Full Transcription
Hey, what's up?
Oh, I'm sitting in check-in line at the hotel.
I left, went outside for a few minutes, came back in, and there's 500 people on the line now.
That was terrible.
That was some bad timing, man.
Some plane must have been waiting all day.
I've been here since 8 o'clock this morning because that's when my flight came in.
So I left Richmond at 6 a.m., so I left Richmond at 6 a.m., landed here at 8 a.m., and I've been sitting in the casino since 8 a.m. because I can't check in until 4 o'clock.
So, yeah.
Damn, brother, keeping busy?
Damn, brother, keeping busy?
Damn, brother, keeping busy?
Holy jeez, at least you got something to do, you know, traveling around, checking some new stuff out.
Yeah, it's fun.
It's not bad weather outside.
It's like in the 80s and stuff, so, you know, I just, I didn't want to skip the space this week, and I didn't think I was going to be able to run it yesterday.
So, you know, running it today.
Live from Las Vegas.
Here we go.
That's awesome, brother.
I can, it's like I feel the energy.
I can, it's like I hear this faintness in the background that fills the energy.
I can tell where you are.
Yeah, the only thing is Twitter decided to change my space time.
I scheduled it for 4 p.m. PST, and when I got here, it changed it to 1 o'clock, so everybody's like, are you having it at 1 o'clock?
And I'm like, no, I'm having it at 4 o'clock.
So, it's 7 o'clock on East Coast, because it's like actually 8 o'clock for you right now, right?
Yes, sir, right on the button.
Yeah, so, yeah, so anyway, you know, that's what we're doing, you know, having a good time.
I came out here.
My eSports team is participating in a big convention tournament this weekend, and, you know, I'm sponsoring the lodging for the weekend.
So, I came in the day early, so I can check them in when they get here and have everything ready for them.
So, yeah, that's why we're here in Las Vegas.
Oh, yeah, that's awesome, man.
I didn't know you were into that stuff.
That's some entertaining stuff.
Anything that can get you out and see in the world, I think, is a good thing.
So, that's awesome, man.
Yeah, it was a cheap trip, because, like, what I charge for room and board for the week paid for my trip.
So, I'm good.
Yeah, so, it's good.
We're all good.
We're having a good time.
We got eight guys coming in to play in Magic 30 and the main event.
So, it's the last Magic 30 event for the year, which is, you know, they're playing in the pro main event.
So, yeah, that'll be fun.
I don't know if I'll play in the main event.
I think I might just be support staff and enjoy the convention.
Man, you got to get some clips of you gaming out sometime.
I got to see how you are.
What are you playing right now?
Oh, I've been playing roulette today, and Lady Luck has not been with me.
So, but, you know, I'll be playing Magic later this week, and I'll probably play.
I play the sealed events, which is they give you products.
You make a deck, and then you play it.
Oh, yeah, that's awesome, man.
That's awesome.
I've always been a blackjack guy.
I actually had to step away because I was doing too good, and I actually did the smart thing and quit while I was ahead because I was paying my rent and everything when in blackjack.
And I'm like, all right, I'm going to stop now because then at the end of it, I was like, this is all I can think about is how good I'm doing.
I can just pay my bills this way.
So, I stepped away from it.
But, man, that stuff can be addictive.
I would love to go to Vegas sometime, never been, and do some blackjack hands.
That would be awesome.
Yeah, it's fun.
It's fun.
You just can't let it sweep you away.
You kind of have to set a budget, and once you've maxed your budget, you're done.
You have to find other things to do.
You know, otherwise, you will get swept away, and you'll get in the FOMO.
It's kind of like NFT federal.
It'll FOMO you out.
100%, man, and it gets you hooked in.
So, just being smart with it, and the worst thing for me is I was winning so much.
So, it's like, damn, this is a hard reason not to keep going, right?
So, I actually stepped away from it.
But, man, I actually used to actually have a bunch of magic cards, too.
I had a bunch of cards collected up for a while.
They're actually still in my car right now.
But, that's awesome that you do all that stuff, and it's a good break from the chaos of Web3, too.
Give me a minute.
I just finally got to the check-in kiosk, and I'll be right back.
No worries at all, brother.
No worries at all, brother.
Okay, we got this going on, got check-in going on.
Nice, nice.
Okay.
Yeah, just give me a couple minutes and I'll be all done.
No worries, brother.
I'm just sharing the space around, you know, to the community and stuff.
I've seen a couple people posting the group chat there and the time thing you were mentioning.
So I don't know what will happen with that, but hopefully it's all well.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Thank you, thank you.
That's all done now.
So, looks like the room's filling up a little bit.
Can you hear me, Troy?
Yes, bro.
I can, I can.
Just want to make sure I'm not rugging.
So, that would take as long as I thought it would.
I only have to stay in line for about 15 minutes, so, yeah.
No worries, no worries.
Looks like we got, I'm going to go ahead and make you a co-host real quick.
And let you take care of letting people up while I get my bags so I can get to my room.
So, not as much noise.
Here we go.
Sounds good, brother.
I don't know if you sent the request.
Oh, there, I just got it.
I was going to say, I haven't gotten it yet.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, there we go.
I should take care of that.
Perfect.
All good to go.
If everyone could retweet out the room, tag some friends, get some people in here, and we'll get going here in a few minutes.
Okay.
Okay.
Also, if anyone's in here to speak, just request, we'll get you up here.
Yeah, there we go.
I'm at the, interesting today from the, where am I today?
I'm at one of the Caesars, Caesars resorts.
I'm at the Horseshoe.
Hanging out at the Horseshoe today, which is like right in the middle of the strip.
And yeah, right.
A good time here in Vegas.
It sounds like a good time, brother.
I'm jealous.
I'm so jealous.
Yeah, 85 degrees with no humidity is a different thing.
I'm used to 85 degrees with 100% humidity.
This is kind of cool.
I'm enjoying walking around.
I'm going to be honest.
I don't know your American weather.
That, that, that sounds so frigging odd to me, but I go in Celsius.
So what's that in Celsius?
Do you know?
I don't know.
33, 34 degrees.
Probably.
Yeah.
Like I'm, I'm so sensitive to the heat.
I'd be dying.
Like anything like close to 30 degrees.
I'm just melting and people laugh at me because they live in places like 40, 45 degrees.
And they're like, what are you talking about?
That's not even hot.
And I'm like, yeah, but I freeze half the year.
So I'm not used to that heat.
I mean, it's really that bad because there's no humidity and with no humidity, it's really dry.
I mean, it feels like probably a little north of 75 degrees.
I don't know how you guys do it.
You guys talk like it's like just nothing.
Like, oh yeah, it's 35 degrees.
It's not even bad that even without the humidity, I would be dying.
I would be absolutely dying.
It's just because I am so sensitive to the heat.
I'm not a fan of cold either.
Keep in mind.
But, you know, as a Canadian, I got to suffer through it anyway.
Yeah.
I think you muted yourself back up or rugged, one of the two.
You there, Crafty?
You either rugged or I think you're muted.
Okay, bags accomplished.
Now we got to find the elevators.
You would have think I would have done this earlier, but I am not that organized.
I'm a really wing it person too.
You know, just getting into newness, it's the first time in my life I've had to have
an organization or I would not ever be able to do what I do, but I've always been that
kind of guy.
So I'd probably be doing that thing where I'm just hanging out, doing what I can, you
know, whatever's there until I can get to my room.
Yeah, the only part about the trip that's been a little hectic so far is TSA was a nightmare.
They, uh, of all the things they could have flagged my bags for, they flagged me for my
deck boxes, the things that I actually am carrying my cards in, and they've flagged me and made
me wait 35 minutes for them to check my bag for deck boxes.
No electronics, no sharp deck boxes.
That was a little crazy.
Oh, that's brutal, man.
That's brutal.
That's brutal.
I see Norflis is in the room hanging out.
I see that, uh, that Gordo's here hanging out.
So, yeah, it's, it's cool.
If anybody's confused or has confusion about the time, I'm sorry about that.
They switched the time based on my time zone.
So, when I signed up for space at 4 o'clock, I switched time zones.
They rescheduled me for 1 o'clock, which is not what I wanted, and I didn't catch it until
just a little while ago.
So, but we got it straight, got the space open.
We're getting on to the getting on.
Thank you guys for coming in and hanging out.
Now we're just trying to find our way to the elevators so we can get someplace a little
quieter.
Slot machines are noisy.
All I can hear right now is the music going in the background, just very, very faintly.
But you can just feel the energy coming across, like there's a lot going on.
Yeah, it's probably not as much of a problem for you guys as it's for me.
I'm the, uh, because it's noisy.
The elevator's for the 11th floor.
Anyone who wants to hang out, request up.
We'll get you up.
Also tag your uncle, your cousin, your brother, your sister, your grandfather.
Get your dog a Twitter account.
Get them in here too.

1194 is this way
these things these hotels are huge like you know i've never i'm you know i didn't grow up in a real
city city you know my town is the tallest buildings like 11 stories this hotel has got
6 000 rooms in it i think my floor's got like 700 rooms on it or something it's it's kind of crazy
hello
hello
Go to the top, guys.
Get in on those giveaways, those other posts, like, tag, retweet.
Even if it's not a giveaway, give it some love.
Give Crafty Miner some love for hosting the space, even though he's in Vegas
and running around doing all this crazy shit.
Give him some love and give him a follow.
And same with all the other greats in here.
There's not many in the space, so, you know, give a follow to the one at your left
and to your right and the one above you.
Okay, okay.
So I just finally got in my room.
That was a little bit of an ordeal, a little bit more than I expected,
but it did not go badly.
Yeah, so here we are, hanging out in Vegas.
I hope everybody's doing well today.
It's been a long day of travel.
I've been officially up now for probably almost 22 hours.
I didn't sleep at night because I had to be in the airport at dark 30 this morning
so that I could hit my plane and then get there.
So, yeah.
Crazy, man.
That's a hustle, doing all that shit and still running the space.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
So, how's everybody else doing out there?
Anybody that wants to come up and talk, please, we're request up.
We just got settled here.
I'll be here.
I'll be in Vegas until next Wednesday.
So, I'm not going to have space next week.
Just let everybody know ahead of time because I have to travel Wednesday night into Thursday
and then I have to deal with jet lag.
So, we won't have space next week.
I'm going to have a week off and then when we come back, we'll be in space number 20.
And then, you know, that's half a year we've been doing this space.
We've been trying to let everybody, you know, get as many projects as that we know
and projects that we work with as far as projects that we collab with.
You know, we run rumbles with.
We do poker tournaments with.
You know, quality projects that have been around in the space, you know, for at least, you know,
most of them have been around in the space at least six months.
Most of them have been around in the space for a year.
