ANTlantUS the Found Contient

[Veritable Quandry]

Is that an upper case I or a lower case l?

 

[CronoCloud Creeggan]

First off, paragraph breaks.

Secondly, multi-quote is a thing.

Thirdly, you remind me of Bob Pelloni and every other autistic wannabe game auteur whose vision is too big for their skills and capabilities.

My question is really sincere. As part of my Founder's Institute curriculum (you can look online for a link to them),

Founders Institute? Run by a roomie of Elon Musk? How much did you pay to be part of it? No wonder you engaged in Buzzword Bingo.

To make this happen, there will be an economy based upon crypto (and the important thing here is that backing for the value of the crypto, is backed by a bonified real world asset).

The phrase is "bona fide", it is Latin.

Crypto and NFT's are with us until someone comes up with a better alternative.

NFT's are currently a scam.

Good question... ANTlantUS, plays off the old movie story from the past, your probably too young for that, but cherish your youth, it doesn't last forever.

Oh no you didn't. I'm 54 and I would wager I'm at least twice your age. Most of the regulars here are probably in their 40's and 50's. You so obviously don't know the audience here.

My survey request is centered around a deliverable (homework) for my Founder's Institute program requirement. I'll address that comment in your subsequent post. Thanks for responding.

So you want us to help you with your homework? Do you think we'd do someone's college homework for them?

It is true, I'm in the very beginning of developing a business plan for this venture. Founder's Institute admitted me into their highly competitive program to help launch a venture like this.

Do you really think it's highly competitive, or is it more likely they admit anyone that can pay their $1000 fee and just "say" it's competitive.

Really just at concept... hence... very difficult... because my project has many, many moving parts.

Are you a programmer? Do you have a team of programmers? Do you have a UI designer? Do you have content people ready? The internet is littered with the remains of failed Virtual Worlds. Even Sony gave up on theirs even though it was profitable. You want to know what I want. One that does what SL and Sony's Home did, but better and with EVERY feature that SL and Home had and more. No one has been able to do that. Seriously, it is almost like everyone with any interest in virtual worlds is already in SL. And to beat SL you have to BE SL and more besides.

Actually, they are very useful for money laundering

The OP is yet another stunning example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Well money laundering is a scam so...

The OP is yet another stunning example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

And narcissism.

Seriously overestimating its own abilities/knowledge.
Having a meltdown when this is pointed out.
Blaming other people for its fragility, while becoming increasingly abusive.

... because it is kind of the "Secrete Sauce" for my VR world. But it will be disclosed closer to launch...

So, will I need a special printer to secrete this sauce?

As the Creator of ANTlantUS, I'm gathering input from potential ANTlers (those who will occupy this new and improved virtual environment). The platform will be Blockchain in nature, and will revolve around Blockchain technology. The use of Crypto, NFT (backed by real world asset), Social Media (protected from data mining and censorship), Live Chat, Ultra realistic graphic environment, Professional Career Educational and apprenticeship opportunities (that transfer over to real world applications), and maybe most important... ownership of not only your "Home" in ANTlantUS, but also in the virtual world as well... with all the perks that go with pride of ownership.

If you are at all interested in the creation participation rounds, and able to discover this unique opportunity that lays before you, I invite you to be part of this adventure and provide valuable input on direction and ultimately, the final game ecosystem. Either join in on this conversation here or email the Creator at ANTlantUS2100@gmail.com. I need participants who can be safely surveyed, and be added to a list of "Founders" who will reap rewards as the project unfolds

Please, please, please join me in this effort. I need your help.

Let us take this a line at a time.

What makes your idea new and improved?
Blockchain is a inefficient way to handle a graphical assets. Use it for a database? It is good, pretty pictures? Yeah no.
What does using crypto bring to a virtual environment?
What does using NFTs bring to a virtual environment?
Social media, how are you going to prevent/secure it from data mining?
Censorship: The very fact you are over here on a social media platform, telling people stop being mean, stop giving me negative input, is openly showing you are all about censorship when what is said doesn't agree with your desires. Smart people can take negatives and find a way to make them into positive outcomes. Your handling of critics tell me you're not quite ready to be online in a global environment.
Live chat: in any online forum, live chat can and will turn salty unless you put censorship rules into place.
Ultra realistic graphics, why? You start with just wanting a somewhat secure database but how does having pretty graphics make it worth the programming/designing investment?
How do these professional career educational apprenticeship opportunities actually transfer to real world applications? I mean sure, you have to use them real world to make a virtual world but your wording is very unclear. Or is this just marketing buzz/pipe dreams?
If ANTlantUS is a virtual environment, how is owning my own "Home" in it any different than owning it in the virtual world as well? You make it sound like they are 2 different things but also try and make it all sound like one thing. What are some of the perks besides "pride of ownership" of a virtual home? What are the downsides to owning one?
Now it is a game ecosystem?
Define "safely surveyed" or do you mean people who think like yourself? BUZZWORDS! FREE LABOUR, FUCK YEAH! Apprenticeships/internships are so awesome!
What kind of rewards will be reaped as this unfolds/crashes and burns?


Overall, you need to step back, actually write down your goals for this project and rethink them.

