  1. There's so much activity in that discord channel that I have a hard time keeping up. I still have not had any response to my lowball offer on this horse: https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/7976 I'm thinking hard about buying a Z9 Genesis that had 5.95 odds in his G race, but has raced 7 times with the best finish being 3rd. Price is .26 ETH. Seem like a decent buy to y'all?
  2. Why is this race showing no odds? https://knowyourhorses.com/races/eQcqugGQ
  3. FOMO got the better of me and I made a low-ball offer on an unraced Z19 crossbreed. The mare it was breed from is a Z3 Nakamoto with only its G race with 6.6 odds. The stallion only had it's G race too with 19.26 odds, so it's a crap shoot. I offered .1 and they seller hasn't been active on Opensea at all this week, so who knows when it will be accepted/rejected.
  4. Plug the particulars into the recent sales section of this and you'll get a pretty decent idea of value: http://zed-nucleus.com/opensea/
  5. Damn. So much of the value is derived from the odds, that's nuts.
  6. I wasn't switched on yet, what were horses going for in the last drop?
  7. Agreed on being at a huge disadvantage. My first gut read is that my only hope if I've got an itchy trigger finger to get into the game is to buy an unraced horse with decent bloodline/zenotype and hope to get lucky.
  8. Thank you all, great info. And thanks for the link @Nice Guy Eddie - I've been stumbling through the default opensea marketplace that had fuckall for filter options - this is so much better.
  9. That's handy, thanks. And yea, Reaper is sporting the upside down U that is trash. It might be better to buy a cheap one that has fewer races in the hope that the owner just hasn't found the ideal race type yet? https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/16911 This one is listed with a minimum bid of .1 ETH
  10. I can't decide if I should buy a horse from the marketplace now or wait for the next drop and hope I can catch one. Is there an online tool to help assess value or find value or are you guys just digging through the Opensea marketplace and looking at horses until you think you've found decent value? How would you compare these two? One is a Z9 that has run 42 races and won 0, priced at .155 ETH and the other is Z24 that has won 5% of 40 races run and is priced at .165 ETH. https://matic.opensea.io/order/75226 https://matic.opensea.io/order/75877
  11. What a shitty conversation this turned into.
  12. Damn, that looks like a quality horse. Where did you buy it and how much was it - if you don't mind sharing?
  13. I used MetaMask to create my account. It's insane that the cheapest horse on the OpenSea marketplace is $205 and that is the only one that is less than $400! I'm reading some of their intro materials, but this is a steep learning curve.
  14. I'm in the same spot as Squish - willing to Venmo funds to @Nice Guy Eddie to participate in the Surly Cartel if you have a spot. After getting used up (sans lube) by fees I don't know how good of a horse I can get on my own...
  15. And the god damn fees on all of this are outrageous. I thought one of the main attractions of cypto was to avoid the fees that banks charge, but this makes the banks look like a fucking charity. 18% to convert ETH to WETH!?
  16. Man, I've spent the last hour or so trying to figure this shit out and I feel like a feeble old man. I've created an account on Zed, connected it to MetaMask, funded MetaMask with ETH from Bittrex and now I need an OpenSea account? I need a nap.
  17. Is it too late to get in on the fake horse cartel? I've been following in the background here and would like to participate if it's not too late - or on the next fake horse if it's too late for Reasonable.
  18. This is the confounding part for me too. It's all about the way Dotard makes them FEEL, not the results that he was able to drive or the vision of the USA that he is pushing. It's all about feelings, grievance, owning the libs, etc. etc. etc. White men are really the people who are being oppressed in this country and he's the only one stoking that fear.
  19. I did a quick dive on it a few weeks back and couldn't get myself comfortable enough, mainly because of the old "if it seems too good to be true" mantra.
  20. This is pretty much my understanding of Rudy's connection to all of this as well. I'd just add that Toensing, deGenevo, and John Solomon were all running a smoke screen for all of this BS on Fox News/The Hill to make it more politically acceptable for Trump to pardon Firtash and continue to push for a smear job on Biden. I hope that T&G get popped for FARA violations as well. I sure wish Barr's fuckery would be investigated in this shit too.
  21. i.e., I realize my take was incorrect and I'm taking my ball and going back to the safe space of the DT. Seriously, all of those were horrific events, but they are missing a pretty clear differentiator with 1/6 - the sitting POTUS' team organizing said event... This isn't that difficult.
  22. I think it is. It will spit off a nice dividend and will continue to rise if oil keeps creeping up to $80.
  23. I live on a lake and the assholes who hug the shoreline to surf make me ragey af. Why don't those fuckheads realize they don't need glass to plow a 10k+ lb boat through the water to make a wave? It's especially aggravating when the water is higher than normal and the waves come up on the deck or toss around kids who are playing in the water in front of the dock. More than once I've given the "dad yell" at them for being too close and tossing kids around.