And, you know, we're all working towards the same goal of building Web3.
And then we're working together to do that because, you know, we have greater influence together than we do separately.
And, yeah, it makes it more fun because when we all do well together, it's more rewarding.
So, yeah, 100%.
I've been working on a lot of partnerships and collaborations, helping out other founders and stuff all I can.
It's just building together is the way to go.
Yeah, I think you had to jump into your Discord this week and run rumbles.
I thought about it on Tuesday night.
I just didn't have quite enough time to get over there and do it there, too.
But I've been, you know, been hopping around.
If anybody, any project down there is interested in doing a collaboration of rumbles, even if you're like this last week, we did it with Dino Dames.
And Dino Dames is in South Africa.
So they are exactly opposite pretty much in the world of what we are.
So what we just did with them is that we did a swap of NFTs and there were people came to our Discord and claimed that we went to their Discord and claimed.
And, you know, that's just because the, you know, when I'm having space here at 4 o'clock in Vegas or 7 o'clock on the East Coast, it's like 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning for them.
So sometimes they are under power restriction and you can't get online at that point.
So, yeah, so we did that and that went super well.
And I believe they're minting right now or they're minting here shortly.
So, you know, they're our partner project of the week that we were doing exclusive collab with.
And, you know, we've done that with Troy here in space.
We've done that with also with Shiba Society.
We've done that with lots of other projects.
You know, and it's been lots and lots of fun every time that we get to do that collaboration.
We're actually, we've done it for a few weeks now.
If you want to join in on it, shout out to Draconian Era down there.
They actually joined in on this last week.
We're doing a weekly rumble every single week on Thursday.
We do a space beforehand and then we start the rumble.
So if you're ever free on that day, you're welcome to join because I know you're solid, man.
We try to bring in people we can trust and hold their own.
And we know you do, you know, you go over above and beyond with the games and the rumbles and everything.
So if you want to get in on that, give me a shout anytime and I'll get you in any week you want,
even if you want to just jump in for one week or continuously.
I am going to, I just got to go and make some food here in about five minutes or less.
And so I'll just be away from the phone here for about 10, 15 minutes just to give you a heads up.
No, no worries.
Take your time.
I see that we're getting a few more people here in the room.
Everybody that's in the room that hasn't already tweeted, retweeted.
If you go up to the top, go up to the first post that is the room post and like tag and retweet three friends and, you know, get in on that giveaway.
Let them also know that the space is here going on.
And then, you know, like tag and retweet three people on each of those posts up there.
So you can get in on those giveaways to give you guys a little bit of details about our giveaway is for one of our OG telling tickets.
Our OG telling tickets were our pre mint pass that we gave out before our first mint back in March and April.
We have given out almost 400 of those at this point.
They get you a free mint and automatic whitelisting in our next drop, which will be the Pioneer Pals.
So if you have multiple OG telling tickets and you have them in a different wallet, you'll be able to get a free mint in each wallet.
And in addition to that, 10% of that NFT has minted out, after the Pioneers have minted all the way out, there's 10,000 NFTs in that collection.
Once that has done that, 10% of the proceeds of that mint will be going back to the OG telling ticket holders.
So the projected mint cost of that is $25.
We have $10,000 and then 10% of the proceeds from the sale of those NFTs will be going back to the OG telling ticket holders.
There's possibly 500 of those.
On secondary right now, you can buy one.
It's 0.030 and there's only four listed.
So it goes 0.030 and then it goes 220 very quickly.
So people are holding those, you know, they're coveting them right now because they know mint's coming up.
And I'm giving one of those away here in space tonight.
We normally give away our Discord tokens, which allows you to buy NFTs in our Discord from doing work and being active and helping with, you know, with rumbles and having a presence in Discord.
We'll be doing, coming up here, we'll be doing raids where you can earn points by being raider as we move closer to our next project, our next NFTs release, which is the Pioneer Pals.
And the Pioneer Pals will be our second collection of NFTs.
It is also a 10,000-piece collection and it features the animals that are surrounded, surround the crafty miners as they go out into the world and explore and find new horizons on their way to the claims, which is our third part of our roadmap.
And that will be where the crafting miners and the Pioneer Pals come to rest and it will be, you know, once we get the Pioneer Pals moved out, we'll start working towards that.
We have a lot of things that we want to drop, some alpha, but we are keeping it close right this second until it's ready.
But we think you guys will like it a lot.
Yeah, you know, we've already dropped a lot of alpha and we're letting you earn NFTs by working in Discord and coming in and playing games.
As we work and build this project up into a brand and, you know, we see the future as bright when, you know, things go back to the bull from the bear.
You know, I think things are going to be working that way this year.
So, yeah, I'm super excited.
Yeah, so we're having a good time.
Yeah, I'm having a fun time traveling.
I don't get to travel a lot this time of year mostly because I'm working a lot.
So my business is seasonal so that I generally don't take time off in September and October.
But I don't get to go to events like this very often.
So I'm having fun, doing a little bit of traveling, the flying in, the plane was, I'm so glad I paid for the business spot seats because I look back.
I was flying Spirit and their economy seats are sardine cans to say the least.
I'm not the smallest guy in the world, so I think it would have been fairly uncomfortable.
And it was really not that more.
It was $50 more for the better seat and it was $50 more to check a bag.
So I have more luggage with me and I had a better seat.
And the trip, we got here 30 minutes early, even though we left 20 minutes late.
We must have had one heck of a tailwind going on.
So travels were fun and pretty safe.
I see we just got a few more people popping in the room.
We have our schedule tonight is, we have Nora in the schedule first.
He hasn't dropped in.
He said he would be in in a bit.
And then we have Ape Fathers and Nubis.
I'm just going to kind of free flow it tonight.
So when people want to talk about their project, just request up.
I see the Good Dog Club LLC just dropped in.
You guys are welcome to come up and talk about your project.
Thank you guys for showing up and showing out today.
Yeah.
So if there's anybody else that wants to say anything, say hi.
How are you guys doing today?
Yeah.
So I hope everybody's having a good Thursday.
One more day and it's the weekend.
I'll be spending the weekend here.
I look forward to it.
One of the things that's on my list that's non-casino resort centric is I would like to get to the Goodwill Outlet here in Las Vegas.
It's one of the largest in the United States.
If you guys have never been to a Goodwill Outlet and you like vintage anything, hats, shoes, clothes, you have to do a little digging.
It's kind of like gold mining.
But you get to go in and you buy clothes and hats and shoes by the pound.
I often buy, you know, 50, 100 hats for $15 to $20.
And then I go about restoring and refurbishing them.
Something I've been doing for about 5, 10 years.
And it's a good way to get new hats from my collection.
It's also a nice way to have a little bit of a side hustle out there.
But, yeah, it's fun.
I find some really cool stuff.
The coolest grail item I found to date was a bear that I bought.
It was a mohair bear, which is natural hair bear.
I found it in a kid's backpack.
I got it for $0.90.
This thing was a 1 of 200 in existence.
And when I did more research, there was actually only 125 out there in the wild.
And so, yeah, it was a good time.
So those are kind of fun things.
I'm just kind of having a vacation week, having a good time.
But, you know, on the theme of mining and looking and digging through stuff, you know, that'll be my digging and mining for the week when I get into that place and look for those things.
You know, it's a fun hobby to have.
It's a fun way to have a side income that is, you know, you find good avenues and ways to sell, whether that be eBay or Facebook Marketplace or Instagram or however you want to do that.
A lot of people are using TikTok or Twitch and the like to sell things.
And, you know, it's just another way if you're looking for a little side scratch to help out with pay the bills or take the kids on vacation, which is what I've always done with mine.
It's a good way to do that.
So what's up, The Good Dog Club?
How are you today?
Hey, what's up, Crafty?
Can you guys hear me?
Yeah, loud and clear.
Okay, wonderful.
Yeah, I'm sorry, dude.
I actually was having some issues with my phone today.
I think it's time for an upgrade.
So I'm on the computer right now.
But what's up, everybody?
What's up, Tourette's down there?
I see you, Draconian, Nubis Project, Apefather.
I see you guys down there.
What's up, fam?
Hope everybody's well.
Yeah, thanks for having me up, Crafty.
Appreciate you, dude.
Yeah, no worries.
No worries.
How's that?
I haven't used that feature yet.
Does it work well?
I know you have to stay close to your computer because it doesn't work quite the same way
as the phone, but do you find, do you like that?
Have you been having good results with it?
This is the first time I think I've done it.
I don't think I've used this before.
So yeah, so far, so good.
Let's go.
Dude, I've been, like, all the spaces that I do, I always start it and I start, like,
talking shit to Elon about, like, not being able to set up a mic and, like, studio equipment
and have, like, actual, like, space, you know?
So yeah, that's one thing I do, like, every space.
I'm like, Elon, man, when are we going to fix this?
Who knows?
One day maybe you'll hear it.
Yeah, yeah.
I think he hears more than we think he does.
I think, and I think in subtle ways we see things happen.
You know, if you were around in, like, November, December, and, you know, when Samsung couldn't
even get on spaces for, like, three weeks, and the show that that was, I mean, things
are vastly improved over that.
I've only had one day that was an absolute terror to try to get on.
I tried to start space, like, six times, and it dropped every time I set it up.
But that's been the only time I've had a super issue.
The only other time in my space was rugged, you know, I fat-fingered something rugged at
myself, and I can't blame Elon for that.
Plus, you know, I don't know if you saw that flex he did with the money and sitting on the
throne of money last week when he was saying, what should he buy next?
But that was the pretty major flex going on there.
Yeah, that was epic, dude, for sure.
It was funny, Small World, talking about that, the girl that I, the lady that I sat next to
on the plane on the way out here, she's an ER nurse.
Her brother works for SpaceX.
So we talked about that for a few minutes.
He works at California as an engineer for SpaceX.
So, yeah, it's kind of a funny thing.
I just thought I'd throw that out there.
That's super rad, man.
And, yeah, man, I've been spending my day arguing with people.
So that sounds really cool, actually.
Yeah, it's been fun.
I mean, I like to travel.
I normally travel by train, but 2,500 miles by train takes like four days.
So this time I had to bite the bullet and fly.
And, you know, you guys have a full-on spirit.
It wasn't bad.
I actually liked it better than Southwest.
And it was a direct flight.
So you went east coast to west coast nonstop.
You know, the plane's a little small.
It is a little bumpy.
But other than that, it wasn't terrible.
And I didn't have to fight a two-and-a-half-hour layer in Denver or a 45-minute layer in LAX and run from one side of the airport to the other to hopefully get on my plane before it leaves.
So those experiences I've had before, this was very easy, no terminal hopping for me.
So the only problem was I went into TSA this morning, and I was there an hour and a half early, and they flagged my bags.
