It has been promised by Dish that it would come with NFTs. It is legally required to cover 20 percent of Americans. After about a month of testing, I have acquired one of these NFTs and can tell you everything you need to know. Set your expectations low.
They were hard to ignore while I was testing the service, known as Project Genesis. When I opened the Project Genesis app, it showed me how close I was to getting an NFT. The easy part of earning an NFT was doing the tasks. It was my fault that it took so long to get it into a wallet because of an unfortunate series of events.
NFTs are involved with Project Genesis because of the headline, which gets to the heart of why they are involved in the first place. What kind of service do they get at certain locations, do they have enough bandwidth to actually use their phones, what does real-world coverage look like are some of the things that Dish needs to know.
You can use the app to check in at a new location, send a text, or watch a video. Doing these tasks nets you points, which can be used to increase your rank, if you call your mom enough times. The rewards come in a set of tiers. As soon as you sign up for the app, you will get a Project Genesis cup, but it will remind you that the real prizes are still to come, and you will get Project Genesis earbuds and a limited edition NFT.
If you give enough feedback through the surveys, your service may get better. The company's actual engineers look at the feedback from the app and will sometimes reach out to people to get more info.
It is nice to have some sort of feedback mechanism as a result of the gamification of the experience of complaining about bad cell reception. All you can do is be annoyed when you hit a dead zone with another carrier. It's possible that the company will do something about it.
Quality of service and customer feedback are important. I didn't try out the service because I wanted to experience the launch of a new carrier. I did it because I wanted to. It's Nft! It is not yet possible to tell how much of a difference my feedback will make. For over a week after I received my Project Genesis phone, I dutifully log into the app and do everything but call 10 people because I refuse to talk on the phone.
A pop-up box, a burst of confetti, and a finished task. All I had to do was enter my Cardano wallet address to claim it was get the NFT.
I was left wondering what the heck is Cardano, despite the fact that I wrote an explainer on the topic. I went to search for a wallet that I could use to get an address and see the NFT, which I had never heard of before. For the uninitiated, a wallet is the app you use to access your digital assets.
This is where I messed up. When you search for "Cardano wallet", the first results are from the Cardano website. I downloaded it, installed it, and entered it into the Project Genesis app. I was told that my NFT would arrive in 48 hours.
I wouldn't have known because it took me a long time to get Daedalus up and running. It isn't just a wallet like Metamask or Coinbase's wallet, where you just set it up and can add and see assets immediately, instead it downloads a copy of the entire Cardano blockchain. It took me around a dozen or so hours to get my laptop up to speed.
It isn't a slight on Daedalus, nor is it Dish's fault that I downloaded this wallet without researching it. It may be a good idea to have a button that tells you how to redeem the NFT. Learning about the things in abstract and figuring out which app I should be using to redeem this specific one are two different things. The button may have taken me to a page with that information, but I didn't tap it because I knew what an NFT was.
After a few nights of running full tilt, my computer finally downloaded the entire block and the transaction that held my NFT. It was in my wallet. The moment of truth was when I went back to the Project Genesis app and pressed the "text a friend" button to see what I had done.
This is what I was told to expect.
It doesn't seem like a unique NFT. The transaction that deposited this wonderful piece of art into my wallet also sent a few other influencer-tier NFTs to other people, and the image included seemed to be the same for those people as well. There is a different level of NFT called the "pro" level. Are you interested in seeing it? It's too bad, along with the top-tier "Founder" one.
Was getting a tattoo dog in Las Vegas worth all the trouble? I had to pump a lot of power into my computer so it could confirm transactions.
It is absolutely true that not. That's right, but! Two weeks after I made rank, I received an email from Project Genesis that was pleasant. I was reminded that my 10,000 points had earned me an NFT and a pair of Project Genesis Earbuds and that the process for claiming these simply involved clicking a link and entering in a code. I was given three months of service for free, which would be applied to my account.
Project Genesis has an unlimited plan for $30 per month. Just because I pressed a few buttons in an app a few times a day, it adds up to $90.05). I feel like I'm an influential person.
