GM🌈 What went wrong with the @Doodles Doopie 25k mint? Its simple. Although intentions were good, the team allowed too many barriers to get in the way and mis-timed and misread the market. 1. The team allocated 2x doopie for every OG they hold. So in theory, 20k of the 25 collection could be claimed for FREE by existing holders. They could have airdropped it and saves us all a headache but instead... They only gave a 3 hour window to claim yesterday from 8am-11am EST. So many OG missed this window either due to work, different time zone or missed communication. 2. The team required OG's to register first and connect their eth wallet to see the allocation and then set up the solana wallet. This is a part many OGs also missed. They showed up to the claim but forgot this initial step so weren't eligible. And the truth is the team already had most of the OG solana wallet when they dropped $DOOD so why was this needed? 3. Communication could have been better. I am as active as it comes and I almost missed the announcements on discord or X. Its holiday season in a bear market so you cant just expect everyone to be glued to the news and be ready on a Tuesday. 4. The duplicator claim also had barrier. It needed to be registered on discord instead of the OG claim site. I almost missed this step. There are about 5k duplicator holders so this could have filled the remaining 5k. So while the intentions were good, you can see too many steps lead to failure. 5. The duplicator claim yesterday was also impossible. It only had a 1 hr window slot from 11-12pm. So I personally missed this claim even though I got the OG one. I had a meeting to attend and couldn't get this. 6. Then the window to mint for whitelist opened and then, the public mint. But the pricing at 1 sol and 3 sol is debatable especially in a bear market. I personally think the price is ok but when the mint is not near sold out/claimed due to the steps above, then there is no FOMO. If this was about 90% claimed/minted by the whitelist/public stage, people would have gladly paid 1 sol or more. This would have continue on the secondary market. So @burnttoast and the @doodles team are now in a pickle. But they can still fix the situation. The product is good. The brand is great. The execution of this launch isn't. Solution? Its simple 1. Listen to your community and apologize. 2. Just make it right and airdrop/open the claim to all the OG's. 3. Same with dooplicator. 4. Let the market play itself out after all the 25k items are rightfully allocated. 5. Execute on the next steps. GM🌈
