A large VR influencer posted a video about Neos today. I think it was well made, but I'd like to hear others opinions on it :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rvAKRWC82gNeos VR: The Untold Story of a Metaverse TragedyHello. Today I have a full on documentary of probably the most tragic story within the entire VR industry. Developers shafted, a $500,000,000 market cap shriveled into nothing, and a community left torn. But there is still hope. Actually something interesting I came across, Neos had a Quest/ Quest 2 and Oculus go version in development as well. Interesting addition. Basically though, crypto tore Neos apart from the inside out, no matter how compelling the technology. Thank you to everyone that participated in my dozens of interviews. This is one of the largest "journalistic" videos I have ever done and it took a lot of work, but I hope you enjoyed it. Much Love, Thrill My links: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Thrilluwu Discord: https://discord.gg/2hCGM9BYez Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/thrilluwu Neos discord: https://discord.gg/eNYu4xbhVF

Thanks for posting the video.😊 I was made aware of it before it went live.
I understand that non-biased journalism isn't fully possible here, because it's quite hard to grasp the whole situation without all the information and context. Production-wise it's a nice video, even if a little too dramatic for my personal preference.
But I understand that it's for audience engagement.☺️
The biggest issue I see here is people having fundamental problems with the NCR being ingrained in Neos. They somehow feel threatened by this whole crypto thing. They think this is "Karel's vision". And don't see much utility.
And you can't blame them. I agree here with the author of the video that so many of the new metaverse projects are nothing but empty promises and ways to suck money from gullible people. People are scared because in their eyes, crypto-bro mentality has the potential to spoil something they love so dearly. But we shouldn't let that cloud our judgment when it comes to Neos and NCR. We can choose how to write the narrative here. -
We're building something new and innovative. Something that has value beyond the platform itself. There is a potential for a whole massive open source ecosystem. And I don't think it can be fully achieved if Neos relies on some VC funding or centralized solutions.
I feel the video does not stress enough the point that NCR has the potential to return something to the community and that it can provide freedom to the project as a whole. We all want Neos to be this amazing metaverse that Thrill showed us: an immersive, open world where people can create whatever they want without limits or boundaries. And it could happen tomorrow—only people themself have that freedom of choice. -
Both Karel and Frooxius wanted everyone who contributed and helped to make Neos a reality to benefit from its success. And grow Neos' user base and ecosystem organically. One platform for education, work, and entertainment. Just like they outlined in the whitepaper.
Patreon subscriptions gave NCR perks because the founders believed that if Neos makes it big one day, those who helped should be taken care of.
I can't see much wrong with that.
This whole mentality of "to hell with the token" is not helpful to anyone. -
When I joined, there was already a split you could sense and negative sentiment towards Karel. I do not wish to discuss anything detailed here because a lot of things were said to me in confidence and I will respect that.
What I can tell you is that I saw a very talented team with passion and drive that could go really far. I also saw two men who had difficulty communicating with each other and were under a lot of pressure caused by the whole metaverse-boom situation.
It would be best if you ask Frooxius or the team themselves because anything I say will be just my view and I don't wish to create more rumors or spark a heated debate. -
Despite the challenges we've faced, I did my best to work with the team and tried to do my job as best I could. I understand that they were surprised that I was brought on. That is not something that was in my control. If people feel they had issues with me, they had every means of contacting me and talking it through. They still have. I don't claim that everything was perfect and I always gave my apologies when proven wrong. We all grow. So I sleep okay ☺️ -
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. If there's anyone who could bridge a divide, it's you, and if it means anything, I'm not the only one who thinks that.
I also know this is stressful, because if it's stressful for me I can't imagine how it feels on your end. I'm sorry you also got thrust into that video in a less than fair manner as well. -
I appreciate the support and the message thank you. But really this is not about me. I don’t want to make it about me.
Literally all I want is for everyone to be in a better place so they can feel they are fulfilled and working on something that is aligned in what they believe. But we can’t move if we constantly bring back the same story.
I will always be here for anyone who wants to talk but I don’t have a superpower of making things back to normal unless people are willing to forgive and move on.
But at very least we could try to stop the scaremongering. Neos won’t die. That’s is in nobody’s interest. Too many people care ☺️ -
this is so great message :)
-
Nobody wants it to die, yet it is suffocating for almost a year now, without any signs of a resolution. How long it will take? Another year? Maybe a few more? Meanwhile, nobody from the dev team informs the community about anything from the talks, so we are left to speculate.
-
If we have something to share we will. -
Patience will breed a new era

If you're talking about Neos failing in a blockchain sense, why are you doing it in 2021 the way you're doing it in 2018? I think it comes down to.

