# Discord — The Feeds

Two automated feeds report what is happening on PD, in near real time, with the
art attached. They are the fastest read on the market the platform has.

- **The sales feed** — every completed sale.
- **The listings feed** — every Output put up for sale.

Both check for new activity **every minute**, so a post lands within about sixty
seconds of the thing it reports.

## Nothing is filtered out

Other platforms' feeds usually set a dollar floor to keep noise down. **PD's own
feeds have no floor at all** — every real sale and every real listing posts, at
any price. Nothing on PD gets hidden for being small.

## The sales feed

A sale post carries the Output as its image and reads top to bottom:

| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| **Title** | The Output and its artist — `Project #42 — @artist` — plus its mint date. Links to the Output's page. |
| **Image** | The actual artwork. |
| **Buyer** | Who bought it. |
| **Seller** | Who sold it. |
| **Sale type + price** | The price in ETH with the live USD value beside it. The ETH figure links to the transaction. |
| **Artist Royalty** | What the artist earned on the sale, in ETH and USD, linking to the Project. |
| **Footer** | `#42 / 500 • Price Discussion` — the edition and the supply. |

### Two kinds of sale, two colors

The post is color-coded so you can tell at a glance how the sale happened:

- **LISTING SALE** *(green)* — a buyer paid a seller's asking price.
- **ITEM OFFER** *(blue)* — a seller accepted an offer someone made on the Output.

### The royalty line

The royalty field reports what the sale **actually paid** the artist, not what it
theoretically should have. On the rare sale that routed around the artist's
royalty, the field says **"No royalty paid"** in plain language rather than
quietly printing a number. PD's own marketplace enforces royalties, so sales
that happen on PD always pay.

## The listings feed

A listing post is deliberately lighter — a thumbnail rather than a full image,
since listings are far more frequent than sales:

- **Title** — the Output and its artist, plus its mint date, linking to the Output.
- **Listed by** — the seller, named the same way as in the sales feed.
- **For** — the asking price in ETH with the USD value beside it.
- **Footer** — the edition and supply.

## How people are named

This is the part worth understanding, because it is the same identity you built
in the app:

- **If you have a PD account**, the feed draws your **full ASCII-ID** — your
  PriceSprite, your PriceRank badge, your `@name`, and your Sigil if you have
  forged one and left it visible. Your name links to your PD profile.
- **If you don't**, there is no PD page to point at, so the feed falls back to
  your ENS name, or a shortened wallet address if you have no ENS. That name
  links to the block explorer instead.

The practical upshot: **set a `@name` on PD before you buy or sell** if you want
to be a person in the feed rather than a string of hex.

## The value channels

Every post goes to the main feed channel. Sales above certain USD values **also**
echo into higher-value channels, so you can follow the whole market or only the
significant moves without drowning:

| Channel tier | Gets |
|---|---|
| Main feed | Everything |
| $500+ | Sales worth $500 or more |
| $1,000+ | Sales worth $1,000 or more |
| $5,000+ | Sales worth $5,000 or more |
| $10,000+ | Sales worth $10,000 or more |

A sale lands in the main feed and in **one** value channel — the highest it
qualifies for — so a $6,000 sale appears in the main feed and the $5,000
channel, not in every tier beneath it.

The listings feed runs a simpler split: the main listings channel gets
everything, with one higher-value channel alongside it.

## Prices and USD

ETH is the figure of record; the USD beside it is converted at the rate when the
post was written and is there for a sense of scale. It is not re-calculated
later, so an old post shows what the sale was worth on the day — which is
usually what you want when scrolling back.
