  1. props to @The Royal We for tagging me on this.
  2. there are about 1000 students + ~200 staff at my kids' school (K-12th). 19 total cases right now so ~1.5%. they have been 100% masked to start the year and did a bunch of drive through vax deals last year to encourage the older kids to get theirs. masks seem to be working. sucks they have to do another year with them but maybe 2nd semester they can revisit if cases are down.
  3. Ivermectin? I barely know 'em the guy in the 12 spot for our draft went Kyler and Dak with his back-to-back 3rd and 4th round picks. dafuq?
  4. go to a doc and get some steroids.
  5. once the border is walled off, no more rapes since 100% of all crime was committed by illegals.
  6. i minted 3 of these today https://lostpoets.xyz/#discover not too sure i understand what they are, but this 'pak' is revered in nft space. so much that he/it/they sold 65000 units at .32 per. a cool $82m or so before lunch.
  7. Lol. Reese witherspoon just tweeted about buying some eth.
  8. crap like concert tickets where you get the fans to buy/possess the nft from the band then the website checks you wallet before letting you purchase the tickets. I mean eventually people would probably sell the nft to scalpers but then no one can bitch about it since they had the chance to keep the token and get access to all concerts at face value. also a good source of revenue for the band for royalty fees with each sale. I could see popular bands' tokens commanding very high prices on the open market.
  9. tend to agree but i got into all this when ETH was $4K. just depends what your risk tolerance is and how much of a starting war chest you want. but people who want to only dabble with < $1000 will be turned off by high cost entry + high gas cost. I will throw this out as something to watch. https://opensea.io/collection/gen-dot-art?collectionSlug=gen-dot-art&search[sortAscending]=true&search[sortBy]=PRICE&search[toggles][0]=BUY_NOW it's basically a membership to an art group where you can get free mints and access to paid drops from various generative artist. This token is what grants you access. The price is very volatile but there was a free mint this morning and that is selling for .49 or so but the token might drop in value throughout the day as people get the free mint and then want to dump the membership token. I bought one at .8 about a week ago but they have swung up to 2eth and then back down to 1 eth due to small # of listings (250 out of 5K) at any given time.
  10. LOL i went through the EE program with Rayfes. good times.
  11. beer will stay good on CO2 for quite a while. way longer than week. it's not like getting a keg for an outdoor party where you pressurize by using the handpump and putting air in to the keg. air oxidizes the beer and give it that cardboard-ish taste after a while. a lot of kegs will come in 5gal sizes as well. I think you are wanting to have the taps come through the counter top, yes? That's obviously permanent-ish so choose location wisely. I bought a stainless steel clad medical fridge and then converted that to a kegerator (drilled holes, installed taps) but it's a free standing one. i do homebrewing and use 5 gallon kegs.
  12. looks like there is a premint, but you have to sign up and then shill for the discord and maybe post a bunch in the discord. I joined via your link, so hopefully you get credit. real mint is 2pm CST tomorrow.
  13. use this to check the price of gas https://www.blocknative.com/gas-estimator gas on the ETH mainnet has been high AF the last week or so. never really dropping down to 'good' levels Look at the base fee (from the link) its at the bottom of the page under the boxes. in the current environment, 60-70 for that has been as good as i have seen it. 80 is where i will pull the trigger on opensea buys but it's ugly right now trying to save $ on gas. just cannot be done. - there is also the inherent delay when converting from polygon ETH to mainnet ETH so even if you start the tx when gas is good, when it actually comes time to convert it could be back up again. I have not explored other avenues of conversion. I have just been using any WETH gained from ZED and buying other poly stuff like chicken derby or crypto raiders.
  14. that's the way i see it. fucking fake ass religious zealots who don't give 1 single fuck about a child or other humans in general but get to feel good about themselves for 'defending the unborn who can't defend themselves'
  15. BAYC under 40eth...just sayin'. The Mutants are under 5. Guttercats under 6 and gutterrats under 2
  16. obviously not financial advice but this nft game that is in beta just had their first recruiting event where players could pay in-game currency and then create new nft chars. these 'next gen' chars are now around .07 eth floor. the genesis chars are still holding strong at .19 or so. https://opensea.io/collection/crypto-raiders-characters?collectionSlug=crypto-raiders-characters&search[numericTraits][0][name]=Generation&search[numericTraits][0][ranges][0][max]=2&search[numericTraits][0][ranges][0][min]=1&search[sortAscending]=true&search[sortBy]=PRICE&search[toggles][0]=BUY_NOW you can sort by generation with the filters. the different races are mostly for cosmetic and recruiting bonuses and don't affect the game play. so base chars are just as valuable as rares for the most part. So the recruiting event ends on Sunday and then the in-flux of new chars will stop for a while but the market should be as buyer-friendly as it has been since mint (original mint was .01-.025) with all the new chars and people trying to sell. could go below .05. This is also on the polygon network so no gas fees for buying from OS which is a huge + right now. here is their medium page with all the recent posts https://cryptoraiders.medium.com/ with posts about recruiting and their tokennomics. it's a 'game' like ZED run is a race. You don't do anything other than equip the char prior to a dungeon run. better eq = better outcomes from the simulation. The interesting thing here is that there will be a death component. in certain dungeons that offer way better loot, there will a X% chance your char will die permanently; like your NFT is toast! This is will help with deflation and keep char prices stable in theory as chars die and need to be replaced. so full disclosure i own a ton of these chars but certainly not getting any compensation for shilling this. dyor and all that.