There was a trend to make it a Governance token, but it ended up being a discord vote, and what were you giving out CDTFs for? I was wondering what was the point of distributing CDTFs? I think that if they are going to do this nowadays, the distribution should have been done by USDC stables and the fee should have been allocated by NCR's share. Well, I guess it's too late for that.
https://twitter.com/WakiyamaP/status/1558839775913975809?t=Szmko7Drrfva2edyC8ldJw&s=19LinkGovernanceトークンにするって流れはあったけど、結局discord投票になってたし何のためにCDTF配ってたんですか?というお気持ちにはなった。今どきでやるなら流通はUSDCなりのステーブルでして手数料はNCRの持ち分で配分でにすべきだったのだろうなと。まぁ今更感あるけど
-
If you're talking about being destroyed by people speculating, then the DISCORD vote is more at risk. Then the percentage of people who were doing existing NeosVR was clearly higher, including the ones who were handing out CDTFs and such. However, it was a bad idea to get involved in such an evil technology as blockchain, so it was inevitable in part. It's hard.

The biggest mess it made wasn't that it exploded in value needlessly, but that the sudden stream of money devided the two friends who creates this project togehter. And obviously you can't replace the main programmer of this project, because its his brain child. And the one actually managing the money can't also not easily be replaced... now everything is at a standstill until they figure it out and one of them has the project. Depending on who that is it stays the same project or it devides into 2 projects (second under different name lead by the programer probably) -
Governance tokens have proven so far to be ineffective and, with few exceptions, a long term failure for coordinated action. More to the point, DAOs and governance systems don't seem well suited for software development decisions.
Only thing NCR needs to be in order to succeed is what's already in place, it just needs to be given a chance, and actual support from the team and community. Which unfortunately doesn't seem that likely at this point. -
-
-
Hey, just found out that Reactant, who used to be a really vocal member of the community posted a video and made serious allegations..
Andrea, may we get some clarifications ? I would appreciate to hear more than just a onesided opinion if it is possible.
Guess that's a weird shift from Reactant !
https://youtu.be/OZ-V8-AMaf8 -
-
Indeed, I did asked her because she always take the time to step back and gives ppl answers.
-
Reactant,he actually sold over 400,000 NCR and came back with a lie claim. He doesn't understand Karel's long-term vision
-
Reactant bought and sold NCR arbitrage a long time ago. It was early 2019. I know his wallet is on the etherscan blockchain. He made millions of dollars from that activity
-
Yeah weird shift
-
But be careful on the "bashing" lol !
-
Reactant certainly benefitted from NCR, I don't know how much. I've noticed there's always a tendency for those who break free from something to turn against it. It's the same attitude I think the team took after they liquidated their NCR to about-face and turn against it
-
-
-
I also want to say I actually support the first buybacls he did, as they were in response to the team fudding the token themselves (and weaponizing the community to do it for then) and morally, yes I think it was the right call. What Reactant misses here is that while that money was to belong to Froox too, Froox himself attacked that very funding scheme, making it absurd for him to benefit from it while damaging those who were a part of it.
-
-
buybacks, karel wants to shorten the number of NCRs in the market. It will be good if Neos holds a large amount of NCR to serve long-term financial problems. Anti-dumping and sustainable financing
-
-
-
-
-
Currently, the number of NCRs in the market accounts for only 5% to 8% of the total supply of NCRs.
-
-
-
-
Dumped NCR is no exception. Altcoins are dumped when BTC loses 60% of its value. Almost all Altcoins lose between 80 and 95% of their value compared to ATH
-
-
-
this, and this is always left out. It was like a negative feedback loop spiraling downward. I'm not saying I agree with that being the way to handle it though. I think there's more to the picture we don't know. I... think?
-
This but in the fact of that it's a strong market force and standing in the way of it is like standing in the way of a locomotive.
-
This is Karel’s concern, why would it be public?
-
-
-
-
-
-
To me it seems like Reactent is envious of his old celebrity status and is willing to say anything to get back into the neos community.