I'm here for a magic tournament, and I carry my decks and deck boxes.
And for whatever reason, they had to go through all nine deck boxes that I had.
And they are labeled deck boxes.
They obviously have cards in them in sleeves, and they went through all nine of them anyway.
So it was a little silly.
It wasn't anything dangerous.
I mean, I don't know why it even popped up on the x-ray machine.
So first of all, let me start with what kind of cards are you collecting?
I'm a Magic the Gathering, long-time Magic the Gathering collector.
Okay, awesome, awesome.
So I just started dabbling with card collecting and just collectibles in general and, like, reselling and, like, doing that type of thing.
So that's really cool, man.
I got to pick your brain today.
It's a rabbit hole you can go down forever on.
I have cards that are 30 years old.
If you knew anything about Magic the Gathering, I have almost a full set of power now.
Power 9.
I play old school, which is the cards that are exclusively from 94 and 95.
And those are the only cards you can play with.
And that's just one of the things I do.
And then, you know, I've been playing since I was a sophomore in college.
And I used to run up and down the East Coast and try to qualify for the Pro Tour.
So I am now 30 years – it's Magic 30.
It's the 30th year, and I've been doing it for 30 years.
It's my longest, long-running hobby.
I do get bored with it from time to time, and I get do things like paintball for six months or go fish for a couple years.
And go back to it, the cool thing about the CCG is once you have the cards, you have the cards.
Dude, that's super rad, man.
I definitely got to pick your brain one of these days.
We got to discuss that.
You got to tell me what cards to look out for, man, because I like, like, rip packs, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
I really like ripping packs, too.
That's why the last five years I've been mostly playing limited.
And what a limited is, is you either get three packs or five packs, and you have to make a deck in various ways with those cards.
And then you play in a tournament with those cards.
So you don't get cards.
You don't come with a pre-constructed deck.
You have to kind of use your munition and know what you're doing and kind of build something on the spot.
So it's the most pure form of the game.
You know, and it's really, really fun.
So it sounds cool, man.
Definitely.
Interesting stuff, man.
Definitely.
But, yeah, what's new with Crafty Miners, dude?
So we were telling everybody, we're moving forward to putting our Pioneer Pals collection out.
We hope to get it out here in the next 30 to 45 days.
We've had it ready for quite a long time, but we've been waiting for the market to settle and allow for people to be able to get into the project but not feel like they're taking away from other life events to do that.
So, you know, gas has settled down.
The market seems to be settling down.
And, you know, we think we're going to be in a good place with that.
And we're looking forward to putting that out there and dropping the alpha we have that we've been working behind the scenes and getting ready for with that collection.
So I'm not going to give that away yet.
Some people know what I'm talking about that are in the room, but that's only because they're involved with that thing.
So, yeah, that's what we got going on right this second.
Nice, man.
Yeah, I like what you guys got going on, dude.
It's really cool.
I know that's a huge market.
It's a huge thing going on.
So very cool, man.
I appreciate you having us up here.
I just wanted to tap in.
You know, I know we're a little bit late or whatever, but, you know, just kind of see what's going on and touch base with everybody.
Just kind of see how everybody's doing.
Well, while you're up here on the mic, why don't you go ahead and sell the room with the good dog.
Dude Dog LLC has got going on and tell us what's new with your project this week.
Sure.
It's I mean, it's pretty much the same rundown.
I'll give you guys like every show that I've been.
I noticed a lot of like same faces, but I appreciate everybody down there.
And for anybody that hasn't seen us around, what we are is a collection of 7,500 3D assets or 3D purebred dogs.
There's going to be 11 breeds released.
They're going to be breedable.
What we're working on as far as utilities and IRL stuff is the utilities is going to be like the highest nutrient rich, lowest cost dog food, hopefully on the market.
That's that's really what we're shooting for.
And we're planning on giving that to our holders at cost, as well as hopefully locking down some more partnership with some vets.
That way we can get pet care, the cost of the pet care down a bit there for people as well.
So that's stuff we're working on in the background.
We are also doing some IRL stuff as far as rescuing dogs and fostering dogs right now.
We've been working with the 501C called Marley's Mutts.
They're really big 501C up in northern or central California.
And they've been doing a lot of good stuff.
So we kind of been helping them.
We got a dog adopted not too long ago into a program, which was really cool.
So, yeah, just doing that whole thing.
We are getting our dog food ready to go.
We're getting samples ready to go for everybody.
So we're actually going to be giving those away in some of our spaces to people to sample and to give us feedback on.
So if you are interested in that, just tap in, hit the notice on our profile here.
And you could tap in with the spaces and we'll start those giveaways going probably in the next space in the next day or two here.
We are planning on getting the food out in the next week or two.
So we're not sure exactly on that time frame because we're waiting on some more supplies.
But as soon as it gets here, we're going to start cranking them out.
We already got the industrial dehydrator.
We got a whole bunch of stuff going on.
So, yeah.
And also, if you guys are interested, we do have our whitelist open right now.
All you got to do is join our Discord.
Open up a ticket with your ETH address and the word whitelist.
And we'll put you on there.
And the people, the first 500 people that do that are getting a free mint as well.
So that's something we're offering to everybody right now and trying to fill that up so we can get going.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Yeah.
How are you having people sign up for the wait list?
Are you having them jump in Discord and open a ticket?
Or do you have a post-up?
Or what are you doing for that?
Yeah.
Just all you have to do is click on our profile there.
Click on my face.
Open it up.
You'll see our link tree.
Go to that.
You'll see our Discord link in there.
Just open that.
Open a ticket on our Discord.
And just put your ETH address in there with the word whitelist.
So that's really all it takes.
Awesome.
Yeah.
And people, too, remember when you do whitelists that the .eth doesn't work for whitelists.
So you need to put your actual ETH address in because it doesn't transfer over on the spreadsheet right.
I've run into that in the past.
So make sure that you're putting your full ETH address in the message.
And make sure that it's separate from the message.
So put your ETH address in and then say whitelist in a separate message.
And then third message, you know, say thanks or whatever.
That way, that's easy to copy and paste.
And we don't have, you don't not get whitelists because it has an extra letter or a word or something that somebody misses when they're trying to transfer it over.
Dude, thank you for that.
I appreciate that.
No, that's all super key to it as well, guys.
It makes it a lot easier on our project to get your wallet on that list.
So thank you, Crafty.
I appreciate you once again, man.
You're amazing.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate you coming to hang out in space.
I mean, you know, it doesn't, it's not often I get to do space from somewhere other than I've been doing them.
I don't know if anybody realizes that most of the time I do space from Wegman's Internet Cafe because they've been working on the lines out where I live.
And my Internet speed is abysmal.
I won't even tell you how slow it is.
It's so slow.
It takes six hours to download updates for my pad.
So, yeah, so it's pretty bad.
So I go out and do Internet cafes.
It's one of the reasons I had a space schedule at the time I have because that's when I can get to that cafe and do that.
But I'm excited today because I'm in the Horseshoe Hotel by Caesar in Las Vegas.
I've been here since 8 o'clock this morning.
Let me tell you, this place never stops.
I went outside a little while ago and took a picture of the Paris Hotel, which is right next door.
And I was disappointed because one of my favorite things about Las Vegas is Bellagio's fountains that they usually do to 80s music.
One last time I was here, they had David Lee Roth singing a jump and they had the fountains doing the show to jump.
But it's under repair.
So no fountains for me.
It's one of the reasons I picked the hotel I'm in because I wanted to go see the fountains do their thing.
But no big deal.
Afterspace tonight, I'm probably going to go down to MGM for a little while.
So I might take a nap here a little while before I do that because I have been up continuously since 6 o'clock on Wednesday morning when I got started with my day of work before I came out here.
So, yeah, it's fun.
If you guys haven't been, it's a blast.
I don't think you can find more entertainment in one place in the world.
Yeah, no, dude.
Vegas goes off, dude.
Where are you from originally, Crafty?
I'm on the East Coast.
I'm in an area a little bit west of Richmond, Virginia.
Okay.
Okay, nice.
So I live about two hours from Vegas, two and a half hours or so.
But, yeah, man, now that I know you're out there, dude, I might cruise down there.
Possibly.
We'll see what the wife says.
She's down there listening.
I'll be here until Wednesday.
So, I mean, if you want to come out and hook up, if you don't mind driving out, I'll be here.
I'll be in a different place.
I have a condo for the rest of the week.
It's just I can't check in until Friday.
So, yeah.
So, you know, if you want to come down and hang out or, you know, my eSports team is going to be there until Sunday.
But Monday, Tuesday, I'm going to fly out Wednesday night around 9 o'clock.
So I'm open to that.
I'm down.
Right on, man.
I'll see what's up, dude, and I'll let you know for sure.
Awesome, awesome.
So, yeah.
What have you done down there, dude?
Let's talk about this.
What have you done down there since you've been down there?
Let's get you going, man.
I want to get you on some stuff.
Oh, all I've been doing is playing roulette.
That's what I have been doing.
Oh, bro.
We're going to be just fine, dude.
That's the only game I play.
Yeah.
I have an obsession with it.
It's borderline stupid.
So, I know the odds are just absolutely ridiculous.
I can do math pretty well.
But it's exciting.
So, it keeps my attention.
When you hit that number, dude, that's so awesome, man.
My wife's laughing down there right now because she knows, man.
That's my thing.
I go to the roulette table.
I choose the cheapest table I could find, bro.
Like, 50 cent plays or whatever, you know.
Like, I'm telling you, I'm going to cheapskate with that.
But I'll sit there and I'll play for hours, man, off like 20 bucks, dude.
And I'll be up, bro.
Like, so, I don't know.
Sometimes if I lose that 20 bucks, I just walk away.
Yeah, I'm going to have to find a little cheaper tables.
I've been – the tables here and all the Caesar hotels, which I'm – the Paris, the Planet Hollywood, the Horseshoe are all – and Caesar's Palace are all 15 men's.
And that gets a little expensive pretty quick.
So, I'm going to go explore.
So, the Old Town Vegas is probably what you want to check out.
I can't even think of the name of it right now.
So, my partner and my buddy, he's – I think he's sleeping right now, but he lives in Vegas.
He's just down here helping us with stuff around here.
But, yeah, I'll probably – he has to go out there anyway.
So, man, I don't know.
I might go out there.
I might meet up with you, bro.
Yeah.
You know, the nugget is – I want to get down to the Golden Nugget.
I know that they have dollar tables and a lot of my friends like hanging out there and play poker at the $1, $2 tables.
Dude, when he gets up, I'll get the name of where those tables that we play at are, and I'll send it over to you, man.
That way, you know.
Awesome, awesome.
Any lowdown, anything like that, you know, I'm open to all that because, you know, you guys might get here a little bit more than I do.
