The Post
Hey Neighbors, we’re cooking up a lot of important features. I want to do a quick blog post about what to expect in the next couple of weeks.
Memories Memories are coming!
We aim to have V1 of Memories ready by Monday (3/28). This may slip a few days, but we’ll have it ready for Miami.
Memory icons on the map In the image above, we’re displaying where the memories are located. When you click on the Blox, you’ll see the memories in the Blox details view.
Memories in the Blox details The Memory on the Blox Details Panel has a Cover Image, Title, and the Author. We should also add the date of the Memory — I’ll work on this with Eng and UX.
Note : The UI is not final and our Eng team still needs to work on polishing the UI.
Create Memory modal The Create Memory modal allows you to add up to 10 images for a Memory. The creation process is straight forward and even has autosave for your convenience.
Get allowlisted for Memories in San Francisco or Miami If you have Memories in San Francisco or Miami, then we would like to allowlist you for the Memories feature. Ping me on Discord to get allowlisted.
Why : We are not going to open it up to everyone all at once. We’re going to slowly allowlist Neighbors to make sure it’s working properly.
Discord Bot If all goes well, we’ll launch Whitelist v3.0 on Monday (3/28).
The Whitelist v3.0 will place a heavy emphasis on moving away from XP and Leveling up through the MEE6 Bot and moving towards awarding through MetaRent with the Metablox Bot.
Here’s how it will work (pending UX improvement and tweaks on the Discord commands) :
Link your Metablox account to Discord with your username Verify that you have reserved a Blox (will get assigned a Discord Role) Awarding MetaRent for completing challenges Leaderboards for MetaRent and Blox reserved (and later owned when Minting launches) We’re working hard on launching the Discord Bot by Friday (3/15), but it’s very possible that the launch will carryover to next week.
Miami We’re going full speed ahead on Miami!
We’re super excited that jartalzgz and JG3 from the Neighborhood will be joining us. If you’d like to join too, we’re happy to host you at our Airbnb.
YouTube Live while in Miami We want to make this happen, but just need to figure out the logistics. We are renting out a cafe to host a dinner on Saturday (4/2) from 5pm — 8pm EST. This may be a great opportunity to host the dinner in person while streaming live for the Neighborhood.
I’ll keep you posted of course.
There is a lot to get ready for over the next two weeks. I’ll of course continue to be on Discord , but you’ll usually find me on late nights PST.
Much love to the Neighborhood!