All I can say is when I play I dont even notice the crypto my personal opinion it can be its own thing and not harm neos in the slightest. -
I really don't get this weird obsession of the whole "West bad" thing but whatever. As for lumping things together, we saw a definite relief in GPU prices in sync with bitcoin crashing, just because something is worse than one thing doesn't make that thing okay, "scalping culture" was a result of chip shortages plus high amounts of mining leaving an opportunity to scalp cards. Crypto has a long way to go, it'll get there, I hope, but it's not there now. This isn't "lumping things and saying it's all bad" but instead "Looking at the problems with crypto and being honest with ourselves that it ain't too hot right now."

Japan heavily regulates 'crypto assets'. Systems with privacy focused features are banned, transactions are heavily taxed, exchanges are regulated the same way banks are. Personally, I do not see them as a good model to hold up, but the general acceptance of 'crypto assets' is understandable given how integrated they are into the traditional financial systems. -
I'm not quite sure if (and how much) crypto really is integrated a lot in traditional financial systems I know in the professional financial world like asset management crypto is regarded as a joke.
I guess it does depend on what you define as traditional I know for certain that it isn't integrated in the asset management/banking world -
Japan is heavily political and has a high variety of different movements and problems that come with this. Everything from arguments on how the economy should run, to queer activism. They are not as homogenous as you imagine.
-
That goes for everywhere as well outside of Japan. I can't think of any exceptions where countries aren't crazily political with different movements -
That's what makes it frustrating when people say things like "Japan doesn't make things political." Japan just experienced a political assassination.
-
Agreed on that -
Every country is political the idea that one is crazy political vs another isn't true imo -
The east has a lot of political and social movements just like the west does. -
share wallet?? is this news true?
-
No theyre not. They have one of the lower percentages of registered voters and if you spent half a day comparing social media discourse between the two countries it's night and day
-
-
-
-
-
What are you talking about? Japanese companies take hard political stances, and there's a lot of activism in Japan. Registered voter percentage isn't indicative of how many people care about politics. Japan even experiences strife in how they treat indigenous populations the same way the 'west' does
-
Don't use social media as your indicator if you don't speak Japanese, because then you can't tell me whether or not there's discourse O.o
-
-
-
Consider that you're looking at this from a westerner's perspective who obviously doesn't live in the country they're speaking of. What may seem apolitical to us may be extremely political to them and vice versa. One example could be that in the US, we don't really have too much of an opinion/politics on child bearing. But in Japan, from my understanding it is very much a political topic.
-
-
Yup... There it is -

@NonnyFreedom Just tagging you in :) -
lol, well the petty insult aside I think that's pretty right

I'm reminded with this impression I got when Dragon Quest's controversial composer Koichi Sugiyama died.. JP twitter was almost all comments of condolence for his family or gratitude for his work. EN twitter the most engaged comments were all celebration of his death and comments I remember with lots of engagement like "goodbye bitch" and other such weird logic to justify being vitriolic
-
-
Politics is performed differently across different cultures, but I think it's naive to make statements about more or less political cultures. Politics boils down to questions of social structure and the flow of power, and those are fundamental questions of being in society. It is likely massively misleading to apply the metrics of liberal democratic engagement to Japan, seeing as that system being installed is sort of the result of blatant imperialism. -

If NCR were to have official voting powers it would had to be locked like crypto projects do these days. Check velodrome or curve for example. You lock your base token to gain locked tokens that actually give you power to vote on governance
-
That way those voting will have shared interest of long term success of the project
-
Or you could just start a voting process with all the projects shareholders/leads. Why do we need crypto for this? -
We have options for the community to vote of features. This is free and cool -
-
Oh multiple communities developed a lot . -
None -
The community doesn't want votes in that way though -
Absolut nothing will get done until the two people fighting for ownership figure it out. It doesn't even mather that much who wins out. If karrel takes control, its fine too and Frooxius can start under a new name and a new Neos. This standstill is the worst for all sides. -
-
-
ffs -
that was quick -
-
-
Karel please peace with Frux 🙂
-
That is a good question -
That's actually a really good model for situations like this.
When it's issues pertaining to the actual token, it makes sense that the token holders themselves have the voting rights, not those apathetic to it. -
-
-
No one knows the answer to this question right now. The development is halted atm

Did I say they do?

it belongs to the NCR shareholders 😏

compounding that is the internal amount in-world, given that its held on behalf of the user until requested to be transitioned out. Would that amount be considered to be owned by the company, even if it's just holding on behalf of the users? -

I think Neos will get maintained by its users if it comes to it. Its community would much likely prefer it be run by players for players as opposed to some crypto-fueled corporate entity who is focused on making big bucks instead off the NCR as opposed to making a game.

