First There Was MetaCartel

MetaCartel

***(raw paste from here)***

In a galaxy, a short while ago, a band of creators gathered
together with the mission of building a better Web 3.0
With the conversation around meta-txs being started during ETHBerlin, we
 continued it on online.

Recognising the need for collaboration between projects on meta
transactions and relayer design, we formed a telegram group.
So we had our first community call. Here was our first agenda, it was a
very long agenda. It would kick off the rolling ball of culture,
creativity and memehood that we would know of.
Community call #0 (Sept)

ETHSanFransisco (Oct)
During this time, we had became infamous through our memes

It was full of ups and downs.
Okay, maybe more downs than up.
Our logo was created.

    “Moritz, Austin, Mark, Pedro, Seb & Jehan got hacking.
Peter spent his time researching cryptoeconomics applications for our
project — whether we need an open access participatory network or not.
MP got shilling and pep-talking (sort of). Okay. We’re lying. He just
made memes. Scott was named the scapegoat when the team trolled Peter
way too much, but then we figured out Scott’s too nice so he came out of
 the hackathon without a scratch.

    Most importantly, Franky, MP, and Peter got together and
created a logo, which Franky drew masterfully. We can’t be happier — no
matter how controversial it is.”

And as the days went by, SF blockchain week was over and we finally had
to say goodbye for then.

The community began out of a shared interested in meta
transactions (meta-txs) but we stuck around for the internet culture
that we all shared. The community before we knew it, has grown beyond
something more than just a working group on meta-txs.

We have something special between all of us here. Lets see what we can all make of it.
