Here we go. If you want to come up and have a chat, raise your hand and say hello.
We'll just wait for people to start coming in. Thought we jumped too far into it, but thanks for coming along and joining you on the Rebills, Birth of the Kitten Cube.
This quickly drop I um
in the long run of this school would.

Awesome. Well, I'll just start talking until anyone wants to put their hand up and say, "I'm excited for the future of our kit and kill" and then what we're doing moving forward. So for many years that aren't aware,
It's an OG project that has a lot of history in this space, has a lot of connections to some incredible communities like Famous Boxes, Champions, Galactic Geckos, all ones that I am really bullish on myself and owners of some of those collections and I just didn't want to see it in
go to zero basically. There's too much story and too much history for that to happen. I put a bit of a post up last night but I'm searching a lot on the crowd as well and my background is in community management. I've been doing that since October of
of 2021. So I have a grasp of what it takes to grow and build communities and I believe that there's a great opportunity that I can kill and I've always had this passion and desire to lead a project but at the same time not just for the sake of it.
not creating something just to suck, I guess, liquidity out of the ecosystem. So, like, taking over an existing project that works out perfect and one little passion about. I guess a big question a lot of people are probably having to use one of the next steps. What are we doing?
And that's a big one because as you probably aware, treasure is not robust. So I'm going to be honest with you guys where we're working very much on a community style project. The closest example I've probably had today is this Blackie Gecker. It's also a project that was
to be rugged at very little treasury and the passion of the teams really brought in the communities brought it back to you and they're on an absolute tear at the moment. So the first point in Port of Call is going to be getting some community members to join the involuntary and help out, especially like
some collaboration, some collab managers and stuff like that so we can start getting some whitelist opportunities. Now this won't be our main focus, the whitelist opportunities, but the community feedback I got was that this is considered a bare minimum. It's basically every project requires some form of whitelist opportunities.
opportunities to attract community members, but saying that I don't want us to become another cookie cutter project because there's so many of them around at the moment that there's no need to create something else that's already there.
As my focus going forward, I think what I want to do is learn together and grow together. That's sort of, I guess, my catchphrase and what I want, to keep in tune to move forward with, we're in such a volatile and wild industry that there's a lot of bad actors and
And a lot of people jump in and don't have a great knowledge of what happens in the industry and how to best handle it. So as a result, we're going to create a, we're doing, we're going to start doing weekly educational threads through the Kikinku Twitter account.
And this is just to help those and onboard the next lot of Web 3 users. We can't just be onboarding people and using the user. That's not sustainable and we've noticed lately that we're losing that new liquidity and I think
that's part of the reason is education is lacking. So if anyone has any questions or thoughts, raise your hand, come up, say hello. But definitely it's going to be, we're going to require a fair bit of community engagement and community involvement to
Can you see me again? Just drops my mode as you can see me.
Hello! Awesome, it's much easier to stick on these arms.
Please, please, please, there's other people directly. Some reason I got really good when I tried to bring up Cheritone.
Hello, Dunn.
Hey, how are you doing? Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. And yeah, thanks for the sum up, but it would be very interesting to know what you have as connections to help maybe can
to not be left alone collection in the NFT space because you know how much it's hard to connect with other collections or stuff like this. I know you work for UGS which is very nice. And also my second question was
What would you wait from the members that are still there and chilling around? How can we help or bring some value? Yeah. Yeah, so first question.
I did say that I have got experience in community management. I am still working concurrently with QTNK at UGS, so I'm a community manager over there. I'm also on the Gecko DAO Builders Committee as well, and within
to help push and kill in the right direction and lean on those communities from, I guess, an organic parking perspective.
I'd love to jump in DMS or jump in Genchat or just have a look around and see where you can add value because everyone has their own skills and specialties and to be able to lean on that would be incredible.
I'll get to Jericho. Yeah, you guys, since you got to hang up. I'm good to go. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Sorry about the rugging you earlier. I put it was breaking. Um, but yeah, guys, I'm Jericho. I've been helping King Koop and searcher in the background. And key.
