This clip from LeoFinance's Chain Chatter podcast kicks off with 
This is one of the beautiful things about building a project from the ground up. When you start getting users and start gaining traction, you start receiving feedback. That feedback becomes a key deciding factor in how you develop toward your 1, 2, 5 and 10+ year vision.
The community is everything. When you start getting that feedback, keep your ear to the ground and always be listening. I love taking this approach with LeoFinance and I think Splinterlands is a glorious example of this being done right at scale.
In this clip, we talk about:
- SPL was a good idea immediately, Matt jumped in because he would invest shitons of $ himself
- MTGOX (Magic The gathering online exchange)
- The gaming industry is highly competitive and the SPL idea sounded like magic
- Change is constant
- Bring out the project because it's late in the game and leverage users to grow altogether
- Benchmark with other game dapps
- Validator nodes: Side chain for SPL petty tx
- Khal: Building with new tech guarantees chaos, so you gotta build a long term vision and find a community that jumps in
- Filter speedbumps from trash, iterations to make it work
- Backburner cause it no longer fits the vision or found a better alternative
- Go back to the drawing board: is this fulfilling the vision?
- Dan: See the mountain you're climbing
- Have a plan but be ready for the worst case scenario
- 10-15yrs: I don't matter, it runs on its own
- Set goals and if you can't do it alone, find a team and learn from the experience
- See people who can fully have a totally decentralized video ecosystem
- Have L2 digital communities: video, short form, written but immutable
