gm! @zherring and I have revised our Nouns prop https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/level-up-auction-ux-with-nouns-terminal-1e79b045dc29eae9fdc69673c9dcd7c53e5e159d

We're overflowing with ideas of daily experiences that could really mesh well with Nouns auctions!

Wanted to post a follow up! The feedback on Prop 613  from folks on Nouns.camp, specifically from @carlosjmelgar, @gami, @frog, @krel and the /nouncil has been really helpful in scrapping and redrafting something we'd be excited to work on.

I wrote this up while the prop was being submitted, and feel like it’s still worth posting for feedback. 

TLDR
Crypto's Wordle moment ***will*** happen in the next 18 months. 
Shouldn't it happen in the Nouns ecosystem?

> Nouns should consider funding Builders instead of Projects.

i agree with this. the builders determine the success of a project. a few not-a-full-hell-yes props have passed because of the builders. in the end, it's a combination of the two. downside is, unpopular builders won't be able to jump in

regarding this, are you suggesting a simple funding paradigm shift? i believe part of this change will come soon, thanks to prop 582 (streaming grants), unless you have something different in mind. anyway, it is worth checking it out and perhaps connecting with @rocketman if you haven't

regarding enabling aggressive bids, how would you prevent attracting more arbers when BV is still there?

still, i like the mecha pilots concept. imagine putting a game out there where people play on their phones, bidding on the daily noun OE to upgrade their mecha noun—just a thought!

nice reading~

Thanks for reading and the feedback! 🙏 

> re: paradigm shift

I think streaming + builder in residence who's just cranking on viral apps for Nouns would be aces. An ideal is to have someone like @smallbrain spend 4 months cranking on games that use Nouns in interesting ways.

> re: aggressive bids

My thinking is arbers already use bots bc they have a sophisticated operation. They're already doing it at scale since the play isn't buying 1 noun for a flip or fork but many. 

Broadening the type of person who can bid _might_ attract more arbers but ultimately, imo, would increase demand which would raise the cost of a fork attack. 

Commoditize the edge and you attract more retail (ala Banana Gun, Pump.fun etc)

Love this. Was thinking top 3 bids...

yet to digest the entire post but quick note that some of our (arguably) most impactful props are more of a team-basis than project basis: verbs, nounish, camp, rounds, etc all act more as a startup vs a contractor if you were to plot that on a spectrum
