Interview Q&A:

Interview: April 16, 2024

What are you working to accomplish before the end of the month?

We will be launching in 4 days! 4/202024 ! We will hopefully have ApeCoin Twitter Make an announcement however we every-time we submit a request it never happens. We will keep trying though! We have set up the NFTs and will begin scraping the wallet #'s and handing them out on 4/20/2024 ! Can see them here. ApeCoin Armory Club NFTs on Rarible: Buy, Sell and Trade

Have there been any delays or changes to the original timeline?

Yes sadly since was going to use ERC-721 C however we I spent months trying to figure out how to develop the code to allow it to give multiple NFTs after no luck then tested OpenSea and legit they removed the ability to create more then 20,000+ of each NFT lol. And since we will be giving out 150,000 to the first 150,000 ApeCoin holders that was not logically possible. Luckily Rareable team helped us save the day!

Do you have any updates regarding the budget?

Yes a ton sadly. I been getting a ton of sketchy emails from non @apecoin.com example @webslinger.io and @crestbridge.com ect asking me for a ton of personal information that can be used to hack my accounts in threats of “canceling” the AIP lol. It is hard to see if they are legit or not and since I only asked for $1 I don’t mind if I don’t get paid I guess, just an odd process if it is legit. I since I am doing this for basically free been trying to save up to afford the gas fees it is going to cost to give all these out. Fingers crossed.

How can the community support your initiative?

Would love tweets from the apecoin account and any engagement on them to get the word out! Also when we throw an event in Decentraland and Otherside would love everyone if they can attend to try out their shields in the Metaverse. Will be fun.

Do you have anything you would like to tell the community?

4/20 !!! Must get your Yuga Lab NFT or own at least 1 ApeCoin by then to qualify for the Free Drop! Tell your friends tell your kids tell your wife!

Do you provide consent to share these questions with the community in this forum?

Yes thanks a ton!

Interview: February 17, 2025
  1. Do you have any reports or updates you would like to share with the community?
    Yes! They will be linked into Decentraland 4/20 this year! We are trying to link them in other Metaverses too by them (Nifty Island, Sandbox, Otherside and more) so could be a fun event if we can accomplish by then. If know anyone can help with this def let us know if not all good Decentraland will be a great start!
  2. How can the community support your initiative?
    Aside from anyone knowing how we can link into other metaverses if anyone knows how we can raise funds to pay the gas fees to give these out? Since I only got $1 from the DAO it has been purly personally donated funds and time and I have gotten a second job to try to save up to pay the gas fees to give out these 150,000+ NFT shields and 69,000 NFTS on ApeChain but know it will cost a ton and been doing my best. I was told I could apply for apechain sponsor or something on the DAO and I did but they never responded so I think they did want to help which is all good. Plan B i can just have it where people can pay the gas fee if they want to redeem or something.
  3. Have there been any delays or changes to the original timeline? Yes, biggest delay is trying to earn enough money to pay these gas fees to give these out. I thought I could but a lot of my gigs fell through. I even got banned from applying to Mcdonalds and to be a Costco Lunch Lady since I applied to much. I may apply to get gas fees paid by the DAO but wanted to try to do it myself but my optimisum is starting to dwindle since my goal was 4/20 last year and I still am trying lol and I am starting to get realistic on that may never happen sadly lol.
  4. How can the community support your initiative?
    I just would like people to enjoy the sword and shield NFTs in the fun events we throwing in each metaverse when we launch them at the parties and share online if they want. It will get he word out to all people that may not even know they got the FREE ApeCoin Shield to begin with. Will be fun.
  5. What are you working to accomplish before the end of the month? I got kicked out of my apartment so after I find a place to live will be able to try to apply for more online gigs on top of my income I am making at my in person jobs.
  6. Do you have any updates regarding the budget? The budget I got was only $1 so ya I am obviously waaaay over budget hahaha. Been fun tho.
  7. Do you provide consent to share these questions with the community in this forum?
    Yes! Thanks again! :saluting_face:

@AaronLeupp.eth

What happened with this AIP?

These NFTS were they made available to holders?

Thanks for asking @bigbull !
Yes, they have been finished can see here ApeCoin Armory Club NFTs on Rarible: Buy, Sell and Trade they are available to holders anytime. However sadly since I only got paid $1 from the grant I can’t afford the gas fees to send them all out. I got a second job however and am saving up to one day send them out. Thank you for asking hopefully will have enough saved up and can send out soon!

Maybe could launch them on ApeChain? That would be very low gas fee, maybe a small grant could cover that? How much would the gas be on ETH mainnet?

I remember this one!

And good to see you back in here Aaron!! They actually look pretty fun!!!

What would the costs be surrounding the deployment of these?? Sounds like it might be something that the GWG x UMA On-Chain Small Grants Program Committee could look at; particularly given you asked for virtually nothing in return on your AIP.

If this is something you might consider as a viable option, I would encourage you to take a look!

Would love to help! And yes-yes-yes to @bigbull suggestion for ApeChain!!

Thanks @bigbull and @AllCityBAYC ! Yes 1000% down to try both. These are great ideas. I guess next step Plan A. As @AllCityBAYC I try to contact Small Grants Program Committee? Who are they? if fail then Plan B. Try on ApeChain with grant like @bigbull said. if fail too then Plan C. I continue saving up at my second job so will be all good .

Also for fun legit was testing them in Decentraland tester this week can see so I still very excited for it and know it will be tons of fun! Thanks again guys!

Also thank you @DIM for reaching out! I see you have a couple time slots between 4am and 7am my time on Monday. I work everyday and may have to work late on Sunday so do’t know if I will wake up in time to make one of those slots however if I do wake up from working late I will pick one ASAP as soon as I wake up since I do not want to waste your time if I do not. If not all good I will try to make another one of your time slots during the week to get on getting these in ASAP for Nifty island as well. Thank you! :saluting_face: :blue_heart:

Hi ApeCoin DAO,

The author of this AIP has completed production of their assets, and are available for free as advertised (minus gas fees, paid by the buyer) via this link.

This successfully concludes this AIP, and will be moved to the Implemented AIPs subcategory.

@Facilitators

how to mint, it only has option to make offer?

Shame this isn’t on ApeChain. Can it not be switched to an ApeChain mint?