You know, especially the food.
Tell me where I can get some cheap food because, god damn, I paid $25 for a burger because I didn't – I don't have a car, so I have to get where I can walk.
And I don't want to spend, like, $500 on Ubering around.
So, yeah, that's the big thing.
So, you're going to have to go downtown, man, old town Vegas, Fremont Street.
That's what it's called.
That's where you want to go.
Fremont Street, they got all the best deals.
They got, like, a lot of those casinos is where you're going to find the cheaper tables and cheaper, like, roulette tables especially.
Like, but, yeah, dude, definitely check out Fremont, man.
And it's, like, older, but it's actually really cool because you'll see, like, the original side of Vegas down there.
So, it's pretty epic.
The epic thing on our journey this time is that we have a friend who comes out here who's the reprogrammer for Crutchfield, which is an online catalog that sells electronics.
He's their head IT, and they come out, like, once a year for this convention out here.
And he told us about this place called the Golden Steer.
And if you guys have never heard of the Golden Steer, Golden Steer is apparently this little restaurant that's in some strip mall somewhere.
And if you drove by it, you would think it was, like, a greasy spoon, you know, kind of a roach motel kind of place.
But apparently this is one of the most famous steakhouses in the world.
And it became such because it was the only place in Vegas that would serve Sammy Davis Jr., serve him.
And so, when he went there, Frank Sinatra went there, Dean Martin went there, the whole Rat Pack went there, and this place became the place.
And apparently there's thousands of photos of all the elite Hollywood, Vegas, who's who of those two places all over the walls of this place.
But you would never know if he didn't go there.
So that's on our agenda to try to get a table there while we're here.
That place is really cool, man.
And so is Herb.
Well, you're going to spend a lot for this.
But if you're looking for, like, good food down there, man, it's called Herbs and Rye.
That's my recommendation, man, to try that place.
My wife and I go there, like, every time we go down there.
Nice, nice.
Yeah, we did Gordon Ramsay.
And when we go to Baltimore, and we go to Baltimore, and then in Philly we do, there's a Japanese noodle house, and that just opened up there.
And that's where we like to go there and get some udon or some ramen.
And then, you know, Gordon Ramsay in Baltimore.
And, you know, we usually have one big meal, and that's just kind of the thing to remember when you go there as a team or group.
And, you know, it's just kind of fun.
And everybody looks forward to it.
Northlis, I don't know if you can talk.
How are you?
We haven't heard you in space in a while.
Are you hanging out, or are you just listening today?
And I know Troy went to go get some food.
I understand that completely.
The looking for food thing was, it can be a challenge.
Yeah.
But it's cool enough now, guys.
We're getting into fall.
Today is officially the last day of summer.
You know, and the days are getting shorter.
It gets me every year.
When we hit about August 15th, the nights get rapidly longer in my part of the world.
It's like, you know, sun until 9 o'clock.
And then on August 15th, it's like 8 o'clock.
And by September 1st, it's 7.30.
And here in about two weeks, you know, it'll be dark at 6 o'clock.
I'm never used to it and never ready for it.
And I always complain about it.
But then I also, you know, complain about how goddamn hot it was all summer, too.
So, you know, but I like this time of year.
I call it the perfect grass-cutting weather because your grass or cross course will never look better than it does right now, cutting-wise.
Though, you know, it can be a worse for the weather from all the heat.
So, yeah.
You know, the fungus, it's among us.
And in my area on the East Coast, it was then army worms the last two years.
One of the sod farms locally lost their entire crop of sod two years ago.
They had 37 acres of turf-type sod for football fields and baseball fields and homes.
They lost all of it in seven days because of an army worm infestation.
So, you know, nature does what nature wants to do when nature wants to do it.
And there's not any chemical in the world that'll stop that if it really wants to happen.
So keep that in mind.
So they tried to stop it with chemicals?
And that's what I was going to ask you.
They use pesticides and stuff, but, like, it just got through or what?
But they partially were able to treat five acres, and they lost all the rest of it.
They lost 30 acres.
And they treated it with – there's a couple of really high-rate chemicals for that.
And, yeah, they ate it.
They said they could hear them crunching the grass.
It was like when you have locusts or cicadas, and it was like that, but it was chewing.
I mean, you could hear them chewing the grass.
It was pretty crazy.
I saw it.
I went out to get some sod late in the season.
I just needed a small patch for, you know, 500 square feet for a small yard.
And I was able to get it on some of what they had left.
But they had fields and fields of just dead nothing.
And luckily they had another site somewhere else where they had five, ten acres that they could cut from.
But, yeah, it took them a year and a half to regrow the sod.
Bro, that's crazy, dude.
I mean, I've dealt with agriculture a little bit, and that's, like, that's wild.
So, yeah, that's where croc and shrinks comes in very, very handy.
Yeah, so, yeah, I've been doing that.
I've been in the lung care world for 25 years now.
And I have a degree in biology with a concentration in environmental issues is what I went to school for.
And I did some canvassing for environmental policy groups for a while right out of school and interviewed for some jobs in D.C.
But I decided not to go that route.
So I've been doing lung care.
I do lung care and gardening.
It's my application.
I do high-end lung care and gardening and design.
I've been doing that for a while.
I like doing it.
But I like doing it on a boutique scale, you know, like the set client list and that kind of thing.
But that's more of a little bit about me.
I don't really get into my real life very much.
I keep it kind of keep it close to the best.
So most everybody knows me for what I'm doing here and then the piece space.
But I do run a real-world business, too.
That's awesome, man.
I'm not even going to lie.
That's freaking awesome.
Like, that's the stuff that I study in my free time is, like, you know, botany and, like, things of that nature.
So that's really cool.
It's fun.
I enjoy it.
I've not been able to do my gardening that I like to.
I do biodynamic gardening for myself when I can get the time to do it this year.
I was not able to.
But I've spent a lot of time learning how to grow vegetables and co-planting and soil conditioning and all that stuff in a biodynamic way.
I say that because it's not organic because you can't use that term because that's a technical certification that the government now ends.
So, yeah, I mean, my main goal was to make a tomato taste like a tomato again instead of tasting like water or fertilizer, which is what ones from the grocery store taste like most often.
And I can taste the fertilizer in those tomatoes, and it drives me nuts.
Dude, have you ever heard of electroculture?
I'm sorry.
I can't put my hand up, dude.
I don't have – there's no hand on the emoji thing here.
No, I haven't heard of electroculture.
Oh, okay.
It was just something I stumbled upon, like, in one of my weird little, like, you know, things with Instagram or whatever.
But, yeah, dude, like, people are saying that, like, there's this thing called electroculture that uses, like, the earth's ionosphere to help, like, grow the plants.
I don't know.
It was, like, interesting.
I was looking into it.
But, yeah, I don't know.
Something you might want to look into.
Yeah, I spend most of my time saying – I don't know if you know what black earth is.
Black earth is how the Incan and the Mayan would cultivate soil so that they could grow crops in Central and South America.
And they have places around the pyramids and certain places in Mexico and Central America where the earth is black to, like, six feet.
They don't know exactly how they got the dirt to be that rich for that deep.
There's a lot of speculation.
But going on that idea and some of the speculative ideas of that, I have been working on raised beds for, you know, six to ten years with my own combination of stuff that I keep pretty close to the vest.
So that in my 2,500 square feet of garden, when I am actually cultivating and using a hydroponic outdoor technique of irrigation, I can cultivate over 800 pounds of tomatoes in eight raised beds that are four by eight feet.
So, yeah, I put a lot of time into that.
So, I keep track of it.
We were at 670 pounds of cucumbers two years ago.
And we did, I think, I had 800, 870, 880 pounds of tomatoes that we can and harvest, make pickles, and canned tomato sauce and pizza sauce and mix also with.
So, you know, just for our own consumption.
We go through all of that in a year.
So, it's fun.
I really enjoy it.
Dude, that's freaking awesome.
I don't even know what else to say other than that.
That's freaking awesome.
Like, that's the kind of stuff.
I have this whole, like, half acre over here.
And I'm like, what do I do with all this?
Like, I need to get, like, that, you know?
Imagine how much you could grow here, bro.
It would be crazy.
I don't have a limitation of space.
That's just all I choose to cultivate because I can't do anything with them anymore.
I mean, my kids, two years ago, set up a farmer's market stand-up at the road.
And their job every day was to go pick cucumbers and tomatoes and sit them on their stand-up at the road, which was a pay-as-you-need or take-what-you-want, leave-what-you-can kind of situation.
And they paid for all their activities for vacation with the money that they got off their tomatoes and keep-anders that they left up by the road.
So, yeah, it's just thinking about things and doing things, you know, and trying to make the world a little bit better the only way that you know how.
I don't spray pesticides in my own garden at home.
I go out and pick the bugs off by hand, and the most aggressive thing I'll use in my own personal garden is neem oil.
But once it gets hot outside, I don't even use that.
So it's a lot of work, but, you know, you get tomatoes that actually – there's a kind of tomato called a lemon boy, and if you're not familiar with the lemon boy, it's a yellow tomato.
Yeah, and I don't know what exactly my tomatoes did, because lemon boys are often a, you know, about an 8 to 10, maybe sometimes 12-ounce tomato.
But three years ago, I got lemon boys that weighed a pound and a half.
So it's Mother Nature doing something interesting, and the only thing I didn't think about when they did that was saving the seeds.
Though it would be a GT situation, and they wouldn't necessarily propagate the same thing again.
So, but, yeah, I mean, it's fun.
And, you know, if you guys don't, you know, if you can, and you cook and you do grow your own stuff, whatever that may be, keep the seeds, because you oftentimes will get something interesting from the seeds.
It may not be the same thing you got the first time, because the bees do miraculous things with pollen, but you might get something you like even better.
Dude, that's novel advice, man.
I always keep the seeds from everything I grow and just keep it going.
So, yeah, man, definitely, dude.
Sounds like you and me are on, like, the same tip with that kind of stuff.
Dude, that's awesome, man.
Like I said, I need to pick your brain about the magic cards, though.
I need to know what to look for.
Old stuff.
Dates, 94 and 95.
That's the main thing to concentrate on when you start out with trying to find stuff.
You know, go to one of the big retailers and, you know, search.
Do eBay searches and look for what the most popular things are out there.
That's, you know, that's how you get started with that stuff.
Go to big conventions and then spend the whole day walking around and looking at the vendors and see what they're selling and what they have and what they're selling it for.
Or what they'll trade for, because oftentimes you'll be able to trade for it cheaper than you wanted to buy it.
Anyway, yeah, so if you guys are, you know, see, we got a few people in the room today.
Some people jumped out.
I know that we have eight fathers down there.
Water just popped in.
We have dog moms in the room today.
