A
Hey
everyone
welcome
to
ama
number
15..
We
can
just
kind
of
dive
right
in
to
some
updates
on
the
marketplace
and
some
of
the
blockers
that
we
talked
about
last
week
on
the
project.
Call.
We've
actually
made
some
pretty
good
progress
and
a
lot
unlocking
a
lot
of
those
systems,
but
we
still
are
blocked
on
a
few
things.
I
can
let
chuba
kind
of
talk
about
some
of
that
and
then
some
of
the
updates
we
were
able
to
make
in
the
meantime.
B
B
In
that
kind
of
discovery
process
we've
been
able
to
reach
out
to
various
hosting
providers,
kind
of
both
over
phone
calls
and
support
tickets,
and
the
few
things
we
still
don't
have
access
to
we'll
be
basically
recovered
over
the
next
few
days
it
looks
like
from
there
there's
kind
of
measures
we'll
be
taking
to
to
kind
of
ensure
further
decentralization
of
the
infrastructure
between
the
kind
of
various
teams
that
contribute
to
universe
and
kind
of
geographically
distributing
kind
of
access
and
ownership
of
the
various
infra,
but
we
are
still
kind
of
blocked
on
a
little
bit
of
the
testing.
B
So
some
of
the
the
features
that
we
had
we
do
have
prepared
and
ready
to
go,
we'll
still
kind
of
be
delayed
a
little
while
longer
until
we
kind
of
have
everything
wrapped
up
and
under
control.
With
that
said,
once
once,
the
infrared
is
wrapped
up,
there's
you
know
a
whole
lot
of
stuff.
That's
that's
kind
of
ready,
it
just
needs.
You
know
that
last
bit
of
testing
and
then
we
can.
We
can
get
it
out
so
a
little
bit
of
a
hold
over,
but
we're
almost
there.
C
C
You
can
look
back
and
say
like
yeah,
we
should
have
maybe
had
systems
in
place
and
done
things
differently,
but
the
timing
that
it
happened
was
just
the
worst
possible
timing
ever
but
then
couple
that
on
top
of
like
it
was
a
pretty
freak
situation,
and
I
just
don't
know
if
like
in
hindsight,
there
was
a
lot
that
we
could
have
done
to
see
it
coming,
but
it
has
been
holding
us
up
for
quite
a
while
now
and
so
we've
we've
been
doing
what
we
can,
but
it's
almost
like
we
kind
of
launched
the
marketplace,
got
a
couple
things
immediately
fixed
on
it
and
then
have
been
very
much
kind
of
blocked
and
locked
out
for
a
while
now
and
so
once
we
get
access
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
we've
been
doing
is
going
to
get
fixed
rapidly.
C
But
it's
I
mean
it's
hard
to
really
describe
how
much
of
I
guess
how
frustrating
of
a
setback
it's
been
in
general.
On
top
of
the
tragedy
of
the
situation
so
yeah,
I
think
that's
all
I'm
going
to
say
about
that.
A
Some
good
things,
though,
we
were
able
to
recover
access
to
some
things
already,
and
you
know
we
talked
about
last
week
how,
as
we
recover
some
of
those
things
we'll
be
able
to
test
some
of
these
features,
and
some
of
these
things
we've
been
working
on,
so
we
have
been
successful
at
being
able
to
further
test,
which
is
we
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
push
some
of
these
things
live
until
we
get
full
access
and
recover
everything,
but
we
have
been
able
to
make
some
progress
in
the
meantime,
which
has
been
pretty
good.
A
We
actually
have
not
too
many
more
updates
on
the
marketplace.
I
think
we've
kind
of
covered
everything,
so
I
think
we
can
hand
it
off
to
zach.
Zach
has
a
ton
of
interesting
and
fun
stuff
to
talk
about
today,
actually
about
the
polymorphs.
