AIP-479: Coffee with Captain Powered by $APE on ApeChain

Final AIPs Accepted AIPs

Well, that’s so very kind of you.

Did you hear about our $5.5M sponsorship of an F1 team? Do you know how we measured the success or failure of that one?

  1. Take a look at the treasury and deduct $5.5M from whatever number you see
  2. Take a look at the on-going performance of the F1 team
  3. Take a look at the on-going performance of the token since the AIP passed

Kidding aside, I would be shocked if there was any way to measure the success or failure of a Spaces on X, other than the average number of listeners over the span of the session. This is because X doesn’t track or show viewing metrics. I asked Elon about that awhile back; it’s probably time to go ping him about it again.

Go get @Lost . If he says he’s in, there’s your initial measure of success as far as the community is concerned. Not even kidding about that.

As to the span, the ask etc. I would go with a ThankApe model whereby you do a yearly ask, then come back for a renewal. Remember, this is a sponsorship gig; and so, your ask has to be commensurate with the reach of your show.

That said, the singular friction that I see is that a sponsorship tends to be a mention, visual etc. then the show goes on. With Spaces, it’s the same thing - and probably a link at the top to ApeCoin resources etc. So, there’s a chance that unless the show specifically has a segment about our community, it’s not likely to be attractive to the community of people who don’t go to your show anyway. And that’s why I had suggested a specific day or segment targeted at the community itself. How the regulars on your show react to that, is the risk you take - especially how long such a segment lasts, what day it’s on etc.

Remember, you’re dealing with a community that has traditionally voted down proposals like this - even when put up by people right here in the community. As I mentioned over in my community voting wallet proposal, the voting turnout has gone gone from poor to abysmal because very few even bother. So, you’re left dealing with whales, and the few influential wallets.

It’s going to be tough because at the end of the day, it all boils down to “trust me, bro” - and ofc, your name and credibility.

This proposal is live for vote on Snapshot. The voting period closes 13 days from now at 9PM EST.

The AIP implementation is administered by the Ape Foundation. Implementation may be immaterially or materially altered to optimize for security, usability, to protect APE holders, and otherwise to effect the intent of the AIP. Any material deviations from an AIP, as initially approved, will be disclosed to the APE holder community.

39

Ask is very reasonable. What timezone or timezones do you plan to have the X spaces in?

There’s always resistance for AIP that don’t include ApeCoin/Apechain. The problem with that is that it leads to not reaching out of our own eco chamber. You’re Spaces does this and it’s so important.
