minting has finally been paused. big thank you to all who supported ♥️
@neynar I've got a a couple of questions for you, kindly "show" in the comments section.
the grok incident is a good reminder that any system can be exploited (esp. those built by AI). glad to see that 80% of funds were recovered.
MISSION CONTROL TO GROUND UNITS: ARB ASTRONAUTS [███████░░░] 70% trajectory locked...... (free mint, only gas)
I am once again reminding anyone on this app who’s likely trading memes and the like for the first time and thinks they know what they’re doing. You most certainly don't. Don’t get wrecked, fam 💜
ARBNAUTS TO MISSION CONTROL: the view really is beautiful from up here. 🌕 ⋆ ─── MINT INFO ─── ⋆ i recently pushed my first mini app on here, and though it didn't get much traction, the fact that i was able to get it off the ground (and also get some food reviews on it) really made me glad. after I was done shipping it, i began looking for other projects i could build, and ended up with the idea of an NFT minting app. for a while, after mapping out the workflow and logic for the app, i was stuck on what to use for the image. not long after though, the Artemis II expedition came to mind, and i thought — why not create something based on astronauts in space? and voila - arb astronauts was birthed (as a fun imitation of the expedition, you can see that the astronauts have the Farcaster logo on their shoulders.) so yeah, it's a free mint - no hidden fees at all. you just pay your gas and you're good to go. before I forget, i should add that I also made it possible for you to gift NFTs to your friends. in the "suggested" tab, every user has 3 allowances - you can gift a free Arb Astronaut to a friend, gas only. so yeah, i think that covers it! ◈ if you notice any bugs or issues, kindly share them below. ◈ thank you. tagging miniapp gigachads for their review on the app: @rish https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/0OxRhrKVLRmK/arb-astronauts @kuusho @anaroth @itsbasil @linda @pichi @limone.eth
there are a couple of onchain streaming platforms where the idea has been that streamers are able to be supported by their fans regardless of their geographical locations. a pretty cool idea given how payments on trad platforms work, but horrible execution by most of them so far why do i say so? well it has to do with the fact that every one of them requires you to launch a token via which fans can support you. the problem with this is that creators end up stuck with multiple coins or even have to create a coin; which is something that not most people are comfortable with. e.g. if you've got a coin on zora, and decide to go to pump for fun to stream, you're going to have to create a coin on the platform; which for many isn't something they like @dendotshow is an onchain platform, built on base, that solves this problem by allowing creators to run shows backed by an already existing token; this means that a creator could launch a stream and use an already existing token for their fans to support with e.g. dave has a token $dave on zora, instead of creating another for dendotshow, he can just use the same $dave as his support token on @dendotshow in fact if he's not comfortable launching one, he can use $usdc -- they also incorporated an interesting mechanism, and that is "rewards for clippers" if you've been on social media for a while, then you'd know that something that's been all the rage is clipping.. where people take and edit 15–60 second highlights of a show for others to see. the problem here is that while the creator gets attention and more $ support, the clippers oftentimes don't earn a thing, until they are either reached out to by the creator or others interested in their work. on @den, a tip made by a viewer on a clip they came across is split between the clipper and the creator; ensuring that an amount of revenue is split between both parties (to clip a creator's stream, a clipper must purchase a fan pass -- a set amount of support tokens e.g. could be $50 USDC or 250,000 $dave) so your own community becomes your distribution engine — and they’re actually incentivized to be good at it. --- I originally wrote on @dendotshow for a bounty, but man I really love what's being built primarily for one thing; they're reducing the number of tokens that creators have to manage. really cool & you should def check them out.
