We are most grateful for the community feedback on option to complete the mint with Holder and FREE Mint Plans. The potential too have all of pixelpolyn8r work live on chain is exciting and likely going to be fun to watch.

After some additional context and discussion with Pixel we plan have one additional improvement to Plan B (see below Plan B2). Please share your thoughts, but I suspect everyone would agree so I’ll just plan to move forward in the interest of getting this LIVE asap and wait for critical feedback as needed.

First, the Holder Mint Start Date will be moved to next week. I’m targeting 12/16 through 12/18 and will follow up with the official date.

The FREE Mint Start Date and Mint End Dates remain unchanged atm but summarized below.

  • Holder Mint Start Date: targeting 12/16/2022 through 12/18/2022
  • FREE Mint Start Date: 1/1/2023
  • Mint End Date: 2/1/2023
Un-minted samples from 1007 through 9000

Plan B2: Plan B + New Diffusion Collection for the free Mints

The plan is exactly the same, except all of these new Mints will occur on a new collection “NEON PLEXUS: Diffusion”. The intent is to keep “NEON PLEXUS: Override” to 1006 Fabricant NFTs as the “OG” Collection. This Override collection is now locked on chain (still pending IPFS / Arweave).

The Diffusion collection will contain the remaining 1007 through 9000 Fabricant NFTs assuming the Mint completes using the same Plan B outlined below. There will be no metadata changes to these Fabricants.

This requires a bit more work for me for additional backend changes and NFT setup, but not extensive so I should be able to have it ready for the following weekend after some tests next week. I’m personally excited with this plan because I think it both acknowledges our existing community holders, but also allows for more discovery through the Diffusion collection of free mints.

In any case please reach out if you have additional feedback or thoughts, but I am moving forward with Plan B2 so far at least.

Thanks!

Plan B: 2 Phase Holder + Public Free Mints

Intent is to complete the 9000 Fabricant mint without need of overly complex changes.

  • Create a new Sale Contract
  • Phase 1: Holder Only Free Mint via etherscan.io
  • Phase 1: Limit to 3 Free Mints Per Fabricants 1 through 1006
  • Phase 1: Start 12/10/2022 next Saturday assuming no technical issues
  • Phase 2: Public Free Mint via etherscan.io
  • Phase 2: Limit 5 Fabricants Per Address
  • Phase 2: Start 1/1/2023
  • End both Phases 2/1/2023
  • Notify Discord fab-announcements Plan, Start, and Completion

Plan A: K.I.S.S.

  • Remove ability to Mint and limit supply to the current supply which is 1006 Fabricants as of today. If the supply happens to be close to the total supply in the coming weeks or month we would likely just mint anything remaining to finalize a full 9K supply.
  • Decide and implement how to host the Fabricant assets long term. Currently thinking IFPS, but Arweave is interesting option. Feedback welcome like always. We also likely fine just hosting on paid CDN because the costs are reasonable. NFT PNGs (2000x2200, 1000x1100, 500x550, 250x275), NFT Metadata, and Audio (NEON PLEXUS — Override.wav).
  • Set NFT Contract Base URI to the new asset URI currently http://cdn.neonplexus.io/collections/neon-plexus-override/terminal/metadata/{token_id_1_to_9000}
  • Set Sale Contract address on NFT Contract to null address to disable ability to mint
  • Then complete Plan A after mint deadline passes
