all 1,640,000 + 40,000 people [/quote] Does the above refer to your project air dropping nearly 2 million unsolicited NFTs to wallets? I never like blind drops to my wallets and I always view them with suspicion. [quote="AaronLeupp, post:18, topic:17291"] 3D molds NFTs [/quote] are you making 3D models or by "molds" will you be creating physical 3D items? [quote="AaronLeupp, post:18, topic:17291"] we have grown to over 100,000 owners [/quote] I presume this is over 100k wallets. Are you able to confirm these numbers are individual people? How many of these people have come to Decentraland? Do you have any way of logging the wallet addresses accessing your parcel for the parkour? [quote="dao, post:1, topic:17291"] If 10,000 ETH collection sells out $690,000 back to the DAO [/quote] This is a forward thinking part of your proposal. Are these Profile Picture or PFP NFTs? Looking at the Woodies generative PFP NFT project, they have nearly 10k items with almost 4k owners, a current floor price of about $50. What do you plan to do to achieve a similar success? https://opensea.io/collection/woodies-generative
haha was an odd thing to joke about but, yes thanks Tobik talked with you for over an hour on voice chat, and I appreciate you doing the best you can proving your innocents. I have no evidence it was not you still but still Incentet until proven guilty and you have been great contributor to Decentraland so wish only continued success on what you do. Since you have I have always admired your drive and efforts for our community.Thank you.
Hey, guys, I've talked with Aaron on Discord and I clarified that I was joking in my DMs about the bots (I didn't create them, to be clear). I don't know who is creating those bots and hope Aaron can find out the person. Sorry for the confusion.
Also want to clear up if there is any confusion why this proposal has now over I believe 50+ fake No votes on it I had several suspects but now I believe this is the one based on this evidence. I hope I am wrong because I actually like him: 
Thanks so much bro for your concerns and feedback since it gives us opportunity to clarify and pivot what we need to pivot to get your vote to turn to a Yes or at least try our best way we can make what we are pitching more what you are looking for to continue to help Decentraland's community. I have already answered most of these questions and will re-answer them here publicly again. I also been working all night on one some of these answers in hopes it is what you are looking for too. Thank you. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] Out of the 18 or so current active grant proposals, 6 of them are yours that represent $600k in total grant requests for which is essentially the same idea. [/quote] Again, just in case there is any confusion WE ARE NOT asking for $600k. Yes on pt1 and it passed but most everyone told me that voted Yes on pt 1 would also vote Yes on pt 2 through 7 if I put them all on one proposal instead of separate. Which is what we are doing here. It is all on one $120k proposal now. The reason why we first broke it into parts was we wanted to give the community a oppurtinity to pick what portions based on features which would result in $60 to $360k not $600k. I explained to you already I do not delete proposals because I believe in Long term DAOs are the future and want people to not only learn what works but also what fails. that way people can learn from my mistakes as well. You can see i have dozens of failed proposals (not just grant) and i do not delete because I want people to learn form my mistakes even if they come across as cringe lol I have offered you the solution of me commenting on all those proposals to let the public know something they already know which is we are no longer going for those campaigns but you have not responded. So instead out of good faith I going against my rule and I deleted those proposals to hopefully eliminate any confusion. I hope this helps. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] You stated that you have condensed your idea into 1 proposal but have refused to remove the remaining 5 proposals. [/quote] Again I just deleted them. I hope it helps. Thank you. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] You have already received a $60k grant from the DAO in May of 2022, and now it seems you are back asking for $600k. [/quote] Again, WE ARE NOT asking for $600k but I think you understand that by now by reading above and our DMs and two yes the $60k grant has been a massive success and we have reported all data to the grant squad. Also would love to share some highlights here in hope it helps but to sum it up we have created a massive funnel to bring new users and eyeballs daily to Decentraland and has been tons of fun. pt. 1 We have continued to do our daily Lotto Vids and Daily Waifumon NFT give aways on Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, and Youtube which has brought hundreds of thousands of views, engagement to people in and outside of Decentraland and best part is majority of the Waifumon have been even based on Decentraland community leaders and events. Here are some examples can be seen here.  Can see we also have some of the highest forums of engagement in Decentraland community as well and has been super organic since Wafiumon even started out as a parody fan art project based on things I saw in Decentraland Years ago and since then we have grown to over 100,000 owners! pt. 2 Our weekly new Waifumon race courses and live streams have funneled those new all those people that came for the daily lotto and waifumon give aways into our weekly live streams of us in Decentraland competing and watching all members of the community completing the courses to win more Waifumon NFTs based on the course as well as Decentraland Wearables. The live streams can see have been a massive success and the top in terms of views and engagement across the Decentraland community.  