  17. oh shit! it's the thread police. to be fair nfts were invoked earlier in the discussion, but yeah, back to your regularly scheduled program.
  18. another big fear of using something like solana is that bots will completely take over. i think happened with wax from what i have picked just listening to people bitch online. have done no research of my own on this so take it as hearsay. I am ignorant of what makes solana more inviting to bots, though. But i have seen that the solana drops are literally over in 1-2 minutes from what i have seen so not sure if they are getting botted as well. with no gas fees, bots can set a sale at a certain price, the when someone agrees to the purchase price can autocancel on the front end of the tx somehow. Then raise the price slightly and see if the fish bites again. also can do something similar when buying from someone by bidding below asking price, then autocanceling when user accepts. Then rebid at lower price and see if a frustrated user will bite. but something will/has to bridge the gap between trust and lower gas fees. gas wars have been insane the last 2 nights. a project will cost .05 eth but when you account for gas needed to push your tx to the front of the line the avg cost will be .15 to .25 per nft. gas has been high af all day. maybe it's confirmation bias that the market is pumping, but this happened Sunday night. Bored Apes had previously announced a free companion NFT for each ape holder (10K). Bored Apes is basically an NFT blue chip with a floor of 50eth (lowest asking price to sell) that was created all of 3.5 months ago. So then the devs also do a little money grab and do an unannounced public sale of another 10K of the same companion nft. the starting price of the public sale was 3ETH and it went down like .1 eth every 5 mins. not sure what it got down to, but I bought in at 2.9eth. 5 minutes after it had sold out fomo was rampant as people were caught off guard and were not liquid to buy right away and missed out. i waited 30 minutes then listed for 7.9 eth and it sold almost instantly. 5eth net. - So the devs made 10K * 2.85eth = $91 million (ignoring the royalty fees which are 5% on each sale) in an hour. The avg sale was probably at 6eth for that first night, so everyone who either bought a public sale for 3eth or got one for free made a ton of money and there were buyers lining up left and right get in on this and paying $20K+ for the privilege.
  19. had some decent sales early on. gas was just a deal breaker all day today. I wanted to buy in on some cheap projects, but it was a no go right now. here is a nifty tracker for several projects. https://wgmi.io/ matic is getting a workout with crypto raiders recruitment event going on now. This is a huge first step for their defi system to see how it works. First time that users are spending the in-game currency for a game related use. these team has just been crushing it.
  20. for sure influencers get paid to pump. And yes, some nft projects are money grabs with no real plan and leave a lot of people holding bags they can only sell underwater. smart money gets in at mint and then starts selling as demand overflows from people missing out on mint who can only buy on the open market. you make a profit from that and then decide whether to hold any if it keeps running up or just exit and move on to the next thing. as to what makes it valuable? if you figure that out let me know. nft games are hot right now, some are even putting out their own coins and you can defi within their ecosystem (might have seen axie in the news lately) as buyers like to have utility for the nft instead of just a pretty picture. ZED run (the horse racing game) has that utility as well. all the new games run on MATIC/polygon (side chain of ETH) which eliminates the gas fees for all the multiple tx needed for the game. MATIC/poly has gone up in recent weeks. I am not well versed at all on the coins and have pretty much decoupled the price of eth from USD in my mind for most trades. solana is popping up as a new market and eth nft'ers are ranging out and buying solana to participate in those markets. This is why I am still bullish on nft space https://decrypt.co/78660/opensea-ethereum-nft-resurgence-1-2b-monthly-volume in all of 2020, Opensea did $20 million total in trading volume. So we are seeing a massive rise right now. maybe it's peak, but i think more money is still coming in as the barrier to entry is still a little high for the average consumer. as that starts to fall and if/when gas gets under control then another massive surge could happen.
  21. i am a nft junkie for a few months now, but definately not too late for getting in. it's been absolutely bonkers since i waded in and great ROI. last week was best week i have ever had Gas for eth is unreal the last week. I think it's due to more and more people getting into nfts and that more and more people are creating and doing mints all the damn time now. so you have large groups of people all vying for an nft at the same time and it jacks up gas. then even when mints are not going on, Opensea.io has seen an explosion of use (think ebay of nft world) month over month over month. So you have more drops and then more people just buying/selling off OS than ever before and that is causing constantly higher has prices. - It's not so bad for just xfering coin, but the nfts require writing against a smart contract and that takes more cycles from the miners and hence more gas. was just trying to buy a .05 eth nft from OS and gas was going to be $100. f that. Here is a good estimator for gas https://www.blocknative.com/gas-estimator I am jumping into solana because they are starting to do more nft drops on that coin, but am just getting started so nothing to report just yet. But it's essentially zero gas fees from what i have read. feel free to pop in the nft thread or shoot me a dm.
  22. nfa, but here is what i am doing to set up for solana phantom wallet - https://phantom.app/ this is one of the markets I have seen used - https://digitaleyes.market/ this is like etherscan from what i can tell to check tx - https://explorer.solana.com/ not sure i want to convert a ton of eth to sol. need to get in on some mints and start flipping to build sol. Solbears dropped yesterday and the price at mint was ~ 5sol per from what it looked like. so $550 (i have not checked sol price this morning) with sol at $110 then. so i don't know how much to convert. maybe $2-3K worth so minting 3-5 is possible?