We have Paul Mottos in the room today.
We got Darius007 hanging out.
You know, we're just hanging out here.
We're live from Las Vegas.
It is now 8.08 on the East Coast.
It is 5.08 here in Las Vegas.
I know where Troy is.
It's 9 o'clock at night.
So we got, you know, we got East Coast, West Coast thing going on tonight.
It's, you know, Gordo is down there in the audience also.
So we're just kind of hanging out.
I know that there's other spaces going on and people are kind of stretched here this week.
And, you know, I was just trying to have space and let people hang out.
So, you know, if you're down there in the audience and you want to come up and say hi, please do.
It's kind of a more informal space this week because I've been traveling.
And we're just kind of sitting here shooting the stuff, mostly talking about gardening, you know.
But, you know, sometimes you just need to do that.
I think that we miss that opportunity here in space to talk about things.
They bring you in different, you know, even just cross-country techniques and subjects to the forum and the forefront.
You know, you might learn something.
If you're living a dangerous plan, you might learn something.
And, you know, I always learn a lot of interesting things in spaces.
I often spend about an hour after spaces after I'm done doing rumbles.
By the way, we're doing a rumble after space.
If anybody wants to jump into that, I already have it set up in Discord.
So, if you want to jump over there in the Discord, you can get over there in the Discord by clicking my PFT and going to craftyminers.xyz and getting in Discord, setting up, and joining the rumble.
And we'll give away some nuggets.
You know, I've been trying to run the rumbles and try to have fun.
I do random, but for some reason, most of the rumbles that I run come up to be samurai anyway.
I don't pick that.
It's just what it runs for me.
So, we do a lot of samurai rumbles in my Discord.
Yeah.
So, when T. Drilling runs it, he runs the cyber.
He runs the steampunk and the zombie and some of the other ones that I don't have.
And with Smokin' Daily Diff Heads, one of our mods, she can run all the different ones.
She loves to do rumble.
But we have a good time.
You know, I try to run rumbles three times a week.
And then, yeah, anybody that wants to jump in and collab with us, it's what we do.
We possibly might be down to do that with you, McCarthy.
But I honestly, dude, I'm like all thumbs with Discord, man.
I really don't – like, I don't understand the concept of it at this moment.
But I'm working on it.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, I understand.
Yeah.
I didn't really get to Discord for a long time either.
But it's kind of like a private Facebook page that a group of people that can run and be in.
And you all kind of collaboratively be there.
But you can limit who comes and goes.
And, you know, you can have all kinds.
You can gate it.
So, you know, ours has many different levels of token gating depending on what you own.
If you own a crafty miner, you can get into certain things.
If you own a G-Tailing Ticket, you can get certain things.
If you own a PE, you can get certain things.
When you have the new Pioneer Pounds, you'll be able to get into a whole new list of things.
And that's the main thing because you can give your audience and your community the ability to have different levels of engagement depending on their activity and their sponsorship and their enthusiasm for the project.
So, if they just want to be a basic member, they can be a basic member.
If they want to be all the way, they can be a gold, platinum, diamond tier.
I mean, you know, that's kind of the cool thing about it.
So, it's the way we were in a former project and that's how that project was set up.
And we've kind of taken that same tact with this one because, you know, to have engagement, you want people to want things and want to be able to get things, but you don't need them to also, you know, sponsor the project.
So, that's the one way of doing that.
Yeah.
Troy, how was dinner?
Did you finish up or are you still eating?
I'm all good, brother.
I'm ready whenever.
Our audience has kind of dwindled a little bit, but, you know, you're welcome to chime in and talk about whatever you want to.
No worries at all.
I don't mind a small room.
I've been on spaces quite a bit today, so I will make it a little bit shorter than usual.
For those that don't know, I'm Spasm.
My real name is Troy Powers.
I'm the founder of the Nubis Project.
We're entertainment focused and multi-chain.
We're live on Polygon, Ethereum, and Solana.
So, you can check us out with Careless Alien Club, which is minting now for 20matic.
It is our official PFP collection.
We also have staking available for it.
It's gamified kind of staking.
You send your alien out, it collects alien artifacts, and then you collect those alien artifacts.
The more you hold, the higher your odds are for a grand discovery, which the easiest way to explain it is think of those alien artifacts like a ticket.
Think of the grand discoveries like, hey, random giveaways.
And it increases your odds the more you get.
And we're also doing a bunch of other stuff, like giving 5% back to mental health.
We're giving 5% back to addictions causes.
And we're just doing a lot of great things with Careless Alien Club.
We're going to have some cartoons, animations come out, and stuff like that.
So, if anyone's interested in minting, anyone has, you know, some Polygon NFTs, want to come check us out even, jump into the Discord, see what we're all about.
Everything's usually posted in there.
I keep most up-to-date in the Discord, and I pretty much live with you guys on Web3.
So, any questions, the team got you, has you, I got you, anything you need.
Also, I'll do something special for the space.
Anyone who jumps into the Anubis Discord, opens a ticket, and shows proof you're in this space, I will send you some of our crypto Anubis coins, and I'll pick at least one or two to get an NFT from us.
So, jump into the Discord, open a ticket, screenshot that you're in this space, and I will hook everybody up with at least some crypto.
And if not, some of our Anubis coin crypto, we'll give you some NFTs as well.
So, jump in for that chance, and check us out.
Everything we're doing, giveaway up at the top, guys.
Also, links to Mint up at the top.
I always encourage sweeping from Aura Exchange, but we're also on OpenSea, Magic Eden, and all those other great exchanges as well.
So, yeah, I need some caffeine.
That's why I'm cutting it a little bit short.
It's been a long day.
That's why I said I don't know how you do it, Crafty.
You can't be traveling all around like you do, but, you know, I need some caffeine into me.
Nice monster sitting here in front of me waiting to get smashed back.
Not the healthiest, but it does the trick, and I get my work done, so that's what matters.
Shout out to all the greats that are in the space.
Also, the Good Dog Club.
I love what you guys are doing.
I've heard you on quite a few spaces now.
Anything I can do to support you guys, I'm always, always willing to support great projects and great founders like yourself that are helping any causes at all that are like that.
So, whether it's animals or people, you know, anyone that's helping like that, I love supporting them.
So, even if, you know, I can give you guys some NFTs for your community or set up some mint bounties, you can send some people my way.
I can throw them some of our NFTs, and it's real easy with our Polygon NFTs because it matches ETH NFTs.
So, it doesn't matter if you're on ETH, Polygon.
We're also on Solana.
We can help you out.
So, any founders that want to do collaborations, want some NFTs to give out to their community, please reach out.
I'm very open to those things and always willing to help out.
And I never, ever expect NFTs back, especially, you know, the ETH projects, they get hit with those gas fees.
It's a cent for me to send an NFT.
So, much love to you with those ETH gas fees, but it is never, ever expected to return that.
I always just do it just to help out.
And I always remember this movie, if anyone hasn't seen it, please check it out.
It's called Pay It Forward.
I seen it when I was a kid, and it just stuck with me all my life.
And it's about doing good deeds for people.
And it might not come back to you from that person, but it'll come back to you in some way, shape, or form.
Pay for someone's coffee in a drive-thru.
Send an NFT out to a friend.
Get them into Web3.
Just do something good for people.
And, you know, it will come back to you in some way, shape, or form.
I truly believe that.
And, you know, I've lived a very, very hard life.
But when I grow up and I learn and try to give and push forward and help, what a difference it makes.
And life just feels different when you're putting that forward.
And it feels damn good.
Even if you're a selfish person, it feels good to do it.
So, do it.
Get that endorphin hit and support some people.
So, much love to everybody up here.
Much love to you, Crafty Miners, for holding down the space, even though you're rocking it out in Vegas and doing your thing, man.
So, much love to you and your grind and all the people in the space.
So, again, anyone jumps in the Discord, I'll give you at least some of our crypto.
It's called NubisCoin.
And you can also, you can bid on NFTs.
We got raffles going on.
We got a bunch of stuff you can do with that NubisCoin.
And I'll pick at least one or two to get a careless alien NFT.
So, jump into the Discord.
Check out the great Crafty Miners, the Good Dog Club, these greats over here.
And check out all the other greats that I'm sure will be here.
And everybody next to you.
You know, in these small spaces, we can support everybody.
To your left, to your right, to the one above you.
Give them a follow as well.
Much love, Crafty.
Much love, everybody else.
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Yeah, Troy, we appreciate all you do.
And, you know, helping with co-hosting tonight with space.
The clubs with the Rumbles.
You know, all the clubs.
Because, you know, you guys have been around and helping and supporting since we minted in April.
And I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
The, you know, and the partnerships that we've developed through our collaborations.
And the community that we're trying to develop as a community of founders that are like-minded or working towards common goals.
The, you know, the one thing to bring up, too, to all those people down there that aren't founders or, you know, project involved in doing project leadership.
A lot of us work with Aura Exchange.
You can see I have a post up top with Crafty Miners and Aura Exchange.
And Aura Exchange is now ranking projects based on engagement.
So, if you guys can all give that a like and a tag and retweet, that would be awesome because that helps us with working with them.
Also, they're going to be dropping, if you bought your 100 gold passes, at some point during the mint of the ETH gold passes.
They'll be dropping the 100, the last 100 silver passes that you get for buying those gold passes if they haven't done that.
I haven't checked my wallet last couple days.
But I know they were working on getting those out, too.
And, you know, you can always earn a silver pass by jumping in the Crafty Miner Discord, earning some nuggets.
The Discord target kids can be turned in for Aura Silver passes, which, you know, at some point in the future will earn you income or earn you rewards from them.
So, be aware of that.
They're also an awesome place to buy NFTs or transfer NFTs.
Gas tends to be a little cheaper than it is over there on OpenSea.
So, look for that.
And as Troy was saying with gas, I've been so happy the last week about 9 o'clock at night because gas fees for ETH have been like 94 cents.
And we haven't seen that in six months.
So, you know, the Polygon and Solana are definitely cheaper as far as that.
Right now, ETH gas fees are pretty good, too.
So, you know, share support if you can.
What's up, Chris?
How are you tonight?
Can you hear me okay?
Sorry.
I had a glitch there.
Yeah, we can hear you just fine.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Hey, I just wanted to come up on behalf of NAR.
I guess there was a conflict between spaces and he didn't want to let you down.
So, if I'm too late, I do apologize.
I was with family and I told him I would try to get to it, but he did not want to miss the space.
Well, that is awesome.
We'll have to tell him thank you very much.
Yeah, you're welcome to talk about Nardea and present that project for him.
You're not too late.
It's always, we always have time for our friends and people that we're working with.
You know, even if you were not on my schedule, I would let you come up and talk about just about anything you wanted here in space because you come and support.
