“Almost all names in that screenshot don’t have any conotation to Gaming”
Its not about that, its about the modern catchy name and about the smooth logo image - branding.
And its cool that you personally dont see anythig wrong with the Boom DAO name and image branding.
Its just a reminder, that current up to date stuff looks like the ones in the image above.
And it would be much easier to start with a smooth modern name and logo - branding, then having to vote and make something up when it already has started. But thats just my oppinion as 1 person.
And you also have to think about this, right now everything is new in the IC ecosystem, right now you and other projects that are building might be the only ones building in your niches. Down the road there will be more and more devs migrating to the IC ecosystem, and who knows how many of them and what kind of big teams and expertise they have - if one is slacking, they will simply overtake and replace the outdated versions that were created before. It has happend in the history of the internet with almost everything that was launched back in the late 90s and early 2000s, when the internet was new. But i wish the project nothing but the best Just with the branding i have to duck under the table a ittle bit
Following your post, we sent you a private message 11 days ago to connect with you. We haven’t heard back from you. We are always happy to connect with ICP community members, and it would be a great pleasure to schedule a call with you. We reiterate our invitation.
If anyone wants to connect with us over a call, please feel free to reach out. We are always happy to have open and constructive calls with the community.
Thanks a lot for your interest in BOOM DAO and for providing constructive feedback on branding. We really appreciate that you took the time to share your thoughts with us. Overall, BOOM DAO branding has received lots of positive feedback from the community, however it’s impossible to please everyone.
You made a lot of valid points that we will take into account, everything can always be improved, including branding. This is why we consider your feedback with careful attention. It’s also worth mentioning that ultimately it is the community that will make these key decisions regarding branding and all other critical aspects to ensure the success of the project.
As mentioned in my previous message, we are always happy to schedule calls with the community. If you are interested to discuss any feedback you might have or ask any question, please always feel free to reach out to us in the forum or in private to schedule a call.
We want to thank you again for taking the time to share your valuable feedback, we take it seriously. We are confident that with the input of such community members, like you, we will collectively build a unique gaming DAO on the Internet computer!
We’re thrilled to share that our SNS token swap proposal is now live! Thank you for your immense support. You can view it here: Proposal: 124292 - ICP Dashboard
I’ve been following this forum discussion, and I’d like to give my perspective on a few things:
Tokenomics related to the BOOM DAO proposals were aligned with the DFINITY Foundation standards and the community voted yes.
Most SNS projects have requested large amounts from the Neuron Fund, the percentage BOOM DAO requested doesn’t differ from the status quo. The amount they requested is smaller than other SNS projects.
I’m a Founding Partner, and I’m not part of the team. Founding Partners vote as we want, independent from the BOOM DAO Founding Team. There will be cases where we vote differently. I’m not obligated to follow the Founding Team’s voting decisions. I vote as a community member, with additional context and experience as I’m building a game on the IC.
I hope that in the future even detractors will contribute ideas and code to the DAO to further boost the gaming vertical on the IC.
I’m personally happy to see this project succeed and think that it’ll represent a huge move forward for the ICP Community and the ICP gaming ecosystem.
@CapuzR I want to be clear, I wish the project success, I would LOVE all projects to succeed here on ICP. The reality is 99% of the entire industry is going to fail. It doesn’t make sense to drain the treasury so fast.
I personally see this as a cash grab. It looks like Tommy & Max are splitting 10%, then the rest of the 23% is divided up amongst 22 others on the website even though they are listed as individuals & teams. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong there, but that’s what it looks like according to whitepaper + partners page.
It just doesn’t look favorable for the community, with the founding team (2) & partners (22) getting 33% percent total with the added promise that 80% total funding will be drained for development, hackathons, and gaming guilds from the treasury. Voting power is substantially high, making it relatively easy for the teams to collude and gift each other grants & make hidden deals.
If the community passes it forward so be it, they will be accepting that the DAO Treasury is missing 80% at 2 years. We simply voiced our concerns, it looks like it’s going to be misused. We called for an adjustment to the tokenomics & the voting power to make this substantially more fair to the ecosystem.
This project could absolutely be beneficial for the ecosystem, I’m not doubting that. Just seems like the community is being extracted from pretty badly here. I hope to be proven wrong over time.
I agree, the tokenomics doesn’t match with their “building for the community and greater good” pitch. Hope this isn’t smoke and mirrors, but warning signs are there…
Someone posted a printscreen of this question in a TG group, I replied there, but thought it could be informative here too.
Below is a copy of what I wrote there:
I personally don’t see much to reply in there. Everyone knows the treasury can’t be moved without the DAO approving it. If it will be spent in 2 years, and to where, it will highly depend on the DAO.
The founders are vested for 2 years, and then it’s a monthly neuron that takes 6 months to dissolve. If that (money drain) would happen, won’t they be the most penalized as well?
I am on one of the founding partners (Obsidian Tears) and there is no collusion, there never was. But by far, we are (and should become) the biggest users of the DAO, we should be interested in using, contributing and sharing gaming tooling and services. We have and is expected to be the biggest contributors. Involving games is fundamental to the success of a gaming DAO. Also some of these games can use the tokens to airdrop their own players.
I have made the math, power is distributed. I don’t see why the worry, on other launches they have substantially lower amounts of tokens being sold to community. BOOM DAO has the highest amount so far (40%). There is no “surprise” or “future inflation” of where will those tokens go. It’s on the community, the players. Now it’s their responsibility to stake and steer the future of the DAO.
I will be there, hope you too will be there. After all, the best way to prevent misbehavior, is to be active If we all do our part, have no doubt that success and big usage of the network will lay ahead of us
Is there a reason why the “brigade” of people defending Boom DAO within this forum have not responded to these allegations, or the previously discussed topics?
It seems like now that the proposal has concluded, people are no longer interested in talking - as the chance for money is already here.
I’m also curious about the abundant supply allocation to founders - does anybody think 40% of voting power to (2) founders is fair?
Why are you tagging me on this message? How and why do you think I am associated with the BoomDAO project or can share whatever details you seek?
I’ve already shared, and will continue to share, that I think the BoomDAO SNS will be good for the ICP gaming community. That entire effort including the leadership team have my support.
I know @icpmaximalist from the ICP Maximalist social media chat group community that he started shortly after genesis. He supported my leadership efforts to spin up the ICPMN named neuron, which we later rebranded as Synapse. Hence, I’ve worked with him on community facing efforts for a long time. Based on these experiences, I think he is a man of integrity. He has always followed through on the commitments he makes and he is diplomatic and fair. He also never engages in conversations to slander others.
I have nothing to do with his gaming focused projects including Moonwalkers, IC Gallery, Plethora, or BoomDAO. It’s not clear why you and others continue to think and claim that I have an association or can speak to them, especially after I have addressed this assertion many times. From my perspective, it’s just another minor example of how there is a small vocal group in the ICP community that lives in a social media echo chamber and brews negative sentiments into false conspiracy theories based on bad or fabricated data. It’s getting old and most of the time it’s easier to just roll my eyes and move on to something more important.
Just with the branding i have to duck under the table a ittle bit 
If we all do our part, have no doubt that success and big usage of the network will lay ahead of us