D
What's
up
guys
yeah,
so
I've
kind
of
been
we've
kind
of
been
secretly
working
on
just
something
to
bring
our
you
know
polymorphs
to
life
a
little
bit
and
if
you
guys
read
that
medium
article,
then
you
already
know
like
kind
of
the
direction
behind
it,
but
I
just
felt
personally
like
there
was
some
storytelling
and
missing
from
nfts
in
general,
so
I
feel
like
polymorphs
were
a
good
place
to
start
when
it
came
to
like
developing
some
sort
of
life
form
to
bring
to
nfts.
D
So
I
hope
you
guys
really
enjoy
this
polymorphic
therapy
episode.
We've
got.
We
should
have
another
two
episodes.
One
of
them
is
already
ready
and
that'll.
I'm
not
going
to
give
exact
timelines
because
that's
just
not
a
good
idea,
but
we
definitely
have
a
couple
more
episodes
ready
already
to
go,
live
with
and
share
with
you
guys-
and
I
just
I
hope
it's
entertaining.
D
I
know
it's
entertaining
to
me:
I'm
pretty
confident
that
you,
you
guys,
will
like
it,
but
yeah
we've
been
working
with
some
like
really
talented,
animators
and
comedians
on
this,
so
it's
coming
together
really
really
well,
it's
a
really
fun
project
to
work
on.
A
Pretty
well
known,
comedy
writers,
I
mean
they're,
not
like
I
don't
know
if
everyone
would
know
who
they
were
off
the
bat,
but
their
group
is
called
good
liars
and
they're
pretty
involved
and
have
been
a
part
of
a
lot
of
things.
They're
been
involved
with
adult
swim
and
productions
and
groups
across
the
board,
so
I
mean-
and
they
have
a
bunch
of
funny
awesome
content
online
and
hopefully,
if
everyone
loves
these
episodes,
we'll
continue
to
make
them
and
bring
the
polymorphs
to
life.
And
you
know.
A
Like
zach
said
we're
trying
to
find
fun
and
creative
ways
to
bring
these
guys
to
life
and
show
people
what
they
can
do
with
you
know
their
polymorphs
being
created.
D
I
don't
have
any
concrete
plans
for
doing
that,
but
I
definitely
want
to
get
the
community
involved
in
some
way,
whether
it
be
some
like
therapy,
meme
competitions
or
something
just
inside
of
our
discord
community,
where
there
can
be
some
way
for
the
community
to
like
vote
on
which
polymorphs
are
going
to
therapy
next,
maybe
influencing
the
the
session
itself
and
how
it
goes
so
feel
free
to
like
share
any
ideas
on
on
how
you
guys
think
is
the
best
way
to
go
about
that
or,
if
you
just
have
any
general
ideas
for
the
therapy
sessions.
D
Yeah
but
they're
they're
really
fun.
Besides
that,
I
guess
I
should
give
an
update
on
our
world
wide
web
stuff,
so
we've
got
all
of
our
sprites,
for
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
know
about
the
world
wide
web
metaverse,
but
we
I've
delivered
them
every
polymorph
based
character,
sprite
sheet.
D
I
delivered
all
the
endpoints
to
them
and
I
recent
they
recently.
Let
me
know
that
they're
actually
postponing
any
future
integrations
until
they
do
their
next
update.
So
we
have
to
wait
a
little
bit,
but
that
is
definitely
it's
kind
of
just
waiting
on
them
to
get
their
updates
out,
so
they
can
integrate
more
characters,
but
when
they
do
you'll
be
able
to
play
world
wide
web
using
whatever
play
more
basics
you
own.
F
D
D
I
also
have
a
update
on
on
the
party.
If
anybody
cares.
I
have
some.
This
isn't
all
the
confirmed
artists,
but
some
we
have
don
diablo,
bt
and
vendetta
that
will
be
performing
at
the
the
monster
cat
party
in
in
new
york
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
D
So
that's
exciting
and
I've
definitely
got
some
some
like
elevated
universe,
branding
that
will
be
on
displayed
and
kind
of
laid
out
around
the
decor
of
the
the
building
in
the
venue.
A
Okay,
I
think
yeah,
I
think
we're
all
gonna
be
there
for
sure.
So,
bagels
on
zach.
