Zora

So like… I was trying to be open minded about the new /zora contracts… but it’s just not making sense to me. 

After 200 mints a 24hr countdown begins to close the mint. 

But mint fees are only .30cents now.. so 111 mints is like minting 11 before.. 

So I mint 111 and a friend mints 111 and now it closes in 24 hrs? FML… 

make that make sense please. 

And if not, what platform am I pivoting to? 

Artistprogram was kinda F’d by this update also… proves once again to me you can’t rely on anyone’s tech for your own projects. Which is sad.

We think onchain creators should have options, not get boxed into metas

⇢ Sell at a fixed price? Standard, keep 100% of sales

⇢ Run an auction & market-price your work? Got you

⇢ Offer ‘free’ mints? Take half our fee + 10% referrals

Artists + options = better outcomes

(I actually thing there are some very interesting dynamics at play with Zora, but it deffo doesn't fit a lot of use cases)

It literally fucked Artist Program. Forced to upgrade our contract and now all our mints are closing super quick. Can’t sent an OE mint anymore like: what the actual fuck? 

Honestly regret doing the program on Zora now. Which sucks bc I’m the only one in the crew tbh at thought they’d be the most reliable.

lol, nah.. all good.. it is what it is.. dont need bail outs from zora, just wanted it to remain consistent for 6 months while we ran the program.. rip. 

I tried not to upgrade- but then artists started to complain they weren't able to mint.. so we had to.

ah damn man. that sucks. feel for you and all the artists involved.

It would be good if Zora did some retro reparations for projects caught up as collateral damage in the rapid innovation. how about it @jacob +++ ???
