I listened for like an hour.

It was cool to listen to you two talk. Felt really cool to watch you both speak, Good to see the faces. Good to chat.

@midlet helped me onboard. I asked him crazy amounts of questions on discord.

I was also thinking similar thoughts Midlet, about getting whole communities on here. Actually in two different forms:

1. Onboarding whole communities - like your 3d design communities from facebook -- I was thinking how cool it would be for roleplaying groups. There are a ton of those out there as well. People who are devoted to creating super detailed audio / visual / text / archive based fictions to exchange and build with one another. I've tried to get a couple of communities onto HIVE -- it takes something that I'm not sure about in order to convince them to do that.

2. THe 1000 True Fans theory is super solid as well, and basically applies in a more small sense. So, the whole thing of a community of 30k people sort of gets dissolved. My latest rant has been that the people here need to be building their own audiences for their projects. -- Like the onboarding issue can be addressed internally, in that whole "Physician heal thyself" "solve your own problems" type thing.

If everyone in OnchainArt and Alien HIVE came up with X fans to follow their work on HIVE -- like turning their posts into projects that have small followings -- and some of those followings are brought over to HIVE -- that would be another form of onboarding, but more focused on the behaviors of the people who are already here -- instead of trying to convince external people or external communities to join / transmigrate.

Cheers kommienezuspadt -- Thanks.

I had an idea that you'd probably like -- It's pretty much similar to your proposal you mentioned about the comic project to promote HIVE.

Basically - GOLEM $GNT - is an ERC 20

And they focus on blender renders -- as a primary use case.

And there's all of this speculative money available that isn't being used for anything.

So -- you can actually take that ERC 20 token, and set up a bounty in a place like Colony.io --

So -- 100 people throw down 100 GNT -- into a crowdfunded bounty which is managed via governance by the contributors toward the fund -- within a contest.

But the contest requires a project based mentality -- so fundraising on Kickstarter, and ETH Cryptoart and HIVE project blogs. etc.

It turns the project into a contest, but also a project incubator for small scale animations.

.:.

In this way the pot for the winners is sort of self-determined, and the final result of the contest is actually that anyone who goes through and completes it actually completes an indie published small scale project.

Golem Wins - because everyone who goes through the process renders their blenders using $GNT.

GOlem Traders win - Because the Promotional tag for the shorts are for GNT, which is a form of promotion.which could translate toward hype as well as potentially sustainable adoption of Golem as a tool.

And the Animators win, because they are all trained to execute projects -- but their reward is also self-originated -- and then the whole thing turns into like a guild of animators focusing on small scale projects, leveraged in multiple economies, with aggregated audiences from these multiple projects redirecting toward GOLEM / Kickstarter / ETH / HIVE.

I imagine with that info there, you could easily translate it into HIVE.

There's nothing that says you can't pool rewards for a project like that with GNT / ETH / USD / HIVE.

Combined sources like that could create some powerful incentives for a 'shorts // blender // crypto focused film festival' type thing.

Cheers.
