AMA Recap: CRYPTO MINERS X DIGITAL RENAISSANCE

Digital Renaissance is a platform that will introduce a new creative economy— a world in which artists, creatives, and brands may utilize blockchain to create new income streams, bring value to their online expression, and build stronger connections with their supporters. The Digital Renaissance will increase creators’ revenue and create new revenue streams. By providing direct access to creators, Digital Renaissance empowers not only creators, but also the fans and supporters who elevate them.

We hosted an AMA session with Digital Renaissance on 16th February.

Mr. Ramsy was the host from Crypto Miners and Mr. Jonas, Mr. Oscar Van, Mr. Luuk was the guests. They shared delightful knowledge and unique features of the Digital Renaissance.

Segment 1️⃣: Introduction

.

Ramsy:
Hello everyone 👋 and welcome to the Crypto Miners AMA session With Digital Renaissance

To help us learn more about the featured project of this AMA session, we are lucky to be joined By Mr Jonas, Mr Oscar and Mr Luuk

Jonas Rosbech:
Hey guys! Thanks for having us! We are definitely excited on being here!

Oscar Van Velsen:
Hey guys, good to be here. My name is Oscar van Velsen, I’m head of product Digital Renaissance. Looking forward to get to know the community and the questions

Ramsy:
Welcome here Guys❤️
Thanks for bringing Us Digital Renaissance

Jonas Rosbech:
I think Luuk is having some verification issues. He should be in a few seconds.

Ramsy:
Alright

Jonas Rosbech:
He just joined now.

Luuk:
Hi everyone! The bot did not give me the emoticons 😭

Jonas Rosbech:
Alright, I think we are all here - so we can go ahead and start 🙂

Ramsy:
Welcome Here Luuk

🌚😸

How are you guys doing today?

Jonas Rosbech:
We are doing good! Really pumped to be here man! 🙂

We just finished our third presale round, and we are so eager for the upcoming weeks!

Ramsy:
I'm pretty sure that our Community is very much excited to learn more about Pandora ✌️

So let's get started if you guys are ready!!

Jonas Rosbech:
We're ready 🙂

Ramsy:
First of all Please give us a brief explanation about 'Digital Renaissance' .What popped up in your mind to create such a platform in this Space?

Jonas Rosbech:
We think the current NFT industry has some major flaws. We especially feel like it lacks any significant value and utility. We predict most NFTs will become valueless, unless they add utilities to their tokens. This is what we are doing.

The grand vision is to disrupt the creative economy. We need to create new income streams for the artists in the world.

COVID hit all artists hard man. And the current industry isn't really there for the artists.

Also, we want to combine the offline and the online community through events. One thing is our platform that allows income streams for the artists, another thing is the events and festivals we are going to organize soon.

Ramsy:
Indeed 💯

Jonas Rosbech:
We can go deeper into how our products works when we get further down the road 🙂

Ramsy:
Thanks Jonas For this great start 👌

Now let's see our second question from this segment

Q2) So what are your main features and advantages that discern you from other Projects?

Luuk:
There are four aspects in which we will improve upon existing projects: Token utility, platform integrity, seller visibility and blockchain compatibility.

I guess, I should dive into each of these.. hmm

Ramsy:
Go ahead 🌚

Luuk:
Most critical part of token utility is that we can provide real value, instead of hoping "rarity" and speculation can boost the price.

So first of all, it should be possible to not only add a JPG to the token, but also add other media and file formats.

Then we combine it with one or more of the following four utilities:

Luuk:
Platform integrity means we actually make sure there are no forgeries on our platform

We do curation and have direct and constant contact with every seller

Seller visibility is talking about the issue that if you go to big marketplaces, your art will be part of millions. Like a drop in the ocean. We offer a more exclusive and premium environment.

Users can have their own NFT Profile, where they showcase their NFTs to others.

