[ANN] The DAO that changes Art in crypto forever. (deflationary, 1st mint)

[whois$emily]

WhoIs$Emily: The DAO that changes Art in crypto forever.

Update 16.01.2023: our Genesis $Emily NFT is available fort mint now. Only 100 artworks are available in the Genesis phase, for only 0.0077 ETH (less than 10$/ Genesis mint).  
The next phase will be 0.077 ETH/ artwork. ----> https://www.Mint.WholsEmily.com

This is not just a series of paintings, but a monument to infinity ∞.
This is not just a beautiful portrait but a key to a performance that will last for the rest of the artworks life.
Holding Emily will grant you exclusive access to the community Syndicate that decides on treasury expenditures.

About the $EMILY NFT/ why it is good to have one:

• Unique:
  No Emily will ever be the same, carefully designed elements are randomly merged together by our art engine to create a one of a kind artwork.
  
• Deflationary:
  Once a month, a portion of the second-market royalties will be used to perform market buy backs and a subsequent burn of the acquired artworks.
  
• Creative:
  Take part in art exhibitions in the meta verse and real world.  
• Be Part of the Team:
  Have a vote on what the funds of the $EMILY DAO are spent.
  

Owning a portrait will make it possible to access and reap the benefits of the syndicate.


Roadmap:

• Phase 1: Building the Foundation:
  Following the reveal of the public drop, a community Syndicate will be established and 50% of the initial revenue will be split between the DAO and our Incubation wing.
  
• Phase 2: Framing & Burn:
  V1 of the Framing Marketplace is released to the public. Emily holders are able to curate the Genesis/Public Gallery experience by exhibiting their favorite NFT’s.
  
• Phase 3: NFT Contest:
  Leveraging our existing infrastructure to help projects experiment and create new solutions. Emily will launch her first contest for all project founders in the NFT space. One winner will be selected to be incubated by our multidisciplinary studio.
  
• Phase 4: The $EMILY Syndicate HQ and Gallery:
  Building necessary infrastructure that will not only help Emily holders to exhibit and auction their works but help improve the whole traditional art/auction industry that is now riddled with countless inefficiencies.
  
• Phase 5: Collaborate and Innovate:
  We aspire to build innovative solutions to ensure the autonomous functioning of our DAO. Improving Syndicates governance protocol, codifying our burn mechanics, and securing treasuries long-term prosperity.
  
• The Endgame:
  Building an ecosystem of related business activities that complement each other and bring value back to the Syndicate.
  DAO's treasury, market royalties, collection & ecosystem revenue streams should give enough fuel to the syndicate to not only exist but to keep on thriving.
  
  

$EMILY Specifications:

• Total number of unique portraits: 10.000
• Core Attributes of the portraits: 7
• Possible variations: infinite
• Original traits: 100+

Your whitepaper is not accessible yet, why is that?

I'm also interested to know more about this statement,

Not only will Emily holders receive an exclusive Syndicate membership pass but will also unlock private access to the ecosystem of products from Peppermint Labs. Do not trust us? Trust the [sic]

I'll be honest and say that I've never heard about peppermint labs before, so I'm not familiar with it, but are you referring to this platform? A help desk?

Hello,

thanks for your interest in §EMILY.
We are currently updating the whitepaper to a new design that fits our identity better.  I can message you as soon as the new white paper is uploaded, however our vision is also described at other places on our website.

Thank you for the offer, but that's not necessary, just announce it here and I'll let myself know as I'm now watching this thread

As I am only the community manager my technical understanding of what peppermint labs are doing is kind of limited to more general terms:

Peppermint Labs is developing the "NFT Marketplace/ Exhibition Room. But it is not a marketplace like there are already thousands out there, no, they are developing something special.
We are partnering with them in order to offer a unique way to present self-made NFTs to our DAO members.  As described in the "benefits for token holders" section, regular online and real life exhibitions will be a big part of the $EMILY project. Our friends at peppermint labs are always discovering new and never seen before ways to interact with things that are known to all of us (for example NFT marketplaces).
I can guarantee you that this marketplace they are working on won't be even remotely comparable to anything you know.

They describe it like this:

This project is an interactive NFT framework meant for cultural institutions holding artist events.
The code is broken into a few projects, all orchestrated with docker-compose for simplicity.

(...)

The front-end webapp is configured for an interactive NFT event where attendees are given a blank canvas
to draw on, title, and describe.  The artist then receives these works and continues them, with ability
to modify final title and description.
Both attendee and artist are considered to be the creator of the asset, while the attendee receives the NFT
The front-end webapp could easily be modified to support a number of interactive art exhibit use cases such
as allowing an attendee to choose a pre-existing artwork from the artist for them to add their autograph to.

I hope that helps

For Peppermint Labs, perhaps I am accessing a different website than what you intended to show us. Can you share us a link to this platform so we can know better what's the platform and the products they're offering is about? The link you shared to us to read more is leading us to "artby.city" instead of peppermint labs.

As for the project itself, didn't mean to be rude, simply curious, wouldn't it be not too much different than those AI Image generator like this for example? Can you tell us more the key differences of what you offered with the existing platforms?

[whois$emily]

Hi,


why rude? you were not rude at all. I am the one who was caught off guard here. Please understand that I do not want to comment on the marketplace specifics until tomorrow when our devs are available again. I have already scheduled a briefing on that matter, I will get back to you as soon I can give you some specific answers ok? I should have expected that kind of questions from a forum like bitcointalk, I will let the devs handle the dev questions from now on

I once again excuse for the delay in answering your questions - I had a quick call with one of our devs an I can give you some concrete answers on your questions now.