He is proven to me that he is a very confident leader. There are very few people that I've spoken to and I've advised several projects as well. He has a good idea of what he's doing. So I trust him a lot. And that's my perspective. But with the question
like what connections does search or have or the rest of the you know can coup helpers have you know it's not just on us the people who are trying to change the project in the background but it's up to everybody in the community right you know leveraging your connection
and leveraging a dirt network to further grow kitten coop. So a main thing with Kinkoop is that we have a lot of holders from very legitimate procedures communities, especially from famous Fox, from G.S.G., from SMB. And Kinkoop has had a pretty crazy story of the reborn rug.
So, you know, leveraging our own community members and leveraging your networks and our networks equally is going to help King grow immensely. So, yeah, that's just going to be a huge thing for our future.
Simple dropping in chat is helpful. You know a simple retweet or live or comment or sharing this space which would be awesome is gonna go a long way So anything you guys can do to help Kingcoup is gonna help everyone 100% for all community-based projects. It's not a one-of-a-kind
show. Everyone that gets involved no matter how little you think it is is really appreciated and noticed by the same. I guess some things I can talk about what we have been working so Jericho has been involving and we've got a few things working behind the scenes you may have already noticed
the daily GM inspirational quotes that's just to try and build up that reach and use the incredible artwork the Neumann's done to throw a bit of it I guess a cute spin on it and try and get kicked back in the eyes of the community. We're also working on building up a website at the moment.
And with leverage to feel that community members on that as well. So I have hobbies is not here. I'm not sure how his time zone and how this is been that he's been building this incredible UI for a new website to keep moving forward, which will have a few little
features in it, I think will be cool. One of the things that I've floated the idea about is this system called the 22. I've talked to Jericho, New England, and that's really the existing team as well. But the 22 is something
similar to the bus driver model of Monkey Bay business. I'm not sure if you've seen that at all. But what I've experienced in this industry is that dows are incredible, but they're inefficient. 2,000 people or 700 or whatever the
you need holders is at the moment voting on the direction of the project is not really efficient and often doesn't have a long percentage. There's a lot of holders I just looking at short-term gains and the next exit liquidity which is not what we are looking for it can include
we want long-term sustainability and growth within this industry. So as a result, we're looking at building a system called a 22. Where holders of 22 kittens or more will get access to, I guess, the boardroom. And these ones will have those voting rights within the DAO.
to help push the direction of kitten to moving forward, I guess. That's something that I guess a little bit of alpha. It's not set in stone yet, but it's something we're discussing and something that I'm really interested in implementing. It has some other added benefits as well, especially when it comes to I guess supply.
and demand within the market. But yeah, I guess that's my thought process there. I'll let you guys dwell on it and think about it and if you've got any thoughts thrown in Gen chat or in Kittenku and in the discolour that I'll speak up now.
So, we have some questions in the actual Twitter space itself. So, yeah, if you press the little speech bubble at the bottom, there's a few questions for you. >> Awesome. What are we thinking to do?
What team members from the old team are sticking around? What are your thoughts on the current art and what's being upgraded because of IP concerns? Okay, so Nehman is definitely still actively involved. We haven't finalised where we're going to be going from this
point moving forward, we still have to discuss that just with her time constraints and her focus on breaking into the one-of-one art scene. But we will be fixing up some of the IP issues. So those two big ones were the two
were excited about the second collection that was coming. I just don't want to get hopes up too high until we can resolve, I guess, costings and treasury of it. Okay, I'm going to do that. But a main focus is going to be trying to build and create value for this first collection so that if something comes out of
that will be valued to it and be able to move forward with that. What are we thinking to do that's outside the box? I think outside the box is a big one.
I don't have anything crazy outside the box. I'll be honest there, but what I want to do is what we do is do well. I don't think there's enough focus on education. There's too much focus on just providing alpha and not actually teaching the community members how to feed
themselves. Most projects I see now, it says an alpha cooler, they drop a cool, everyone jumps in and then someone is holding the bag at the top, same with whitelist opportunities like they're cool to have but a lot of them they just drop everything in
there and then hope for the best when it comes out the other end. I think our goal will be to do things well, bring to the current art world and help our community grow and learn together. And that will involve all of this because I have specialties and skills in certain areas and I can definitely
I hope others grow in that area, but I'm not an expert trader. I'm not an expert, I guess, developer. So if we can get people in the community offer up their expertise and skills, and that'll be incredible. And like Eric said, it's everyone needs to be involved for this to succeed.