In terms of IP, the company is co-owned 50/50. Whether there is legal paperwork beyond company information and accounts is another matter. I suspect not.

True.
But a toxic CEO is easily removed in any acquisition, they don't have to come as part of the deal. The talent and IP itself sits with Tomas. Without him and the community to continue development it's worthless.
But an investment under the right acquisition strategy would see this sit above pretty much every other platform that exists today.
It's already leagues ahead.
You have to ask yourself why nobody has heard of it and people want to dick around in Decentraland, Sandbox or even VRChat instead. -
-
-
-
The problem isn't that people do not know about Neos, but rather that they usually stay away from the high learning curve or other unfolding events.
VRChat is akin to the same lightning that struck Second Life and made it the juggernaut we see today: it was pure luck. There were many other platforms much like SL at the time, but they didn't get the same draw of a userbase.
This is so much so, that when Phillip Rosedale attempted to make lightning strike twice, it failed not once, but twice. Both HiFi and Sansar failed to remain relevant, despite news coverage and heavy investments, at the time outweighing Neos and VRC combined. Despite very positive note, it wasn't met with the same welcome and soon both faded to obscurity. -
You can throw money at the problem and keep its lights on, but an empty room is an empty room, no matter how many lightbulbs you put in it -
From what I've been able to find, HiFi intentionally pivoted away from VR to focus on spacalized audio chat. That seems more like a specific vision shift. -
I think the reason that not many people know about Neos is that historically (to my understanding) the main focus was on the development of product itself and not marketing it—and that's why the community around Neos remains very close nit, supportive, and very different from some platforms you have mentioned where the process was working in reverse - first marketing and then the product. - 18 August 2022 (57 messages)
-
Secondly, I don't think it's very effective to compare Neos with VR Chat, Decentraland or Sandbox etc as they have a different target market. Neos in its robustness is very heavily focused on creator community which naturally brings in different kind of audience than say VR Chat that has been primarily a socialising platform. Similarly Decentraland that you mention is targeting very different kind of audience with to their play-to-earn business model and heavy marketing, tokenizaition, DAO etc. Go to any metaverse conference where Decentraland has presence and you will see a very different kind of people.
Neither platform is necessarily better or worse in my opinion. They are just different. (Neos can definitelly beat them on their a** when it comes to functionality however, may I be pardoned for my choice of words 😁) -
Neos is more like worlds.com tbh
-
https://dot.la/philip-rosedale-metaverse-2657125163.html This is actually a really good interview where he talks about the issues with transition from 2D to 3D space. I agree there that Second Life was very sucessful in attracting people who really wanted to be there - and live there. But for majority of people that experience was still very limiting. And it still is. Until we have something that is very fluid, and easy, where you can very seemlesly transition from VR to base reality without massively complicated set up, the mass adoption won't happen. But it doesn't mean we should stop trying. Quite the opposite I think. And open-source will be the key. No locked in platform has a chance to be "the metaverse" .The true metaverse is something that will organically happen, gradually, not something we can force out. Just my opinion.Office Hours: Virtual Reality Pioneer Philip Rosedale on the Future of the MetaverseOn this episode of Office Hours, the Linden Lab and High Fidelity founder discusses Web3 and the possibilities of the metaverse.

Sansar may not have been Philips project, but the teams working on it and the HiFi group were in touch a lot. In fact, during the premiere of Ready Player One, they all went to the same theatre and talked alot before and after the movie.
As for why he thought HiFi didn't work... well....

-
(It's also a cautionary tale about just making your stuff open source and thinking that solves everything.) -
I agree there are a lot of issues and technical challenges with the open-source approach. We need to find a way to balance pro's and con's.
Neos is already quite good in tackling issues that are a major hurdle for other platforms, like all the various asset formats, or versioning. It's still not completely smooth experience but we are getting there. I think standards will play a big role in the future.
Then open Neos could become a metaverse benchmark. You could get all these niche or large branches, all co-existing alongside, everything beautifully interconnected. Just imagine being able to acess Neos from anywhere or any device. That would be a huge step forward for the whole metaverse and web3 industry. -
But yes, you still have to think of security, monetization, regulation, etc. otherwise it's a chaos. 😁Also some proprietary technology is still important because there is a (growing) base of professional and educational users.
You can see how challenging this is all going to be😅 but if we support the right values - the economy of creation and contribution, which Neos for all its flaws has got right, we are on a good path. -
And that is very exciting.☺️ -
Neos has to become an engine itself. Currently it's a showcase for what's possible without any roadmap. That's the problem when you have a CEO who's just an ideas man and doesn't drive a vision.
Some of the features today are only just coming out under other startups and yet if people knew this platform existed they'd build and invest.
To fully become the P2P decentralised platform it needs to be then it has to decouple from Unity entirely and become a new engine in its own right.
When it's done then it's open sourced and composable. -
I agree on the Unity part. It's a situational solution with many limitations. At least to my understanding as I do not claim to be an expert in that area. -