Awesome.
Well, that means a lot, man.
You're good people, man.
I wish I got to talk to you more often, but for whatever reason, I just, I don't know.
I got to submit the notification so it comes on because everyone I know works with you.
You know, so it's like I don't see enough.
But anyhow, I appreciate that.
I posted some things at the top.
You know, so a few things from, you know, my perspective, because I know when our father comes up here, you know, he talks a lot about like the fundamentals, which is very important, and the collaborations and everything.
So what I would say I would go over is, you know, the hard work and effort of what he does.
So, you know, looking at somebody, you know, actually putting in the work, especially, you know, as a founder is like he like when I when I first started working with him, you know, it was like, hey, you know, can you hop on spaces?
But he just loves to go and talk to people and he wants to do it himself.
It's and it's it's not because he likes to hear himself talk.
It's because he's so passionate about his project that he wouldn't want it to anyone else to explain it, you know, any other way.
So I guess it's it's more of like a salute to him, you know, being up here and talking about it.
Um, you know, from from my experience, the the way that he's designing stores fronts for storefronts for people, you know, looks incredible.
You know, I was looking firsthand in a project that I'm in for Graham Goyles, you know, seeing also Wolf Punks, you know, and a few others in the works that I've actually got to seen, you know, pictures for and just actually seen the whole process.
Because me, I'm not like a founder, I'm in two projects, but, you know, like sometimes like when I'm in the conversations, if I'm part of the thread, you know, you kind of get to watch like from beginning to finish of what it takes.
And it really is, you know, to a level of like perfection to get it to be centered and located exactly where you want, you know, an emblem to be or an NFT that you want to be put, you know, onto a shirt or if you want a polo, you know, that's more of a, you know, classier style, you know, per se.
Like all the different elements and all the different traits and characteristics of all the procs that are available.
It's like he has such good resources to find that.
And I told him, you know, the more projects that you find, you know, the more that it'll start coming your way, you know, because merchandise is important, you know, for Gnar.
And it's important for, you know, a lot of people in here, if you're not familiar with them or you haven't heard of them, he focuses a lot on connecting people.
So I'll explain something to you about that, like in cross pollination.
And it was nothing against our exchange or anything because I'm invested in our exchange, he's invested in our exchange, a lot of people are invested into it.
But by accident, I went the other day or it wasn't on accident.
I went ahead and did it.
And I started going into every person's little thing and writing how Mint was coming soon for Grown Goyles.
And I got a message shortly after, you know, saying like, hey, man, you know, like we handle that.
That's not what you do.
And I was like, hey, my apologies.
Like, you know, if we're all part of something, you know, I kind of was under the impression that cross pollination is good and I can go into each, you know, little box, you know, and write that project a message, you know, to help share the word.
But they rather do it through them and then, you know, let them relay the message to the entire community.
But I'm a I'm a personable person.
So, like, you know, I rather it come from me than, you know, from somebody else.
But the idea is, is that, you know, everyone might have their own store or their own merchandise, but it's just it's connected to you.
And this can be connected to multiple places.
So if someone's skimming through, you know, looking at Nubis Project stuff and they come across crafting minor stuff and then they run into, you know, Apefather NFT or the or the Good Dog Club, you know, it's it's free.
It's free advertisement and promotion, you know, from being a part of it.
I mean, there's only so many dial passes left.
I think there's 40 or so I'm looking forward to those selling out the expansion to Polygon is going to be huge.
But the guy works, you know, tremendously.
And, you know, all I've been trying to do is, you know, build myself up as a person, you know, so I can, you know, help get people to be like, hey, if this is a good avenue to go down, like and I tell them it is that they would be like, OK, you know what?
It's worth exploring.
It doesn't mean you have to do it.
No one's here to force someone to do it.
But I mean, what I can tell you from the experience of it, and I still got Nubis' stuff here.
I've had a lot of IRL stuff that I've had to take care of.
I think we all kind of run into that.
But I went and bought some coffee, you know, because I'm a big coffee drinker.
A, it's excellent.
B, the packaging looks really cool to have a NAR AFDAO bag of coffee.
And it came straight to my house, you know, within several days from the click of a couple buttons.
And I used my Visa card.
I didn't use crypto.
You can.
But it all goes toward that Web3, you know, experience either way because, you know, it's on the blockchain.
So, I mean, if you haven't heard of them or if you haven't experienced or purchased anything, you know, I definitely suggest to give it a whirl, you know, because or even check out the shop and, you know, consider putting yourself on that storefront, you know, because, you know, the reality is, is that it's not going anywhere.
People have that need.
It might not be immediately like today, but it's there and ready for you when the time comes, when it's needed.
And it's one less thing that you have to worry about.
What I could tell you is, is the biggest thing was, is that like for Grimm Goyles is like when I spoke to Pinky about it, he goes, listen, he's like, I dealt with merchandise.
He goes, I had to find a distributor.
I said I had to make sure the distributor made the product right, use the right materials, align things properly.
I'm going to do all the artwork.
You know, they don't need to do the artwork.
I just need them to do placement, whatever.
Then I have to have them ship it to me.
And then I have to go down to the post office, take all the orders and go ahead and ship them all out.
And I don't want to do any of that.
Like, I can't do that.
And so that basically, you know, was how I was like, well, have you spoken to Gnar about that?
Because I know, you know, Nightman.
And he was like, no.
And we, you know, set up a call.
And it's just one less thing that you have to worry about in your channel of revenue stream, you know, that you could focus on more of the priorities, not that merch isn't.
But know that it's just taking care of the shipping, the products getting there, and all the person has to do is click on a button.
And time is our most valuable asset.
If we had unlimited time, we'd mint out in one day, right?
So, I mean, the idea behind that is that it makes your life a lot simpler.
You know, he cares about people and individuals.
I do as well.
That's why I enjoy working with him.
You know, he works really hard on a daily basis.
I'm sure he'll be happy when I told him I made it here.
And, you know, that's about it.
I, you know, couldn't say better things.
And I think a lot of people that are on here have talked to him or are in the process of working with him or at least have had a conversation.
And I've never really met anyone that could ever say anything bad about it, which is one of the best things we can use, you know, in this space right now.
And that goes with a lot of people in this room, too.
You know, so it's not just a salute to him.
It's a salute to everyone in here.
So, I mean, that's really what I had to say.
And, you know, I appreciate you, you know, giving me the time to come up and talk.
Always, always.
Thank you very much.
I know that he was working on some stuff in the back end, trying to get things ready for the next minute, trying to take care of some design work and stuff like that.
He messaged me a while ago.
So, I appreciate you being able to get in here and tell everybody about NAR.
NAR is a great supporter of a lot of projects in here, and a lot of projects in here are collabing with them to get merch out to their communities.
So, yeah, it's an awesome thing.
It's an awesome thing not to have to worry about that, to be able to purchase an NFT, to be able to get that rolling for your project.
And not only for your project, guys, you can do it for yourself.
So, you go buy that NFT, and you own, like a lot of us do, a couple hundred thousand NFTs that you want to produce merch for, and you have IP rights for your stuff, your NFTs.
You can produce your own merch, and that's the whole idea behind it.
And then the DAO holders get revenue share with that or rewards.
And then, you know, the more people that are involved, the larger the project is, the more that there is of that, and the more presence that it makes in Web3.
And that you can spend crypto or fiat to purchase things and pay for shipping.
It allows it to be Web2, integration into Web3, or say that, you know, you just don't want to move your crypto right now.
And you'd rather just, you know, pay with the cash you got on hand in your, you know, PayPal, Venmo, whatever kind of account that you have.
You can do that.
So, be aware of that, and if you're interested, you know, certainly hit them up, go look at that project.
You know, we own one of those NFTs also, and we have that working in the works.
So, that's all I'm going to say.
Yeah.
Also, why I'm at it, if you guys are an OG tailing ticket holder, and we are giving an OG tailing ticket away, we just gave a sneak peek in We Changed the Art.
So, if you haven't refreshed your OG tailing ticket lately, get in your wallet, refresh your OG tailing ticket, and We Changed the Art.
It is fly.
It is awesome.
It features all the legendary NFTs from our first collection, the Crafty Miners.
So, just go hit Refresh, and you'll have new art.
And make sure to screenshot it and save it, because it will change.
Yeah, so we changed that on a monthly basis to give everybody sneak peeks and show them what's coming up.
Before that, we had Trash Panda with chocolate in an AI background that we had developed to show people some of the artwork for the legendaries in the next collection.
And we have now switched it to the limited area NFTs.
So, yeah.
And I'm giving away one of those in space to get up there and smash that space post.
Get a few more people here in the room.
Go ahead and down and hit the little purple pill.
Share it out.
That way you can get entered into that giveaway, which I'll give away here at the end of space.
Then we're going to jump over in Discord, and we're going to do some rumbles for some Discord tokens.
And then tonight, I'll be sending out people that have cashed in some rewards today.
So, those of you, if you're here in space and you've done something that you are waiting for an NFT,
I'm just waiting for gas to go back down where it was last night or the night before so that I can send those rewards out to you.
And then we'll get those out for everybody.
So, and if you haven't claimed, make sure if you were in the Rumble Thon, either with the Dino Dames or with the Crafty Miners,
and you haven't claimed, make sure you make your claim so that you can get your prizes.
Because nobody likes to not get their prizes.
Everybody likes to win stuff.
I like to win stuff.
Even if it's just rumbles, I like to win things.
If I like to win cash, then I like to win other things.
But, you know, Rumble satisfied the need to win here lately.
So, yeah.
Thanks, Chris, for coming in and talking about NAR.
You know, I'm looking forward to being able to order NFTs.
I mean, T-shirts with NFTs that I own them.
And with other NFTs from other projects that I like the art for.
You know, because that's what a lot of us are here for, what brought a lot of us here in the first place.
One was community, and two was art.
And three, we stayed for the community.
We came for the art.
And, you know, we're moving forward together.
So, you know, that's kind of what we got going on here in space.
Yes.
Annoyed pandas.
I see you're requesting up.
I let you come up and talk.
How are you tonight?
Yeah.
So, while you're up there sharing the Crafty Miners post, make sure that you share Nubis Project's post.
Make sure you share the Good Dog Club's post.
Make sure you share Nardeo's post out.
Get some recognition for all of those things out there.
But, you know, share the art or exchange partnership posts up there out.
Get all those projects.
You know, we do what we can do the way we do it because you guys help us spread the word about what we're doing.
And quite simply, it is one day at a time, one post at a time, one like, one retweet.
And that is the organic way to build, the long-term way to build the longevity of a lot of these projects.
Because we want people that want to be in projects.
And, you know, it's great if you FOMO in, but we like it even more if you stay.
So, yeah, Chris, you got your hand up?
