Hello, hello.
Can you hear me?
How do I sound?
Am I okay?
Hello, Peter.
How's your day going?
I'm not sure how the weather is treating you on your side of the world, man.
But out here, it is wildly cold.
We're used to a pretty nice march where we're at.
And man, it is cold.
I have a jacket on like I was shivering earlier.
This is weird.
You know?
Hello, hello.
Welcome, welcome.
Schwamos, I see you requesting.
I'll go ahead and add you up here.
Welcome to the stage, Schwamos.
How are you?
I'm doing good.
How are you doing?
I am fantastic.
Thank you for asking.
Welcome to our Tuesday test day.
Oh, nice.
Tezos community.
I see Peter.
I would like to talk to Peter if he can come up.
Yeah, if Peter's available, definitely, man.
But, you know, that's not Peter.
I can't really compel him to come forward, if you know what I'm saying.
Peter, can you come up, please?
I want to ask you a question.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity, bro.
Of course, of course, of course.
Welcome to Tuesday test day.
This is our episode 73 put on by our Tezos common family.
Welcome, welcome, Peter, to the stage.
Glad to have you.
We've got a very, very, very enthusiastic question to be asked.
You know, I love Tezos.
I love Tezos a lot.
Oh, I appreciate Peter is up here because he's very bullish on Tezos.
Actually, I'm from the XRP army, guys, and I love this as well.
I'm try also have to promote this in our community as well because I know that this is one of the best projects.
Yes, yes, we do love Tezos around here.
So Peter, we I hope we have an interrupted you argue.
Is it cool that we pulled you up here?
That's fine.
I'm just taking a drink.
And yeah, for sure, Tezos is in a really exciting period.
So it's the next couple of months will be quite interesting to see what's happening.
I'm bullish on this too.
But Peter, I see you before that you are linked to smart link, right?
Yeah, not linked, but I do have some smart link.
Definitely.
Since you are in smart link since the ISO or just recently?
No, I first I bought quite early not in the ISO, but maybe a couple of months later and then I sold everything.
And then I started to listen to Olivier and what he was doing with the project.
So I bought back in.
You never listened to Schwamas because I'm one of the biggest holders in smart link and that's nice to hear.
Well, smart link is a good project.
There's only one issue and the issue.
It's smart link Oliver.
Maybe probably he's under a D.A.
But he's hiding a lot of positivity about smart link.
What do you mean by hiding and what kind of things is he hiding?
I'm happy because there is a Tezos community here and I can say that.
Actually, one of the secret milestones of smart link was the vortex, right, Peter?
Earlier, but vortex was given away to pirates labs and I don't know how it happened.
No, vortex is still smart link.
OK, it's never given up to anyone else.
And I checked with the Tezos and even on the Tezos blockchain is saying that the vortex is my smart link.
And what I want.
I think that it's pirates labs that have the vortex now.
No, pirates labs does not have the vortex.
I've been following smart link since 2021.
I had a discussion with Bilalalalami.
I had an interview almost like one hour and a half with Oliver Rodino.
I think Schwamos was the first one who covered up the partnership with Presta Shop and Magento.
And what was hiding with Shopify smart link pay.
It's a great project.
So what happened? Did this project just get lost in the ether? What happened?
No, it did not get lost.
It did not get lost.
They're just keeping quiet because actually smart link is not the main player on smart link like smack.
The main player in smart link, it's called smart link group who are located in the US.
So they are like asset management.
They are involved in real estate.
So what they are trying to solve with the escrow payment get away with the e-commerce platform.
That's really good points that we needed.
We really needed right now with the tech of the Internet that exists today.
Because it's no safe to buy stuff on e-commerce.
And buying, for example, stuff, let's say Shopify and buy with crypto.
And maybe you will never get your crypto back and you will never get your products.
It is tough.
It's very tough.
So did you have any other questions for Peter?
I mean, we're kind of holding him hostage up here.
Yeah, Peter, my question for you.
I just need the people of smart link community to join me.
Because I'm making a big event for smart link, for smart community to cover all the truth
and shows their partnership, whatever they're doing.
Because there is right now exists pairs of contracts on the ecosystem between smart link
and Binance and Ethereum and Polygon.
So I want to disclose this with the public saying they know the value, what they hold.
Because SMAC is not what they think.
It should not be cheap.
The range of SMAC should be between the 50 and the 60 cents.
And I want also the public to know about the real supply of smart link, of SMAC,
which is not 896 million.
Yes, it's 896 million of maximum supply.
But the total circulation supply is nearly 400 million.
And there is some tokens which has got burned.
Yeah, and I would happily connect with you and have a talk with you later on.
Because I also think that there is a lot of things that communities should be more aware of,
of the project.
Because it's nicely positioned and have a good working project or product.
And it keeps advancing.
So I would happily connect with you later on.
Peter, if you saw the price of smart link on the 8th December comes up,
it was because of us who would make the project up.
Me and my community.
So we pumped smart link.
And actually smart link, they disappointed us.
They did the reverse what we were doing.
So I need also the support from TESOS community because I see, man, you have a lot of followers
and your voice is heard like everywhere.
So maybe you can help us, like, to reveal the truth about smart link and smart,
what is and what is not.
And to help people to succeed in what they are holding.
If you're on mind.
And I appreciate for giving me the mic.
Thank you so much.
Let's go next and have a call.
I'm definitely interested in doing that.
Well, that's great.
So, hey, welcome everyone to Tuesday says day.
We open right up into a project we haven't heard from in quite a while.
It was that it's good to hear that it has not lost steam on the back end.
Shwamas, thank you so much for coming up.
It's it's good to be able to you for making these great spaces, brother.
Oh, we need more spaces like what you're doing, guys.
And because I know I know, man, I know people on the space.
They hate there as Bitcoin Maxis.
They are exactly Maxis.
I'll mix up your Maxi, but I'm open to innovation.
People, they don't understand to right now that all this blockchain like Tezos and XRPL
and the ETH, they are all working together.
They're all going to be together.
So it's tough.
It's tough in the space already to to fragment ourselves even further.
So I don't see a future where we aren't somewhat working hand in hand somewhere.
It just doesn't make sense that we're not.
So I mean, countries trade, right?
And they have an intricate international relationship.
So I don't see why a a coin economy itself wouldn't be as intricate itself.
Peter, thank you for coming up as well.
I know you must be busy, so I appreciate you taking the time.
Welcome, everyone, to the Tuesday Tez Day Community Call.
Anyone with anything to share today about what they're working on,
it is definitely all about you guys.
We want to go ahead and talk about what's going on in your life.
Para, I see you down there.
Welcome, welcome, retro.
Good to see you.
But anybody else, anything else going on?
Do we have any projects that are dropping?
Do we have any?
Do you allow me to invite my community, please?
I'd like to continue to talk about some other Tezos things as well.
I appreciate that you are represented here and your community is here.
I do appreciate that.
No, I want to invite the XRP community to your space.
Yeah, you can invite.
Definitely.
The XRP community is more than welcome to come enjoy a Tezos space,
but this is definitely going to be about the Tezos community
and what's going on about in the Tezos community.
So yeah, invite whoever you want, man.
Definitely.
We would appreciate that.
Tozard, I have seen a lot of your posts out.
I know that you are pushing underground down.
That's an interesting project that's going on.
Retro, I got to talk to you about your live spaces.
Can you come up and maybe share a little bit about how that has been going
and what it's been like to share a live creating object basically?
Aren't you doing Tumblr?
I'm not sure.
Para, welcome to the stage.
Good to see you.
Good to see everyone.
Where's Kryptonio?
Kryptonio is enjoying a wonderful adventure through public transportation
and he could not make it.
I understand the adventure.
We live in the same country, yeah.
I believe you guys are experiencing some strange weather.
Something along those lines?
Yeah, aerial storms and rainfall and yeah, some crazy weather indeed.
I hope he's safe.
So Para, what have you been working on in the last couple of weeks?
It's been a minute since I've been able to catch up with you.
Well, I will start with the Test Tones news.
We are preparing that big event.
It became big in Seattle in June 1st where more than one Tezos initiatives
will participate and maybe Peter will have to say more about that
and hopefully also Hash Brown might join in a while.
So yes, that's going to be something great.
Music, Tezos representatives from different initiatives.
Certainly the TTC and Tezos comments if they have someone to be there
and I want to see if we can do something with Tezos Greece.
It's up to Kryptonio if we can have a video or something to stream live in the museum there.
Or just stream it somehow because live it's going to be hard in our time zones.
Now, can you remind everybody what this event is on June 1st?
I know you mentioned the name and who's involved.
Yeah, it started as an idea of us in Test Tones,
which is a collective of musicians that we hold like an athletic league
competing, creating music like in teams, music videos
and competing like the football teams compete with one another.
We just finished our first season of competition and we're in the postseason period
so we needed to keep on doing stuff
and we thought since quite a few members of our community are in the United States
and why not have a live event?
At first the thought was to have a Test Tones live event
but then Peter thought why not make more of a Tezos event
which would be perfect.
Many teams can participate with, been discussing with different initiatives
like the vending machine, the TTC, like here and now.
Many things we'll see who's going to participate, how.
On Saturday we're going to the Seattle New NFT Museum
like two members of ours, Fandel and Jake, are going to see the installations,
the screens, the area and have a better blueprint on how to do things.
So yes, it's going to be five hours in there, people will be dancing,
there will be live jams, people will say things about their initiatives,
some art on the walls there, on the screens and we'll see how it goes.
Hopefully it's going to be a Seattle Tezos event.
We're going to choose the name probably this or next week.
It's exciting and I'm sad because I can't be there in person
but I will find a way to stream something or be a part of the jam session that they will hold.
So yes, that's pretty much it.
It's actually the best of luck.
Thank you, thank you very much.
And come guys, come to Dubai.
Come to Dubai guys, we need Tezos in Dubai.
If you have, there is a Tezos community in Dubai and pretty active, I guess.
And we have that upgrade, the Dubai upgrade as well, don't we Blans?
I'm not much into the techniques.
Can you hook me up with them, please?
Can you repeat? I didn't hear you.
I said, can you hook me up with them?
The Tezos community in Dubai?
Because I like the type of the NFT they are doing.
I'm very interested because I see the future of art with Tezos.
It's really amazing.
Yes, the future of art is in many ways and for many reasons, starting from low gas fees
to diversity, to inclusivity, to a very supportive community.
So, Para, you said this is at the Seattle NFT Museum.
That's up in Washington state, is that right?
I think so, yes.
I'm just making sure, I'm sorry.
I appreciate you, man, I kind of want to finish the conversation with Pada, if that's all right.
Don't ask much of your traffic stuff because I'm in Greece.
You're fine, Pada.
Now, you said a couple of your team members are headed up there.
Did you say this weekend to go check it out?
Yes, they leave there.
It's regular Jake that he sponsored part of it.
He helped us with museum fees, which was great.
And Fandel, he lives in Seattle.
He's here if he wants to come up and say some more because he knows the area and stuff.
And they're going to be checking the actual place and do an outline,
how the screens are, check the sound and stuff like that.
Okay, Schwamas, hey, man, yes.
Yes, brother.
I see your hand.
Well, you're from Canada.
Your background is from Greece, right?
You're asking me?
Yeah, you're from Greece, right?
I am from Greece.
Yeah, there is here a beautiful lady.
She's our friend.
Her name is Angie.
She's from the XRP community.
And she's also originally from Greece, but she lives in Canada.
Oh, yeah.
I think you can come up.
That's awesome.
Hey, Schwamas.
I appreciate you being up here.
Are you going to be sharing any more Tezos info while you're up here?
I already shared.
Oh, okay.
All right, man.
Well, then...
That's why we have people from the XRP community here now.
Yeah, and I said that this was going to be a Tezos space, my man,
and I appreciate you.
So I said you can invite whoever you want, man.
But we're doing a Tezos community space.
Pero, what's up, girl?
Can I say some personal achievement as well?
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, I accidentally and intuitively took, submitted an artwork in people's
latest event, and my work just got in.
Two days ago, I got the mail, and I'm going to be exhibited in people's
event on May, which was highly unlikely, and I loved it because I didn't
expect it.
Hey, congratulations to you.
It's so fun.
I mean, I had forgotten I even applied.
That's all.
But I'm anxious about our Tezos event.
I wanted to be a huge success, and people have fun and enjoy it and get
educated around Tezos and all the communities that will be there to speak
about their work and their initiatives and endeavors, and maybe the people
there will learn something more about the blockchain we're in and how easy it
is to use and become a very good market, not only for art, but for games as
well, which is really exciting.
I see gaming raising in Tezos.
When you say gaming, I immediately think the retro is the styling of Star Fox.
I mean, retro, tell me what it's been like doing these video spaces.
I really am kind of curious.
Yeah, hey, Blanks.
Hey, Para.
Hey, retro.
Thanks for coming out, buddy.
No problem.
Yeah, thanks for asking, actually.
The lives have been very interesting.
I've been doing them for two weeks straight, I think, now, five days a week.
So, yeah, and I've been doing them every day.
I'm going to do another one later on.
And they've been really good.
They've been really enjoyable.
It's definitely a new way of communicating with an audience, which I'm not used to.
So when you do these things, I mean, we set up a space.
I kind of know how that goes.
But like when you set up this video space, what does it take?
Are you like setting up like a tripod?
Where you've got your phone mounted somewhere?
What do you change?
Yeah, it's a tripod.
It's kind of like an old tripod that I've got.
And I've got a little, I think it's a Joby tripod that you put on top,
like a GorillaPod.
And I put the phone on that.
So I can see the screen like next to me and then work from it.
But if you watch, it's quite awkward because I'm moving.
I've got two screens.
So I'm kind of moving the whole thing around when I've switched from the PC
to do Blender to go back to the Mac to do After Effects or whatever it might be.
But yeah, it's going well.
So how has the interaction been with the video spaces?
The interaction is non-existent, unfortunately.
So from I've tried Instagram, I haven't tried Instagram live,
but I know that you can interact.
But with Twitter or X, it looks like I should be seeing a conversation,
but people have told me they can't communicate.
They can't send anything.
So interact.
So it's a bit weird.
But some days I get close to 80 in the room.
Some days I get around 30, 40.
But it's been pretty consistent between those numbers.
Para, go ahead.
Have you thought of streaming it on a room in spatial retro?
No, to be honest.
And the reason is this is where people are most of the time.
And I think people are quite comfortable.
And I would try spatial, but it would take a lot of momentum to move people over there.
And that's not what I'm doing, if you know what I mean.
I'm just kind of...
Yeah, I understand.
But Stiloh has lots of traction when he has his parties on Wednesdays in spatial.
Yeah, it's a different vibe, though, right?
Because I think if anything, I would probably have to move to Twitch.
Because that's what I'm doing.
Because I'm working, letting people see what I'm doing when I'm working.
And I think Twitch... It's called Twitch, isn't it?
Twitch would be the major streaming platform, yeah.
Yeah, that's the one.
Our retro is the whole studio crew by himself.
I think that's what we all are at this point.
So Retro, have you been working on anything outside of your streams that you've got going on that you want to share about or anything?
Outside of my what, sorry?
Outside of your streams, man, that you've been working on.
Is there anything else that you're working on?
Or do you have anything that's going on that you might want to announce or share?
Yes, so I did announce this yesterday.
So it would be great if I could talk about it briefly.
Absolutely.
With the RMU Gamer Series, the whole Star Fox thing that you're feeling.
I love it.
So the collectors who have been keeping up with those stages,
I needed a better way to communicate with them and for them to get a bit more value out of it.
So I'm building the website that I'm going to use locked.io to access.
And so if you hold one of those RMU Gamer NFTs,
you get to go to that space, that place on the website, on my own website.
And you can see kind of leaderboards and things like that and lots of other cool things.
So I'm in the process of building that at the moment.
That's awesome.
I remember the last time we spoke, you had talked about these trophies you had that I started noticing popping up on my feet a lot more.
These are the 3D objects.
Now, have you been, are they still sort of like just artistically drawn in blender?
Or are you doing complete 3D renders now?
Is that any of that?
That's still the same, isn't it?
Yeah, so the trophies are basically models from each of the stages.
So each game, each NFT that you see will have a model in it, all of the different models.
And I'm creating the trophies out of that.
But the trophies have coins attached to them.
So I have a retro coin, which is not a meme coin, but it is a coin on Tezos.
And people are earning that coin through keeping up with the collection, winning those trophies.
And that's what the leaderboard is associated with.
And the whole point of those trophies and those coins is it's eventually going to be able to buy physical retro man products.
Fantastic.
So get a high score and then cash in your tickets and win a prize.
It feels almost like an arcade.
Are you going to go like neon and have like claw game style too?
Say that again, sorry.
I was saying, are you going to use like a retro neon style with like claw games?
You know, like have laser lights and then those shiny chrome claws grabbing like plushies out.
I don't know. I'm just expanding.
If we expand into the metaverse, then that's a possibility, right?
Well, let's see here.
We are currently enjoying a Tezos community call.
Shwamos, thanks for coming up here.
I know you're a little out of your element since this is a Tezos call.
I like man.
Man, there is no difference for me between Tezos or XRP with somebody else.
I follow innovation.
That's why I do.
I feel you.
So is anyone else out there have anything Tezos related they wanted to share?
Go ahead and raise your hand.
Request on up.
We would love to share with you.
Well, actually, our community.
Actually, our community wants you to want the Tezos community to update them about that.
What is the ether link is about which is built on Tezos?
Ether link.
Well, if you want, ether link is quite a nice little program.
But one second.
Retro, I know you wanted to say something as well.
Could I hear what you had to say real quick?
I was just briefly going to say it'd be good to get he's in the audience.
Uncle Brad Rose, who is a children's book author, who's joined Tezos recently.
Good friend of mine.
If he has time to come up with his project.
And I'll explain what ether link is.
Well, well, if we can maybe get that to happen.
So ether link ether link is a way for developers to use common contract language used in Ethereum,
but right to the Tezos network instead in a nutshell.
That's what ether link is.
So do you think like the future, like, for example, right now, the Tezos network and right now they will have a future they will have ether link with.
Say I can see that Tezos it's competing with Ethereum, especially right now with with the ether link program.
People can do the ether link thing is less a competition and more an option.
We instead of making developers learn a completely different language to use our system, we're allowing you to use our system using a language already.
No, it's not a competition thing, really.
Yeah, but but don't you think that the ether link can be a revolution in the network?
Well, for example, I believe ether link will open up some doors and make it a very, very real possibility for a lot more developers to use, which I think is very smart.
You mean for the web tree, right?
For everyone, dude, open up everything innovation across the board is a good thing.
You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm going to browse.
Welcome to the stage.
Thank you so much.
You and I are on the same page.
One hundred percent innovation is key.
And as long as we have ways so that people can connect where they're at so that we can meet somewhere in the middle somewhere in my half year have somewhere in there.
I don't know.
Sometimes mine's bigger.
Sometimes yours is.
But we meet there and that's called innovation.
That's called moving forward.
If there was only one way, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the space.
But I would love to dig into.
We have a genuine publisher who has decided to publish a children's book on chain.
Welcome to the stage.
Thank you so much.
Hello, everyone.
Can you hear me?
Yes, loud and clear.
So I've got to have my headphones in.
So I just needed to make sure that it was working.
But yeah, thanks.
Thanks for thanks retro for introducing me to everyone.
Thanks for inviting me onto the stage.
I really appreciate it.
Everyone.
My name is well brows and I am a children's book author and illustrator in the UK.
I'm a very good friend of retro money in real life.
And this is my second week in the journey of the TESOS journey.
And I released my first piece last week on object and it sold out in two days,
which I was absolutely stunned.
I couldn't believe it.
It was it was surreal.
So yeah, I'm sort of living in a bit of a blur at the moment with the TESOS
experience because there's been so much love sent my way.
I haven't received any negativity, which I thought I might receive for it being a bit
of a different project, but I've only had positivity from everyone.
So I'm really feeling the love and just very happy to be accepted.
So it's just going so well couldn't couldn't have asked for more really.
So so how long have you been writing children's books?
So I've been writing now for a poor children's books in particular.
It's been three years since I started writing, but I've been writing now for 15 years.
It started in filmmaking and it of recent years transferred into children's books.
And I'm also writing a comic, which I'm looking forward to.
Hopefully introducing in the next year or so.
But but the children's books have been something I've wanted to write for now for
a number of years, probably about six years since I became a foster parent.
So it's I have all these stories in my head, these awesome children's stories.
And the first one I decided to release was Wajaki.
And that was based on my son and my experiences with my son.
And that's the one that I'm currently making available now.
So I'm just yeah, I just really love the journey of children's books and writing them.
I find that your imagination is freer than then you can be, you know, with adult material.
I think children's children's imaginations are something that as adults we lose as we get older.
So being able to tap into that imagination, it really does, you know,
make for a fun time when you're writing.
You can just experience the world as if you were looking through the lens of a child.
So it is really good fun really to do.
Now, when you write for children, do you find your message has to change a little bit?
Does it have to simplify the language you use?
Yeah, in the whole, you do have to simplify the language in that sense.
Obviously, with adult material, you can express yourself in a more real sense
because you can use whatever language you please to get your message across.
And I think also with children's books, you have to be careful what message you're sending out
so that you're not being too political with your message or preaching or imposing your views on to children.
So which is obviously quite easy to do in adult material because you can just share what is on your mind.
But how you present a message to children, it's quite important that you focus on
the simplicity of the message and the core of the message
and then let the words themselves dictate the meaning.
So how children interpret that is going to change depending on, I suppose, how intense you've been with the message.
Obviously, some books do go quite intense with the message for children,
especially these days as a lot of political elements that are being brought into children's books.
But I'm quite against that. I think we need to let children have their imagination,
let them dictate them for themselves what they learn from a subject.
So I try to be fun with my books and I try to help them learn through a bit of a fun message.
So with Wajaki, the message that is being sent forward is that we can have adventures,
but we also need to be aware of the dangers around us, but not let that stop us having good ventures.
So it's a very simple message for children, for younger children.
And it was one that was inspired, as I say, by my son because he would run off down the road or away in the forest near us.
He'd run off and he'd tell us not to follow him.
But as a parent, obviously, you want your children to be within so much of a reaching distance so that you can keep them safe.
But at the same time, you want them to have that freedom to explore and to adventure and to be adventurous.
So that's where the inspiration for this story came from.
But yeah, it is all part of the process, I suppose, when you're writing, to think about these things and how the message will be translated by those reading, for children reading it.
Now, you said you initially started with a background of film. Is that film production or just writing in general?
So mainly production. So I actually, me and Retro, we had a long time ago now, we had a production company back in 2009.
So we started making films together. And it's something we still do, but it's much less of our time nowadays,
because we both, in the recent years, have moved on to new adventures.
So like children's books and digital art and illustration and 3D work that that retro is working on currently.
So I know for myself, we do love the films that we make as well.
But no, no children's films yet. I hope that is something I can get into in the future. Maybe a collab, who knows?
Now, would you be releasing that on Tezos? Or do you think you'd go a little bit more traditional that way?
You know, Retro has been telling me now for two years to start my journey. And I think the time just wasn't right.
Now seems to be the time. So I'm glad that I've I've chose to do it now either way.
But he's been telling me a lot of things and giving me a lot of information about the space and what's possible.
And ever since releasing the first couple of NFTs on object, I just see limitless options.
It seems like the gatekeepers aren't there because in the publishing world, very similar to the film film world,
the gatekeepers will restrict you every step of the way, whether that be, you know, they don't, you know,
I've, for instance, I'll give you an example. I've had a recent story that I've sent to a publisher.
And it seems like you have to write something that will guarantee them an income.
So because the way they think is purely for the profit line and they won't take chances on something that they that is unknown to them,
even if they have no idea if that's going to make them make them money.
Things like rhyming books, they don't like because if you write a rhyming book in English, it can't be translated into other languages.
So your likelihood of getting funding to create that book is very low.
But it seems on here, the options are limitless. There's no there's no control from any other third party.
I can literally be a lot freer and looser with everything that I do. So there's nothing there is nothing stopping me.
The options seem seem limitless. So I know this is early times in my journey as a children's author on on the blockchain.
But I just yeah, my eyes have been opened. So I'm very thankful to retro for all the information encouragement for getting me to actually do this finally,
because yeah, the options are just limitless. I'm really looking forward to the future journeys with it.
So how has your experience with object been?
Very simple. I was surprised how simple it is to to mint and the actual physical nature of doing so.
It's I suppose it's been a lot easier for me because I've had a lot of help from retro love advice.
So whereas retro has told me when he got started, there was a lot, you know, he had to learn quickly.
But obviously, having someone who can help you navigate that space is is much, you know, much, much better.
And everyone that I've connected with so far, everyone's just so lovely.
I don't think from what I've heard that is the same on every blockchain.
I think Tezos is seems to be a lot more welcoming. And I've even heard a lot of people say that they actually think there's a really good opportunity for younger ones to actually, you know, use this space,
you know, possibly down the line, because it's a lot more family friendly, or it could be a lot more family friendly than than other spaces out there.
So that's really good to hear. It seems like there could be a good place.
And maybe other children's authors would or children's content creators would would join myself on that space.
But maybe there's other also artists out there who have wanted to get I mean, I speak to people on a on a daily basis in the publishing world who want to create things.
But they're obviously restricted. So they have all these ideas, and they can't put them forward because of, you know, the gatekeepers out there stopping them from being able to do so.
Some of these reason, quite well known authors, but their their capability to put forward new stories or new projects is very difficult.
But there might be artists and creators on here that wanted to get into the children's world. And I've never been able to do so because of those very same barriers.
And it that those barriers just won't be about, you know, won't be on the blockchains. It's, it's, yeah, they're just not there.
So I do think the options are going to be something exciting to see there could be some really exciting things to come.
Like I said, I can imagine some really good potential collaboration to help help myself get projects forward that I wanted to do for a while.
But more difficult to do when it's just you on your own, you know, especially if you don't have a publisher funding, you know, funding that process.
So that could be really interesting.
So if you were to, say, introduce another author to Tezos, what's something you could share with them that really I think the one thing that stands out the most about the experience, if you could summarize it?
I think the thing I would share with them first and foremost is the network of people and other collaborators and other artists that seem to be very supportive because that was something I haven't experienced out there in the world.
You don't, you don't get that support. And I think that is the thing which gives you the confidence to know that you're doing the right thing.
If that support wasn't there, I think it'd be a lot harder to know you were doing what you were doing was was even going to work.
I certainly wouldn't have a clue that releasing a children's book on on Tezos or an object would be, you know, would be something that would actually make sense to people.
But I, I think keeping it simple was was quite important. You know, what I'm offering, keeping that, keeping that offering simple so that people can understand it, made that, you know, a lot easier for people to understand what I'm offering them.
You know, the potential to get a thing for the first 10 collectors of the entire collection to get a limited edition copy of the book.
It gives them something, you know, something good to work on. And I think other children's authors out there would be able to see, you know, many options for them to be able to create, create books.
One thing that I've been thinking as well is a lot of self published authors may have to go to Kickstarter or other places to get their preliminary round of funding so that they can actually get books printed.
Well, with the blockchain, they wouldn't have to do that. And I think this is possibly the biggest selling point for it, because they could create their book.
They could release the book out, you know, similar way to the way that I'm releasing mine.
And they could get the funding to create the actual printed copies of that book from from what they they've earned off the blockchain.
Whereas you can't do that anywhere else. There's nowhere else that you can do that. You either have to get money fronted to you in advance by a publisher, and then they cover the costs of printing and everything.
And then you earn maybe one pence a book, one penny a book or whatever it might be off sales.
But in the real in the real world, there's no other option other than Kickstarter or something like that. So you can, you know, try and get people to give you the fun get the funding to be able to print the books and obviously printing books is very expensive.
Probably one of the most expensive, real world things you can get, you know, you can pay to get done.
But with the blockchain, you could actually achieve that in a much more natural way. It's quite simple, really, you you you sell your your images, those images create a book.
The book is available for everyone to purchase. But your collectors can receive, you know, a book or a limited amount of your collectors can receive a book, for instance, but the whole process could, you know, lend itself very well into being able to self publish your own work.
And that means there's limitless options for your stories that you can bring out and no one's telling you you can't bring that story out or you can't do this, you can't do that.
Whatever you want to do, you can do so. And then you've got the added element of the potential collaborations, you know, if you're a writer, there's all these lovely artists on the space that you could collaborate with to to put a book together.
