Thread by @MomentumXYZ

1/ A couple of hours ago we publicly launched Kusamaverse in @MomentumXYZ.

We were joined by 284 fellow Dotsamanauts. Wow! That was quite a ride!

We’d like to share what we’ve learned, what went well, what absolutely sucked monkey balls, and everything in between. 👇

2/ For starters... We are happy to learn why Kusama exists in the first place: Experiment in production. Embrace the chaos, learn from it and move forward. This always was in our DNA from day one… and today with the launch we ticked all the boxes (again) for sure ;)

3/ What went well: We gathered a big pile of amazing information, with 250+ users online at the same time interacting in the 3D world. Any issues that occurred are quite easy to iron out. The overall system held up nicely. And the #dotsama community love… WoW such Vibes <3

4/ Also, we were happy to find @DonnieBigBags and the Moonsamanauts in the secretly hidden Moonsama Cube chilling and shooting the breeze.

5/ Some significant aspects that could’ve gone better:

First of all, the login system choked on the amount of people joining at the same time. Meh… Yeah.. yet an easy fix, fortunately.

6/ Secondly, the Stage mode (which is like Twitter spaces in the metaverse, but with video) had some issues communicating with our backend, which apparently also showed some adolescent behavior with over 250 people in the gathering. Fix will be in shortly.

7/ That in return caused some other minor issues, like the number of people in the same gathering space is not shown correctly. Soon they will. Some users experienced a slow response when going in or out of a meeting space. We’re on this too.

8/ Over the next days and weeks, there will be more testing (duh), getting feedback from users and updating with fixes. We love how the community is involved, memeing the crap out of us while providing proper feedback and suggestions.

9/ Muchas gracias to everyone who joined us in making today's launch something worth celebrating, and bearing with our stage mode challenges! We couldn't build this without you guys; made by the people, for the people!

10/ We're on a long road at humble beginnings and we are well under way, with Milestone 2, now up for discussion