You want to use a secure database system to create an ultra realistic graphical game ecosystem. Your foundation is way off and your instructor is doing you a great disservice by letting you proceed with word salad proposals for some undefined project goal.

TL;DR another student wants only select similar voices to take a survey for his college project.

Just going to park this here, "secrete sauce" right from the Creator of the Founders Institute.

How do you write a compelling Investment Thesis?
There are multiple components to a compelling Investment Thesis that we have compiled into a simple to follow format. A good Thesis can often take months to develop, iterating on feedback from the market, advisors, and fund investors. In order to start this process, we have created a simple template for creating a venture capital Investment Thesis below.



“[Fund Name] is launching a [$x MM] [Stage] venture fund in [Country / City] to fund [Geography] [Sector / Market Companies] [with Secret Sauce]”


Below you can see tips for each component in [brackets]:

• [Fund Name] When getting started, we recommend using a last name or color, like ‘Ressi Ventures’ or ‘Orange Fund,’ since the Thesis will evolve many times over the first months. After you feel that you have a final Thesis, then choose a name that represents your fund.
• [$x MM] This is the size of committed capital by LPs to the fund. You will be able to raise a fund that is 10 times the size of what you think you can easily close from contacts that you already have. So, if you think that you can easily raise $500,000 from friends, acquaintances and other contacts, then your first fund size maximum is $5 MM.
• [Stage] Stage is usually based on fund size, and, for New Managers, the options are angel (<$5 MM), pre-seed ($5 MM to $15 MM), seed ($15 MM to $50 MM) and Series A (>$50 MM). It is easier to have a larger fund doing an earlier stage, such as a $100 MM angel fund, than it is to have a smaller amount of money for a later stage, such as a $10 MM Series A fund.
• [Country / City] This is the city or country where the New Managers are living or plan to live while running the fund. Now, most funds have a life of at least 10 years, so make sure to pick a city or country where you and your fellow New Managers plan to be for some time. In addition, if you are living in a large country, then it is better to specify a city or region. “East Coast” is better than the United States.
• [Geography] This is the region where the fund will invest in portfolio companies. If the Geography is not specified, then it is assumed that the funding will be local. This is particularly important for New Managers, who often try to be too broad and then do not appear credible. For example, it is unrealistic to assume that a New Manager with a small fund will do cross border deals that require complex legal management.
• [Sector / Market Companies] This is the type of companies that the fund will focus on investing in, such as FinTech, digital health, SaaS or marketplaces. Ideally, when choosing a sector or market in a geography, the opportunity will be obvious to the right LPs, such as "East Coast Fintech companies” or “German SaaS companies.”
• [with Secret Sauce] ’Secret Sauce’ is your insight into a sector or market opportunity based on your in-depth experience. For example, “West Coast heath startups based on my 15 years leading the largest health tech angel group in San Diego while practicing neurosurgery.” The secret sauce needs to show why you are uniquely qualified to create this fund, and, if the market opportunity is not obvious, it should also show why the market opportunity is important right now.

What about mesh clothes that fuck with your hover height?

 

[WolfEyes]

What about mesh clothes that fuck with your hover height?

You know those "old" foot shapes that creators still include with shoes/boots? I discovered that the ones for mesh shoes/boots correct the hover height for that pair of footwear. At first, I didn't believe it but I did find that many of those shapes actually do "fix" the problem.

It still doesn't make sense for me but it does seem to work for most mesh footwear that includes the foot shape so maybe it's not the clothes but the shoes. Unless you consider shoes as clothing. I don't because I don't wear them unless I have to in RL.

 

[Caete]

Good question... ANTlantUS, plays off the old movie story from the past, your probably too young for that, but cherish your youth, it doesn't last forever....

So which "old movie story" do you mean?
Antlers would imply Bambi
Or is based on one of those movies about giant ants?
Or one of the movies based on legends of MU/Atlantis like these to mention a few:
Atlantis, the Lost Continent (1961)
Aquaman (2018)
Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1959)
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
Man from Atlantis (1977, Television Move)
Hercules and the Conquest of Atlantis (1961) – aka Hercules and the Captive Women
Warlords of Atlantis (1978)
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012)
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) – Disney Animated Film
Atlantis: End of a World, Birth of a Legend (2011)
MacGyver: Lost Treasure of Atlantis (1994)
Conqueror of Atlantis (1965)

Of course if it is Atlantis, that makes me think your project won't stay afloat financially, that it'll sink, taking all the investors and their capital down with the ship, so to speak.

Nah, most shoes are fine with their foot shape or most work with one foot shape regardless who it came from. I mean I've some mesh dresses that will put you mid calf into the ground even with a foot shape being worn beforehand.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

So the crypto is ANT but your name states you are anti-ANT. Seems like a conflicting message there.

 

[Caete]

Ants often confuse people, I mean look at this

Never had that happen. Just the issue with the shoes. It has something to do with the reason for the old invisiprims and elevation. Don't really feel like digging that far back to find it. I tend to think of it like how heels in RL add height to the human body without actually making the body longer in any way (including feet). Should ring a bell. Sorry it's been so long and I was skeptical at first myself until one day I got so frustrated I tried it and it worked. Just by wearing those foot shapes. lol