And so, another thing stopping people in the real world, a lot of authors I speak to have all these stories that sit on the sit on their shelf or sit on their computer hard drive, not going anywhere for years because they simply can't pay for an illustrator to illustrate them.
They can't pay for a publisher to take on the project, which could be years after it's been wrote. And then that publisher assigns an illustrator to the project.
But with the blockchain, you could collab with someone and there you go, the books made. So an idea you have in your head that you want to work on, you write it, you share that maybe with a few potential collaborators.
They, you know, they really love the idea. They want to help with the project. So you get on it together and you pull it out there. For me, it seems, as I said, Freer and looser, there's nothing else to say, really.
It's just an amazing opportunity. So I'm just stoked. I can't wait for what's to come. I've got so many ideas of where this can go.
I know Retro keeps telling me, just take easy, though, because it's so exciting.
Don't overwhelm yourself, man. Don't burn out.
That's it. You know what, though, I must say, me and Retro, we don't ever burn out. We're finishers, so everything we've ever put our minds to, we've finished.
When you've got to do feature films and things like that, it's a very tough process. So anything we put our minds to, we always finish.
That is the thing I'll give us both credit for. But even with this, it just seems there's so much potential out there that I potentially could take on more than I can choose.
So it's nice to have you guys all here supporting me as a newbie, because I'm going to need that support to navigate the space and to make sure that I don't burn out.
So it is lovely to have that. And again, thank you for letting me come to speak.
Thanks for coming up here. I saw a hand there. Did you have a question you wanted to throw in?
No, I checked Uncle's work. And there are more tools you can use, like FX has articles for publications. Have it in mind for future plans.
I will send you a link. FX has articles. You can actually mint a token with a metadata open and add content to it.
It's as easy as making a blog post.
Oh, wow. That sounds very interesting.
Yeah, it's really facilitating. Of course, you need to adjust the prices and the additions of each token.
But the fact that until you log the metadata, you can add content to the same token, even if it sells.
It's really, really facilitating lots of stuff like comics and stuff. That's a really good idea.
Oh, wow. That sounds really good.
I will send you. Yeah, I will send you the link. Please do. Please do. That sounds that sounds great.
I have a comic which I am I'm working on. So that yeah, I'll have a look at that. Definitely.
It sounds great. Thank you. And feel free to DM me for anything. I'm glad to be of help with a little bit of whatever I've learned so far in here.
In some parts, I'm a newbie. In others, I know a couple of things a little. So yeah, I'll be glad to help.
And you're doing a good job. I've checked your PCs and it's about time because sales are lame and I can't get it right now.
But hopefully I will be able to sometime soon get some pieces of it.
Oh, thank you so much for your kind words as well.
Hash Browns. My man. Welcome to the stage. I saw you slide up. Welcome. Welcome. Part of which filling us in on what's going on in Seattle.
Do you have anything else? Maybe a new new development. Anything exciting you want to add going on?
I don't know what she said, but yeah, we got a lot of stuff going on. We got the Seattle thing.
We want to make it bigger and decentralized for people around the world. Try to get a little Greek chapter going.
One in Porto, one in Eastern United States, maybe one in Africa, Latin America, Asia.
So people are interested. Reach out. We want to coordinate with people.
Going to have a meeting with Peter, Nirvana, and Rubis of TTC tomorrow.
And Kryptonio is always in those chats. So I appreciate you guys being supporters of that.
And yeah, mostly, honestly, right now, just in the planning for season two of Tez Tones and actually a good amount of people in here were in that meeting.
Just trying to figure out a legal structure. Right now, reading up on worker-owned co-ops and stuff like that, worker-owned collectives.
I think that kind of vibes with it because it's the realization of having to have your Web 3 thing also maybe have some sort of legal structure.
So, you know, fun stuff. I know I'm bringing the vibe of the party up, but yeah, that's more or less what we've been focusing on off-season stuff.
Keeping it real, I appreciate that. At least you didn't mention Colombo, so I can't hold on.
Oh, I get it.
Don't go there.
Oh, well, we won't then, even though apparently I own Colombo.Tez.
So you just joined. Para had shared that you guys are doing the Seattle NFT.
NFT is the NFT Museum. Where is that?
Fennel would tell you better, but it's essentially it's like right, right downtown.
I think it's a few blocks from Pike Place, Pike Market, Pike Place downtown.
That is right downtown, definitely.
Yeah, so yeah, it's a Seattle NFT Museum. It's like at SEA NFT Museum, I think is the tag for it.
Yeah, pretty excited for that.
And we do want to open it up to like so much more of the community.
You know, if anyone can't make it or can't do their own thing, like let us know.
We have, I think it's like 30 plus screens.
So we want to have different showcases, different artists, not have just be a Tez Tones event, work with a bunch of different projects.
Have it be a place where you can say, hey, you guys, my art was shown.
It's, you know, downtown Seattle. Have it be a kind of cool thing for everyone and trying to just bring the community together.
You do kids books.
I mean, now that we know like an Uncle Brow Brow, which, you know, I got to say, you didn't come up to speak in our space.
So what's up with that? But no joke, but good to hear your voice.
I didn't know you're a bruv, Uncle Bruv bruv over there.
Sorry, brother. I didn't know whether I should because it sounded like a business sort of chat.
So I didn't know whether I should be in the space to be honest.
It's like, yeah, it's some rocky waters.
But, you know, just throw your last out there and if it don't break on the rocks, then you're good.
Yes. Sorry, that was nothing personal not to speak.
I just didn't know whether it was my place to do so.
Great to hear you and great to see what you're doing in the space.
Really, really support it.
Thank you, brother. Really appreciate that.
Well, I just want to reset everyone.
We are in a community call. We've been going for about an hour here.
I'm not sure how much longer you all want to keep drawing.
Does anybody else have some wonderful news they want to share?
I know there's constantly things going on.
But a whole ton of many coins around.
Yeah, the meme coin craze is going nuts. Just be careful out there.
Not financial advice. Just, you know, watch your ass. That's all I have to say.
Just get there.
Fandel, welcome to the stage. I saw your request. I went ahead and added you up here.
Hey, thank you so much for hosting the space.
And Uncle Barbara, I just want to say congratulations on coming to Tezos.
And I just hope that your journey is just as much fun as I'm having over here as well.
I've been here doing music NFTs since spring of 2021.
And yeah, I was just going to kind of go off of what Hash Brown was saying.
Tez Tones is hosting a live event at the NFT Museum.
It's just about three blocks from Pike Place Market. I work in the market, actually.
What do you do at the market?
I work for Sister Sage Herbs. It's a family business.
My partner's business, it's a natural remedies company.
We have a small farm.
That's awesome.
Yeah, we have a small farm on Vashon Island.
And we've been in business for 20 years.
And we've been at the market for 10 years.
And I mean, as you may know,
or if other folks don't know about Pike Place, it is really the soul of our city.
And Pike Place Market is in Seattle.
If you've ever seen them throwing fish, that's the place they throw the fish.
I don't know. Do they still throw the fish up there?
Yeah, they definitely still throw fish at that fish stand.
There are actually a couple more fish markets that are quite a lot better product.
But I digress.
But remember, it's the visual effects of watching people throw a giant fish
and then watch these guys not being able to catch it.
It's hilarious.
Oh, yeah.
And that's why people come down there.
They come down there for the show.
To watch them throw a fish.
