  1. also, gas fees are pretty low right now. it was like $10 to move some ETH into the ZED WETH wallet.
  2. USC was favored by a touchdown over Vince and crew. relax
  3. wish i was browsing when this drunk person sold off their horses in the last 24 hours. unraced Z3 for 1.2 ETH ($3200; drop price $13,600) https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/3841 unraced Z3 for 1.6 ETH https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/3840 it's racing now and drawing all single digit odds unraced Z2 for 3.2 ETH ($8600; drop price $19,500) listed for 7.75 ETH now https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/3839 unraced Z2 for 2.96 ETH listed now for 6.1 ETH https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/3838
  4. food for thought https://zombie.racing/the-power-of-the-z1-naka-why-we-should-value-the-boys/ tldr - dude thinks that Nakamoto covers (stud fees) could end up being very lucrative based on the fact that Genesis sire can keep an Exclusive or Elite at the same level (but the filly can't). With an ever expanding base of Exclusive/Elite fillies and a finite number of Genesis studs the supply and demand ratio keeps getting more and more out of whack. anyway, you can monkey around with the stud fees but using some fairly conservative numbers it might not take long to recover your costs on buying a Nak for those outrageous prices. I don't know what the ZED rake is (10%?) on stud fees. ROI even col is # of months to break even on purchase. you could make back that fee in 7-9 months of breeding. Maybe that is why people were willing to pay $20-40K for these things. Or ZED could get raided by a 3-7 letter acronym government agency and and it all goes tits up. These guys that were in from day 1 did not pay hardly anything for their Naks (i am guessing) so it is all house money to them. so with that said, can you buy more ETH by using a kidney as collateral? asking for a friend.
  5. yep, had trouble getting sleep after that game last night. still amped. seeing Luka just say IDGAF who you put on me I am getting mine was bad ass.
  6. the US is so far out in front on the vaccines compared to the rest of the world. not going to get into a should we have re-opened or not, but the vaxs work and are slaying the chances of any nth waves happening no matter our behavior. they are making gov's from all states look good no matter their stance and finally forcing the CDC to relax their stances. yay us. Hearing same thing from Indian colleagues i work with. my director has lost something like a dozen extended family members (all old-ish) that live in India.
  7. lol, if you paid 3.2 for that then we need to have an intervention
  8. i've taken to the notion to just keep any genesis horse no matter how crappy. who knows what could be sired by that horse. I listed my non-winner Z7 Finney Colt for about 10 minutes then changed my mind. I think genesis horses are going to spike right after the drop if we have another wave of people pissed that they could not get in on it. if you look at the super long term view either - lol, ZED run has like 5 users and Z1 Nakamotos are $10 for a dozen. - betting on digital horses catches on, all the genesis horses are dropped and there is still a demand. There is still going to be a buzz for genesis horses, even crappy Buterins. does that buzz mean crappy Z10s are going for 2 ETH or just maintaining their value? who knows NFTs seem pretty fucking stupid to me, but then i was never a sports card collector or could give fuckall about memorabilia and stuff like that. I look at the other collections in some of these people's wallets and and am WFT is this shit? But add in the gaming/gambling aspect and the ability to make your own NFTs that could or could not be valuable as a racer or a breeder or to just resell and now sir, you have my attention. - Also as they add attributes to the horses that you can see, you don't want to have sold off an idiot savant horse that has a stupid high attribute in say speed, but just sucked at all the other ones. maybe that would be worth something as breeding stock.
  9. lol. just missed this. genesis sold for 3 cents https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/26593
  10. some rando on twitter prediction on horse prices leading up to and after the drop and breeding. i tend to agree with these general trends although i think the post breeding curves may just be flat. It all depends on how many new players join up and catch the FOMO fever.
  11. the metal pipe is a dead give away. it's Jeff Gillooly
  12. would freezing your credit prevent someone filing for unemployment? I have one of mine frozen, but someone still filed unemployment for me in Virginia. I got mailed a pre-paid credit card from State of Virginia and a bunch of letters, one of which stated I would get nothing and like it from them, so I am curious about what's on the credit card. but not curious enough to have to punch in my SS# on the telephone number on the back of the card to check the balance (same with website).
