Testnet users>> any nft holders

Only those who are part of the testnet know how difficult and problematic the Linea testnet is. The real OGs of the network are not those who buy NFTs by paying $ 2000, but those who contribute to the development of the network. I laugh when I see people saying that having a stupid NFT is equally important as having thousands of LXP.

You should refrain from opening such threads repeatedly and in divisive language. This harms the entire community.
Every community and every interaction in the Linea ecosystem is important and it is our responsibility to respect them all.

Every post I see just makes me more and more certain that the best approach is a point system, because the vast majority would be happy with it. This is an example, of course, and the amount of points for each item would be up to Linea. But here we go:

Testnet user: 2 points
Providing liquidity for 6 months or more: 1 point
Spent X amount of gas defined by Linea: +1 point
Interacted and contributed in Linea’s forum, Discord, Twitter: +1 point
(This one about adding people from the forum I saw in another post and thought it was interesting because an engaged, united, and valued community is essential for any project that wants to grow.)

Now, about NFTs:

Holders of Efrog NFTs: 6 points
Holders of NFTs like Linpus Crew, Bunny Universe, Frogletes: 3 points
Other holders of NFTs from X project: 1 point
(Because, in my opinion, NFTs worth 1 dollar or 5 dollars, like the “Linus Egg”, would already be enough for 1 point.)

Now, here comes the LXP topic.

What I mentioned was just a few of the criteria to earn points (obviously, there would be more criteria to earn more points, such as Linea name, eth name, among other factors). I just wanted to address this topic here, which clearly shows that the best overall approach is to look at everything as a whole instead of just one item.

It’s better to stop begging for a more convenient condition and leave it to the team’s discretion who and how to reward and for what.

What is really important is to help the team with finding and annihilating sybils + making arguments in favor of a sufficient size of community allocations.

Why not 5000000 points for testnet NFT buyers? :joy:

3 points for 3k+ complete idiocy, considering how much work, time and money had to be spent on this

My friend, I think you didn’t interpret the text correctly, so let me help you understand it in a way that your brain can process. Here we go: João opened a lemonade stand, but asked his friends to suggest prices for each cup of lemonade. All his friends suggested certain prices, and João gathered all their opinions and came up with a price he determined as appropriate for the cup of lemonade. Did you understand now? (In my previous text, I clearly stated that the points would be determined by Linea. I never mentioned testnet NFTs, only the general use of the testnet. The NFTs I mentioned were from Linea’s partners, and my approach was to make people understand that we should see Linea as a huge ecosystem. We should look at it as a whole rather than focusing on just one item, like the creator’s approach in the topic about ‘testnet.’ I think now you understand, right?

No need for a long explanation to see that the math and economics of decentralization don’t align with your points system. It’s completely unbalanced. People who completed an average or above-average number of quests <<<< are far fewer than those who did the same and added a testnet NFT.

Even from a basic financial and investment perspective, the imbalance in the bonus system is obvious. I’m not saying you’re wrong or foolish, but in my opinion, your system is flawed and doesn’t reflect the spirit of Linea - especially the fact that decentralization isn’t just about LXP but also about organic traffic and engagement.

That said, I’m sure the team has already decided how things will work, and the decentralization process is moving steadily toward TGE. So honestly, I don’t even see the point in debating the criteria again.

If you go back to the message I replied to on this topic and the response I gave you before, you’ll see that, just like you said, ‘Linea is not just LXP’ this is exactly the point I want to make. Just like I said, Linea is not just testnet, not just NFTs, not just LXP it is an entire ecosystem, and we should look at everything as a whole instead of focusing on a single item. And I made it clear at all times that the points would be and will be defined by Linea in order to move up tiers and earn more tokens.

You saw that the LXP table I made gave a lot of points because I based it on approximately 350 points. If I had used 2k to 3k, 3k to 4k, and so on, obviously, there would have been much fewer points per sector. In fact, this approach of points based on the amount of LXP was addressed in the most viewed topic on the forum. And I made it clear at the end of the message that these were just some of the ‘criteria’ obviously, there will be more criteria, and the system will be more elaborate.

Just like I explained in the lemonade stand example, Linea is looking at all the topics, all the responses, and they will take everything, analyze it, adjust what needs to be adjusted, and create the fairest system possible overall, I believe.

Your proposal clearly shows a lack of understanding of the community and ecosystem. You grouped together projects that have been with Linea for over six months, enduring the toughest times, with those that were just recently created and still have a long way to go - some of which might not even survive. And eFrogs getting 6 points, twice as much as others - are you serious? At least compare the floor prices of these collections if you’re not engaged with the community or fully understand what you’re talking about. The LXP distribution imbalance has already been pointed out above. There’s a lot of imbalance overall, and it’s not just in your proposal - it’s a widespread issue on the forum.

Bro, where is your reading comprehension? I made it crystal clear that this was just an example—the table was simply a model. I explicitly stated that the number of points for each factor is determined by Linea. It’s merely a framework, nothing more.

For instance, Efrogs is the top NFT on Linea, so it gets X points. Then come the mid-tier ones: X points. The more basic ones: X points. Again, I emphasized that Linea is the one deciding the points, and I already made that clear in my previous message.

And as for NFTs, if you actually check the most hyped and discussed topic, it mentions 5 points for Efrogs and 1 point for other NFTs. Yet, here you are making an issue out of an example I provided—where the focus was on the model itself, not the specific points.

So let me say it again, loud and clear, so you can process it properly: Linea is the one defining the points. And I had already made that abundantly clear in my previous message.

efrog=5700 lxp
yeah that’s exactly what i was talking about lol
Do you have any information about what kind of effort it takes to collect 5700 lxp

Lol, it’s pennies. Stop whining and being jealous. Join the community.

I own both Efrogs and all the main NFTs in the ecosystem. I participated in the testnet and was among the 26,000 people who won the Alpha NFT. I used the network before the Ethereum Dencun implementation, when transaction fees were still high. Additionally, I have LXP, staked ETH for six months on Linea, and minted the NFTs. In short, I did absolutely everything possible within this ecosystem.

However, I believe that everyone will always defend what benefits them the most. Some will argue in favor of a boost for those who were OG and used the network before the update, and I don’t judge them—after all, each person seeks what is most advantageous for themselves.