They come down there to be entertained.
They come down to eat junk food.
The food is pretty good down there, man.
There's plenty of food.
I think I made it three blocks and I was full.
I ate at seven different places in three blocks.
There is plenty of wonderful food down there and some great restaurants.
Yeah, it's a great place.
And even better, there's a wonderful community of vendors and restaurant owners
and crafts and farmers like us.
There's just a really great community of people that work down there.
And I just love being down there.
Kind of my other life other than music.
But yeah, our event at the museum is on June 1st.
We want to invite anybody who's in the area to stop by and celebrate with us
and check out some nice stuff.
Can we be live streaming the event as well?
I think that is the plan.
And that's actually one of the things that I know that we're going to be talking about on Saturday.
I'm going to go and meet Jake, Tuna Kuna, who lives here.
And I've met once in person.
But yeah, we're going to visit the space and just kind of see what the space looks like.
And yeah, I really want to live stream it or at least film during the event
and be able to share that.
So yeah, it should be a lot of fun.
And it's just really, really cool to have a Seattle Tezos event.
How cool is this to finally share our art and music?
Tashbron, do you want to add something?
The Pine the Sky Dream is to get here and now and beats or someone else to also run a metaverse
experience where we could A, live stream some things, but also for each event.
Have that one place you could go and then check out what's going on in Seattle,
check out what's going on East Coast, check out what's going on across the pond,
wherever it's at.
And have that be like one central, decentralized repository for it in the
metaverse or something like that.
Who knows if we'll actually do it.
But if you have skills, I want to help with that.
Help us make it happen.
We're trying to get some budget and stuff to get us all going and just build
something where like all these people who are either physically here or can't
make it can have some sort of representation somehow and just connect it
all, you know, whether or not it's going to work well or not.
Well, can we start getting the ball rolling?
Now, if we want to get involved on some level, who should we reach out to?
For now, I want to say messaging the Teztones account.
This account would probably be pretty good or Fendal or Podoxamo or anyone
involved with Teztones or I mean, you know, in theory, you guys, right?
Like I want to, I want to talk to you about that.
So anyone.
Or our Discord.
Oh, yeah, or Discord.
I was just told that the link wasn't working again today.
And I swear we do the unlimited ones, but they're never actually unlimited.
So that's a beast we need to battle.
But worst case message, Justin, we'll get you a link.
Yeah, Discord can be funky like that, especially if multiple links are
generated, then you're just going to stand.
Yeah, it's strange.
All right.
Well, anyone else have anything they want to share from the community at all?
I mean, this is a community call.
This is all about you guys.
So far, we've had the pleasure of meeting Schwamas, introduced us to an old,
old project on Tezos from years back.
Appreciate you being here, my man.
Para cam.
Hello, Para.
Yes, something to share.
Please, let's follow each other, please.
Later tonight on BeatSpace, the WX8 space, Wwise is going to run.
I think it's worth listening to that space tonight.
What time is Wwise's space?
Oh, it's 3 a.m.
I don't know.
That's 6 o'clock Eastern or 9 o'clock Eastern.
Yeah, I will post the link on the comments here.
Yes, Schwamas, I followed you, buddy.
That was not a thumbs down.
I had to giggle.
You're funny.
Well, thank you so much for the space, guys.
It was a pleasure.
I listened to my stuff.
And I wish the best success in Charlotte to Tezos community.
Appreciate you being here, Schwamas, and appreciate everything.
Definitely.
Oh, let's get a Dubai event going off.
I have a friend in Dubai, actually.
We just need to connect a couple of you.
See, Schwamas, we just need to put you in the right company.
Yeah, we need to do this.
All right.
Retro shared about his visual spaces.
Folks, if you're out there and you want to share, we've got video space
available.
Now, is that only on the iPhone retro or are you doing that on an
Are you doing that through PC?
How are you doing that?
That's on Android at the moment.
Beautiful.
So that just mobile device then don't want to do the desktop
client, I'm guessing.
I don't think there's a way.
I haven't seen a way to do on desktop, to be honest.
I don't think there's a way to make that most accessible.
All right.
And then we got to meet uncle brow brows.
Man, congratulations.
Welcome to the community.
The Tesla's community is one that is sort of hidden from the world.
It's sad.
It's almost like we keep it secret, but we shouldn't.
We should be sharing it with everyone.
I'm selfish in that I love to almost keep the secret.
You know, it's great that you're here, man.
And yes, the excitement is real.
The division is real.
Well, the things that you're feeling and seeing, these are
real things.
They exist there.
You're not hallucinating.
We all saw them when we first got here.
We still see them to this day.
So Fandel.
Yes, buddy.
Yeah, I was just wondering, you know, do you have any
information for us about, you know, new innovations on
technology?
The biggest thing that I'm excited about is when I'm
seeing Arthur doing AMAs and people are getting excited
about actually asking him questions.
The things that I'm excited about is less the technological,
although the technological stuff is outstanding.
To talk about technology, though, is to alienate 99%
of people in this conversation.
And what gets me excited is how we're able to start connecting
with people outside of our bubble.
That's what's really exciting.
We're innovating on a level that allows us to reach outside
of this echo chamber that, unfortunately, we trap
ourselves in.
What excites me the most is when I hear somebody saying,
let's connect in Seattle, Dubai, Greece, let's put it
all together and do it all together at one time.
That makes me want to drive 1,200 miles north to make
this thing happen.
That's the sort of thing that moves people's hearts.
And that, to me, is the most exciting thing that I'm
seeing happening in the ecosystem right now.
We haven't had moments like that on my side of the
I know Europe has been blessed.
You guys are very close proximity.
Middle East has also been blessed because you've got
that mobility and that locality.
But us in the U.S., we've been so sort of isolated
because of our weird laws.
So it's been very difficult getting excited.
So when I look at the grand landscape of what's going
on, I see a place where we might actually start
creating an international community that genuinely
is pushing something meaningful as opposed to just a
product that happens to work well.
Do you know?
Also, really quickly to bounce off that, I think the
next Arthur AMA is tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Pacific time.
Let me see the UTC.
I just got off of it.
4 p.m. UTC.
Is that correct?
You just read it off, did you?
I believe so.
Well, that's the Tezos AMA.
It says Arthur Brightman, Nomadic Labs Engineers.
So, yeah.
Yeah, that would be the next one that I saw
scheduled, I believe.
Wonderful.
I always miss those.
I just want to announce that to other people in
case you're not following the right accounts.
Yeah, go check it out.
I'm going to try to check it out.
So, see you there.
Hara, I saw your hand up.
Is it true that in some states, Tezos was not a
lot to be purchased by exchange marketplaces
until very recently, like last summer or something?
Yeah, yeah.
It's very difficult to get listed in New York.
And if you get listed in New York, which Tezos is,
you have jumped through many, many, many, many hoops.
You know why?
Was there a reason for that?
Like they did allow other crypto, didn't they?
It's considered consumer protections.
I don't know why.
I couldn't tell you.
I do know that it is a way for people to
certify certain products as acceptable in an
investment situation, if you will.
Oh, and I took the liberty and paint the Arthur
space from the Tezos community.
Two posts from Tezos community, Tezos Commons
page here, if anyone is interested.
That Arthur space you said about and another
kind of interesting thing.
Thank you, Pada.