Right now this can be a big problem for collectors: How will people see what NFTs you have?

especially when they have additional utility added to them

Our platform also allows you to turn your profile, into its own marketplace, with custom URL

like the Shopify of NFT Marketplaces. You can have your own platform.

Lastly, blockchain compatibility. We feel like NFTs should not be limited to a single blockchain. And they should be transferrable

Ramsy:
Thanks For the detailed answer mate

Q3) How has the experience and background of your team been effective in the success of your project so far?

Jonas Rosbech:
Most of us have been involved in the creative industry somehow. Some have been former artists, some own bigger booking agencies, festival organisers and more. Some of us have also built previous successful startups before. If someone is able to disrupt this industry we definitely believe that we are capable of it. I mean, the things we have achieved so far is something we are most definitely proud of. From raising around 2m USD from our amazing community to our awesome partners ranging from lawyers, labels, bridging partners that support us all the way - AND we have a huge announcement coming this week - so remember to stay tuned.

We also have some great advisors from the CTO and cofounder of Gorillas - a +2bn USD valauted startup to one of the best product managers out there currently at BUX.

Ramsy:
4) Now Share us about your Native tokens, What are the some of utlities of $VINCI in Your Ecosystem? And if possible share to us the Tokenomics

Luuk:
Our on-chain contracts use $VINCI to enable buying or bidding on NFTs on our platform. Our tokenomics can be viewed on thedigitalrenaissance.io/digital-renaissance-tokenomics.pdf

The platform also provides other utilities which are unlockable by either:
- $VINCI spent
- $VINCI owned
- $VINCI staked
- $VINCI in liquidity pool

Additional utilities of the platform include:

Customizing your own NFT profile,
Turning your NFT profile into your personal selling platform
Adding a custom domain to your NFT profile

And we also will provide:
- Artist Q&As
- Early access to sales
- Food / drinks at our real-world events

and that's really want I want to highlight most. We are not just an online platform. We will have real parties, conferences and festivals.

Our team has a deep, professional history with booking tripple A artists.

And we are working with partners to host these events across the world. Using NFTs to have people enter

Ramsy:
Let's move to our last question from this segment...

Q5) So how long did it take to develop this project? What plans do you have for the future? And what can we expect from Digital Renaissance? If possible could you please share road map with us.

Oscar Van Velsen:
It took us about 1.5 months to build the website. One of our power features as a team is our ability to move fast in all areas, from marketing to tech.

We are currently developing about 10 different products. Many of them don't show on our website yet so stay tuned : )

The roadmap can be found on https://thedigitalrenaissance.io/ , and I will also share it:

Oscar Van Velsen:
but as mentioned: not all of our products are on there, by far not (underpromise, overdeliver) In the future we want to have a full fledged creative economy ranging from music and NFT marketplaces to festivals and other branches of the creative industry

Luuk:
👍

Ramsy:
Thanks guys for this well detailed introduction about Digital Renaissance:)

And that's the wrap up of our the first part of the AMA session ✅

Jonas Rosbech:
Thanks guys! 🙂

Ramsy:
Let’s now proceed to our Twitter Questions section

i hope you guys are ready for that!!

Jonas Rosbech:
Yeah, we are so ready 🙂

Oscar Van Velsen:
Sure 😄

Segment 2️⃣: Twitter Questions

Ramsy:
1) Collaborations and partnerships are some of the most important cornerstones to help improve adoption. Could you please tell us about the current partners, plans for partnerships and what everybody stands to gain from these partnerships?

