I see this project as the perfect example of devs seeing a narrative in crypto and saying ‘not only can CKB do this, but it can do it better than anywhere else.’
This is what building on CKB should be all about and we need to support these projects fully, otherwise what are we even waiting for here?
Thank you for your interest in our proposal and for raising these questions.
Regarding the products and plans you mentioned,
Omiga is a CKB inscription protocol and we will deploy the type script of the Omiga protocol on the mainnet. CKB browser/JoyID will support the inscriptions minted by the Omiga protocol.
Additionally, we will open our OpenAPI interface, which allows any third party to develop Omiga inscriptions based on these interfaces.
Omiga will also launch its own marketplace to meet users’ transactional needs for inscriptions.
Finally, we will continue to explore innovative ways to use different inscriptions (such as SporeNFT, PoW) and integrate them into the Omiga protocol.
These are our plans, and we welcome the community to provide more suggestions and opinions to help us better plan and build a better Omiga.
We understand your concerns, but you know, due to different regulations in various regions, we are unable to disclose information about our team and past project experiences. We hope that community members can understand our predicament and allow us to move forward.
Regarding the budget amount, our budget is 65,000 USD, which will be paid in the form of CKB. We will provide some details later. We hope this answer can resolve your doubts. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
Please answer my previous question first, thank you!
In response to your answer to Neon’s question:
‘We understand your concerns, but you know, due to different regulations in various regions, we are unable to disclose information about our team and past project experiences. We hope that community members can understand our predicament and allow us to move forward.’
If I am to understand your predicament, then the total budget and specific items should be detailed and implemented progressively, to ensure the safety of the DAO funds. My concerns are deepening.
非常感谢你对市场运营的重视和您的建议。我非常认同你的观点,并在Omiga项目中采取相应的措施来推广和营销。我们将尽快推出交易市场,让前期参与者获得收益,并且我们也会发布媒体快讯新闻、输出视频、文本教程等,以及进入铭文组织内部进行宣传和布道,同时在产品层面,我们还会支持Unisat钱包用户登录Omiga,让用户切身地感受到CKB是比特币理想的Layer2。我们相信这些措施将有助于增强项目的关注度,让更多人参与进来。如果你有任何其他问题或建议,请随时与我们联系。
Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions. I completely agree with your point that the success of the Omiga project is not solely dependent on the ability to create inscriptions. The core of a successful inscriptions project lies in the marketing and operational capabilities, which unfortunately was not discussed in the proposal. This is also a key issue in the continuous operation failure of CKB ecological projects. We will work on addressing this issue by implementing various measures, including launching a trading market, releasing media news, creating video and text tutorials, promoting Omiga within inscriptions organizations, and supporting Unisat wallet users to log in to Omiga. We believe that these measures will help to increase the project’s visibility and attract more participants.
Regarding the budget, we understand that other Drc20 and Brc20 projects have also developed inscriptions platforms with good features. However, the development difficulty varies depending on the blockchain. CKB is a completely different system, and we need to use Rust and C language to implement our smart contract code, which requires a high level of developer skills. In addition, UTXO programming is very difficult, and we need to handle different type scripts, combine transactions based on different transaction types, and choose inputs and outputs. Therefore, the development cost of similar functions on different blockchains cannot be compared.
We also appreciate the work done by JoyGift, but their project did not involve smart contracts. We are dealing with a much more complex project, and there will be more areas where we need to spend money. Our budget also includes the cost of Omiga servers (database, API service) and community building, such as inviting long-term community members to join us and giving them CKB incentives.
Regarding the payment of fees, we will refine the milestones and provide more detailed explanations. We understand that there were some basic functionality errors during the beta testing phase, but we had to quickly release the beta version to allow the community to see our progress. We encountered an issue with an iOS user not being able to pop up the signature box, but we worked closely with JoyID to find a solution and ultimately resolved the issue. We then updated the community through Twitter and Telegram. We only submitted the proposal to the community after ensuring that the issue had been fixed.
We have no affiliation with the CKBI team. Their implementation method involves sending messages to a fixed address of the CKBI developer without type script or lock script restrictions. This may be due to the difficulty of contract development. Although we do not agree with their implementation method, we appreciate that there are people in the community who are willing to try CKB development and cultivate more CKB developers, which is good for the CKB community.
Thanks for your time and for giving reasonable suggestions.
首先要说明的是,这个基本功能BUG问题是我第一个测试出来“报错提示”并发送给测试组的,有Telegram记录可以证明,当然,还有我提供的其他报错目前还没被证实解决。所以当Neon提出了他的疑问以后,我发现我之前太相信社区关于你们的正面宣传,选择了盲从,而失去了自由思辨。
Firstly, it should be noted that I was the first to test and identify the ‘error message’ bug in the basic functionality, which I reported to the test group. This can be proven with Telegram records. Of course, other errors I reported have not yet been confirmed as resolved. Therefore, when Neon raised his concerns, I realized that I had been too trusting of the community’s positive promotion about you and had chosen to follow blindly, losing my free and independent thought.
没有回答核心问题,没有任何证明有能力将铭文推起来。前期参与者获得收益,如果没有核心的单一目标铭文推广运营能力,依然会重蹈覆辙。我最近一直在听铭文社区的各种宣传,我觉得大部分预算应该用在铭文社区的建设和单一目标铭文的曝光上,否则,这么多铭文平台,能够成功的有几个?
There’s no response addressing the core issue; there is no proof of the capability to successfully promote inscriptions. Early participants might profit, but without the core focus of inscription promotion and operational capabilities, it’s likely to repeat past mistakes. I’ve been listening to various promotions in the inscription community recently, and I believe that most of the budget should be allocated to building the inscription community and focusing on the exposure of targeted inscriptions. Otherwise, with so many inscription platforms, how many can truly succeed?
社区建设,需要更详细的计划。对于铭文赛道来说,我的理解是社区建设远远比平台建设重要。
希望贵团队展现出更强的实力,让我们散户投资者更相信你们。
Community development requires a more detailed plan. In my view, for the inscription sector, community development is far more important than platform development.
I hope your team can demonstrate stronger capabilities to instill greater confidence in us, the retail investors.
As a CKB supporter and a retail investor deeply trapped in losses, I naturally hope for more and better CKB ecosystem projects. However, given the numerous failed projects in the CKB ecosystem before, and drawing from my experience of several years in IT budget special audit, having audited several hundred million RMB in IT budgets, my extensive experience tells me that the budget should be released step by step, especially when there is insufficient textual support and examples. Although the CKB community is currently very eager for inscription projects, considering the numerous failures in CKB ecosystem projects, we cannot afford another easy failure.Drawing an analogy from a scene in the movie ‘The Warlords’, where a general in charge of only 1500 soldiers refuses to join the battle until he is sure it can be won, as ‘We desperately need a victory’.
Every community member has a duty to protect the community funds. Treating every project equally is essential to ensure the survival of CKB.
Based on this, I suggest that your project team could request a budget of less than 20,000 USD for the first phase (less than a third of the total project amount). After delivering this phase, you could then apply for the budget for the second and third phases, to ensure the overall stability and controllability of the project.
PS: The Spore Protocol project only requested 510,000 CKB, while this one is asking for 18 million CKB. This presents an unequal comparison when benchmarked horizontally. How would the developers of the Spore project, who have even shown their faces, view this if such a budget is approved?
fully support omiga on applying for grant, this is exactly the kind of projects grant should fund. if we don’t fund it, does anyone have better idea on what to fund? the reality is there are so few people can and want to build on nervos, to the people saying no, how about you build something and apply for the grant?
