Been collecting pokemon cards and I want to transition to illuvitar d1sks but i keep pulling these QR code cards and just had this realisation that this is an underrated strategy.

I remember Yu-gi-oh and many others used to attach their physical merch to digital products/cards for a long time and it has since gone out of style. However I think nfts and true digital ownership could bring it back.

What I suggest is this. Every single piece of merch or merch over x price (considering cost to manufacture and illuviums margin and so on). Also comes with a special code on the product tag. This code enables you to redeem a free standard Illuvitar D1sk. Meaning those that love the merch will be incentivised to learn more about the digital aspects of illuvium. This is a big deal when illuvium is a recognisable IP. Similar to how many Pokemon fans are just fans of the merch.

The only downside is it makes the entire refunds policy hazy since people can claim the code then attempt to return product. However since this is onchain there may be solutions in the mix. For example invalidating the code digitally and/or rejecting refund requests if the code has been claimed.

How about instead of tying it to the individual Merch you tie it to the payment recite?

For example I'm buying Merch over 50$ and that qualifies me for a standard Disk that's currently available. And when I decide to pay I leave me ENS or ETH address and get automatically a Disk send. And if I pay with ETH the address is in the system and a Disk can be airdropped.

Alternative you could make the payment recite an NFT that can be send to your Wallet and you can burn it to get a Disk? That way recite can get traded or gifted as a voucher 😂

# neat vigil Yeah i really like this hmmm

Thinking about it. When you buy something you usually give your email at the end to create an account (unless you do "shop as a guest"). If you use your Illuvium account for shopping a Disk could directly be transferred to your Wallet that's tied to that account.

And if you new, the email could be used to set up a new account with a custodial solution, like in the normal game modes.

And if you shop as a guest you can as mentioned above ether leave a ETH address or get a redemption code send to your email.

Nevertheless what or how. I like the idea to reward behavior. Even simple shopping. That could be gamefied too.

Maybe shopping would add you to a leaderboard? And when you shop enough Merch it unlocks special accessories for Illuvitars?

That would boost revenue for the DAO 🤣
