Thank you, George, for sharing this thoughtful thread on BOOM DAO. Your perspective on BOOM DAO, along with its pros and cons, is highly valuable. We appreciate your recognition that BOOM DAO represents one step in the right direction, albeit just one of many required.
Undoubtedly, this is a massive endeavor, and from day one, we realized the significance of collaboration and coordination among various parties. To achieve BOOM DAO’s mission and vision, we understand the need for many more diverse actors and initiatives to flourish within the ICP gaming vertical.
BOOM DAO is at the forefront, leading the charge and opening the floodgates. We concur with your observation that this journey is incredibly challenging and will involve numerous additional steps and initiatives. However, we believe that the key is not just speed but ensuring we move together in the right direction. BOOM DAO is committed to ensuring that we collectively progress in the right direction, providing maximum value to the ICP gaming ecosystem and the broader ecosystem as a whole. This will contribute significantly to the advancement of the entire vertical.
We highly value your presence as a Founding Partner at BOOM DAO, and your exceptional achievements as ICP builders with UnfoldVR speak volumes about your capabilities. The gaming vertical is undoubtedly in excellent hands with dedicated builders and partners like yourself.
It was a blast presenting BOOM DAO at DFINITY Global R&D on Wednesday July 26th.
This presentation of BOOM DAO by @atomikm will provide viewers with a comprehensive understanding of the gaming infrastructure being developed and widely adopted by a growing number of gaming developers and projects within the ICP ecosystem.
Here is the youtube video on DFINITY’s Youtube channel:
Very few people have been and are dedicated to the IC as @icpmaximalist has been until now and from the beginning. To describe a SNS designed by him and his partners as an attempt to grab easy money is clearly a symptom of some recency in the ecosystem (it is not a critic, of course). Let us seize the opportunity to give some support to these “project angels” rather than disgusting them by suspecting them of being rug pullers or something like that. For the IC’s wellness, I hope they will have massive support.
Hello @Roman, it has been a while since our last communication. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your kind words of support to the team and myself.
Your encouragement means a great deal to us. One of the remarkable aspects of our unwavering focus on BOOM DAO’s mission and vision, as well as the overall success of the ICP ecosystem for all stakeholders, is that anything that doesn’t contribute to moving in the right direction is deemed irrelevant.
Our priority lies in working TOGETHER to create the most exceptional blockchain ecosystem EVER. We value individuals who share a positive, collective, and collaborative long-term mindset. I am thrilled to know that we can rely on your brilliant mind. Thank you once again for your invaluable support.
First and foremost, congratulations on icpp-pro and the impressive traction you have gained, it’s amazing. We are also interested to explore potential synergies. AI holds significant importance for the gaming vertical and the ICP ecosystem.
I will send you a direct message to schedule a call. Once again, thank you for getting in touch!
It’s fantastic to see you mentioning Autonomous Worlds. We have dedicated significant time and effort to explore and research this subject over the past few months, and we are incredibly excited about its potential. We are thrilled that you brought it up. We are well acquainted with the MUD framework and Lattice Engine, as mentioned in your link.
Tommy and I firmly believe that Autonomous Worlds will pave the way for new gaming genres and redefine the gaming experience to a greater extent. In fact, we are in the process of transitioning Plethora into a digital society of autonomous worlds. While this is a massive undertaking, the work has already begun.
The Internet Computer provides an incredible tech stack that enables the development of fully on-chain autonomous worlds, and we are enthusiastic about using BOOM DAO to build the gaming infrastructure that will empower gaming developers and projects to launch their autonomous worlds in the future. Embracing such worlds fully on-chain offers countless opportunities.
Additionally, for those interested in delving deeper into the on-chain gaming movement on Ethereum, here’s an article that explores the potential of Autonomous Worlds as crypto’s next frontier. We are determined to drive the adoption of Autonomous Worlds on ICP through BOOM DAO.
Not for long the one step only is just around the corner. Also I was giving you a friendly reminder that nobody cares what we want to see this was already decided.
We’ve already completed all local testing for the SNS a few weeks ago. We’re currently doing our SNS Testflight and testing more complex proposals like indirect upgrading of canisters etc. Everything is going well and testing will be complete in the next day or so
@cyberowl and @eimolad, you brought up good questions about governance and how contributions will be managed / payed.
Due to personal and academic background on both Computer Science and Management, I am a bit of a nerd (weird passion) on this topic, think that the IC allows us to do some really cool experiments in here.
I am currently leaving my full time job, busy with all the “cleaning up”, but from September onwards will be full time for the IC (and hopefully for Obsidian Tears + Boom DAO). Really hope to contribute both my thoughts and code to this effort.
Don’t want to go deeper, as it’s off topic. But as soon as we have a forum / group thing, for sure we can create specific topics to do deeper discussion on these systems I would love that, really looking forward
I just got out of a call with the BOOM DAO founders to discuss possibly synergies between the work I am doing around bringing C++ Developers to the IC and the BOOM gaming infrastructure.
The consensus was that:
Number 1 priority is to create a C++ Agent that can be plugged into the Unreal Engine.
The candid library for this is already available. It was build as part of the C++ CDK and externalized as a standalone library.
It was already on my roadmap to build this C++ agent, but it was not yet on my roadmap to focus on gaming and make sure it works well with the Unreal engine. Now it is
They recommended I review the C# agent as a reference. That one plugs into Unity and they said it works really great.
An investigation is needed to gauge interest in using the C++ CDK to build C++ Worlds.
This is a great topic for discussion in the DAO community and set priorities
It is a bit of chicken & egg problem. At the moment there are not many C++ developers active on the IC, because the C++ tooling is just starting to appear.
Once the BOOM DAO is in place, I will definitely join the community as an active member and look forward to contribute.
Our reason,@boomdaosns, is basic gaming infrastructure for the ecosystem. To allocate a max of 800k $ICP is a bit much when the total team & founding partners are set to rake in 264k ICP (max)
While supporting projects building in the ecosystem is essential, the current proposal must be heavily adjusted before it should even be considered to pass. If this is meant to be a community initiative, make it one. Don’t expect 33% for the founding team & founding partners.
We propose that the founding team & partners max out at 10% and the remaining to grants & hackathons. After all, this is basic infrastructure.
MOST GAMES FAIL
You could dump millions into a game, and it can still fail. This is much safer for the DAO to allocate more through grants voted on by the community instead of taking 33% out immediately to the founders (locked after raise)
Voting power allocation should be revised as well.
We are partnered with several teams in Boomdaosns, yet we are speaking out about this. We are aware that this could hurt our relationship. However, it is our right to look out for the ecosystem on such a proposal that could end poorly.
We are calling for a proposal that is better suited for the community instead of extracting from it.
I see Boom DAO as an investment fund for the gaming ecosystem. Who is overseeing the grants and then investments into the gaming projects, will it be the owners of Boom Dao voting democratically or will designated person(s) or team be making the decisions?
Ya know… just my opinion but I think there should be a larger focus in gaming to rewarding the user. AI is about to displace most of human civilization, 100-years of training workers instead of thinkers. We now have the burden to entertain and occupy these folks time and subsidize their income. These people must be able to replace their jobs with gaming and make a living at it. I would say the focus should be on rewarding users to replace their current wages. What game or metaverse world would you quit your current job and play or work-unknowingly on for 8-hours where anyone/user could make a living wage at? I like the Hot or Not game and their focus on rewarding users as an example.
I would love that, really looking forward