  13. no, not bidding on Rainbow Doll. .4 ETH ($1000) is likely what it is going to take; too much imo for a Z9 that is unproven. really just looking to buy 'not glue' Buterins Z8/9 ~ $600 range (.2-.25 ETH). May just wait and try my luck during the next drop which is supposed to happen June 5th/6th or so to snag a Finney filly. Not sure how they determine the drop prices. I can't see them doubling from last time though so i think they will still be 'reasonable' and should help drive down the existing unraced genesis market pricing to approach TERA drop prices. Yeah, i think good horses can come from trash (or not elite) parents. Here is Gun for Hire's (& sister) parents. All of them are inverted V-shaped Trash or not, I can guarantee that King Razor can command whatever stud fee he wants.
  14. Z1 drop price was ~$36K so not that crazy i guess. not sure what an avg Z1 g-race odds are, but pulling a 3 means it has pretty good potential. There are a lot of Z1 that run 15+ odds in the g-race. sub par raced Z2 Nakamoto are going as low as 5 ETH ($12-13K) which the drop price was ~$19K. you just have to be on at the right place right time to snag stuff like this: https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/8082 this sold for .5 ETH ($1300) yesterday. drop price was $1600 and the 2 paid races were higher dollar races so it's odds in the cheapest races would be a lot better. There are lots of just NFT traders that scour the lists and snatch up any bargains then immediately jack the price and list again. going to look for a genesis Finney filly before breeding starts, but not holding my breath.
  15. it helps if you think of ETH like casino chips with little intrinsic value. i have been following the female sales pretty closely and anything with an established profile is going for a lot. you got a great deal on Lemon. unraced Buterin Genesis are still going for a crazy good premium right now.
  16. i am going to look to pick up a Z2-Z4 Legendary Nak filly and colt after breeding starts. Should be a ton of them available. Then you can start adding some of that expensive blood to a stable. If you want to spend for another U-shaped filly, here is one for 2ETH https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/12197 will do well if stays in class IV, but profile breaks down in class III. - my oz&lbs horse has a strong win/place/show profile but sucks at finishing 10+. just moved up to class I - no idea if that would merit anyone paying for a stud fee, but if I could breed it with a Nak horse that could compete in class I, then having a L-shaped profile would great.
  17. i just picked up a buterin genesis z9 nag to breed with. only a few races with 15 odds but bought for ~$600. I don't know if the market for fillies is going to go up as we get closer to breeding, but i imagine it will. Everything else i had seen in that price range was all 45+ odd crap. Also eyeing this one: https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/26642 https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/26642 6 races, sub 10 odds in g-race and sub 15 odds in class III in the 5 races so far. asking .45 ETH ($1200) but probably cannot get at around .3 as there is already a bid at .35 right now.
  18. i have no idea how breeding will go. it looks like you can set your own price for a stud fee. theoretically, if you are fast clicking and have the ETH, you could mate with any stallion placed in the stud farm. I see 2 things happening. - If a stable want to keep the bloodline in-house: the top Nakamoto and primo racers are going to set insanely high stud fees, then breed in house (and pay themselves back the ETH). There may be a way to lower the rake amount from ZED by dropping the stud fee just for the time to breed it yourself then raising it again. - Everyone else will throw out their stallions at rando prices and we will have to wade through the data just like when buying/browsing for horses. If you have a stallion that's iffy, it might be better to go low at first to at least get paid right off the bat with one of the 3 stud fees available.
  19. is that on the label? and is that Devil worship masturbation or just Devil worship; masturbation. asking for a friend.
  20. yeah, i still have not found a decent filly at the right price. debating on whether to roll the dice on an unraced Buterin or pay a premium for something known and not a donkey. Although i think donkeys can breed winners, with just 1 per month, it's a lot longer ROI to try and find one.
  21. (V/R) (Q/V) what you did there
  22. saw on twitter that McD's was offering new employees an iphone if they hired on and stayed 6 months Other industries adapt to the labor market. Bite the bullet and pay people what it takes right now. Fuck, it's not like you can't fire them later and hire cheaper replacements in 3-6 months. Get some good pub out of it like the places cited above. I used to work for a electronics mfg company where we were always trying to retain and hire capable operators that did a lot of the processes that we could not automate. every 6 months some other company would land a big project and need to staff up and offer higher wages to do so. We would lose people and even have to offer more to keep our best. The big issue to the bottom line comes from when we would have to universally raise the wage floor for everyone. As the cost of hiring new operators rises, the disparity between them and the most senior operators grew. right before a mass exodus, mgmt would raise the floor to keep the majority from leaving. tldr, i think these places are more worried about raising the wages of existing employees than just offering $15/hour to attract new ones.
  23. intertial dampeners. made up tech so shit like this does not happen when they are changing speeds