I appreciate that.
You're welcome.
All right.
Well, does anyone have anything else they want to share?
Is anybody just joining now?
I love the Tezos community.
It's the best place for an artist to be creative
and to grow and to learn and collaborate and even
learn some tech stuff.
It's so thrilling.
I mean, even if the markets are down and nothing
moves, there's always some movement and making
friends and learning new things.
And it's so, so exciting always.
It's been two, almost two and a half years now
And it's a nonstop, great experience in here.
I wouldn't change it for anything, for all the
money in the world.
Well, we love you, Pada, and we're blessed to have
So thank you for being here.
I'm more blessed.
I have more than one.
And that really honestly goes for everybody in
Tezos, honestly.
We are very lucky to have found this place, this
technology, this community in general.
I would not be in crypto if it wasn't for XTZ.
It was XTZ that actually kept me from quitting.
So it is one of those spaces that I do have a
soft spot in my heart personally for.
So I appreciate all of you today for sharing
Retro, thank you so much, man.
So tell me, is it extra taxing to add the video
in or do you feel like it's about the same as
broadcasting just sound?
I think it's just a different way of thinking.
But I'm still working and I'm just talking as
I'm doing it.
So I'm enjoying it so far.
I think when I stop enjoying it, I'll stop doing
But yeah, I'm feeling it at the moment.
Now, does your background in film make it a
little easier to just jump right in at first?
Probably, I don't know.
Yeah, maybe.
I don't see many people experimenting with the
video and I was really just super impressed to
see you up there every day, man, plugging away,
just making that commitment and showcasing what's
going on.
So good for you.
I actually saw, you know, Lily White from Tess
Yeah, she was the first one that I saw doing
So I thought it took me a while to get my head
But yeah, I thought I'd give it a try as well.
So yeah, shout out to Lily White.
Look at that.
The community uplifting the community without
even knowing.
That's awesome.
Hash browns, man.
Thank you for joining.
I know you've been busy, like you said, you have
all this wonderful legal jargon spewing out of
your mouth and it's kind of charming.
So this part of the whole thing, I mean, you've
been around music and you've been around the
industry and you know how legalities work.
It's one of those unspoken things where you
pretend like you don't have to deal with it,
but it is something that you've dealt with.
Is this Web 3 space, is it overwhelming
compared to the traditional space at all?
No, Web 3 is so much better because Web 3,
everything's like relative.
I mean, a lot of it's immutable, but it's
still relatively flexible.
You know, like I hate the legal framework.
I would launch a million startups from 0 to 1
before I'd take one from 1 to 10.
You know, like that next bit of legal stuff
where it's like, oh, shares and oh, oh,
shush, shush, shush, shush, shush.
But no, we're going to get through it.
We're going to get through it.
But no, like I would.
Yeah, no, the tech side, the Web 3 side is
the fun, easy stuff comparatively, in my opinion.
That's awesome.
That's a great perspective too.
It makes it a little easier to push forward
into the end.
Paro, what's up, girl?
Also, DNS is very close to the official
launching of the new site, which has
some breakthroughs.
So get ready for something really interesting
based on Tezos, starting with Tezos
from there as well, especially with music.
You know, DNS has always been a fun voice
of music, and they try to build a site
that will support musicians and video artists
in general, maybe, in many ways,
combining Web 2 traits with Web 3 traits.
So yeah, we're retro is there and hash brown is there.
We're better testing the bugs
and all the crazy stuff in there,
but it sounds really interesting.
It's really cool.
And as a thing like having a tweeter on IPFS,
like the posts posted on IPFS is really
a great idea, in my head at least.
So yeah, we're pretty close to get a new site.
Well, you don't have to tell me if you're not allowed to,
but how long have you been testing this out?
They've been working it for a year now, I think.
Almost a year.
I've joined the beta for over a month now.
And in that month, what kind of changes have you seen, Para?
Well, as far as the ability to sell and purchase
the artworks that are there, that are posted there,
a great thing.
The DNS team always hears the needs of the people
that will be using the site.
That's what I initially appreciated on the old site as well.
Early 2022, we were asking for a music player somewhere
on the marketplaces, and DNS, they heard it.
And a couple of days afterwards, it was there on the site,
and we could make playlists and just listen
to our favorite music.
Back then, they were indexing all the NFTs
from all marketplaces, so we could make playlists
of all the music that was minted on Tezos.
And yeah, lots of things about how things work,
how posts work.
We're getting a pretty decent site, which is a huge work,
as I said, because my nephew is a programmer
trying to do something similar for a project
for his studies, and he probably is giving up.
So yeah, it's a monstrous work as far as coding
on the backend is involved.
And we are demanding asking for this or that
or this or that, and we're just making them work
harder and harder.
And Retro might add to that.
I mean, we are debugging lately with Retro, some minor issues.
Yeah, Retro.
Yeah, I just want to second what Para was saying.
I'm really excited for DNS.
Yeah, we've been kind of relentlessly telling them
everything that's wrong, and I kind of feel bad
for the devs, but they've been brilliant.
But in terms of the changes, it's kind of the best
of both worlds, like bridging the idea
of traditional social media, how we understand it
and how it can work.
But I love the fact that they're bringing a new way.
It feels like they're changing the game.
And I know with Warpcast, I've been quite critical of it.
I'm sure there's good stuff there as well.
But from what I've seen with something like Warpcast,
it's kind of, and even some of the other social media sites
that popped up like Blue Sky and whatever,
it's kind of filling the hole that people are feeling
from the whole 2021, 22 bull market
where they were getting engagement for everything.
And then now that engagement's dropped,
they need another platform to fill that hole.
And that's just my honest opinion.
It sounds a little harsh, but that's what I can see.
With what DNS is doing, what I love is that it's very Tezos
in their approach because they've slowly been building.
They've been in the community for years figuring out
what it is that everyone needs and what's going to work
and what's going to actually be functional for people
when this becomes a new kind of market
using something like Tezos.
And so I'm really excited how they've been putting this together.
This isn't like an overnight pop-up.
Let's just create something that will steal people away
from Twitter or anything like that.
This is actually something that is going to work,
and they're very serious about making sure
that it's a good product that is innovative
and doing something that hasn't been done before.
And it actually will serve people
who are using Tezos at the moment.
So yeah, I can't say enough good things about it.
And I think you've got to give it some time
because they've probably still, after launch,
they'll still be fixing things here and there.
But I think that's goes part in parcel
with anything kind of innovative.
And I think I'm just hopeful that a lot of people from Tezos
are going to go and start using it.
And even better, people from outside of Tezos
are going to start using it
because it's very like a platform
that's going to break down those walls.
That's what I'm seeing.
So yeah, I'm excited.
Yeah, and the idea they have in mind
is to bring together the abilities of Spotify, Patreon,
some other things I don't know what they are,
marketplaces of blockchain, Tezos blockchain,
Twitter functionality, all in one,
serving the best way towards all kinds of artists
and the respect they show to artists.
For me, it's how things should be working,
like developers and artists should collaborate,
or people that need to use an application
should collaborate and make the best out of the work
that is put there.
They are doing it like that.
And I do appreciate people working like that
in general in my life.
Well, it sounds like they are definitely hitting
all the right spots in your brain
with what they're doing,
even though you're beta testing.
Usually in a beta test, I want to rip my hair out.