As stated on our website, the goal of the WhoIsEmily project is to reimagine and improve the way Art is exhibited, transferred and created on blockchains.
The $EMILY Artwork NFT is a key that guarantees the wallet that has minted it a right to vote on financial and organisational matters in the DAO. Furthermore the owners of a Genesis $EMELY NFT will enjoy special privileges like the possibility to take part in digital and real life art exhibitions - decentralised art auctions and view together events are also planned.
DAO treasury is funded with a third of all the initial sales. In perpetuity, one-third of all the secondary market revenue is also directed toward the treasury.
This constellation will constantly improve the symbiosis between Art and the blockchain.

Thats where peppermint labs comes in. They provide us with their own NFT solutions that will take the NFT capabilities of our DAO members to the next level.
In this article there is a preview of which functions are planned and in development: https://www.whoisemily.com/post/future-ecosystem.

A good example for functions  a NFT showroom  should have:
Direct negotiation module for the contact with collectors, museums, and art galleries around the world (in development).


Peppermint Labs is experienced in working with NFT creators around the world, so far they provided the tech in the following NFT collections:

AdaArmy
Splitworld NFT
Raison D'etre
Ted Nation
Beast Boy Club
LoveLaceClub
Degen Bunnies
Ugly Bros
Phoenix Arena NFT
Clayaveras
Unbothered Wolves
Bluelist CNFT
Freaky Snakes
KWIC
Yummy Cupcakes (edited)
and many more...

My statement from the last post was not completely incorrect but unacceptably inaccurate, that's why I have removed it.

This blog entry lines out why you should definitely one of the $Emely NFTs by showing what you miss out if you don't: https://www.whoisemily.com/post/emilydao

Unfortunately I am not allowed to give out any more informations than we already have released on our website at the moment, but I can say that there are exciting times ahead for NFT enthusiasts.

I think it is safe to say we're on a different page of peppermint labs, and as I am currently swamped, I don't have time in my hand to look for it deeper, or about the reputation of the projects collaborating with them as you've listed for us. I'm shelving this matter for now, though, for a more intriguing matter.

The statement of special privileges in form of taking part in real life art exhibitions and decentralised art auctions, wouldn't it raise concerns such as cases in the past like An A.I.-Generated Picture Won an Art Prize. Artists Aren’t Happy or the most recent one, although "less controversial", Man Posts Photo Of Children's Book Co-Written By AI, Internet Divided?

In my personal opinion, ethical wise, coming from someone whom cantaloupe drawing can be very easily mistaken as a mishaped volleyball or... a surreal-sphere-shaped-interdimension-hole-that-expresses-the-artist's-protest-against-over-popullation, it's not fair that an AI generated image --or for your case, suppose you're different from deepai or midjourney as the art will be produced by artists instead of AI-- or a work done by someone can be claimed and auctioned as if it's the owner's own effort.

[whois$emily]

Yes, I totally get your point. We will change the formulation on our website as it is misleading in this point.
In my opinion, not speaking as part of the project, some points are however unique an new to NFT space.
I did not hear about a platform that enables artists to rent out masterpieces to exhibitons or a museum for example without having to use like 5 different servic/dapps all in one.


One thing I can say for sure, the Art community in the crypto space is in need of a platform that takes the wishes of creators seriously and actually implements them.


The WhoIsEmily DAO has one goal above all others: to create a platform where hobby painters and professionals can present, rent out and transfer their work.

I have great trust in our dev team, if we can iron out the occasional misunderstandings in communication (like above) the result will be an amazing platform and a strong DAO .

To everyone else:            

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday evening and dont forget: when its Wednesday there are only two days until its weekend again.

Also there are only two days left util our Genesis minting round for 5 MATIC/ NFT (less than 10$) is over. The second stage will be 50 MATIC/ NFT (approx. 50 USD) and start in an yet undisclosed time from now.  https://www.Mint.WholsEmily.com

Oh, as for the renting your masterpieces to museum or exhibition --this part must have slipped my mind before-- you're talking about a "real" art, right? You facilitate someone to ask artists to draw beautiful mountain shrouded by mist, painted in a sombre tone or a meadow so green that it's like heaven, a small silhouette of lone tree in the distance. Not a... cartoonish monkey with red hat and sunglasses and a joint on its mouth. What I tried to say is, your platform offered a service if "real" art instead of those... NFT images that's... absurd --not in the way of abstract-ism of an art branch-- right?

[whois$emily]

I think you are being a little bit too narrow minded here. I can think of many possible use cases.
The goal of our DAO is to explore and fund improvements for the NFT space, sometimes directly proposed by artists.
Our task in phase one of the project is bringing artists, art enthusiasts, marketers and dapp professionals on one table and gather a starting fund for the DAO - so we are more than on time

I am not saying we already have a solution for everything, but I think together with our artists, participants and partners we have a pretty good chance of making a difference.

ONLY 16 NFTs  LEFT IN PHASE ONE! GET YOURS NOW https://www.Mint.WholsEmily.com (<10$, price in next stage will be 5x this price).

I'd say it's more like... I'm fumbling in the dark, trying to grasp what you proposed. Maybe it'll be best to rest for now and just wait for your WP where a detailed explanation and plans and visions are served.

Hi, I'm here to catch things up, I remember correctly --well, because I read several posts above-- that your WP just need a redesign to better fits your *looking at notes* identity. I wonder if it's finished and ready for our consumption? It's been three weeks and you've already on a sale since then, it'll be nice to give us something concrete and thwart my concerns, that I'm sure is not needed.
