  1. lulz. i posted about finding momentum earlier. had this happen last night on just random crap that looks about as crappy as an etherrock lol. see a post in the discord channel about how these are starting move a little https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/9690549573852672740817450661288244415170500306446936049782156441528257478657 mint from opensea was .125 eth (~$400) and you can look at the sales per minute and see that yeah, people are snapping these up but still some to buy at the mint price. There are only 125 total in the collection so if the floor gets bought up and more people show up, then it will rise quickly. bought 1 and then waited for the floor to get bought out completely. Then watched the listings/sales for a bit and these were getting insta-bought for .5 with a few going higher. I listed for .79 (~$2500) and 5-10 mins later it sold. smooth $2K profit for 30 mins of screen time. so again, it had nothing to do with roadmap, or artist/dev of the project. just catching momentum.
  2. hits close to home. don't even remember how it worked, but back many years ago, you could buy an Amex giftcard (think they were called Vanilla cards?) from like CVS using an Amex CC that gave out 5x points for buying stuff at CVS. Then you could transfer that amount into another amex account that acted like a quasi bank acount (Bluebird maybe?). You could then write checks from account to pay for stuff like rent/mortgage and essentially churn out a shitton of travel points. I always felt shady as shit going in to multiple CVSs and buying all the gift cards of this certain type out. they closed that loop hole not too long after, but it was sweet while it lasted.
  3. It's kinda more on how to find momentum. you watch stuff and if you see suddenly a stalled project take off and start to sell out, there is opportunity to get in and then ride other's fomo for a quick flip. maybe get a chance to find a rare. or even momentum on established projects can turn big profits, but the cost of entry is prohibitive for my budget. But yeah, the traditional find a project, join the discord then on drop day jam gas to mint 10-20 units, sort out rarity quickly and then flip to people who missed the drop is more and more rare now. most of my good flips now are catching stuff that is rising and try to snipe the floor no mater if the project is sound or not. but that takes having ears in a ton of discords and being johnny-on-the-spot with work/family not c-blocking your degen opportunity lol. The biggest regret is not getting into the ArtBlocks curated sooner. I did not even get into nfts until mid May and had no idea about AB until maybe July, but even a month or 2 sooner would have been nice just seeing all of those projects soar right now. on the gaming stuff. i have seen some rumbling about the price of SLP (axies utility coin) that keeps dipping making it harder for you or your scholars to earn. i don't know much about axie but like everything else, you need new players coming in to buy the new axies that are bred and bring their new money in the ecosystem. All games need new players to survive and thrive. The crypto raiders will have a built in deflationary tool with perm char death as a possible outcome of raiding a dungeon. chars will die, so even existing players will need to keep playing. I honestly don't know how fun the game will be. It's a 'turn zero' dungeon sim where your only action will be to equip your char in armor/weapons/whatever to kill the underlings and the boss in the there. Then you pull the slot machine lever and see what loot (or death) awaits. very similar to a ZED run race without the death part. I am a rpg nerd, so it appeals to me, but they are killing it with delivering on what they say they are going to do. Their whole coin/utility could go up in smoke in a heartbeat, but it has been stable since launch 2 weeks ago and is steadily providing $100 a day in passive income before the game has even really launched. already made back what i put in of my own money, so it's free roll at this point. They hired an outside guy to set it up and it seems to be working well. the first case for spending the coin for in-game stuff will come in 2-3 weeks and that will be a good test case. similar to axie, you have to pay the utility coin to breed (or 'recruit' in CR) so this should get real movement into the ecosystem. sorry, there is no tldr. it's all just cool starry bra.
  4. i am in the same boat. have not researched it a lot, but saw where someone was able use a VPN and then log in like they were in a different country to recover the account. I don't think i have much in mine. very low $ amount of a few shitcoins from 2 years ago, but need to gain control of it again i guess.
  5. yeah, i came into NFT space to play ZED a week or 2 after BAYC launched. I think they were .5 ETH at the time and my noob ass thought that was too much for jpeg. lol I got into the GutterCat which was a copy cat type deal, but that took off and is now pretty popular. was able to buy in for < .1 and sell everything associated for ~3eth. that has funded most of my other escapades into all the other nft flipping. Just started dipping my toe into an NFT based game that has it's own economy, so you can do some defi things to earn passive $ by owning and staking their in-game tokens. The # of people creating and using an OpenSea account is going berserk right now. you can say it's all a ponzi scheme, but there is tons of new money coming in every day to keep it going. I know this is mainly TS focused but if anyone else is into a broader spectrum for other NTF (pfp, art, p2e games etc...) I am down for discussion. There are sooo many projects going on it's impossible to keep track of.
  6. mine is just in jr high, but it's either shirtless or a hoodie around the house. but in school it was a hoodie every day. maybe the AC is cold af ?