i love my time on neos so much its an amazing experience and its given me the creative means to do just about anything i wish. personally i feel its got a long way to go but i feel one day it can become the VR internet good examples is like you can open your browser and go to youtube much like logging into neos and going to a friends world so in a whole it could become the future of internet -
Thank you for sharing your lovely comment. It really warms my heart hearing that Neos is enriching your life in this way. Keep enjoying it and hope to see your creations at some point!😊 -
yeah my personal project started small but now its too big i dont think it will ever be finished. -

there are no updates at the moment 😢 -
im hitting a point where i might just focus on the mechanics of the MMO game inside neos. maybe pack it into an egg like SAO and let others use it for there own games the engine is like Health bars stamina bars hunger bars attack damage defense yadda yadda you get it kinda like a DND character sheet but automated for use in games. and being able to use it in some sword fight game or swap over to a shooter game using the same engine it just sounds like fun. -

pffft, our conversations were actually very productive, just maybe you weren't taking part in them
-
The heated points in the debate against NCR, taking away the whole drama away, seems to be that people would not want to be forced to use it, they want options and be able to use $.
This is pretty ironic because irl they are fine using FIAT which is enforced on them, and in the metaverse they refuse to accept another FIAT(a currency which bases its value on legislation, in case of NCR, code[law is code])
Irony apart, I agree with them, and anyone who understands the main why of crypto should too.
A true metaverse requires freedom.
Another point of those against NEOS getting in crypto is fear of regulation.
If governments start banning cryptos in general, or come with regulations, which is more likely, it could bring some further problems and instability as the team tries to change things in order to follow the regulation.
And if there's something they can't change then they'd have to shut it all down.
The way to go imo,
is a way to introduce NEOS which is not invasive, totally invisible to those who do not wish to use it, this way looking out for those against NCR, and this way would include ways to invest in the true value of NEOS and be tied to its growth, this way looking out for teams revenue, and investors that want to fund the team in exchange for a share in the success of NEOS.
The way I propose is for the team to make NCR a token to share the revenue NEOS generates, a sort of DAO, but that's just using a buzzword used to define a system where tokens have also voting power.
In cases of a DAO, it requires that everytime a proposal is passed, it is automatically executed and fulfilled by the code, in order to fit the definition.
We can't do that in this case so the votes and proposals would just end up being suggestions that the team is invited to take into consideration, but not forced in any way to fulfill, since its not real shares of a publicly listed company.
the team could also make their own AMM (an example of AMM is Uniswap)
which is used ingame to settle transactions. People in game can hold, spend, demand to be used as their payment whatever currency they choose.
The NEOS AMM would convert the currencies as a service, taking a fee from the spender and redistributing the fees to NCR stakers.
The selling of storage for NCR would also continue, but without removing patreon until you have a way for people to pay using fiat from your official website.
Then that is to be distributed to NCR stakers aswell, of course, you decide what % to dedicate to investors, and each staker gets a % relative to their staked amount.
Afterall, this is investing, this is the definition of it, funding a company with cash today, in exchange for a share of the profits, which with your contribution, you hope will increase and grow.
Everything else is just speculation, not investing.
When you buy NCR right now you are just speculating, not investing. - 19 August 2022 (53 messages)