Yeah, I think a big thing that separates us from other collections, like, you know, what you said, like we don't want to be the same as other people focusing on alpha and stuff like that. I mean, the biggest thing is our history, you know, with Kitten Cooper, everything that Ken Cooper has gone through and where we are now, which is pretty incredible.
So yeah, you know just shining light on that and like all of us are still here after after so much has happened So you know we might as well we we should try to to Bring back some glory days and exceed that 100% and I think
Everyone has a story that goes along with their journey and Kittenko is involved in that and I think a lot of people in this industry have a story that goes along with Kittenko. It's a big one for me, where I'm at and where I've gotten to at this point is Jesus and connections I made from early
in Kid and Kill and I wish that and I'd been more involved through the through the process and continued on and I feel but I feel bad for that but now there's an opportunity to to build it back up and and remind everyone of how incredible Kid and Kill has been as part of the Salona RIKO system.
I also think, you know, we have an interesting story to tell as well. So, you know, it's a lot different. Like being a community member of this project will be much different from any project you've been a part of. So oftentimes, a lot of us are just holders, but we don't really have much to say.
or sway in the direction of where we're going. Well with KissingCoop, you know, like you actually have a truce and where we're going. And we're going to all see this journey. We're going to see the collection progress a new beginning through the help of you. So searcher, for example, I literally just DM the guy and boom.
Here we are. You know, it's simple, right? And most of the time, I DM project counters my grievances and they shoot me down and I, it's like, okay, well, that sucks. Well, yeah, Ken, this is a community brand. It's a new beginning for us. It's a doubt. It's a true, it's going to be a doubt. You know, we're going to be making decisions together.
Obviously, you know, we have people like in the 22 who are the kids wheels who want to you know really lead the path, but everyone has to say in that path. Yeah, so to add to that because they're work in terms that not everyone could get 20 to especially if there is a supply of slaves that gets. Now that's that's one why I was
thinking of entering, but active community members that are providing value will also get access to it as well. So that's a similar thing that happens in the bus driver model, is they have these helpers that also get access to that extra model. So it's not that, it's not that just because you don't have the 22, you can't be
actively involved in the direction of kittens and the way we move forward. That's just one barrier entry. The other one is actively contributing and helping build this community because those are the people that we really want to lean on and help follow their path and their passions and where they seek it and get going as well.
So I'll preface that. I maybe didn't explain the 22 fully, but I've got stuff written up that we're going to drop.
but I just wanted to get a bit of feedback from you guys, so I'll let you dwell on that and we'll move on to the next point that I had lined up unless anyone has any questions.
No, okay. What's a lot to move on? The discord. It's been a contentious point of discussion within the team chat. Who are you coming up? Tell me, come back up.
it and who will be based will it be within the existing UM labs discord or will we have a sting in the loan. I think there's there's pros and cons to both of them currently the pros of staying in UM labs is there's a lot intertwining between the other projects
especially linear and it also has that extended reach from the existing community that are available. One of the downsides I see is that it loses our brand identity and growth potential for newer holders, like newer holders come
coming in maybe a bit confused when they jump in new labs at what is actually happening. And also I guess the larger the more collections that within a single discord the more cluttered and the more anxiety driving that this kind of space will be so it's
It's weighing up those pros and cons and we don't have to decide right now but it's something that as the team we've been discussing on where Kitten Kuh will land in the future. So I'd love to hear from you guys and see what you think about that.
Are you asking a question? Thoughts on where we should be. Should we stay in UMLAB? Should we move to Kitten, Kitten, Koo, Discord server? Should we wait a little bit and just see how it works within the current structure?
I know I have thoughts, but what a pass it on the US. Yeah, I mean, I'll put out my opinions. If you guys have any suggestions and for sure tweeted in the bottom, the chat box in the bottom, and you can just tweet it out. But personally,
I think KenCoop should be in its own independent Discord server because UMelabs and KenCoop are pretty different on many aspects. One, the KenCoop IP is pretty detached from the UMelab IP.