  7. the only one I sell outside my stable is for a Z3 Szabo Genesis. the price I was getting was OK at first, around .2 eth per, but everyone is undercutting and floor is now .1 eth so I have been breeding in-house for the minimum. someone always manages to steal 1 of the cheap covers though before i can get my 3rd mare to breed. so have ended up with 2 foals and one cheap cover the last 2 times. - that horse is unraced, so there is no positive or negative win % to influence the price. I find that unraced is way better than having a bad win % i think most people probably do the bare minimum wrt to searching for horses to breed with. Finneys and Buterins are basically all at the floor for stud fees so the inventory there is overwhelming and people don't want to scroll through 100s of listings. They will do a little bit of searching, maybe check out the odds of a few horses then pull the trigger. - To get any value for a decent racer, you will have to advertise on twitter and on the ZED forum. just keep spamming your horse on ZED forum in the breeding section and you will probably get a some responses or action on your horse. I tend to sell all my male offspring that don't actually win money racing and then keep the females to spawn a few foals. But females have a massive premium right now, so I have been selling some of those as well.
  8. yeah, if you made a service that would buy a Z1/Z2 then fractionalize it into 20-50 units. give everyone a voting token on when/if to race it, set the stud fee (or max stud fee to pay for a mare), same for selling the foal etc.. then you would have something. Racing a horse is the least profitable aspect of ZED unless you have a top 1% horse. My horses pretty much suck at racing and have not turned a profit as a group ever. But breeding (selling covers and selling foals) has been extremely profitable so far. outside of racing new foals to see their odds, I probably only race my other horses maybe once a week. The first service to cater to this aspect will make bank, but that's a lot of trust to give to a 'company' which would be far from establishing legitimacy. Honestly, if one of the big stables like Doofy or Poseidon were to create a service like this, i would trust it. But just because someone is first to try and monetize it does not mean they won't disappear with the horses and your money after a month.
  9. yeah, looks like English is not their first language. also, if the max dollar amount of the horse if $1000 that's not going to get much of a horse, unless i was reading that wrong. plus nothing mentioned about breeding.
  10. love 'em or hate 'em, but NPR has done a ton of stories on this. interviewing people in Kabul everyday to get their take on the situation with the Taliban taking over.
  11. IN for a Z1 breeding pair lol. This is actually really good for the game. should see more movement on the high price horses now.
  12. every other word typed on Tech's football message board is about the PUF and how since Tech is located in west Texas, they deserve that money by God.
  13. too bad she was not packing heat while on the zoom call and could protect herself.
  14. ffs, let's ignore the vax studies and glom onto dubious horse paste studies that show little promise. you can't make this up. Just tell them that pfizer owns the patent for the horse paste anti-parasite ingredient and they will stop eating it this is the equivalent of clicking on the 'one weird trick to cure ... ' and going in whole hog, but can poison you.
  15. San Saba golden armadillos clocking in at sub 30% vax rate.
  16. ok, that was the story i heard referenced on npr. remembered they were supposed to do a story on Monday about it and was going to post.
  17. also, those 95% eff. number were based on the phase 3 trial which started in July 2020 and ended early Dec iirc. So tons of people were following suggestions and wearing masks, working from home, etc... it makes a big difference in the numbers. it's not like the OFF mosquito repellent commercials where they spray an arm then stick it in a cage full of hungry mosquitos. The trial patients went about their normal life and did not yolo licking doorknobs and seeing how many people the could ride an elevator with each hour. most of the US was masking at this time. Most are now fully back to doing whatever/whenever with no masks, so just from that then effcy would go down. Add in that some data suggest Delta can even make vaxxed people spreaders and here we are.
  18. not looking forward to everyone under the sun start sentences with "SEC level ..." whether talking about recruits or physical attribute of a current player etc... This was done because we were losing ground in recruiting, right? So looking forward to UT bagmen and bagwomen to start making SEC level payola to the recruits. Shit, i just did it
  19. furk. hopefully the backlash will get them to change their stance. going at the end of August
  20. Tusken Raiders, aka sand people, did that. Jawas rode around the big tank/garbage truck
  21. Nice! yeah i think breeding is where it's at for making a little money. Even the crappiest horses are selling for $150 now. Even with ZEDs take, breeding stud fees are decent as well.
  22. are you buying with metamask or through CC? It's been a while since i have bought a horse and Opensea has changed their format a little (CC option is new). I don't think there is gas for buying with metamask and using polygon WETH. Take a screenshot if you can and i can look at it. But for most OS buys, yes gas will vary a lot. Especially if something big like a popular NFT drop or some altcoin is going berserk on the Eth network. Drops are just short time frame spikes, so check back in ~15 mins or so if gas is looking crazy.
  23. this is just a go fund me for Trump ball cradlers with the added bonus of a data breach. adding -coin to the project was like adding .com to everything 20 years ago.
