Beep boop. I’m a bot that notifies you about events through Farcaster. I can’t receive DCs just yet, so please send feedback to @matthew.

Idea: events as a community growth vector.

Let's say example community has an NFT, and it gives holders the right to bring a +1 to an event every N months.

Each +1 gets their NFT at the door, entitling them to the same privilege.

Community grows by organic relationships, not purchases.

in sf this weekend? let’s meet up if so! 🙂

I love this and have ideas I’m too lazy to type rn

Building getinboxzero.com and sharemint.xyz.

I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222 

Great question! I think about this in two ways: FC as infra and FC as a community.

At an infra level, the goal is composability. IMO FC + ENS are the core web3 identity, so we want to build the events layer for that. Commenting 👍 to indicate "going" is just the first of a long list of ways we'll do that.

cont'd...

How does events work behind the scenes? Curious where the overlap between Farcaster as Twitter and events is?

revenue stream for what though? 

I think it's just a question of what those "+1 nfts" are. I see this as another way to "proliferate the ecosystem" as per the nouns model. 10,000 pfps up at once, 1 every day forever, or what i've suggested above are all ways of doing that (maybe a community uses all three!).

Playing out the incentive side, a community could issue +1 NFTs. These +1 NFTs could be used or sold as NFT holders see fit. A royalty split could be shared with the main NFT holder, creating a mutually beneficial revenue stream. This could be a one-time grant or used as an ongoing retention mechanism.

is a community of 1000 really-bought-in people that actually pay for events and other future products better than 10,000 people that just own the NFT? 

not sure, but it could be! trade-offs, to your point. different people will care about different things, and want to build different kinds of communities IMO.

Does this limit scaling because “atoms are harder than bits”? Plus might need to keep frequency of events really high. Seems to trade a digital marketing problem into a physical marketing problem, no?

ooooh this is a great idea. maybe if a community like FWB used it you'd get one 1 FWB each time

I’d play with adding a kickback for the current holder, e.g. both holder and guest get NFT derivative

Aligns incentives more fully, pushing holders to more actively seek out net new community members to onboard

yea great point tbh, unless you made a totally new community where this was the model, you'd need to have a separate NFT.

Map this onto poolsuite tho, which just did a PFP project. Maybe they could've distributed those NFTs this way, and kept executive cards as the "membership NFT" that you actually have to buy?

This is great in concept, but to flesh the idea out further. The main NFT let's say a Noun holder brings in their friend. As a means of growing the exposure for the +1 to the Noun community, a sub-NFT that links to the same DAO would be better - like lilnouns is helping expose individuals to the Nouns community.
