  1. Yea, the gas you get charged to change ETH to WETH within the Zed game varies depending on network congestion on the blockchain. I didn't know this at first and got stung for a painful amount of gas. Late at night it usually much cheaper. I do think there were some hiccups with buying horses on OS with ETH not working properly in Zed, but that may be sorted out by now. @SquishMitten
  2. I'm glad shes going to the mat on this. I can't believe these ass hats are trying to paper over this - I mean, I can, but god damn, this is some depraved shit. Even if iT wAS aNTifA that did this, shouldn't we want to figure that out and do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen again!? With all the video evidence how can such a sizable portion of our populace think this was a nothingburger that doesn't even warrant an investigation? Man, out of all the BS from the last year and the whole Trump experience, this is the thing that makes me most despondent. I just can't understand it. Can't abide it. Won't abide it.
  3. Hell yea Squish, get in there! Post up any questions you might have. I stumbled around painfully for a while before feeling comfortable with the various ETHs/wallets/gas/etc. There are a lot more good resources for trying to find a horse now too, the easiest/best being https://www.hawku.com/zed Lots of good info on the Zed discord too about getting started. There was a reset on genesis breeding yesterday so there are a lot of cheap horses floating around today. Try to find one with <10 odds that can hang out in class IV as a place to start - you can sometimes find value with someone selling a horse before finding it's best racing distance. But if a horse is consistently pulling 20+ odds, then it's likely it's always going to be a donkey.
  4. Splashing it around on the Crypto thread too. Although he's pimping ETH instead of bitcoin trying to throw everyone off the scent trail.
  5. Quite a bit of good PR for Zed today. It looks like more and more "mainstream" capital is pouring into the NFT space and Zed has an early jump with collaborations with Stella Artois, Atari and The Preakness. Hopefully this allows them to hire more engineers and build out better servers to cut the racing lead times <8 hours as well... https://www.wsj.com/articles/tcg-and-andreessen-horowitz-invest-in-startup-behind-virtual-horse-racing-platform-11626865200https://www.wsj.com/articles/tcg-and-andreessen-horowitz-invest-in-startup-behind-virtual-horse-racing-platform-11626865200
  6. So much this. In the current GOP it's not so much about how you actually do your job or what your values are, it's about what you SAY to the shitheels on social media! It's inconsequential that Liz's voting record is much more conservative than her replacement, she won't bend the knee so she's actually a libtard/cuck/rino/loser who must be primaried and destroyed at all costs!
  7. I bought some ETH today too. Mainly for my degenerate NFT/Zed habits that are worsening, but I figured it was a decent time to buy as well.
  8. True story. It only happened that first day and I only got one the last time around.
  9. Sounds like an awesome day, congrats on the hook up! I don't understand why what he said twisted you off so much though - he's right. Fly fishing is hard af. I know you've been at it for a while, but (from what I understand) catching a Tarpon on the fly is one of the harder things you can do with a fly rod... Is there more context to what he said? I had a fly fishing guide (on my first ever trip) tell me to stop being a bitch after I kept getting visibly frustrated by trying to cast into the wind. I didn't take offense, I shook it off and tried to not let the wind bug me so much, i.e. she was right. @troph
  10. Looks like it might be time for me to buy more XOM and VDE. FML on all the rest of my shit stonks.
  11. Thank you! There's a few decent food trucks in Nac, but nothing to get too excited about. I'll have to try this one out. And F you too. 😉
  12. I think they do need to raise the minimums for breeding, but agree with @gyroprotagonist that taking Nak Genesis minimums all the way up to .48 will not have the result these huge stables think it will. It would increase the amount they get for a cover, but decrease the total number of covers they are getting. It will definitely alter my plans for breeding. It's so cheap right now to breed my Buterins that I'll breed every time in the hopes that I scratch off a winning lotto ticket and get a good racer. I sold off 3 of the 5 horses I got from breeding my genesis filly in the last round and at least doubled my investment on all of them. I kept one of the fillies I got from that round to breed for lotto tickets, but will sell her off if the stud fees increase this much. I bought a bad ass Legendary Buterin filly last week to breed with my strongest racing stallion - https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/32194 she won back to back races in class III last night. Currently at a ~17% win rate and 39% ROI. 24 more days until I can breed her with Despicable Lemon. Lemon has been feasting on all the new class V racers too, he won 3 races yesterday including one that paid out $97.
  13. I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND, BUDDY!
  14. This seems like it could be a problem: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/07/tether-cryptocurrency-usdt-what-you-need-to-know.html
  15. It's no place for small independents to play anymore for sure. The ARO and associated surety bonds/collateral that are required make it almost impossible for smaller companies to operate on the GOM shelf.
  16. No, they were my biggest client for quite a few years.
  17. Furk. That one hits close to home.
  18. Can't give up such a valuable card in the culture wars.
  19. Hahahahahaha! Perfect answer. I was getting a little bored too, but breeding has been a nice shot in the arm. I do wish they could unfuck themselves on their tech issues, because it does seem like they are trying to run this thing on a bunch of old Gateway 486s strung together in the corner of Jay's Mom's basement.
  20. Yea, that's a good looking horse and him throwing off a strong odds racer is great for your future earnings. You still looking to bail out?
  21. This is pretty much me. About to be on planes quite a bit more and I don't want to be the guy that gets other people sick. And this is almost me too. Pops isn't a retired doctor, but is 70 years old, 30lbs overweight, has COPD, and still hits the lung darts. Proactively not getting the shot. 😟
  22. I've been racing Despicable against the fresh glue trying to improve his odds some and also trying to figure out how much I can charge and still get all 3 of his covers used. He's pulled odds between 6.07 - 9.06 in his last 10 races. Some people on the Zed Discord are asking .15 - .2 stud fees for horses that are less successful on the track than him with similar bloodlines. I'm thinking I'll probably put DL out to stud this evening for .07 - .09 and post it on the Zed breeding Discord channel. I've raced all of my new horses except for one, I'm having a hard time getting The Dude into a G race. Odds on their Gs so far: Donny Kerabatsos - 24.5 Maude Lebowski - 18.76 Autumn Sunrise - 27.5 Jackie Treehorn - 8.38 (!) The Dude - ??? I'm pretty pumped to get one decent horse out out this batch so far. My filly is nothing special at all so my strategy was to find the best blood I could for cheap and try to catch a winning lotto ticket by breeding her as much as possible. The glitch moved up my timeline, but we'll see if Jackie continues to pull decent odds and win a few. For anyone looking to get in on the game for pretty cheap I think there will be tons of horses for sale at less an .1 ETH. I've got Donny up for sale already for .175: https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/31032 @SquishMitten
  23. If you haven't been running your horses for a while, now is a good time to try to get into the cheaper races. Lemon is pulling 6-7 odds when he usually pulls 8-9. Lots of glue being trotted out onto the track for the first time this morning.
