Meta #36 - State of Raids
Meta #36 - State of Raids
Y U reading the subtitle? Just open the damn letter.
⛓️ Chainlog 📜
Thought it’d be good to give y’all a longer rundown of all the progress rather than just these bullet points. So here’s just a few:
Seeds pump even harder, almost quadrupling since the last newsletter.
MyMeta makes good progress towards full realization.
The effect of The Purge continues: the number of active players increases, while the total number of players actually decreases. 😱
🤔 Why are Seeds Awesome?
One thing that’s awesome about Seeds is that they’re tokens for past contributions, not promises of future contributions.
This flips the ICO model on its head, by delivering first & asking for money later.
It also helps explain why Seed holders are so unwilling to dump their tokens and the price remains somewhat stable even after a 5x increase.
😬 What Frustrates Peth?
This whole explosion of activity that is currently happening inside MetaGame due to The Purge + The Pump is making it hard for me to ship.
Previously:
Me after waking up: I’ll just reply to these few DMs and the few messages on our discord, then start working.
Now:
Me after waking up: Alright, just gonna reply to these messages then get to work.
Me 3 hours later: Damn, where are all these messages coming from? 😑
And I don’t even check the discord channels in the morning anymore.
Whereas previously, I was able to just click those few channels and read everything people talked about over the night, in 2 minutes - now, just looking at all those lit up channels makes me kind of anxious 🤣
Anyhow, enough bitchin’,
🗺️ State of Raids
And onto the main course!
🎎 MyMeta
This is still the most important raid. We’ve recently received a small grant from the MetaCartel & have been pushing out updates. The latest version is live here.
Discounting the fact that some of these things are still hardcoded, the live version is almost as good as the design demo we previewed 2 weeks ago.
We had a live raid yesterday; introducing new members to the codebase and the old ones to the latest changes, brainstorming & co-hacking.
So yeah, the raid has been progressing pretty good & the team has been growing. The basics are pretty much done and the design & the Discord bot we’ll use for the guild pages are both coming along nicely.
🧠 MetaLibrary
Its almost time to rebrand the wiki to the MetaLibrary - but not quite yet. To really make it into a MetaLibrary, we’ll need at least those “House of Ethereum”, “House of dApps”, “House of Tokens” & “House of Defiance” posts.
Why aren’t those new posts there already?
Well, because I have been revamping all the existing posts, writing the missing intro/onboarding pieces, and actually, spending ever more time inside DMs & chat channels responding to people - which is kind of becoming my frustration, as already stated above. 😅
🌱 Seed Market 💸
I think its safe to say MetaGame’s liquidity problem has successfully been dealt with.
Seed price: ~$43
Seed marketcap: ~$600k
In the liquidity pool: ~$74k
Treasury funds used? ~$2/30k
Frankly, the Seed market has been blowing up for the past few days. Though -50% from the all time high of over $80, the Seed price seems to have somewhat stabilized at ~$40, which is still more than 4x just a week ago.
If you’ve been useful around MetaGame, you likely have a decent sum now 🙃
📻 MetaRadio
The new podcast episode is out!
Autonomous Genesis - Real World DAOs & Regenerative Economies
You might notice its called “Autonomous Genesis” and not “MetaView”. No, we haven’t rebranded the podcast - we launched a new podcast; two new podcasts to be more precise! 😱
You’re going to be funding 3 podcasts now? 👀
Not exactly, the idea with the Autonomous Podcast is that it will run & pay itself. Each new guest will interview the next guest as well as pay for the production cost of the next episode.
The Autonomous Genesis will now branch into two podcast chains:
Autonomous A - fixing the world with technology.
Autonomous B - fixing the world with non-profits.
👕 MetaMerch
The store itself still isn’t up but we do have some fresh designs!
Maybe start warming up for these drops?
& last but not least…
💨 Website Migration!
We spent a lot of time building the profiles & upgrading the wiki. Its about time to start the integration process of moving everything into metagame.wtf.
Here’s the latest design of the navigation bar/app drawer, closed & open 👇
But what goes into all that background? 😱
You’ll know soon enough 🙃
Not just refusing to leak our alpha, we’re also not yet sure ourselves. We only know it will be some kind of a dashboard & likely a feed.
We’ll be doing a design sprint with the folks over from Deep Work to work out which of the 100 awesome ideas we should build first.
❓ Quests
Don’t want to be among the next 20 to get booted out of MetaGame for being inactive, do you? Here are some quests 🙃👇
Evergreen:
🧠 Learn or Teach - We need more knowledge to spread! Go to the #🧠-brain-exchange channel and post “I want to learn X” or “I can teach someone Y”.
🏛️ Tread The Forums - Forums are a crucial place for curating useful information but currently still underpopulated. Go and do something about it.
🚨 Speak up! - We need more people suggesting improvements & speaking up for what sucks in MetaGame. Do that in the #🚨-issues-n-ideas channel.
💩 Don Dump - You’ve been holding Seeds through this x3 pump and you have no intention of selling any time soon? That alone is worth some recognition.
🏥 Help Others - Go help someone! May be a fellow metagamer or it maybe a a fellow stranger - any philantropic or ecological cause out there.
New/high impact:
🍝 Pasta - We need someone to copy the ⛓️Chainlog sections from the past 10-20 newsletters, and make it into a post of its own.
🔍 Analyze - Install Google Analytics or other analytics software on the wiki so we can know if enough people are finding it, what they find most valuable etc..
📚 Curate - Making MetaGame more useful for Ethereum noobs! We’re collecting knowledge on all things tokens, dApps & DeFi. Got useful links or thoughts? Tell us about it in the #🧠-meta-library.
As always, report to #😇-did-a-thing upon completion to claim your rewards 😊.
⚔️ Open Roles
🙋 Innkeeper - We got people applying to join through the wiki, we need people who will talk to them & help them find their place within MetaGame.
🎧 Audiophile - We got 3 podcasts going & we’re going to need more people to edit them. Interested in editing the podcast? Let us know.
✒️ Scribe - We need scribes at our weekly Inner Circle & Community Gathering calls. Also someone to write posts that go with podcast episodes.
📽️ Anchorman - We need someone to start recording update videos based on these newsletters & educational content for the wiki. Considering becoming a youtuber? Now is your time to shine 🙃.
If you have any questions about the quests or the open roles, please feel free to ask in the #⁉️ask-anything channel or the tavern.
🧐 Not for you?
Then just buy some Seeds.