Oscar Van Velsen:
Let's start with two persons that we collaborate with, that Jonas briefly mentioned. One of them is Sebastiaan Lichter. He has done the most succesful ICO in history with his own company that raised 15 million. this company later merged with another and formed Bux Crypto. They hold what is essentially a banking license to trade crypto, which is, of course, as legit as it gets

the other one is Ronny Shibley. he has cofounded Gorillas, one of the most successful companies in worldwide recent history. They scaled from zero revenue in 2020 to a $2 billion dollar valuation in 2022. Having these heavyweight entrepreneurs in our team is priceless, as is the advice we get from them on a daily basis

our other partnerships and collabs:
- Nerve
- NULS
- Making Patterns
- Intercell
- DHA
- Kahmann Gallery
- Pincubator
- PolkaEx
- The Birb Nest
- COPUS

Ramsy:
2) As an investor, I want to know how strong is your project security system? and what benefits will a user have in the years to come when I decide to join the project you are working on right now?

Luuk:
Our on-chain tech is of course built on Solidity right now, using major chains such as Polygon and Binance Smart Chain.
And our off-chain tech is built on the Google Cloud platform, guaranteeing the uptime of our services and availability of our domains.
We also have had our $VINCI token audited https://solidity.finance/audits/Vinci/

We have a long-term plan, and we work with high profile artists who demand integrity

Our team is fully doxxed, and our partners also have a reputation to maintain. We are here to build a platform that can innovate within the Crypto industry for many years to come.

By being early, while we have not yet launched, investors have a chance to be part of something big.

We have no minting function in our token. There will always be a maximum of 500 million $VINCI.

Our goal is to add as much utility to this token, and the NFTs you can buy with it, as possible.

We also listen to our community, and should you have a great idea, we will take the time to find out if we have to adjust some aspects of our business. We invite everyone to grow with us, and work together, to not just build our business, but also to legitimize the crypto industry as a whole.

Ramsy:
3) I noticed that your token name is $VINCI, was the name inspired from the famous person during the Rennaissance Era which is Leonardo da Vinci? Could you tell us more about your token's name and how did you got it?

Jonas Rosbech:
Well you basically just said it yourself. 😄 We did indeed get it from Leonardo da Vinci - the guy that revolutionzed industries. We are the new revolution 🙏

Oscar Van Velsen:
exactly

also he represented exactly our spirit. Da Vinci he was a tech visionary and an artist

Jonas Rosbech:
He was a “man ahead of his time” and that some of his visionary inventions weren’t to be realised for centuries. It seemed more than appropriate to name our token after him. 🙂

Ramsy:
4) It is known lately that "artists" steal intellectual property & upload music as their own, when in fact it is plagiarism. At DIGITAL RENAISSANCE do you review music/artwork before publication? How do you ensure that quality content is published and comes from artists?

Luuk:
Yes we have an extensive curation process. We are not allowing anyone to put NFTs onto the platform without curation team.

Oscar Van Velsen:
also we work very closely with distribution platforms that have been safeguarding intellectual property as a business for a long time.

Luuk:
We also have a special legal team focused on this issue. It is absolutely vital to us that we maintain 100% integrity.

Ramsy:
5) A good project is expected to have competitive advantages and innovative ideas. What is the long-term vision of #DigitalRenais to keep up with trends in technology, community and different fields in the blockchain NFT market?

Here is our last question from twitter

Jonas Rosbech:
As mentioned before, we have some amazing advisors, and also a roadmap that is set to innovate the industry already. In terms of keep up with trends and community we are staying atop of the game by educating ourselves all the time. Join in on great AMAs like this, interact daily with our community and stay updated on YouTube, events and much more.

And if our community have any good ideas, we'll listen to them! So if you haven't joined in yet, and you have great ideas - now is the time join the DR community! 🙂

Luuk:
There are four aspects in which we will improve upon existing projects: Token utility, platform integrity, seller visibility and blockchain compatibility.

Thank you for the questions :)

Ramsy:
Thanks for Your Valuable Answers❣
And that's the end of our twitter question segment

Luuk:
actually good quality questions from Twitter 👌

Jonas Rosbech:
Great questions guys! Really awesome!

Ramsy:
Now Moving on to our last segment - Live Q&A

Shall We Go Guys?

Jonas Rosbech:
Yeah, let's do it!

