Hi NxM family, as per this proposal, two tracks are now available on the NxM store.

The subsequently 2 more tracks would be released in September to complete the EP for which I’d make a corresponding proposal.

Hi @Mercuri, thank you for the report. Can you update some information about the following breakdown besides the EP minted on Mintbase? Thank you!

Hi @williamx The bulk of marketing and promotional efforts are scheduled post release of the Full EP as they would be self-financed.

as per my breakdown, any promo efforts before full payments and clearances of the production is not a sound strategy in my humble opinion.
However consistent content creation and social media engagement and twitter spaces are ways i’ve been keeping my community engaged for my releases

Thank you for the update. I look forward to seeing the continued efforts to take care of the traction of those EPs after the project is fully deployed.

Please create a proposal on NxM Astro DAO for the remaining 50% of the budget asked.
