Discuss Pausing Mint Temporarily, Reopening w/ Higher Mint (V2)

(Edited to fit Tuda's format suggestion)

Grant/Price/Cost: $0

Abstract: While I appreciate the fact that this group isn't obsessed with floor price and the unfulfilled mint, I do think it's behoove the project as a whole to start implementing mechanisms and strategies to accelerate the mint completion as it is, after all, considerable objective and will ameliorate and expedite other aspects of our roadmap. We cannot deny the fact that minting completion is a significant consideration for most NFT purchasers, so showing that we've achieved such a feat will provide immediate credibility. My primary objective is to increase perceived value/demand by creating temporary scarcity and incentives to mint and purchase secondary supply via "impending event" tactics. By notifying followers and potential members of our plan (described below), we will increase demand for both mint and secondary THO transactions in the short term and increase the intrinsic value of the project as a whole.

Description/Roadmap: (Note: The numbers are just an example to illustrate my idea, and this proposal is intended to open the dialogue of specifics more so than offer a fully baked plan. )

Step 1. THO can announce the mint will pause in X days, which will direct attention to the secondary market, inherently raising the floor.

Step 2. Once the floor reaches 0.08 ETH (and/or roadmap goal is achieved), mint will reopen at 0.0777. Existing holders will be added to an OG list, which gives them early minting access at a reduced rate (maybe 0.066). This will also help drive interest to the secondary market for anyone not currently owning a THO.

We could also consider a WL for non-holders (Step 1.5) and give them a price somewhere between OG and 0.0777, or we could ONLY open the mint for the WL and they have X days to mint at 0.0777 before it closes again.

THO element helped: I believe this will help all elements of our project as it will grow our community, grow our presence, improve marketable perception of value, and (obviously) increase financial security which can assure and/or expedite other goals fruition, reinforce marketing, other investment options, etc.

Struggles/hardships: I feel the most challenging task will be getting the floor above our purposed reopening mint price in order to reopen the mint, but I don't think it's completely necessary in order to make this successful.