A
Okay,
I
think
that's
the
majority
of
our
updates
once
again
that
polymorphic
therapy
video
is
going
to
air
on
youtube,
we're
gonna,
post
the
link
in
the
discord,
that's
on
the
universe,
xyz
out
official
youtube
page
and
that's
set
to
premiere
at
4
30
pm
eastern
time
so
about
an
hour
and
14
minutes.
That'll
go
live,
we'll
all
be
watching
it
and
we
can
all
watch
it
together.
I
think
there's
like
a
live
like
there's.
F
A
Chat
box
and
it's
a
short
it's
a
short
video,
it's
about
three
minutes,
but
it's
pretty
funny
and
I
think
you
guys
are
gonna
like
it.
Okay,
so
I
think
that's
everything
we've
wrapped
up
and
I
think
we
just
go
ahead
and
jump
into
the
section
of
the.
A
Yeah
temple's
getting
really
close,
but
we're
still
laying
low
on
temple
on
telling
everybody
what
it
is,
but
everyone's
gonna
love
that
okay,
so
on
the
forum
tyler,
do
you
want
to
answer
these
forum
questions?
There's
one
talking
about
from
jd
buffaloes
talking
about
like
run
rate
for
the
marketing
and
the
vision
for
the
role
of
the
community.
C
So
I
don't
on
the
vision
for
the
role
of
the
community.
I
I
mean
we've
hired
out
of
the
community
quite
a
bit.
I
think
the
the
biggest
thing
when
people
ask
me
that
is
like
it's
it's
hard
to
basically
immediately
figure
that
out
because,
as
like
most
of
the
people,
kind
of
just
come
in
and
start
contributing
and
and
helping
so.
C
Part
of
that,
like
in
most
of
the
like
the
very
like
fervent
communities
that
I'm
a
part
of
the
community
really
starts
to
kind
of
take
shape
into
their
own,
but
in
universe's
case
I
get
that
it's
just
been
a
little
slow
going,
because,
since
we
launched,
we
had
some
unforeseen
circumstances
of
things
that
like
slowed
down
progress
in
general,
I
I
think,
just
in
general,
we've
been
hit
with
a
series
of
bad
luck.
C
Streaks
that
I
wouldn't
expect
would
continue
in
terms
of
runway
like
our
usdc
runway
and
the
multisig
is
fine.
We
probably
need
to
recalibrate
how
much
like
we
like.
The
multisig
has
like
fronted
towards
the
polymorphs,
because
we
said
we
haven't,
like.
I
think
someone
had
said
before
that,
like
we
had
not
spent
any
money
on
the
polymorphs,
but
like
that's
not
completely
true,
like
we
have
a
certain
amount
of
funds
that
were
used
for
like
nfts
in
general,
and
that
also
would
like
extend
runway.
C
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
like
the
general
markets
and
see
where
everything's
going,
but
like
it's
not
like
we're,
like
gonna,
run
out
of
money
immediately.
I
I
do
think
that,
if
like
universe
at
aggregate
was
like
a
private
entity,
you
know
you
see
groups
raising
quite
a
lot
of
capital.
C
Where,
like
you
see,
you
know,
groups
raising
20
30
million
dollars,
I
think
that
we
need
to
get
in
like
a
presentable
place
and,
ultimately
I
I
do
think
that,
if
we're
going
to
compete
long
term
we're
going
to
have
to
raise
or
find
capital
in
some
capacity,
but
I
don't
think
that's
like
an
immediate
need.
I
think
that
we
need
to
get
everything
cleaned
up
and
get
it
all
pushed
out
before
we
worry
about
that.
C
So,
like
we're
not
running
out
of
money
next
month
and
in
general,
you
know
when
we
need
to
worry
about
runway.
I
think
that
we
can
have
some
pretty
open
questions
about
that
in
terms
of
the
monstercat
event.
I
really
think
that
tim
could
probably
come
talk
about
that.
C
Ultimately,
the
way
I
view
that
is
like
that
was
voted
on
and
it
passed,
I
didn't
see
a
ton
of
like
pushback
until
after
it
passed
so
like.