So it sounds like something's going fairly well.
If you have a good team to work with,
that makes a huge difference.
I will say that if you know what I mean.
Well, Fandel, thank you for...
Also Teja has lots of improvements.
They have voted in for the ability
to meet MIDI files
and to bring back something, you know,
typed art has closed
and they voted in to bring something
like typed art with for text
and aside things, tokens to be minted
and they're working on it.
So many creative things happening.
Lots of devs are breaking their heads off.
So we're going to say lots of great things
that will be tools, things from many platforms
that will be everyone there to use,
for everyone to use and it's interesting.
That's why people that are disheartened
by the low market sales and stuff,
they shouldn't be, they should focus on their art.
Start thinking how to bring people in,
not using the tech terminology that scares people
that are not into crypto or web3,
but just it's a market for innovation
and a world of innovation
that everyone should start getting acquainted with.
Hey, Fandel, go ahead.
Yeah, I was just curious about Teja's application
of using MIDI.
Like I've never really heard about that
or like I'm just not sure why that means for musicians.
Like I use MIDI, maybe retro,
maybe you can explain that further,
but as a music producer,
it's pretty much just WAV files for me
unless it's an MP3 for developers.
But over to you.
So I think Ryan Tanaka would be the person to ask,
but as I understand it, it's MIDI and text,
they want to have, I think, on chain,
and correct me if I'm wrong, if I'm completely wrong,
but because MIDI files can be so small,
so I think effectively you can mint them on chain,
something like that.
Hashbrowns, weren't you with me, Krombo?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Essentially, yeah.
It's like looking at stuff like kind of like Chiptune,
where I was also talking to someone
building on ordinals with this,
where yeah, exactly what Fendl, or Fendl,
retro was saying where you get like a tiny,
you know, like kilobyte file sizes
that just orchestrated out,
like kind of how, you know, flash video used to be,
it wasn't the actual images,
it just told you where the coordinates needed to be.
And then the thing would be working out,
figuring out some sort of player
that then the repository goes and interacts with,
where you would upload that to some sort of chain
or something in the cloud,
or just have the in-chain data,
which would be the MIDI itself,
then interact with that player.
But then, you know, yeah,
essentially it's kind of like Chiptune with very low-sized files
with just the data in it.
Sorry to interrupt, but Fendl,
it just makes me think that there's the music
that you worked on for me, for our collab.
I can imagine the Chiptune version of that,
that would be dope.
Yeah, I mean, you know, like,
it could be as a MIDI file, absolutely.
And you guys are absolutely correct, of course,
that those files are really, really small.
Yeah, I was just kind of curious about what,
you know, how that application,
why that application is relevant,
but that totally makes sense.
Yeah, thanks for sharing.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's all about on-chain inscription,
that whole idea of immutability.
It's there, you know.
We jokingly have those messages sent way back with Bitcoin.
And at this point, those messages are now
the caveman drawings of Wave 3, so, you know,
this is the next level.
Yeah, exactly.
Just, you're no longer, you know,
dependent on like IPFS or anything to store,
like all your data's on the chain written on.
So nothing at all can separate it from the chain.
Maybe the thing that would read the data,
if that's not burned in correctly, you know,
or if that was on-chain or not, the repository to then read it.
But the actual MIDI files themselves, you know,
would be stored forever in perpetuity
as long as the chain's, you know, running on some function.
So just kind of that nerdiness like that.
And I guess really quickly, for anyone who doesn't know,
Chiptune is kind of referencing like how on early,
like video game systems, like, you know,
Super Nintendo and stuff, they didn't have the sounds
on the cartridges of the game themselves,
since they had such little data.
So like the system itself had a chip
that had all the sounds in there.
And then the developers would just program like what MIDI is.
It's just a file that tells them which songs to,
or which sounds to press in which order.
So you don't have to store any of the actual data
of the sound files, which is the main, you know,
thing when you're downloading an MP3 or a wave
that is the data.
So it just sends it literally like, you know,
a text string that tells it when to hit which sounds.
So that's what gets it from like megabytes
down to literally kilobytes in these tiny little things.
It's like a text document, essentially.
Is it kind of like a music box with those little pegs
that hit the prongs?
Well, because music boxes essentially work off
of a piano roll, which is what player pianos used to use.
And there's actually a whole really cool history
of mechanical reproduction of people playing.
And at the later end of piano rolls,
it wasn't just perforations that had note on or off.
They actually had like levels to it,
kind of like MIDI where it's, you know,
detects how hard you hit something.
So they actually had these really amazing,
really accurate piano rolls, which in my opinion,
if you have it done well, is way better than having
a recording because that's just playing through a speaker
as opposed to literally plugging it into a piano
and seeing essentially the keys move in the exact way
that the player played it.
Like it's actually some really frickin' cool automation
stuff when you break it down,
like the old mechanical ways that they had automation
for music.
But yeah, it's essentially that stuff
to not nerd out too much.
It's no different from a DAW though, right?
Because it's like the orchestra was in the console
in that sense.
And the DAW is the same thing, isn't it?
Where you kind of program it,
but all the instruments belong in the DAW
until you export it as a worth.
Yeah, dude, it's crazy.
I mean, we're just, you know, microcosms,
like we're changing, but you look back at history
and you're like, oh, it's not that different really.
Well, I hope that answered your question, Fendal.
We kind of went deep into that one.
Absolutely.
No, that totally clarifies it for me.
You know, thank you guys.
Appreciate it.
Well, does anyone else have any other questions?
Audience included, if anybody else out there.
I will take this time to remind everyone to subscribe
to the baking sheet for all your Tezos updates
and news information.
Also too, don't forget about the Tezos rewards program.
Every month we're giving away up to 5,000 Tez
for people who are making an impact in our community.
Be sure to nominate your favorite people in the space
and those that you think are making an impact,
because we want to reward them and we want to showcase
and spotlight what's going on in their life as well.
Well, we are coming close to the end of our 73rd episode
of Tuesday Tez Day.
It is a community call, which means it's all about you guys.
We had some fun, spicy conversation early on.
We have met a lot of great people today.
Uncle Braa Braa, thank you so much for coming out, man.
Your enthusiasm is utterly infectious.
It is exciting.
It's what we need.
And it's wild because I can feel a weird animosity
just in the air based on price action.
And for those of us who've been in the space for a little bit,
we giggle because that's kind of the time when you find out
who's really excited about what they see
and who is in it just kind of to see the number go we.
And it's really exciting, man, to meet people like you.
So thank you so much for coming up here, man.
Appreciate you.
Thank you very much.
Really appreciate it.
So I think unless anyone else has anything else they'd like to add,
I believe we're going to call this one Arapara.
Do you have anything else you want to add?
I think I will post the guys to get a kalimba along in Seattle events
so you will be super happy there if you manage to go.
You will definitely see me perk right up and get very stiff.
It's going to be hilarious.
Much love to everyone.
Thank you very much.
Well, thank you all for coming out today.
It has been an absolute joy hosting.
This is one of the best things I do all week long.
I look forward to it every week.
Thank you so much for taking your time and sharing it with me.
From us here at Tezos Commons,
we want to wish you an amazing, amazing day,
amazing evening, amazing night, afternoon, wherever you are.
And thank you so much for everything you do here in the Tezos community.