Yeah, I was going to say, if you had time to, I wanted to talk about Grimm Goyle's, not a whole lot.
But just, Dom, I know we're not on the schedule for it, so I don't know if you're ahead, behind, or whatnot.
But I definitely wanted to drop some alpha on that.
Yeah, I'll let you share.
I want to let Gordo share, too.
So I want to let Gordo share.
And then, well, I can let you go back up after that.
I did let somebody up.
Annoyed Pandas, I did let you up, but you dropped back down.
Did you want to come up and say something?
Request back up, and I will let you back up.
But I want to throw it over to Apefather, to Gordo, if he can talk about what he's got going on.
And then I see Jay popped in the room down there, too.
Hey, Jay, what's up?
And then, Chris, you can talk about the Grimm Goyle's.
So let's go over to Apefathers.
Hey, Gordo, what's up?
Yo, yo, yo.
Oh, you know, those wonderful days where you just feel like crap.
But this is where I love working and living in Web 3 here.
Like, I've had so many jobs where I've had to, like, literally leave because I couldn't work, couldn't do anything.
But, like, when this passes, it passes.
So I can get right back into it and just keep on pushing.
So doing good, just, you know, loving the convo, loving that I was actually able to jump up here.
We are Apefathers.
We are a revitalization project.
De-rugged an old ape dad's project where there were too many red flags.
There's a lot going on into myself coding and deploying a diamond contract.
And that's just the base implementation to get the art out and get it minted.
We have a lot of plans of expanding the actual ecosystem directly tied to the NFTs because it's all part of the same contract.
And I won't get in too much of it because, like, I think somebody said it earlier today.
We are winning now because we're actually getting together.
We're actually cross-supporting each other, and I don't just mean project-supporting projects and founders-supporting founders.
But, I mean, like, we're sharing our ideas.
We're sharing our skills.
I mean, I'm not going to go too far into it, but I am making sure that some of our projects across this space are being valued.
Or that's the easiest way I told my wife was, let's get these founders off of all these launch pads.
Put the power back into the founders' hands, into the project owners' hands.
And, like, it's all coming from just the knowledge that I spent learning the dev work.
So, Eight Fathers, we're really just pushing forward.
We did a burn claim of the old rug, and we're moving forward in the public mint.
Obviously, times are tough now with the market not necessarily moving as fast as it were, but we're still going to be going.
And we've built this on pure community, pure support from the original holders that were essentially rocked.
And we basically gave them full new art, full IP, full commercial IP for every NFT that they own,
on top of all the future benefits that we were putting into the contract as we move along in Web3.
And I just love it, because I'm really learning.
I'm really expanding the knowledge base of what I...
I never thought I would code a contract, and now I've got a diamond implementation that we can add standards to.
We can update.
We can add functionality to.
We can add staking.
We can add liquidity pool.
We can add whatever we want.
The mutability of the diamond standard allows transparent upgrades with the same address.
You never have to migrate.
You never have to change.
You can add cross-chain.
You can add functionality to it directly.
You can fix functionality or add functions that didn't exist when you previously deployed,
like new standards or new abilities that weren't in the blockchain before.
And you don't have to actually migrate the contract.
You don't have to create a whole new contract.
You don't have to redeploy that original contract.
You're literally just tying on the functionality to it.
So, without going into too technical deep dive, we will be bringing like a kind of gamified ecosystem,
sort of like an NFT to life, DGEN dads, and possibly as we move along here, DGEN moms.
We'll have some IPs, I can tell you right now, with the OGs.
I'm going to be putting out an announcement soon just to restructure our mint in this market.
If the OGs, which will be the phase one, if the community decides it, are the only ones that they will be minted at the current price,
then we will be closing phase two and be doing a possible significant reduced collection of the remaining collections to get them minted out.
And we're going to be just growing.
We're going to be putting so much power and potential into these NFTs with just everything.
Just the art, the tech, the community, the power that we can bring as a father-centric brand, because fathers love everything.
We love art.
We love connecting.
We love support.
We love families.
We just are all-encompassing.
And we just want to make sure that that's well-respected in this space and that we can bring something like that.
So I sometimes tease this, that as we move along, because we're just going to constantly push, no matter what the mints come in, no matter what happens,
we are going to be pushing along through this market, because at some point we know that's going to come back, and we know we will be valued.
But in the meantime, we're just kind of dropping little tidbits.
I want to be building this with the community, alongside the community, because I have all my ideas.
I have like a five- to ten-year long-term plan, almost already starting to be built out in contracts and just not deployed and connected.
But I'm not going to do that until the community is happy with the course of action that we're going to be going that makes sense for the brand, the project, and where we want to go.
And it's just, it's fun.
And I'm really excited to actually get into releasing our project here and getting this friggin' phases minted out.
Because as soon as we do, we're going to be looking at just implementing, say, oh, what, eight moms?
Yeah, we'll have some eight moms, maybe.
And then the possibility of your NFTs, the eight father NFT, or the eight mom NFT, possibly being more than one IP directly embedded within that one asset to encompass the game-to-life ecosystem.
I'm sure you could probably have an idea of where I'm going with that, but we like to leave it up to people's imaginations, because then it's just so much more fun.
We can get all of these ideas just more flushed out.
I don't want to be the only one that's making all these plans.
I want the community to enjoy the art, to enjoy the assets, and to enjoy the brand as we grow it, as we build it.
So that's pretty much eight fathers.
We've got some legend raffles going on right now with Inspector Gadget 101 being raffled off.
And yeah, we're just going to be constantly growing.
Like I say, we're a small community-centered project that turned a rugged project around.
And with my dev skills in learning the diamond contract and solidity, and we have some artists in our space, and all the network connections that I've made, we're just going to constantly be pushing forward.
Because you don't always have to have those millions of dollars to innovate and push tech and build something new in the space.
So that's what we do.
And we just love being those crazy tapes on the blockchain.
Nice, nice, nice, nice.
Yeah, I mean, I'm excited about what you're doing.
And what you talk about, and there's just the idea of the layers of the diamond, and the shape of like the decahedron building versus the linear line building you kind of have with the blockchain.
And it's kind of like a world building, if you let your imagination go.
And I like the way that that's going.
It's a whole other concept idea.
And layers.
You know, not to quote Shrek, but onions have layers.
And people do, too.
And so do projects.
So, yeah, I mean, it's awesome.
And I think that what you're doing, and, you know, you have a long track record of projects that you've been involved with, and things that you've done, and all those things are doing amazingly well.
So, you know, we look forward to seeing more from you.
Yeah, I appreciate you, man.
And, yeah, we're just here to build, just here to create, just here to push that tech and connect with such amazing people.
Because, like, dude, I was hanging out with Cristiano the other night, and after he had done, like, the Playboy Mansion space, and he was so, you could just feel how bubbly he was.
You could feel that amazing energy and how passionate he was about, dude, this is where we're going.
We are actually getting somewhere.
And just because the influencers and the big ones and the big businesses and New York Times and stuff like that, they don't see what we're building.
I mean, that's good. Let's have it that way. Let's keep it that way.
Because that's how we're actually going to be building with the real people and not just the ones that come in for the next massive push.
Yeah, and we're early. I mean, even, you know, we're still so early.
And, you know, most people don't even have very, very cursory experience with NFTs.
And people still think of NFTs as names.
And there's so much more at this point, and there's so much more possibilities with them.
Just on the idea that you can change the picture or put compartments or watermarks that change the picture of the NFT.
And just some of the technologies that's there leads to implementation with all kinds of things out there.
And you can let your mind run with that as to how they can be implemented in the real world.
So, yeah. I mean, just if you have an idea, jump in on it now.
Talk to people like Gorda. Get in there and talk to people like Troy.
You know, get in there and talk to, you know, Brandon over at NAR.
And, you know, really get in to and utilize these people for their knowledge and talk to them.
And you learn something and see how it can help you or help your project.
And, you know, it's pretty cool.
And it's pretty cool that they're volunteering their time to help you with that.
You don't get that very often.
Well, that's the thing, right? We all win.
We all win when we work together.
Like, long is the day of the, give me $10,000, $20,000 and I'll whip all of this up for you.
Where is the money going?
Where is the business actually making anything?
And where is the control that the founder actually has within the contract?
Let's put it back into our hands.
Let's put it back into all of our hands.
The people that you trust.
The people that know and have the skills to do it.
And that you want them to do it, not just outsource something because you want it done.
And I will tell you, and I'm not going to name names and all that, but I've come across a couple of great friends of mine, founder projects.
But they've ended up, because they had outsourced a contract, that outsourcing didn't necessarily think of all edge cases or use cases or possibilities that they may need to be.
There's a current, there was an issue with their CrossMint functionality after CrossMint themselves changed an implementation address.
So, and that contract wasn't actually able to change the address within the storage.
So, very simple oversight, but now ends up being a whole problem for that founder.
And this is what we want to do.
We want to make sure to cover those edge cases, not just in the contract, not just technical edge cases, but project edge cases, business edge cases.
Where do you want to go and where do you want to go in the future?
And I can see that right now with the legacy type projects that they're trying their hardest to try and figure out how to keep the valuation of their original projects while adding functionality, while building on what they've already done.
And shy of deploying a new contract with a new collection and essentially flooding your business with more assets, there's not much you can do outside of deploying a diamond and adding an upgradable capability to it.
So that you're never left in the dark, you can always implement what needs to be implemented, but full transparency has to be made with your community, full information, and just let them know.
Because this is how we win.
Just because the blockchain works a certain way doesn't mean we can't work within the confines and restrictions or create new methods to do things like ETHscriptions.
Like, hell, we're not actually putting the art on IPFS.
We're inscribing it to the ETH.
Like, there's so many different ways and possibilities that I just want to keep ahead of the game.
And this is how we do it.
This is what we do.
All the different ideas and collaborating and growing together, this is how Web3 actually grows and pushes forward.
Oh, we lost Chris.
What's that?
Oh, we lost Chris.
He's back.
Yeah, it's, you know, the, and the harder we work, you know, we, you know, we do take time.
Like Chris said before, we all have to take personal time, whether that be time with our families or time for ourselves.
You know, we all get sick and we all have those things.
So, you know, just because a founder is incognito for a week or, you know, sometimes two doesn't mean that the project's rubbed.
It means that they have had to take some time.
That's the real world.
I know that Web3 moves at an incredible pace.
And for a long, long time, we've all tried to move at that crazy pace.
But sometimes people do need breaks.
So, you know, don't, don't get so crazy fummoed and worried that somebody has taken a couple minutes for themselves.
Because, you know, in order for this to be long-term and sustainable, we have to learn how to make it work without burning up.
Just putting that out there also.
But, yes, I like the idea of putting the projects back in control of their contracts without having to worry about an outside dev disappearing and not having access to wallets and projects.
