Building Meme Factory Together

Updates to the Community Poll and Design Contest

Back in March, we gave an update on our plans for the launch of Meme Factory. In it we explained our intention to take all steps necessary to leverage the power of Aragon Core in the creation and management of Meme Factory from the outset (rather than saving this port-over for later). This would allow us to leverage the wisdom of district0x Network Token (DNT) holders to decide which forms, features, and even memes to include in the launch spec of Meme Factory through several rounds of polls.

We followed this up with another announcement of the Meme Factory Design Contest, which would give designers and creators the ability to participate directly in populating the site with logos launch-day memes for sale. These too would be decided by the Community Polls.

Today, we’re excited to share that the survey dApp for the Meme Factory Community Polls is now live. You can find quick instructions and tutorial videos on the landing page linked above.

Many small changes have been made from our original plans outlined in the posts above. We’ll recap the details of the Community Polls and subsequent DANK issuance below.

How to Vote

Originally we had planned on utilizing a true “staking” mechanism, whereby voters would need to move their DNT into a staking contract in order to receive the right to vote. Given several UX constraints around this, as well as the increased overhead deploying contracts that hold user funds, we are deploying this as part of the District Registry dApp rather than the initial survey dApp. Instead, for these surveys, users will only be required to sign a transaction from an address holding a balance of DNT.

REQUIREMENTS

MetaMask OR Mycrypto.com compatible wallet

A small amount of ETH (to cover transaction fees)

Available DNT (this does NOT get spent)

NOTE: The DNT balance available for each vote is fixed based on the balance available at the beginning of each survey. You MUST have DNT in your wallet prior to start times listed below in order to participate.

Upcoming Polls

Meme Format

Starts 08/13/2018

The purpose of this vote is to pick a “format” standard for each Meme. Given the technical and visual design constraints we’re working with, we have a few possible choices for aspect ratio for Memes themselves, based on popular resolutions:

5:7 (Standard physical playing card size)

2:3 (Vertical phone screen)

4:3 (Standard TV/motion picture)

16:9 (Standard HD/Widescreen)

1:1 (Square)

Website Theme

Starts 08/20/2018

In the early stages of planning the website design, we had several different color pallete swaps drawn up, each of which is meant to fit the entire theme of Meme Factory:
