Community Poll Update & FAQ #2

New FAQ’s, Results From Poll #1, & Looking Ahead

In our last Meme Factory update, we gave everyone a sneak peak of some contributions we have seen, answered common questions and gave a recap of the survey progress. This week we want to highlight a few other interesting things we have observed and answer a few of the key questions we have received from the community. Moving forward, we will publish a new update here to announce the winner and the close of each weeks poll and to kick off the next poll.

As a reminder, we are currently in the second week of our Meme Factory Community Polls. Each corresponding poll helps decide the design and implementation of several aspects of the upcoming Meme Factory dApp, as well as the winners of the Community Design Contest.

The Results from Poll #1 Are In

The first poll for Meme Format concluded on Monday, the 20th of August 2018). The purpose of Poll #1 was to pick a “format” standard for each Meme, essentially the “aspect ratio” for the Memes themselves, based on popular resolutions.

In total 61,065,010.78 DNT was used to signal towards the initial poll.

It was a very close poll; with a neck-and-neck race between a 2:3 (Vertical Phone Screen) vs. 4:3 (Standard TV/Motion Picture). The winner, 2:3 aspect ratio was decided by a margin of just 1.41 million DNT — that’s only 2% of the of the overall DNT staked.

Poll #2 Is Currently Live

For Poll #2, we have several different color palette swaps, each of which is meant to fit the entire theme of Meme Factory. For this vote, the 1 of the 6 color palettes below will be selected as the winner. This poll ends on Monday, the 27th of August, 2018. 48,154,942.63 DNT have been staked to this vote to date.

To vote, head on over the Survey dApp (powered by Aragon)

Reminder — Each DNT signaled towards each week’s survey will be returned in kind with a proportional issuance of DANK. DANK is the ERC20 token that powers the Dank Registry. Holders of the DANK token will use it to decide which Memes are allowed for issuance and sale.

New FAQ’s

Over the past week, we’ve had many new questions arise from the community. Here is a quick recap on everything we discussed:

I tried voting but it still says reverted.

This is typically due to entering the wrong survey ID. Each new survey will have a new survey ID listed under the deatails of each

If I move my DNT after voting will it change my vote?

No, a snapshot of all DNT holders is taken when a new survey is deployed each Monday. This actually creates a new token specifically to be used in the poll. This is based on the MiniMe token design conceived by the Giveth team. Learn more on this Medium post.

I noticed the total votes change during the previous survey being deployed, are my votes still accounted for?

Yes, we are aware of the issue and it has been resolved. All votes will be accounted for if your transaction was confirmed. You should see the total amount you have voted with to date in your vote statistics on the voting dApp.

If I voted with Mycrypto.com and my ledger wallet, how do I see my total votes and DANK tokens I’m currently eligible for?

You will need to log into the survey dApp using Space Suit, it’s based on the same code as Metamask and works well with a Ledger.

Can I vote using a mobile wallet and browser like the Coinbase wallet or similar?

Yes, most mobile wallets should work perfectly fine. Keep in mind, not all mobile wallets have been tested. If you do have issues, please use one of the official tutorials we provide on our Youtube channel.

After voting, my transaction says confirmed but the survey still says ‘Voting’. What should I do?

If your transaction is confirmed and the survey dApp still says ‘Voting’, its likely a browser cache issue. Be sure you have your seed phrase and private keys backed up if using Meta Mask (or similar) and clear your browser’s cache. This will fix it. If you still have an issue, you will need to reach out to someone in Telegram or Slack.

Special thanks to Brady McKenna for helping compile these questions, and thank you to everyone who helped us spot these key issues and bring them to our attention. If you still have other questions that were not answered above, check out the update from last week which had some FAQ’s at the bottom as well.

We’re excited to discover what direction the community takes things in the coming weeks.