If you have missed them you can even see them here: http://www.aaronleupp.com/weekly-waifumon-metaverse-race-courses-in-decentraland/ Best part is if you watch them even the last one is a great example of multiple people that have never even seen or tried Decentraland before checking out, joining and trying for the first time. In this last stream can even see a random viewer on youtube saying "have you ever had a gf in real life? rofl" as he watches us, and we all joke back instead of hating back and he then turns into a fan rather then continued hater. As well as multiple other people like in that stream "FEARLESS" asking us questions since he said he new to Decentraland from watching our streams and Daily Waifumon give away while in game there is hundreds of examples of that if not more. So in reality yes would say has been massively successful exposing hundreds of thousands of people to Decentraland and giving them a route to join in and check it out with our weekly events and if there is a better use of the DAO funds other then consistent growth and engagement in Decentraland then let me know since I can't think of a better use lol. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] Why you need $120k? [/quote] Above explains why we need the $120k to create the PVE, PVP, and NFT collections MVAC and MVPC. Through our ventures of exposing massive amount of new people to Decentraland day after day week after week they love doing the weekly races on and off stream as well as attend some of the community music events but they prefer to spend am majority of there time playing PVEs, MOBAS and PVP's which we can't argue with since the data speaks for itself they are the most engaged and lucrative games in the world why we would like to bring that to Decentraland as well. We forecast this as well as our MCAC and MVPC projects to raise funds for the DAO will be what Decentraland needs to make it not only the leading metaverse in the space but also one of the most engaged platforms in the gaming space as well. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] * A detailed breakdown of how this substantial amount of money will be used. [/quote] Yes! however want to make clear these are estimated costs and may change or vary. Executing hundreds of projects in the past with my Marketing Company PromoAffiliates clients (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Drizly, Saucey, Airbnb etc) as well as even the last $60k project alone anyone can tell you things change and people that commit to budgets or rate drop out or change. However just like those other projects they have all been completed successfully and we have proven our ability to pivot when needed. Generation of both 2D and 3D molds NFTs, Scrapping All 420,000 Wallet #s of mana coin holders, and air dropping these NFTs to all 1,640,000 + 40,000 people = $9,000 2D artwork for the 60,000 NFTs and the 2 1.6 Million NFTs = $19,000 3D molds for the 60,000 NFT and the 2 1.6 Million NFTs = $29,000 P2E Assets creations, User Interface Creations, Level Creation and Testing, = $10,000 Marketing 6 Months Aside from daily Decentraland Waifumon Giveaways on Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook will also be doing Community based Weapon showcases as well as weapon UI weapon displays as well as weekly livestream updates and content-based updates and engagement into Decentraland and non Decentraland Community= $9,800 Additional 3D Trailer Videos similar to the one above to showcase P2E, PVP, MVAC, MCPC = $15,000 PVP Creation Demo 1 on base level $19,000 PVP expansion including linking alternative weapons and pets within UI as well as people allowing first round of community-based levels $9,200 = $120,000 Open to all feedback and adjustments recommended if needed too. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] A monthly milestone/deliverable schedule or some other type of measurable monthly metric that the DAO can use to determine whether you qualify for the next payment. [/quote] Yes! Just like our last time we will continue to work with the Decentraland Grant Squad to audit our workflow and progress. You can even ask them last time around we were constantly ahead of schedule and have continued on without further funding since we are self sob-stainable with that venture! In case you missed the mile stones of accountability we put in the grant here they are again from above: broken down by months est we may complete faster like last time: \ 1. 2D Demos for (Metaverse) PVE, PVP, MVAC, and MVPC. 2. Finalizing all 2D assets MVAC and MVPC 3. Generation of 2D for MVAC and MVPC 4. 3D molds for MVAC, MVPC and all assets for PVE 5. Tests for PVE and launch as well as linking with linking 3D molds for MVAC and MVPC. 6. Airdropping and sales for MVPC and MCAC launch as well as prep for PVP 7. Test and launch for PVP With this as well open to all alternative pivots or adjusts you recommend we do if needed as well. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] My opinion is that grants are community funds, as such all grant requests should include how the idea being presented will benefit the entire community and provide a ROI that is at least as great as the grant being requested. [/quote] 1,000% agree why happy you see we have that same goal to not only raise more funds for the DAO then receiving but also create an additional source of income for the DAO, us and the entire community as well. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] As far as I’m aware no wearable ever created for DCL Avatars with a 10,000 mint volume have ever sold anywhere near $69, even in the market peak, so $690k returned to the DAO from these NFT sales/resales are highly unlikely. [/quote] Yes! That is a great question. With over the years I have learned from gaining over 100,000+ owners with our Waifumon collection there are two types of buyers markets. 1. high ticket Small group big spenders to resell market and 2. The everyman can afford market. As of now Waifumon, Axie Infinity, ZeD Run, Reddit, Decentraland and Sandbox has appealed and had high success to with two because they have the low ticket entry fees and bigger quantity. 