Thank you, skanderberg!
One of the videos with Moonkyu Song, the Chief BTP Engineer is actually on its way to rolling out, so you may enjoy that one! We also plan to film content with Scott regarding the BTP technology! Adding a BTP commercial would be great, but that may be longer project (since it would be a product ad), better to have the product ready.
Great canât wait for that release.
Undoubtedly you and Scott would do a great job at that.
And a very valid point in regards to the BTP Ad - A full release would be needed to make such a commercial. But I know you will have your hands all over it when that is the case.
when you first started i thought maybe you had some points and legitimate things to address but as you have continued on you really killed all that. This has now just come down to you trolling and itâs a shame because, if nothing else, I thought you at least brought up some good points to address/discuss.
Honestly there is not much left to discuss from my end and I donât care nor do I have time to troll. I care about icon a lot though so was only trying to help.
My main points still are;
Feel free to discuss (or not) these points among yourselves. That is all.
I donât think youâre really discussing at this point. I understand you care about ICON, but repeating previous comments without actually reading what people have to say doesnât bring any value to this discussion.
I believe CPS funds shouldnât be used to cover a persons living/travel expenses etc. ($10,000 just for hotels and transportation)
Iâm convinced you arenât actually reading what people are saying. As mentioned above, it states $2,500 for hotels and transportation.
I believe the requested amount is way beyond what would be needed for this kind of work. For example; wasting funds for travel and living expenses instead of hiring a production team based in NYC.
Same point you are making from #1. Again, please direct me to a production team based in NYC for $2,500. I would gladly reach out and coordinate something.
I believe there isnât an appropriately large platform to showcase $25,000 worth of work. Low follower count twitter accounts, no established YouTube channels etc. There isnât an appropriate viewing audience.
Now I definitely know youâre not reading what people are saying. Itâs been mentioned multiple times that nothing we create are being posted directly to Mirai content and followers. Everything created is distributed through ICON Communication channels. @helloiconworldâs 200,000 followers is âlowâŚâ I guess.
Therefore the videos will only be viewed by a very limited audience of mirai followers and some icx holders which doesnât offer enough value for the money spent in my opinion.
Again, same point as #3. Yadi yada, you not reading.
I donât believe ICON will get $25,000 worth of value back from this proposal. More money in than value out.
Same point as #3. But yes, find me the production team for 1/10th of the price and I will make it happen.
can i ask what is your solution for #3 and #4 ?
As for #3, One of the primary goals in content creation from Korea Blockchain Week & NYC Content Creation is to give the ICON Foundation more content to use. As of right now, in the year or so that ICONâs YouTube channel has been up, there has been 3 videos. One was an event and the other an AMA with Cyrus. Before we think about our viewing audience I think we need to have content period.
Even with it being a 3 month project, from the past proposal, this is CONSISTENT content for ICON for the next 6 months probably. Once we have consistent content, we will be working with the ICON Comms team to establish a plan to truly promote our content. I agree we need to market our work, but I also agree we need to put the effort to CREATE the work before deciding if this is a good investment. Look at other blockchains, and the content they produce. We are probably 3-4 years behind in content creation right now.
So the comments of âlow follower count twitter accountsâ â 200,000 is quite high I think â âno established YouTube channelsâ ---- well thatâs because the ICON YouTube has no content.
As for #4, âvery limited audience of mirai followersâ I mean, they just didnât read the proposal at that point. We arenât posting for ourselves, we are posting through ICON Communications, which up to now, no one has done. We have so many sub-branches of media outlets. We want to create a 1 stop shop to content directly correlated with core team, community members, NFT projects, protocols, applications, etc⌠you know, like every other blockchain channel out there.
As much as I want this type of stuff to have results over night, that isnât the case. Weâre working against the wave right now and making up for lost time. Lmk, if this answered everything @poopster
The guy was spot-on you donât have the reach and frankly speaking itâs not worth all that money. It would be better spend on DAO tooling or some DEFI project. Yes, itâs good quality but your videos are too short and generic. I would prefer content like this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcEzCZsEWfU. It has 10.000 views, long format, not expensive to make and very informative.
yea this is great but i was replying to @dmcho to get his thoughts on what the solution was. thanks
most pipl arenât watching long form content these days. On youtube alone their âshortsâ have been wildly successful. Piipl prefer to consume micro content these days, everyone in a hurry lol
LOL, well there you have it!
Agreed, the whole point of this proposal and the content that we are creating are short-form content. These type of videos may be informative to you because you understand, or at least I hope, the blockchain space. Our content isnât geared towards a Web3/Blockchain-involved individual. Most of those longer form content, people click out of it when they realize itâs going to be 10 minutes.
There is no solution. Unfortunately this is not something the proposal creator can fix, hence why the cost doesnât make any sense. They donât have the answers, they donât have the reach to make any of this worth spending this kind of money.
That being said I donât see why they couldnât fund it from their own pocket if theyâre do dead set on it. They have multiple P-Rep nodes running at this point earning money.
Spend your own money and leave CPS funding to real projects.