Take a look at Entropia Universe if you've never heard of it. Even Linden Dollars never required a cryptocurrency to support the creator economy.
NCR has failed because of its design, the fact that there is also a Patreon set up shows that the money made from the ATH wasn't reinvested into the platform, it just went on a lavish lifestyle.
When you list an inworld currency on an external exchange you lose control over the economics. That's why Axie and everything x-to-earn has failed and is unsustainable.
DAOs are a joke. The only one I've seen working effectively is BitDAO because the governance model works and the community is active. I don't see anything here to suggest this would work for Neos, especially in terms of governance. -
How many concurrent users can Neos support at any one time? Interesting that with the distributed architecture there's unlimited potential vs claims from players like Improbably or RP1 with the traditional client-server set up that can host 2000-4000 people in a single shard. -
Problem is less on how many people can fit in a high end headless client and more of "at what point do people's frame rate become too unbearable." Even with p2p connections, networked tasks are not an issue. -
I dont know what the highest peak session was yet, but I have seen 40+ sessions in the past
-
-
-
The 40+ was like a year ago without a culling systems and lowpoly avatars only with everyone as spectators... I thiink it was something around 52 peeps and we utilized the servers gbit connection nearly fully out
-
Oh we had several attempts were people just wanted to test out their headlesses. We usually had invited all each other and just tried to join.
It was nice, first we were surprised we could reach over 20. Months later over 30 and then with low poly avatars way higher. -
Yeah, I specified the "Fear of gov regulations or bans" as the 2nd point.
I guess I forgot to specify that other than the team, it can also affect the players.
And for those referencing Linden dollars, or other centralized virtual currencies, the governments usually regulates those too.
"Crypto" is just a technology which dictates how the currency behaves and moves from nodes.
But in my country , for example I would need to pay taxes on Linden Dollars too, and whatever virtual currency that is convertible into real world FIAT.
What falls under scrutiny and regulation is usually " virtual currencies", and it just happens that most of the time, virtual currencies use crypto technology.
so, making up a centralized systems copying robux or linden dollars is not a way to move away from this issue. -
It looks like most of the comments on my points didnt read it fully, just skimmed through the buzzwords and assumed what I meant :L -
I criticized DAOs and I get messages criticizing DAOs , assumed I was praising them and saying that they are a good and possible idea.
Whereas in the message I made it very clear that I used DAO as a buzzword to summon its ideals, and explain how it would not work. -
there are many "cryptos" that call themselves that and then there's nothing crypto about them, they work exactly like linden dollars, centralized systems.
Crypto and Virtual currencies have melted together these past years, because an outstanding majority of virtual currencies, are using crypto technology.
It would be like confusing FIAT currency with paper bills/banknotes, which look like banknotes backed by gold, which are NOT FIAT.
So, what falls under regulation and scrutiny is often Virtual Currencies, they could care less about the technology behind them, if there is some hamster on a wheel managing the transactions, if it's a blockchain, centralized server.
As long as you can get them with real money, make transactions, and then convert them back into real money, they want to regulate it. -

nothing new except the usual buybacks
-
what about updates are they resumed yet -
-
situation still depressing as ever then. Devs had a huge opportunity they missed scooping up VRCs market after the anticheat update -
-
sometimes better to bite the bullet and take advantage of opportunities especially when its a competitor showing weakness -
kinda brutalist I know. Thats just how you think when you grow up hungry I guess. Imma go eat cuz I can -
I guess. I think we still have gotten quite a bit of impact despite the situation. Neos is still far from mass ready though, we'd still have to wait on updates for awhile before the other platform's players were happy. Which is why I don't think if devs were to suddenly start updating in reaction to VRC, that we would be getting any more players than we already have.
-
Its more a matter of keeping the ones we did get. Because there was a massive spike -
Mhm, and I think that was a great testing phase for many people, just to see what the platform was like, chillout's participation was rather similar with a spike and also retaining a smaller amount. Now how long can we keep the current people if we don't have updates, how many care or don't care to see updates? Neos at least has a lot of tools to attend to the needs of advanced players
-
Uh... No? Linden dollar is only taxed on cash out, and based only on that. It does not matter how old your balance is or you purchased it at a specific rate.
You literally get tax forms from Tilia based on what they reported to the US government, and thus leave it up to you to handle things based on that.
Not saying it is an ultimate solution, but clarifying the example given. -
Yeah, in my country thats the same regulation that goes with crypto. -
I am taxed on cash outs -
and I must declare my holdings of virtual currencies -
they dont even specify the word "crypto" anywhere.
it's about virtual currency and money laundering prevention -
Weird... -
again, "crypto" is just the infrastructure, the technology that some virtual currencies decide to use for ruling their transaction mechanism. -
But let's not get lost arguing in semantics, the point is that Virtual Currencies require government regulation, regardless of the technology used to operate transactions,supply etc.
So the main concern of the debate that I pointed out, the fear of NEOS team getting in trouble dealing with cryptos, or even singular NEOS players getting in trouble having held cryptocurrencies, is extended to every kind of virtual currency that can be purchased and then sold.
As they pose risks felt by the government like fiscal evasion, money laundering.
So that is not a reason that makes one better than the other, they are both virtual currencies and risk facing the same scrutiny. -