Luuk:
🚀

Jonas Rosbech:
Lets go 🙂

Ramsy:
Here we go,

Segment 3️⃣: Live QnA
(In this segment group was opened for 60 seconds and Miners sent hundreds of questions. Guests choose some best to answer)

1)Shihad K:
Digital Renaissance seeks to bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds of Art, Dance & Music. So, How do you bridge this to attract more Artists to try to create art on your platform? What are your plans to expand your project adoption to Non-Crypto Artists?

Jonas Rosbech:
So events will definitely be the bridge from the digital to the physical aspect of Digital Renaissance. We are already now working on organizing the first events this year - and it will be awesome people! In terms of attracting talent we dont try to lure them in. Through our partnership and network we have access to some of the most groundbreaking artist and almost everyone we have talked with so far are eager to jump in on this as it gets them closer connected to their fans but obviosuly also creates additional income streams for them.

2) Paso pix:
How can I buy tokens from your project? Will you have a program to sell tokens to users in the near future?

Jonas Rosbech:
You can stay updated in our Telegram group https://t.me/DigitalRenais and also have a look at our website https://thedigitalrenaissance.io/vinci. Next presale will be announce soon.

We also have our own reward system to earn VINCI for "free": https://thedigitalrenaissance.io/reward

3) Dzouza:
Can you list 1-3 killer features of Your Project that makes it ahead of its competitors? What is the competitive advantage your platform has that you feel most confident about?

Luuk:
We are confident in the fact that the current NFT market is broken. It contains too many NFTs that at their core have no value. To many outsiders, NFT now even represents valueless, "rare", but ultimately useless tokens. We are here to change that. Token utility, is what we will bring. Our royalty NFTs (ARX), our Unlockable feature, and using NFTs as tickets to go to real-world events. Are the top 3 utilities in our NFTs. Other than that we also feel like our platform is unique and solves problems currently faced by industry leaders. No more forgeries, no more NFT scams, no more low quality. We invest in our curation team, in our branding, in the ability to create your own space on our platform to integrate your business with. We have the tech, and the culture. Hence the name VINCI.

4) 👰👰Ullas Online Shopping.👰👰:
IS This Your project only for elite investors, how about others with small funds, is it open to everyone?

Jonas Rosbech:
That is actually a really good question. We do have "bigger" investors on board - BUT our presale rounds actually allows our community to get in for smaller ticket sizes (200 USD minimum) to feel closer to the project and to support it obviously. To us our community is a huge part of why we are here - remember, we want to bring back culture and get people back together, just as much as we will support the artists and the industry.

And I would love if everyone would join the revolution and join the Digital Renaissance
As I said before, COVID shut down a lot of the creative industry and I think most of us realized that the creative industry brings culture and most of us missed being a part of something physically. We are at a time and place right now where we can disrupt the industry.

5) Suhu suhair:
How many team members do you have? Do they have enough experience in the blockchain field? Do they have any experience on working in crypto and non-crypto project?

Luuk:
We have 27 team members and a lot of partners. We have deep experience in crypto. One of my engineers even has a PhD in mathematics, with a focus on cryptography. But this business does not require only tech knowledge. It also requires business understanding. This is why almost every one of us has been an investor in blockchain technology for years. We have an in-house educational program for new members to learn the concepts that might be new to them. When working in crypto, it is important to understand every term on for instance this image I attached.

But we are more than crypto and tech. We are a brand, we want to bring culture to the world in the form of art and music. So our co-founders have deep roots in these fields, and the partners we work with even more so. We merge the online crypto world, with the offline event world. We feel like this is the transition that our industry needs to go through. The next step. The revolution.

*This segment ends here*

Jonas Rosbech:
Really good ones man! If any of you still have questions we didn’t answer, plese post them in our Telegram group

Luuk:
Also I do need to mention again that our token is audited by an external independent party: https://solidity.finance/audits/Vinci/