I
really
didn't
think
it
was
a
problem
or
like
a
major
issue,
and
I
mean
at
this
point
like
since
it's
past.
It's
like
it
looks
worse.
If
we
like
go
to
monster
cat
and
are
like
the
community
is
like
pushing
back
against
this
thing
passing
and
like
we
can't
do
it
anymore.
C
So
I
think
like
if
the
questions
are
around
like
better,
like
optics
like
last
time
that
we
did
all
this
it
it
was.
You
know
the
markets
were
pretty
active,
like
everything
on
nfts
was
on
fire
and,
like
I
remember,
we
were
supposed
to
get
like
a
video.
C
I
think
some
of
that
stuff
took
longer
than
expected,
but
like
the
people
who
went
to
that
event
like
at
the
time,
I
think
that
it
was
pretty
positively
viewed
and
received
by
everyone,
and
some
of
that
was
paid
for,
like
personally
by
me
and
tim,
like
a
good
chunk
of
it
actually,
and
so
ultimately,
I
think,
like
we
scaled
it
back
this
time
around
and
decided
not
to
obviously
hit
it
as
hard.
But
since
you
know,
dollars
are
harder
to
come
by
than
they
were
this
time
a
year
ago.
C
I
definitely
think
that
we
need
to
stay
on
top
of
tracking
the
roi,
but
this
was
a
little
bit
in
motion
before
everything
happened,
and
you
know
we
had
been
talking
with
the
monster
cat
team
and
if,
if
it
I
mean
this
happens
in
bear
markets
right,
like
you
start
to
look
at
every
dollar
closely
and
if
that's
the
result
that
we
start
to
look
at
this
event
a
lot
more
closely
than
we
did
last
time.
C
C
So
in
some
ways
you
end
up.
I
read
a
study
one
time
regarding
marketing.
That
marketing
is
normally
like
the
first
expense
that
gets
cut
in
a
downturn,
but
it's
counter-intuitive,
because
the
cost
of
marketing
also
goes
down
because
there's
not
as
much
demand
because
everyone
cuts.
C
Then,
however,
like
the
number
of
eyeballs
that
end
up
on
these
products
and
services
are
ultimately
higher
because,
like
a
million
dollars
spent
on
marketing
in
a
down
market
is
worth
a
lot
more
than
a
million
dollars
in
an
up
market
so
like
let's
just
look
at
it
as
not
like
a
super
bowl
ad
but
like
when
there's
constant
bidding
for
like
clicks
and
eyeballs,
and
you
spend
a
million
dollars.
C
You
just
get
like
put
into
the
noise
right,
but,
like
maybe
think
of
this,
as
like
a
hundred
million
dollar
billion
dollar
campaign
that,
like
major
companies,
are
doing
people
like
don't
forget,
right
and
so
like.
C
If
you
establish
a
brand
when
things
when
there's
not
as
much
you
know
conversation
going
on
and
not
as
many
people
are
watching,
those
brands
actually
tend
to
do
far
better
in
the
upswing
of
things
so,
like
I
think
one
of
the
worst
things
we
could
possibly
do
is
just
be
visible
because
it
was
pretty
hard
to
even
get
a
voice
or
get
eyeballs
on
what
we
were
doing
when
everything
was
going
bonkers,
but
I
think
just
continuing
at
the
pace
we
were
at
I
I
do
ultimately
think
that
more
people
will
pay
attention.
C
If
we're
you
know
increasing
like
what
we're
doing
with
the
polymorphs
like
releasing
more
content
like
these
types
of
things
may
seem
small,
but
people
eventually
start
to
notice,
and
so
I
think
the
worst
thing
that
we
could
do
right
now,
especially
with
that
vote
passing,
is
trying
to
go
back
on
it
and
say
like
no
like.
Let's
not
do
this
now
right.
C
C
D
Buffalo
up,
he
had
his
hand
up,
so
I
might
as
well
bring
him
up
because
he's
raising
the
questions
on
this
anyways.
So
we
can
talk
to
him.
