Involved in crypto since 2012, involved in NFTs since 2017. Still no good at either.

@poopie @packrush @PredictBits Good luck!

[poopie @poopie]

6 months ago we started building @packrush and today we’re live.

I’ve been building products in crypto for over a decade. I’ve felt and experienced massive success and also had countless things blow up in my face.

In 2013, I launched @PredictBits. A prediction market for Bitcoin. One of the first. Just as it went into beta, Mt. Gox got hacked and crypto imploded. As if that wasn’t bad enough, my site got hacked too. Customer deposits gone, Twitter gone, all of my BTC gone.

Total devastation. I had to walk away.

I returned to Crypto in 2017 and eventually joined @DapperLabs to work on @CryptoKitties. I was the Product lead. In case you weren’t there - CK created a wave of adoption and onboarded 100k+ normies without the UX we have today. It IS the first NFT and I’ll die on that hill.

By day I was working on making breeding & collecting CK more exciting. By night I was racing cats/horses/pigs on-chain and launching NFT/DeFi experiments. It wasn’t long before our team caused an even bigger wave with @NBATopShot. I found myself ripping packs and aiding the team as a product manager for bugs & customer experience. Everything was on fire but I loved every minute of it.

One of my regrets from this cycle was not having an answer for the P2E waves my good friend @Jihoz_Axie caused and not going hard on early signs of crypto’s iGaming product-market fit.

In 2021 I left Dapper to build Doodles with @burnttoast, @evankeast and we quickly became a big name in NFTs. When top teams jump on a wave, success can quickly follow, but good luck if you’re a tourist.

My biggest learning: ride the waves, keep convictions. I’ve watched teams launch into perfect narratives and fail because they weren’t truly in love with the trenches. Talent matters, but obsession is the edge. Put those together and you 10x the result.

This note is for the founder hesitant to ride a wave, and for the one pivoting to every new meta. I’d build PackRush in any market. The same way I built that prediction market before the headlines. The difference now is a team I trust.

@packrush is here. A culmination of my product experience and obsessions with a world class team in: @ianPun_ my goat CTO and fellow Dapper alum, @soldthebottom COO, @hedgedhog7 CSO

Packs are booming. Prediction markets are booming. iGaming is booming.

It’s time to ride another wave.

@CryptoKitties Release the clock

NFTs are broken - a🧵

One of my strongest convictions that has yet to materialize for NFT art is that collectors will realize smart contract mechanisms are what make them unique. It’s what separates NFTs as a class from other art forms, even including “just” digital art.

Status for 🐦‍⬛🥚 project:

Art ✅
Smart contract ✅
Website ✅
Communications ❌

Communicating info solely through Twitter is hard. Maybe 5% of your target audience is reached with a given tweet. Turn notis on if you are interested. All future tweets until project launch will be relevant

Because of this communications failure on my part, I have decided to push one more day so I can get the launch time spread to the intended audience.

The project will launch at 11:11am central time on April 25th. I believe that is 4:11pm UTC (someone correct me if I’m wrong)

Hunt fee is 0.011e, max of 1111 hunters. One can not simply buy an egg from the contract

@carlini8 @frankdegods $300k, why?

@KittyPunchXYZ Hi, guys. love the site. But since the update I am no longer to connect my Flow wallet on my android. I'm happy to chat via dms if you need more info for bug reporting. Thanks.

[nftnoob.pcc.eth @NftNoob]

@alxocity @CryptoKitties I never actually minted a #1 fancy or a diamond in CK, so this is new ground for me.

[nftnoob.pcc.eth @NftNoob]

@natealex Ink?

[natealex @natealex]

I’m bored

Tired of speculating on which insider coin will pump the most

So I decided to start making a simple mass multiplayer crypto game. There is no NFT associated. It would function more as an event/experience, with qualifier rounds leading into the championship round

Let me know if you’d be interested in participating

I envision the championship round being 50-100 transactions per player, so eth mainnet is not an option

What chain would you like to see it on?

Ideally EVM compatible. Currently thinking Base, Flow, or Blast

Would appreciate if you shared 🫡

[nftnoob.pcc.eth @NftNoob]

@natealex @_deafbeef me please, not sure if it's via me or you

[nftnoob.pcc.eth @NftNoob]

@DeeZe @farokh @nateguppy @cooterdoodle @ColeThereum Thanks for the heads up!

CryptoKitties founder floor (44.92) higher than CryptoPunks floor (40.5) for the first time in years 🙀

@alamo_pcc @natealex What would you do if you ever saw him in private 👀

[nftnoob.pcc.eth @NftNoob]

@cousingregnft @mooncats_base @base At this point i'm not sure they actually know how to launch it. Airdrop isn't done yet, and if it launches before that then it feels pretty scammy.