And the direction of each project under UMLABS has a vastly different direction. And Kent Koop is the one uniquely positioned that is a D-Rug and also is an heavily community focused, whereas the other is a utility gaming stuff like that.
a big thing and oftentimes like we're the kit and coop community under kit and coop not the UMLAB community. I think like there could be a channel for kit and coop holders within UMLABs but I think largely the community should be in its own discord and I can definitely help with that
I have the best Discord security guys design guys ever so and they they could they could help with building up that discord Yeah, yeah, I guess I've been drafting one in case we decided to move that way
It's only very bad times at the moment, but definitely some of us will discuss what's your thoughts on it? No, I wanted to say that initially I was pretty worried about the idea of having a new discord.
Because you start the community all back from zero, but if as you said in Yumella, the kitten channel stays and we try to bring back slowly by slowly deactivating the new discord,
would be very efficient after reflection. Because it's engaging, you know, it's like, okay, do you want to participate if you want? You can join here and these people feel involved already in the first place.
Yeah, so you're saying maybe you like a fairly new space and let the community drive the direction of the new space without the thought process. Yeah, that's that. And also I don't know how to reach out to this already.
here people that are in new maps. Definitely bringing them into the key to focus value focus discord can be very beneficial in the end because even if there is three
people it's pretty much I consider it as a dead as a dead discord in my opinion. Yeah that's one thing. Yeah that's a large rich within the server about is that
that rejected and like for it right me out the answers most likely though, probably getting like 10, 20 VFs for a hot sort of announcement. So that's definitely something I've taken into consideration as well.
But we'll take that under consideration and we'll follow that. You have something to do, okay? Yeah, Tally, are you concerned about the activity of the new server if there was a new server to be created? No, indeed. It was the inverse in the first place.
was like, oh, if we conserve the old discord with 3k people, at least we have some people to talk to, you know. But I'm sure they will be in the less engaged than if we create a new one and even if we are just a hundred in the beginning, we're gonna give our best, you know, to make it alive.
and bring more people. Yeah for sure. Yeah there's definitely a lot of value with the UMLAB server itself but the thing is is like I see Discord pretty much like a website and the Discord is the most valuable thing in a community
under the IP and those, each of those collections have their own chats and different channels explaining what each does. So, you know, having a new KingCoop server which is incredibly condensed and it's an exciting event as well. And just getting all the most active people in initially and they are going to be like
the building base of that server. So right now there isn't really much activity in the main server and is there going to be any catalyst or thing that will make it more active and will they be interested in you know kid coop itself and not their own collection?
Yeah, 100% like, like Jericho says, "It's incredible. It's really incredible how those thoughts, I think we also have to really think about how
new holders and those who are active with us today, we're forward to do the ones in the drive direction of keeping them along with the same.
But we'll figure out a way to put up a vote for this that is fair. Whether it's in the server, it's on the twit up. There's anything within the server that may affect the boy.
to fact the other collections might vote to stay here. So we'll figure out a way to reserve a bot that I know where those are going to roll to vote on where we move in the future or if we stay.
Yeah, you have a great question in the Twitter comments. Paley so asked you, I feel like not having an independent discord server would strongly limit the potential upside OG building the brand. That that is 100% more. That's been more thought process as well.
I guess not a question that's all I mean, I guess yeah, yeah, okay. Thank you, Billy. Yeah, yeah, it's getting that phone on of really lucky said like it has limited the upside and that's been I guess my my point the same time we don't want to just try to strike back into those
help build where we are today. But yeah, I agree with that. We want to try and utilize that brain. I think it's probably the biggest thing because we're not creating utilities other than learning together, growing together. We're not creating ponds
the knowledge structures or anything like that. We're going to be true to the roots of NFTs and deal with that brand and I understand that having our own server is one way that we can do that because people by keeping and then they jump into a server that's not even related to that can be quite confusing.
Yeah, great point and goes along with my thought process.
So unless anyone has any questions, I'm going to keep it short today just quick quick 30 minutes because we'll do this on our fair and ISIS and all the other continued building with the
So allowing people to come and regularly and provide input. I might close it out for today, which is anyone else has any questions or thoughts.
I do want to say something before we go.
or kitten coop, it's gonna be the cutest comeback in history. It's gonna be fantastic guys and you guys are gonna fucking join the journey and fucking we're gonna go crazy with kitten coop. It's gonna be the best thing ever.
But we're gonna need you guys like reach with the space anytime we have these spaces come join and the GM post you gotta say GM back like and retreat those GM post We need to fucking get out there King Cooper's gonna be the cutest comeback of 20 23