F
C
Partially
because
I
think
well,
we
are
cutting
some
expenses
in
in
various
areas
that
have
to
do
with
like
some
of
the
art
creation,
we
did
spend
like
quite
a
lot
of
money,
getting
like
the
back
end
up
so
like
our
month-to-month
runway
rate
is
dropping
and
we're
working
on.
You
know
figuring
out
like
exactly
what
that
is,
and
as
far
as
the
run
rate
goes,
we
we
have
like
very
good
capital
partners.
C
C
C
C
I
just
don't
have
confidence
that,
like
the
project's
gonna
end
or
fall
apart,
but
we
are
like
watching
the
runway
rate
and
making
sure
that
we
that
how
do
I
put
this
like
we're,
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
like
hit
a
wall
but
most
of
like,
if
you
look
at
groups
that
have
gotten
involved
in
this,
like.
I
don't
think
that
they're
as
like
paper-handed,
as
I
mean,
while
us
in
the
community
and
ecosystem
as
singular
entities,
are
probably
panicking.
C
Some
of
the
groups
we
work
with
like
have
announced
like
massive
massive
raises,
and
I
think
that
they
would
show
up
to
help
because
we
haven't
like
fundamentally
failed,
like
we
didn't
spin
out
of
control
like
luna
or
tara,
none
of
the
funds
that
we
work
with
we're
super
involved
in
that
ecosystem.
So
I'm
not
worried
about
like
their
solvency
and
a
lot
of
like
what
I
said
that
has
set
us
back
along.
C
The
way
has
been,
I
mean
some
of
it
has
been
yeah
like
things
are
happening
in
a
bull
market,
and
I
think
you
can
retroactively
like
look
at
things
that
we
would
have
done
different
along
the
way.
But
overall,
a
lot
of
the
perceived
setbacks
were
from
left
field
and,
like
you,
just
don't
that
doesn't
keep
happening
because,
like
it
hasn't
happened
on
any
other
project
that
I've
been
attached
to
so
yeah
yeah.
C
To
like
sound
like
I'm,
not
comfortable
about
talking
about
it,
it's
just
that.
I
think
that
if
we
start
to
run
out
of
capital,
I
still
think
that
we
can
get
it
in
this
market.
F
It
sounds
like
that
language
is
a
bit
of
a
change
from
what
you
guys
were
talking
about
a
few
months
ago
and
if
I,
if
I'm
misremembering
too,
but
it
talked
about,
I
feel,
like
I
remember
talking
about
a
long
runway
like
self-funded.
We're
not
gonna,
have
to
raise
capital
and
it
seems
like
that
could
be
changing.
And
then
I
think,
relating
to
the
other
question
that
I've
kind
of
been
hammering
on
in
the
discord
for
a
little
bit.
You
know
I
don't.
The
party
is
what
it
is.
F
The
only
real
questions
I
had
were
kind
of
like
what
goes
in
into
actually
determining
the
roi,
because
I
don't
necessarily
disagree
about
anything
you're
saying
about
the
party,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
sounds
to
me
like
it's.
You
know
1500
people
who
are
already
familiar
with
and
involved
in
the
ecosystem
and
just
moving
forward.
D
The
thing
is,
we
had
this
party
planned
and
we
were
planning
on
doing
this
with
monstercat
beforehand.
Like
you
like,
I
wasn't
a
part
of
the
team.
Last
year
this
party,
I
I
went
as
a
community
member
and
I
thought
that
it
was
it
was
worth
whatever
money
got
spent
on
it.
I
had
a
great
time
and
I
thought
the
universe
brand
was
strong
there.
D
B
You
know
whether
it's
big
or
small
events,
kind
of
which
ones
leads
to
to
active
users
and
which
ones
lead
to
maybe
just
people
going
to
the
home
page
and
never
coming
back
and
stuff
like
that.
Not
saying
anything
like
this
can
happen
overnight,
but
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
thing
to
to
start
exploring,
and
I
think
it
may
be
something
the
community
will
want
to
see
in
the
long
run.
