I'm reviving the dead alpha server I created over three years ago.
There's enough people that give a shit about it and frankly, Alphatown had a lot more impact than I originally thought it would.
Especially for people around the world in places that don't tend to have the same level of economic opportunity as the United States.
Alphatown will be an incubator and pass-through for creative ideas. It'll be a jumping pad for hardworking people with integrity who want to do something cool within the crypto-AI space.
We're small and dainty, but don't underestimate what a group of aligned individuals from around the world can accomplish
AT/OUT
Everything we've accomplished as an Alpha group and more importantly community.
Our beginnings have always been humble and community-first. We've prided ourselves in being ethical and giving back to the community in an effort to build good will within this space. (2/5)
Tired of paying $60/month just for @alphabot ?
I am 🙋
That's why I'm committed to providing free and low-cost solutions for web3 communities

refusal numbers are each releaser's own test, so read them per model, and the speeds are the base models on nvidia cards, these builds keep the same size so they run the same. amd cards run the same files on llama.cpp's vulkan or rocm backends, the bonsai builds run on prismml's llama.cpp
no refusals means no guardrails, you own what you ask. bookmark this, find your card and pull one tonight
Free Mint Data (Sold Under $10).
This minted out approximately 3
hours ago. This is the data as of now.
> Community + CM Listed
> Allocation + Sold (Under $10)
The most important metric is the percentage of wallets sold under $10.
Feel free to tag anyone, idc.
I’ve been here a long time, gave away millions of dollars on spaces.
I don’t care what you, your CM, or community think. I’ve likely given back more to the NFT space than your entire community combined.
There will be MANY more free mints that I will arrange collabs for. This data is valuable to reward holders for future opportunities and to ensure these teams are getting allocations for those who want to support post-mint.
This data is publicly available on the blockchain, and is for research and review purposes only.
Some general thoughts on non fungible token (NFT) design in the big 26:
1. if the collection matters, it should be on ETH mainnet
2. interesting mechanics > ongoing utility
3. emissions / yield make them price recursive, its a double edged sword that only works in short term
4. a lot of cool things still haven't been done with NFTs, there's plenty of room to innovate
5. if you design for collectors, you can still appeal to speculators. but if you design for speculators, its hard to appeal to collectors
6. they work best as the sole onchain asset in an ecosystem, harder for them to make sense when there's a token (unless closely interlinked, but even then - one gets arbed)
7. basically zero "web2 fans" convert to NFT buyers at the price points that web3 natives like to play at, best abandon that hopium
8. for new & upcoming PFP collections, the prominence / visibility of ppl wearing them on the timeline still matters
9. "running an NFT collection" is not a real business, making money from a mint just gives teams some runway to build one
10. "why should i collect this" - the simpler the answer the better
abstract is winding down, but @onchainheroes is just getting started
huge thanks to @AbstractChain + team for helping kickstart our journey. we wouldn't be here without them.
we will share more on the future of the wider ecosystem soon
for now, just chill - your assets are safu.
we have a plan, and it's a good one
Abstract is winding down.
Starting today, all of @IglooInc's focus will go towards taking Pudgy Penguins, Pudgy NFTs, and $PENGU to the next level.
When we acquired Frame in the summer of 2024, the vision was to build the blockchain for consumer crypto. Pudgy Penguins had shown us what it meant to reach the masses, and we believed we could bring that same approach to building a chain.
Abstract achieved a lot in a short period of time; we built the Portal and AGW, onboarded major global brands, amassed over 300 million transactions, and grew a vibrant onchain ecosystem.
The journey became stifled by the lack of a DeFi ecosystem, insufficient liquidity, minimal institutional cross-over, and prohibitively high costs that impeded growth in winning areas.
Unknown to most, Igloo, Inc. had been funding Abstract over the last 18 months.
After losing tens of millions of dollars over two years, building consumer products, assembling an all-star team, onboarding some of the biggest brands in the world, and building a community of millions, we still had not found product-market fit.
In combination with the market's reduced appetite for what we had built and not being able to find a scalable path forward, we could no longer justify taking from the Pudgy Penguins business.
Igloo, Inc. has always been a community-first company. Even after losing 8 figures, we could have launched a token or pursued an ICO.
Ultimately we decided against this. A token only works if there is something driving demand to it, and launching a token that we don’t have conviction in would have been a disservice to our community.
The entire team at Abstract has worked tirelessly with a tremendous amount of passion to make the consumer crypto vision come true. I cannot fault a single one of them for this outcome.
To the Abstract community, I want to thank all of you for sticking by our side on this long journey and for continuing to champion us. You supported us through all of the ups and downs, and I wish the result could have been different.
There will be many that will find satisfaction in seeing this shut down, and that is fine. I take a great amount of pride in having the ambition to venture into the chain business, notoriously one of the most difficult to make work, and the only regret I have is not being able to celebrate a win alongside the Abstract community.
As we wind down Abstract, our full focus shifts to making Pudgy Penguins into the global & cultural phenomenon I know it can become.
Return to Pudgy Penguins.
I've just been buying GPU's on marketplace and stringing them together for more compute.
In some cases paying around $15 - 20 per DDR6 RAM
Should I just sell them all tho and move to a workstation?