Works fine if you don't use the mouse for looking around
https://twitter.com/FlameSoulis/status/1561071882731937793LinkDoes it work with a SteamDeck? Yes, but the mouse is janky due to a bug with the SteamDeck itself. Works fine in menus, though. ~40FPS at 1080p. Not bad, considering the Deck is designed for 720p. Not tested with Proton: Neos has native Linux binaries. #NeosVR

Hi Riz, any business queries should go to hello@neos.com. Many thanks😊 -
What does it mean to exit and save homes?? -
When you start neos, your client opens two worlds in the beginning. Both of them are your Home. The first one is the local home, the second one that you stay inside after logging into Neos is your cloud home. That question asks, if any changes should be saved to both of these homes -
Ohhh okay thank you! -
-
This is correct -
I wish we explained the homes better somehow -
I know we want to redesign them -
-
There was no inventory in the start. To see what that's like start the scratch space world template the reason it existed was so you could go get the tools and stuff you needed -
In any case, it can be an advantage if you WANT to actually store things only locally, like big videos when you don't have enough storage, different versions or things you work on unoptimized (again, with limited cloud storage) or as a storage place for things you delete from inventory to save space. In any case its an important difference if the local home is actually used as a home and not just as preload-world (kept empty) -
-
-
if it wants to acquire a local asset, it looks through all connected worlds, whether they are hosted by the asset owner (machine id) or the asset owner is connected to. Then it chooses an unfocused world to send the request or as a fallback the focused world. I don't remember if the algorithm prefers connections with a single hop than two -

I am curious if some of you have been toying around with DALL·E 2 as a source of creative inspiration.

İs the guy player in Neos who made the video?The TRAGIC Fall A VR Game With Unlimited PotentialHello. Today I have a full on documentary of probably the most tragic story within the entire VR industry. Developers shafted, a $500,000,000 market cap shriveled into nothing, and a community left torn. But there is still hope. Actually something interesting I came across, Neos had a Quest/ Quest 2 and Oculus go version in development as well. Interesting addition. Basically though, crypto tore Neos apart from the inside out, no matter how compelling the technology. Thank you to everyone that participated in my dozens of interviews. This is one of the largest "journalistic" videos I have ever done and it took a lot of work, but I hope you enjoyed it.

I'm sure local videos can be streamed, just even less good than streaming already is for long video
-
-
Local assets always need to be downloaded before viewing. Additionally the local asset has to be uploaded (sent) to each of the people in the session from the user who has said local asset. At the very least, to the host.
More Ideally a video would be saved to the Neos cloud inventory so that all users can download it faster and the user sharing the video only needs to upload the video once. Also assumes they go to their home world or another session with no one else when spawning the video in from local assets/their pc to then save it to their cloud inventory. -

Hi everyone,
I found this neat little software which might come handy for those of you who like anime-like avatars and want a degree of control over how they look, without necessarily having to do it all from scratch.
It's quite customizable, and it's free. https://vroid.com/en/studio
The only real hurdle has been importing .vrm to Neos. Does anyone have good workflow suggestion on how to best import these type of files?
My workflow so far has been pushing them through Blender to .fbx using a python script. But somehow it's not linking the skin and hair correctly in Neos.VRoid Studio3D Modeling, for Everyone! VRoid Studio is an application to create 3D models of humanoid avatars (characters).Create original characters on this intuitive and highly Adaptable Software. Easy to use for everyone!
-
She's my work in progress. Totally need an avatar with glowing white hair in my life 😁 -
Wow! That's awesome! Thank you for the share.
-
https://github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin typically can help. Can't really assist troubleshooting without seeing then specific model in neos, but I am guessing that 'not linking the skin and hair correctly' means that those models have separate armatures. That can be resolved by using this feature of the plugin: https://github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin#merge-armatures
I also recommend exporting as glb. Vrm is actually an extension of glb.GitHub - absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin: :smiley_cat: A tool designed to shorten steps needed to import and optimize models into VRChat.

vrm is just a glb with avatar extensions. Neos could be extended to vrm import to import fully functional avatars skipping the Avatar creator. So a vrm could be dragged into Neos in the future -