1. Wants to only focus on competing against the small amount but also only likes to try out proven concepts when it comes to recognizable IP. This proposal is a win win for all those markets and finally introduces 1. market as well with our 10,000 collections we will launch with Decentraland. The best part is the utility of being able to link the NFTs in game will during launch will also be a massive innovative utility that has never been done before we plan to also do with Waifumon Gen-2 that already passed. Don't know how many successful 10,000 to 20,000 ETH collection launches you been apart of but if you have you will notice they are driven a ton by discord launch date. This will not only have that effect but can happen as well in Decentraland as people get to experience the 3D linked utility of there NFT never been done before. So the answer to your question is Yes I already am doing this myslef with Waifumon Gen-2 which you can see already passed. However I would love for this to also happen for Decentraland since I owe everything to decentraland its where I got my start and I am forever greatful and love for what it stands for and B. Decentralands IP I forcast will be that last assurance the 1. demographic will love to give it a shot. Since I too agree a 10,000 to 20,000 collection has never been done before and based on all previously successful NFT launches would be very excited to do this as well under the Decentraland partnership, IP and name! Can I guarantee we will sell out and make $690,000 from each collection 100% obviously no but with these data points above it is 100% worth mine and my personal team to try since would love to raise this money for Decentraland or at least go out trying lol. [quote="RobL, post:17, topic:17291"] How many grants are you going to ask for? [/quote] I think you get it by now it's only this grant the others have been removed upon your request. So in conclusion want to thank you again hopefully we have not only clarified that we are only asking for 1 grant not 6 and given you the answers you requested on all the other questions. Again feel free to give me any feedback on what you would like pivoted or changed if anything for your YES vote and if not thank you for the oppurtinity with your feedback. As you can see our intention is to help continue to grow Decentraland why we have dedicated the past several years to it as can see based on our examples and data above and we look forward to doing anything we can to do that and feedback helps us a ton to pivot our efforts in the right direction. Thank you so much!
Hi Aaron, No need to dox me because I will openly say that I am the 4mil VP whale that voted ‘no’ on this proposal. As I explained in DM, here are the primary reasons I voted ‘no’ on your proposal. 1. Out of the 18 or so current active grant proposals, 6 of them are yours that represent $600k in total grant requests for which is essentially the same idea. 2. You stated that you have condensed your idea into 1 proposal but have refused to remove the remaining 5 proposals. 3. You have already received a $60k grant from the DAO in May of 2022, and now it seems you are back asking for $600k. Here is the link to your approved $60k grant https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=7431b280-c69a-11ec-90c9-11bf3c6f4ca1 1. You did not mention the fact that you have already received a grant from the DAO 2. Since you have already received $60k can you explain in detail how Decentraland has received $60k of value back. Can supply supporting data of your past success? This specific grant request (only 1 of 6 you have active) is for $120k that is paid over 6mo with a 1mo cliff. You did not include in your proposal a comprehensive explanation of: 1. Why you need $120k? 2. A detailed breakdown of how this substantial amount of money will be used. 3. A monthly milestone/deliverable schedule or some other type of measurable monthly metric that the DAO can use to determine whether you qualify for the next payment. My opinion is that grants are community funds, as such all grant requests should include how the idea being presented will benefit the entire community and provide a ROI that is at least as great as the grant being requested. You state that you intend to create 10,000 Eth based NFTs wearables and sell them for $69each with the proceeds going back to the DAO. And 20,000 Polygon wearable NFTs that you intend to give away free, and another 420,000 Polygon wearable NFTs that you also intend to give away. My concerns I have regarding on this: 1. As far as I’m aware no wearable ever created for DCL Avatars with a 10,000 mint volume have ever sold anywhere near $69, even in the market peak, so $690k returned to the DAO from these NFT sales/resales are highly unlikely. 2. If you are so confident that your NFTs can generate $690k or more worth of revenue, then why do you need a grant at all? Why not just sell them yourself? How many grants are you going to ask for? You are requesting $600k total across all your current grant proposals for what is basically the same idea. How much of your own capital are you contributing, if any? You received $60k over the past 6mo from the DAO. You no sooner received your last grant payment and you’re back asking for more. At what point do you see yourself becoming self-sufficient, or is it your intent to continuing along being supported by multiple DAO grants? For the reasons above I have voted ‘no’.
Thank you all almost 100 of you voted so far and don't worry we are in talks with the 4 Million VP whale that voted no on this and asking, and working with them on what we can pivot or clarify to get them to change to a YES. We will not dox them since we respect everyones privacy and they have a right to that. But fingers crossed will have an update on that soon!  Can click here to see bigger:  Also hahah love how 28 of the 39 No votes all look exact the same and have the same beard lol. Love how a couple people were accusing us of making fake accounts to vote on our proposals, and after we proved them wrong, that exact tactic is now being used against us at a massive scale hahaha. Of course those same couple accusers will now probably stay silent about it because it's not fun to help work and accuse things that are harmful to the DAO process its only fun to hate on the guy and the community that been spending years growing the Decentraland community and giving out Waifu jpgs right?? hahah All I can say to if it is one person spending a lot of time making massive fake accounts to vote no on this is I love your drive and if you would love to instead hit me up on how we can use that same input to help grow Decentraland together I down.