A
A
Ways
to
try
and
measure
that
I
mean,
like
we've,
been
trying
to
grow
social
media
so
like
looking
at
those
kpis
as
well
as
website
traffic
and
marketplace
usage.
I
think
that
you
know.
Hopefully
we
can
get
enough
data
to
measure
if
it
was
a
large
enough.
A
You
know
to
make
a
justification
there,
but
I
think
that
there's
enough
information
like
chupa
says
that
we
can
try
to
measure
some
form
of
roi
whether
it
be
activity,
it
would
be
a
little
bit
harder
to
put
a
dollar
amount
on
that,
but
I
mean
we
know
how
much
we
spent
on
the
party,
if
that
makes
sense.
C
Yeah,
I
also
think
that
we
need
to
still
like
make
sure
that
we're
like
engaged
and
focused
in
like
the
the
nft
industry
in
general,
because
a
lot
of
people
come
from
talking
to,
like
other,
like
industry,
experts
on
whether
things
are
like
legit
or
not
so
like
when
you
try
something
out
for
the
first
time.
You
like
ask
your
friend
who
understands
crypto
and
ultimately
like.
C
I
think
that,
amongst,
like
those
groups
in
the
nft
ecosystem,
we
still
have
like
a
lot
of
you,
know,
name,
recognition
and
respect,
and
those
are
really
the
people
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
like
we
don't
like,
we
don't
completely
just
stop
reaching
out
because,
like
if
those
people
start
kind
of
asking,
is
universe
dead
or
is
this
still
a
thing
monster
cat
was
here
last
time
and
now
it's
just
monster
cat,
like
I
think
that
could
end
up
being
like
we
could
have
like
sort
of
unmeasurable
ramifications
from
that
and
jd
buffalo
your
question
about
like
runway.
C
It's
not
that
there's
like
a
massive
like
pivot
or
shift
and
really
the
way
that
I'm
talking
about
that
stuff.
It's
more!
I'm
watching
some
of
these
private
races
in
the
market
and
even
in
like
a
private
like
in
a
down
market,
I'm
seeing
like
nft
ecosystem
to
launch
on
cosmos
like
to
raise,
like
you
know,
30
million
dollars
like
that
type
of
stuff
makes
me
wonder
how
we're
going
like.
We
need
to
raise
capital
to
compete
with
those
types
of
things,
long
term
or
there's
just
going
to
be
a
lot
of
money
competing
against.
C
C
So,
like
that's
more,
where
I'm
going
a
little
bit
back
to
say
like
yeah,
I
mean
I,
I
do
think
that
at
some
point,
we're
probably
going
to
need
to
expand
and
like
that
can't
necessarily
just
come
out
of
like
me
and
troy's
pockets,
but
I
think
when
that
time
comes,
I
think
that
we've,
I
think,
that
a
lot
of
the
people
in
funds
that
aren't
like
active
in
discord
are
still
engaged
and
we
have
good
will
with
them.
D
Jd,
do
you
have
anything
else
that
you.
F
Wanted
to
speak
on
over
here.
No,
I
feel,
like
I've
kind
of
said,
my
piece
on
it
and
made
my
stance
pretty
clear
over
the
last
couple
weeks.
So
I
appreciate
you
guys,
you
know
engaging
with
me
and
hopefully
we
can
take
some
stuff
away
from
this
moving
forward
and
maybe
do
things
not
differently,
but
just
like
you
know
a
little
differently.
D
Yeah,
I
appreciate
you
for
being
real
bro.
If
anybody
else
wants
to
come
up
and
speak,
then
raise
your
hand
I'll
bring
you
up.
If
you
have
any
questions.
D
There's
one
one
more
person
typing:
let's
see
if
they
have
anything
to
say,
but
I'm
excited
guys.
We
gotta.
We
got
about
a
little
shy
of
an
hour
so
make
sure
you
guys
are
in
that
youtube,
premiere,
link
I'll
make
sure
I
drop
it
in
the
discord
and
we
can
all
hang
out
and
get
hyped
together.
While
we
wait
for
the
premiere.
