Thank you all for taking the time to discuss the Zeme Team project. I’m not sure if this is the correct place to respond (it’s not very clear). Not sure, but I’ve responded to your comments/questions below for now.
Shawn shared that he has seen Ziga on Twitter and noted that they started Zcash art. He added that they have been going on Fiverr and have hired someone to make Zcash related art. Shawn pointed out that he was not sure about the copyrights for the artwork as someone is already using the artwork and making t-shirts.
There is a mix up here which has been addressed below. We only created our own art. We never paid anyone on Fiverr to make Zcash related art.
Chris said that he reviewed the Twitter handle and deemed the memes to be good, pointing out an example of ZEC-shield = BTC. He added that there is a sleek feel to what they are doing and they are only asking for 10% upfront. Additionally, it is more constructive for someone to build a platform instead of someone who is just creating viral content. Hudson agreed that inviting other creators would make it multiply and be a bigger thing. He also liked that they are doing coding and UI/UX.
Agree. Building a platform is the ideal way to go.
Holmes disclosed that he has done marketing stuff including blockchain related stuff and he saw a few red flags: 1) He wants to see a portfolio outside this work because it is hard to evaluate what high level skills they are bringing 2) There are not many retweets and he would want to see a list of the biggest retweeted lists so far to see how far they are resonate with people.
We’re more than happy to share a portfolio.
Here are a few Tweet examples:
-
The Ziga account started the entire
in username movement on Twitter.

Please keep in mind this Twitter account was only started 3 months ago with 0 followers. We’ve generated 1M Tweet impressions within a few months. The community is loving the content we’re producing. The Ziga account has been one of the most popular Zcash related accounts in the past few months.
ML commented that she looked at the Twitter handle and she did not love their stuff. She also pointed out that, like Chris has said, many applications are going to be marketing grants and she doesn’t feel hot about this content.
We’re proposing to build a Zcash community marketing platform. We’re not seeking funding for the creation of our own art. Our goal is to generate Zcash art from hundreds or thousands of people.
Hudson volunteered to respond and ask, “where have you seen this successfully work?,” how will they deal with copyright violations, request a portfolio/success stories, and ask if they could present a budget that could be scaled down to cost less.
We’re more than happy to share a portfolio. Where should we send it?
We plan to follow the industry standards for user generated content platforms. Copyrights will be taken down if/when reported. Users can submit a ticket to us and we’ll review it.
Unfortunately, the budget to build the project is already lower than it would actually cost to build. We’re building it at a discount to help grow the community. Happy to discuss this in more detail.
I just want to note that this is likely an error on my part. I assumed there was a relationship between two different Twitter handles (Ziga and just_zArt) which have been producing Zcash related art/meme content. I apologize if I mixed separate projects up.
Thank you for correcting this error. I appreciate it. We have no association with just_zArt.
