# SuperYetis
Filling this out retrospectively, so, keep that in mind. Basically, super cute yetis that are procedurally generated. The first drop was of 10k yetis and it quickly picked up momentum as the project went on. The pre-sale sarted on Tuesday, June 8 and was to last a week. They sold out on Saturday the 12th.

There were lots of issues with the project and the launch (see below), but they didn't stop the momentum. I think the lesson is cute AF art and good hype can over come a lot of issues.

### Description
The team got excited about these early due to the cuteness of the art and the very active Discord. Momentum continued to build through 2 or 3 Clubhouse sessions that got the attention of some big names including Taylor.wtf and j1mmy. Folks really liked the contributions to help stop human trafficing in Nepal and India.

However, as @seanbonner got more and more involved, red flags started showing up:
* the team insisted on staying anonymous
* the contract wasn't verified on Etherscan
* the contract does not cap max supply (the team claims this is to allow breeding, which was alway part of the plan. it would have been better to do that under a separate contract but that team didn't do that.)
* the metadata was hosted on HTTPs
* the team made lots of promises about future use including granting derivative rights and a game that have yet to be seen. the game especially seems like a pipedream
* the team wasn't paying most of the members
* the team was witholding many of the rarest and best yetis for themselves
* there weren't enough attributes and accessories to make the yetis unique enough.
* the team demonstrated a lack of knowledge about how the ethereum block chain works and how smart contracts work
* the resell percentage for the team is a relatively high 10%

Despite all those issues, and @seanbonner's public grilling of the team in their Discord and subsequent conversations in Taylor.WTF's discord (now rebranded as discord.art), the momentum never slowed.

Some of the issues did get addressed (the contract is verified, they added more attributes and uniqueness, they withheld fewer valuable Yetis) but many did not, including the lack of IPFS, the overpromising, and the lack of proof regarding the charitable donations.
