As someone who has seen the amount of work out into this project by Rocketman, I love this idea. I do think the discussion about how to reward the team is important to have - and continue to have- but this is a great way to start.
Also to be clear, are you saying Jerk would get .75 or that he would get reimbursed for winning which at the time was unknown.
Im sorry but this make 0 sense! i dont want to be unsupportive but 0.75eth to compensate the winner of the auction to sell the NFT when the farcaster auction frame have been 0.5eth... Makes zero sense.
Altho i love Rocketman and he and the whole people involved in the project have being amazing, not even the artists get that amount in eth!
10% of the proceds for the artists that make 100% of the work that is CC0 and you suggest to transfer 0.75eth for an AI artwork (not fudding the artwork tho).
Have to say for me this is a HARD NO!!!
I appreciate the feedback and don't think that providing it is at all unsupportive. Some clarifications and thoughts:
(1) The idea here was to initiate a (somewhat cheeky) dialogue about ways to compensate and incentivise the continued involvement of core contributors to the project. From my knowledge, and for comparison, every tenth noun is held in escrow as future compensation for the nounders. As far as I can tell, all 51 of the vrbs auctioned to date have been won by and distributed to the market. This makes me wonder how the architects are incentivised to continue their involvement in growing the project. Now, perhaps the expectation is either that (1) no further work will go into operating costs / growth / continued project infrastructure or (2) all of those costs will be funded via ad hoc individual proposals (like the farcaster auction frame), in which case I definitely understand the sentiment and will happily remove the proposal. However, if either of these are not the case, there should probably be some further discussion - which this proposal was meant to spark - about how to keep architects incentivised.
(2) There seems to be some misunderstanding about the proposal itself, perhaps because I didn't make it detailed enough. The .75eth compensation is meant as a maximum compensation cap to the buyer of the vrb. There is no additional profit mechanism for either artist or buyer. For example, because the auction was won for .33eth, only .33eth+5% would be used to compensate the transfer from Jerk -> rocketman. There is no transfer of .75eth. No one profits, only the purchase cost of the buyer is covered (plus small compensation to cover gas, time, etc.).
(3) I must strongly disagree with your conclusion. Artists do create 100% of the art on the platform, but that has only been enabled by the existence of the platform itself, which has been developed and implemented by architects that, as far as I can tell, have been uncompensated for their work. Again, this is fine (kind of) assuming there is no expectation of further involvement, maintenance, or non-organic growth! But to say that artists are doing 100% of the work implicitly devalues the time, energy, and cost that has gone into developing the very platform that work relies upon.
Anyways, I appreciate the conversation! Happy to continue here or in any other forum. Ross
As they are involved in the project i feel like take part of the DAO to pay for and NFT he doesnt asked for and was made as a tribute to him (really cool) is not the best way to do it.
I've said this but i think the most cool way to do is to create a contest in case the team really want some custom vrbs like was the case for the based contest. So everyone could participate without interfering with the Art Races, also i feel that this proposal would incentivate the creation of tousands of VRBS for the team wish is may be not intended.
About the number 3:
Have never been said that im undervaluating the guys work and have to say im pretty impressed with their work, connections and time involved. If looks like that just being clear wasnt intended, what i tried to bring is that artist are a vital part of the DAO.
Anyway, just dont think is a good use of DAO's treasury, if people vote so go for itm but just had to bring this up.
And again, my english is not good as my Brazilian language so tried my best to bring my opinion without hurt anyone feeling, if was the case im sorry.
Ps.: Im building some proposals but as they are in early stages will not bring this up yet, so hope i can bring something good for the DAO and count with your comments and suggestion in a near future so we can improve it even more.
