@JTinvestsInYou One of the most frustrating experiences of doing @CupStakes was not finding any grip to amplify our presence. We did everything possible but still barely got into the mainstream Algorand consciousness.

We burnt the midnight oil every day for 2.5 months non-stop to ...

If you haven't redeemed your winning 🇦🇷 or runner-up 🇫🇷 CupStakes yet, you have just over 3 days to do so.

On the 23rd of February (after round 27181556) we will donate any remaining balance on the redeem contract to @gekofam_friends, per our gov vote.

@AlgoMike2030 @mochanerd Correct, the odds were manually updated after each elimination

[D13 @d13_co]

We wouldn't be exaggerating to say that without @nullun we couldn't have pulled off @cupstakes. He was the second trust partner after @fredestante and provided immeasurable help - going well above & beyond.

So raise a virtual glass to this machine man with me 🍺

Thanks @nullun

@Alwaysl63264798 @hoskytoken @Haskell_plus @govendible @PlanetWatchsas @Dequency_io @yieldling @insurenimble Like on chain VRF with a native opcode to verify, so you aren't trusting some random developer but the core network that the VRF seed is correct

We are more grateful than these fine folks know for their launch timeline

Their MainNet VRF Oracle on MainNet launched Nov 17

@CupStakes relied on VRF exclusively for draws; it launched Nov 19 😅

On launch week we realized that our initial VRF provider plans fell through

Hi #algofam ☀️

We are happy to announce that the one and only @d13_co has partnered with the EXA Team to bring new Smart Contract Features to @EXA_Market 💜

NFTs on @Algorand are about to get supercharged 🔋 sooner than you think this year ��

[CupStakes ⚽ VRF SweepstȺkes Lottery @CupStakes]

Our next project? Also VRF 🎲 🙌

https://t.co/PnFGzVaPXY

[TheBillBored @TheBillBored]

[INFO] We aim to become an #AlgorandNFTs spotlight competition & meta-collection.

Artists and collections are invited to submit new artwork to the competition.

Winning art will get minted on Asset ID 1 Billion and featured as an ad on Algorand websites.

How does it work? 🧵

[CupStakes ⚽ VRF SweepstȺkes Lottery @CupStakes]

Curious about our next project? (Sorry, it won't be Match Cupness)

[D13 @d13_co]

Have we officially claimed this project?

No?

Well... 👋 This is ours.

Yes, we really did spend $560 in $ALGO fees for 2.95m txns for these assets (and the experience, naturally.)

Zero regrets.

ℹ️ @Algofoundation Governance rewards payout just started!

⌚ Last time they took 8 minutes (~500/block)

🏎️ Fun fact: If they took a page out of @TheBillBored playbook they could distribute them in 2 blocks/7.4 seconds without maxing out. Wen Flex?

@directory_algo @FarzanAkhtar1 @d13_co Nothing concrete planned yet!

How @CupStakes REALLY got started, a short story:

It was a September evening, I checked my email before I went to bed and I was surprised to see a mail from @d13_co.

We'd worked together in the past, but I wasn't expecting this...

[Farzan Akhtar @FarzanAkhtar1]

Now that the world cup is over, who wants to know how @CupStakes started?👀
(First VRF-enabled consumer dApp btw)

There's a couple early emails and stuff I can share. #algofam
