SIP | Modernizing File Size Limits on SuperRare

This is a well written proposal, and kudos for noticing something that a lot of creators struggle with and taking the initiative to formulate something to help address it. But my intuition says this is outside of the DAO’s jurisdiction. There’s nothing at the contract/protocol level that restricts what you upload. As far as I understand it’s entirely a user-interface limit on the .com mint page.

There are creators that mint to SR token contracts straight through etherscan with self-constructed metadata and pin their own files to IPFS to get around the cap. Doing that is technical for sure, but is effectively the same outcome as minting to a sovereign contract on Manifold– which is another route creators can use.

I think that if this went up for vote, that it would pass is basically guaranteed. But it challenges where the line between what features of SuperRare.com are up for governing by the DAO. So I’d like to see a little more clarity about that delineation beforehand.

(Not saying OP that you should be providing that clarity- but probably something that should get brought up with the council and SR founders at a town hall.)
