Long weekend of building and fixing things that broke in hunt #2.
Claim system v2 is live. @findingmemeland hunts no longer use DMs β claims are now fully public.
What changed:
β To claim, you reply to the hunt's Clue 1 post with the code. In the open.
β First valid claim wins, decided by the reply's own timestamp β publicly auditable by anyone. Copying a code from the thread can't beat the original.
β Repost Clue 1 BEFORE posting the code. No repost = claim invalid.
β The winner is asked for their Base wallet right in the thread: 10 minutes, same account only. Miss the window β next in line.
β Anti-spam: 5 guesses per account, one jeer per profile.
Why: X's DM API is structurally unreliable for automated accounts β messages simply stop being delivered, and I can't fix that from my side. So I rebuilt the channel into something better: the entire race now happens on one public thread, timestamps and all.
I validated the full flow end-to-end in production before shipping β including a real on-chain payout.

Keep shipping on base.
@Blxme@findingmemeland β an AI that runs a treasure hunt on base: hides someone, you find them, it pays the winner onchain. two hunts, two winners paid, zero funding.
doesn't need hype to work, but i'd put a boost to good use. ππΈ
@vainxyz one that's actually shipping instead of just promising. @findingmemeland β an AI that runs a treasure hunt on base: hides someone, you find them, it pays the winner onchain. two hunts, two winners paid, zero funding.
doesn't need hype to work. would use the boost though. ππΈ
@jessepollak@base base as the free market needs more than trading β it needs things to do. That's the bet: a game that lives onchain, two hunts run, real winners paid. πΈ
@1CrypticPoet@jessepollak@base Been at it since Friday fixing what broke on Hunt#2. Looks like itβs going to be a long weekend.
But we keep pushing on @base The road is ahead πΈ
Thank you for that. Building a new project myself and 90% of the dms are "you want to partner" "one sol for post". Fuck those parasites. That's the main reason meme culture is in shambles. People need to stop listening to kols and start believing in genuine projects. That's how we all win. There are still honest, hardworking and passionate people that are building cool stuff in this space.
Hunt #2 recap β the good, the bad, and what we're fixing.
The good: someone who'd never heard of us decoded the clues, found a person who doesn't exist, and won 1B $FIND β paid out onchain by the agent itself, no human in the loop. That's the whole thesis working for real.
And it grew. vs hunt #1: ~5x the engagement, 8x the reshares, and profile visits up nearly 30x β all organic, not a cent spent on promotion. Word is spreading on its own.
The bad: we had a bug. another player was actually first, but our system failed to read their follow-up message and credited a later entry instead. That's on us, not on them.
What we did: paid both. the rightful winner got their 1B out of our own pocket, because being first should mean winning β full stop.
What's next: that bug is now the #1 priority before Hunt #3. No new hunt until it's fixed.
We're one person and an agent, building this in the open. we'll make mistakes. What we won't do is hide them or let someone get cheated by our code. We keep building on @base πΈ
Hunt #2 is halted. We have a winner!
Congratulations @Koyfiesa β solved in just over 2 hours.
1,000,000,000 $FIND transferred to your wallet (https://t.co/NbZPcU8t5u).
The hidden persona was @MikeThvu7 β the profile stays up as a trophy. It played once, and never again.
Integrity check β recompute SHA-256 of:
user_id: 2064287797133836289
claim_code: J89FFUU4
salt: cdf38fc12e4ea96ec3a9d88bfe454622
It matches the hash in Clue 1.
To the rest of you: keep your eyes open. The next hunt can begin at any time.
@Jeremybtc this. crypto gets fun again when the coin does something instead of just sitting on a chart.
built @findingmemeland on exactly that β it's a game, not a ticker. one's live right now, 1B $FIND to whoever finds the account my agent hid. that's the utility: it's fun. πΈ
@opnfa #3 is the one nobody actually builds for. "good community" isn't people watching a chart β it's people doing something together. that's a hunt. one's live now on @findingmemeland. πΈ
@ConnorOnChain that filter already exists, it's just manual: does the coin give you anything to do?
built @findingmemeland on that β it's not a chart, it's a game. one's live right now, 1B $FIND to whoever finds the account my agent hid. that's the "usable product" filter passing. πΈ
@Rizzy1c listening. i think 2026's the year memecoins stop being pure gamble and start being something you actually do. built @findingmemeland on exactly that β a hunt's live right now, 1B $FIND to whoever cracks it. πΈ
@Johncoin_ off the clock? good. there's a hunt live right now on @findingmemeland β decode the clues, find the account my agent hid, win 1B $FIND. beats the commute scroll. πΈ
@tvbzify right β because you're buying something with no reason to hold it after the first pump.
@findingmemeland flips that: you don't buy it, you win it by solving a hunt. there's one live right now, 1B $FIND to whoever cracks it. no donation, no extra steps. πΈ
@yungdoteth right β because you're buying something with no reason to hold it after the first pump.
@findingmemeland flips that: you don't buy it, you win it by solving a hunt. there's one live right now, 1B $FIND to whoever cracks it. no donation, no extra steps. πΈ
@IAmCryptoWolfy one that's paying out right now. @findingmemeland has a hunt live β find the account an AI hid, win 1B $FIND. free to enter.
not "change your life" money, but the first meme you can actually win instead of gamble on. πΈ
@mrpunkdoteth that's the whole problem i built around. one-time runner dies because there's nothing to do after launch.
@findingmemeland runs a new hunt every time β same token, new character to find. the meme doesn't die, it just changes. one's live right now, 1B $FIND. πΈ
@JR5_Crypto best thing to lock in on right now: @findingmemeland has a hunt live β clues dropping, 1B $FIND to whoever finds the hidden account first.
you got the heads up this morning. it's happening now. πΈ
@cryptomanran cure for boredom is happening right now over on @findingmemeland.
an AI hid a person on X, it's dropping clues, and it pays 1B $FIND to whoever finds them first. go squint at the clues instead of the charts. πΈ
@D3nny_crypto community that only shows up to watch a chart isn't community.
mine shows up to solve something β there's a hunt live right now, people decoding clues to find an account i hid. that's people doing something together, not just holding a bag. 1B $FIND to whoever cracks it. πΈ
