LOBS Analytics

[msirinotis]

Context: As mentioned in the chat by Ivan, the DAO will hold back from minting unclaimed LOBS (to save gas). Because of this it is assumed that OpenSea and the likes will only pick up the traits & rarity of the current supply and not include the (large portion) of the DAO's NFT's.

Proposal: This is a short proposal to generate analytics on the full set of the 6751 available LOBS.

I will generate for the full list of LOBS;

• Holder Address
• Image Link
• Rarity (%) of all traits
• Rarity Score
• Relative Rarity Ranking

See the below screenshot for an example of another collection;

Will also group the rarity score's by address so we can rank each address/member :1st_place_medal:

How: I'll parse the raw JSON metadata of all LOBS and provide the code & a spreadsheet of the above (that we can re-run adhoc). Holders will be able to filter down to their address and see the data across multiple LOBS.

Payment: I missed the bot claim by a few hours & DM'd days before the mint (before we saw the value..) and I want one of these fancy fucking crab claws an irrational amount. This is my way of giving back something to get one. So, 1 LOB from the treasury (my unclaimed one) for this.

It's likely this doesn't pass before Wednesday's reveal (let's be honest, I'll do the work anyway) but there is the issue of if this passes what LOB do I get? I'd like to keep it completely random. We can say that I get the direct next available LOBS id or even just do a random number generator of the DAO LOBS.. if a big brain has a better solution to randomise all the better.

Pros:

• Community building / hype for reveal
• Find out who has the biggest horseshoe
• See if Ivan gmi or ngmi
• Pray that some 3 post anon doesn't get the diamond claw together
• I will likely add more analytics to this in the future
• Keep track of flippers so we can bring out the guillotine
• See how much good art the DAO is sitting on

Cons:

• 1 LOB cost - given from treasury to community member.

Action:

• Post feedback if you want this to happen
• If enough interest, then we can make a snapshot

Awesome idea. I'd support a grant of 2 NFTs.

Good idea, fully support it. Let's brainstorm what else can you @msirinotis do for community 😏 Write a post, Sir after you do analytics.

Yeah, this is a good idea. I'll do a write up too.

Sounds good. If you will be making ongoing improvements, make a donation button for yourself and your helpers too.

Here's an example of fabulous work done by a dev: https://fabboard.vercel.app/pancakesquad utilizing different rarity scoring methods. Many ways to sort/filter and gives someone trading those nfts way too much advantage!

I don't expect your initial output to be like that, but just wanted to share it so you can see the possibilities.

idea is pretty good but is this a good way to donate 🦞,, need to brainstorm what comes next like somebody missed and will again ask for it using whatever 😬 buts its a good part of community building but i would rather ask for eth giveaways

[ethisscam]

First, thanks for the offer for contributing to the community with a LOBS analytics.

Here're some of my concerns:

1. For now a lobster NFT worths around 3ETH( value $10K). Even though the community needs an analytic for lobster, does it really cost so much?
2. Can you specify how much time you'll spend for such work so that we can evaluate how much to pay?
3. Although you're first to provide such contribution I wonder whether there're someone else in the community would like to do similar things with maybe less payment(such as $5K etc).

[msirinotis]

I won't comment on the value as I just want this to be about having fun and doing something for the community. The vote can decide if it's worthy or not.

Zhongfu kindly posted the ipfs locations & traits earlier so I've been working with those already.

Some pre-processing so far rather than just taking pure rarity.

• Add combination trait -> if has both custom artwork & signature (only 2.... rare)
• Preliminary weightings on different traits (we care way more about artwork/signature than mood)
• Condense typo's for 'untextured' gene's.
• Penalise Earth Circle 01, 06, 11 etc genes as they are common amongst each other

Some of highest ranking LOBS so far; The 2 art+signature combinations.

A rare non-signed piece

Rare non-artwork piece

A... not so rare piece

Upcoming work;

• Adjustments to ranking algorithm in line with lobsters values over pure rarity.
• Map all holders to the traits/ranking data once ID's are revealed.

Love the proposal, would vote yes! +1 add one more tbh, since you forgot to claim

[nickbtts]

Yes! This is great.

[edison0xyz]

Love the idea - am in support.

I second what etthiscam posted, I dont think this is worth the actual market price of Lobs (3 eth atm). Seems too expensive and I have already seen rarity ranks posted on chats.

I also think the DAO should hold off for some time to distribute unclaimed lobsters, dont find it prudent to start using them so early tbh, it should start using ETH royalties instead.

[tartakovsky]

@Fortuno89 the main argument here is not whether to reward ~$10k for a dashboard. @msirinotis was eligible to receive a lobster, but missed the opportunity. So the logic goes: he does work to help the community. DAO does work to fix his mistake and give him what's his.

[paolo-farellon]

Agree on this.

[msirinotis]

Ok, the snapshot period is over.

Firstly, thank you to all that voted and for such a high percentage of you voting to accept the proposal.

Given that the standardising governance issue is still under discussion - what are the next steps here?

Keep in mind this is meant to be as random as feasibly possible. I know there are constraints that now we know the VRF seed we know which token_id will be minted next but is there a way around this? DAO mints next 5-10 and we run a random number generator? Spit-balling here.

Looks good ser

This one was resolved, the man finally got his LOBS. Closing.