I think everybody has been involved with one of those projects at some point.
And, you know, one day you're presenting in space and the next day the project's done and it's got five collections and it's been around for a year and a half and it's no more.
And the sooner we get rid of that happening or happening super less frequently, the more respect we are going to have overall as a large community.
And able to move and push forward because we can do a lot of things.
DAPs do a lot of awesome things and they do more and more really cool things all the time.
So, thank you, Gordo, for coming as always.
You know, we look forward to hearing more about Ape Fathers and the diamond contract and seeing how it's able to be implemented for us.
I need to get in a chat with you at some point.
So, as soon as I get a little bit more free time here farther in the fall, I look forward to talking with you and learning more about this.
So, yeah, and also, did you throw a post up top so people can get to everything about your project so they can learn more about it?
Well, I didn't.
Yes, I completely forgot.
I see a lot of Grim Goyle.
Give me two seconds.
We are giving out an Ape Father on this space, of course.
I just love giving them out.
I love getting real people into our project.
And it's just great.
It's amazing to feel like we're actually being productive in this space.
We're moving forward.
We have something that we can control.
We can dictate the terms of and where we want to go with it.
So, you nailed it on the head.
Like, we'll definitely be talking in the back ends.
And there's definitely going to be more diamonds coming out because there's a lot of individuals and founders.
Like, you were starting to see, why am I going to deploy an entire new flooding contract, all of that, when I'm going to do a new drop.
Let's drop it as a diamond.
And let's drop it as the new ecosystem and tie everything together out of that new drop.
So, yeah, you're adding something there.
But in terms of actually building an ecosystem, I like to call it, of smart contracts and not just one that regulates the token.
But an entire multitude of something that literally the world is our oyster.
We can go in any direction you want.
DeFi or just straight up gamification or just straight up really anything.
There's no limit, in my opinion, as to what we can do in terms of we can evolve with the times.
And we can add, remove, upgrade transparently right on the fly.
And, yeah, we'll definitely talk more because, like I say, I think this is the way that we protect Web3.
But we also allow it to evolve and grow without having all of these assets, having flooding all of this stuff and essentially devaluing your own business and brand just because you want to add a functionality to it.
Let's do that directly to the contract itself.
Yeah, sounds awesome.
The, yes, yeah, it's pretty cool.
So, yeah, we like everything that you're doing and we appreciate you coming in and showing support.
Everybody get up top and like that post that he posted up top for you all.
You know, share it out.
Get people more aware of what's going on and what's available.
And get in on that giveaway.
Thanks, as always, Borda.
Appreciate you coming to space.
I want to throw it back over to Chris or Jay, whoever's going to speak for the Grimm Royals.
And they're already throwing some stuff up in the Jumbotron up top.
Get up there and like and retweet some of those posts for them.
Show that support.
They got a lot going on.
And I'm sure they're going to tell us what they got going on.
So what is up, guys?
Hey, how's it going?
But I'm going to kick it off real quick.
And I guess Jay popped down, you know, just so you know, I'd love to have you guys and all the projects on here.
I do the Erso Show at 9 p.m.
You know, but I'd like to spend some time on your space.
So maybe I'll maneuver that.
But, yeah, I mean, there is a lot going on.
Mint is amongst us.
You know, I put a lot of the slides that, you know, me, Pinky and Jay got together and put our minds to.
And then Pinky went ahead and designed them.
So, you know, if we're ever talking up here and, you know, there's a lot going on, you know, you can get lost.
I get it, you know, when you have a lot of different things going on within, you know, a company.
But Mint being the biggest one is coming up here shortly.
The whitelists were filled.
So those are finished.
But we could go ahead and offer anyone in this room, if you haven't already, you know, join the Grimgoyle's Discord.
Write that you came in from the Crafty Miner space, you know, so we could give you some love as well.
And we'll go ahead and drop you 6,000 GG points, you know, to add to your GG point collection if you're new.
You know, so and then when you're in the Discord, you could take a look at the chart in there and you could see exactly what that means for you.
But it is very generous.
So it's not far off from actually being able to get, you know, an actual product, you know, whether it's merchandise or an NFT.
So it's not like you need 6 million to get going.
But, I mean, as far as, you know, the Mint goes, it's going to be on Ethereum.
You know, it's going to be 0.045 ETH.
You know, a collection of 6,888, which is going to be one fun journey along the way.
You know, it's a large number.
It's not small.
You know, so the level of engagement that we're going to be having, you know, is going to be absurd.
You know, the good news is, is, you know, we have me, we have Jay, and we have Pinky going out there, you know, as, you know, three separate, you know, entrepreneurs, all under one umbrella, you know,
doing shows in spaces, being in different places at different times, you know, it's been not as busy of a week, you know, this week with spaces.
So, you know, I've hopped on to some of Jay's, Jay's hopped on to some of mine to help out, you know, and give that support.
But as far as it goes, you know, if you like Marvel Comics, if you like any type of comics, DC, if you like Star Wars, if you like wrestling, if you like 90s characters, comics, you know, you name it, you know, then this is the project for you.
Now, if that's something that you don't like, it's still the project for you, because you have the opportunity to go ahead and basically do trait bounties, which allow you to win prizes along the way.
So, for instance, if you get a Grimm Goyle, and it's not your favorite, but it's silver-skinned, and we come out and say, hey, this month, we're going to go ahead and do a raffle for anyone that has a silver-skinned Grimm Goyle.
So, you know, you can go ahead and win, you know, an iPhone 14, you know, an iPad, you know, there's tons of different, as an example, prizes you can win.
Or Ethereum-ized, if the Grimm Goyle has Ethereum-ized, you know, you can go ahead and win anywhere between $500 to $1,000 worth of Ethereum, you know, by holding that.
So, there's definitely rare ones to chase after.
So, it's definitely going to be one, you know, exciting experience.
It's going to, you know, it's going to be nonstop from us.
I'm looking forward to that.
I'm going to pass it on to Jay.
There's a lot of slides up top there.
I have to go.
But thank you so much, Crafty Miners.
I will make sure to keep in the back of my mind and set reminders on my calendar, because organization is always something I can work on to make more time for you guys and support you.
Because every time I've ever come up, you've been more than awesome.
So, I appreciate it.
I know Jay Connects will destroy the floor here and get everyone pumped.
And I'll see you guys later.
Awesome, awesome.
Thank you, Chris, for being a part of the space.
Thank you for coming and hanging out.
You know, and doing a good job presenting multiple projects.
You know, it's hard enough to present one project or keep one project straight.
But you're out here talking about more than one.
I don't know how you and Mellie do and present more than one project.
I would get all brain jumbled and, as I call it, switch to his brain to forget things.
But you do keep it consistent and give awesome messages about what you're doing and working with projects that you're working with.
And I think that's awesome and an awesome contribution you're making to the space.
So, I appreciate you.
So, Jay, are you going to talk to us tonight or are you just going to sit down there and not talk?
Oh, no, I'm good, bro.
This is waiting my turn.
Like Chris said, we have a lot to offer the Grimm Royals.
And I'm glad that Chris is on the team.
He's a talented individual, 20 plus years in the sales industry.
And as you can see, after that pitch he just did, there's not much I really can say.
But I'm going to add in that we have some alpha to share, right?
I shared it earlier in the last space.
I'm going to share it here as well because I love bringing alpha to your space,
especially for owning a Grimm Goyle utility that was part of the initial plan is that you can get a free mint on our second collection, right?
We mentioned that the whitelist, you know, was available but closed on Tuesday.
Mint price is going for 0.045.
Ethereum collection is 6,888.
There's a 608, a six though.
There's 168 one of ones.
We have mystery boxes as an additional bonus.
There's 16 mystery boxes and 17 game packs, all of which you get one of ones in them,
including pixelated game characters for a pixelated game.
Blink Grimm Goyles, which you can customize.
So every single box, you can get a customized Grimm Goyle of your choice.
You'd sit down with Pinky on Discord.
You'd say, listen, I want this skin.
I want that skin.
I want these eyes.
I want that hair.
I want those teeth.
So it's kind of like what we did with the V1s, but there's no potions involved, right?
That makes the art a little bit easier for Pinky just to select it on his computer, right?
So you get all of that for that 0.19 Ethereum.
Now, when we had our mystery boxes and the last collection, those sold out within 10 days.
Yes, it was a little bit cheaper than the 0.19.
It was 0.15 Ethereum, but still 0.15 Ethereum in a market like this, 13 boxes.
You can imagine, you know, it's not an easy task, but it did sell out within 10 days.
We're hoping for big things for this collection as well.
And why I bring all this up is to say the utility for the V1s is that, you know, you got to be, by minting certain NFTs, you got to be a voice actor or actress in our animated cartoon series.
You got discounts off of merchandise, 33% to be exact.
And, last but not least, you got a free mint on the V2s.
Steadily, our floor is rising, and it's going for anywhere from 0.05 to 0.09 as of recently.
So shout out to the community for believing in us, new and old.
And big alpha for you guys, as I build up the suspension, suspense, for owning a Grim Gwil now and being loyal to the family.
We're going to times it by five.
So I put that up there.
I put up a little tweet where it says a little jiff of five, and then we'll have an official poster and stuff as we get closer.
But I just want to share it in the space.
If you own a Grim Gwil, you're able to get five mints per wallet.
So congratulations to all the holders of the Grim Gwils.
No, it wasn't part of the initial plan, but hell, fuck it.
Excuse my language.
Why not, right?
We did it before.
We'll do it again.
In the last collection, we gave away 10 free mints for Pinkies, the founder, his first collection that didn't sell out.
Because he had a PFP project.
He didn't have a big community backing.
It was sitting on the shelf.
And he decided, you know what?
I want to give it back to my Grim Gwil community.
So after we sold out, we rolled out that collection.
That one had more NFTs than the Grim Gwil collection, 380 to be exact.
And that free mint for holders sold out within two weeks.
And there was public sale for .01.
Some people did mint that for .01.
So that sold out within two weeks.
So we had two sold out collections within the same month of April.
And, yeah, now we're doing something like that again.
So at this time, beforehand, about maybe three weeks to a month beforehand, you guys know that you're going to get five free mints.
If you decide you want to put your Grim Gwil on the floor right now, go right ahead.
But especially that, you know, I just told you the floor was .09.
Get your money up, you know.
Save it up.
Get yourself a mystery box.
Mint from the 6,888 collection.
Why not?
I mean, this is probably, if not the best time, the best time.
But, again, there's no pressure.
Either way, this doesn't hurt me, doesn't help me.
It helps everybody, really, because we all look good up here.
We're minting our NFTs for .03, .05, and .07.
So if we can keep the steady growth to .09 or .1 and our V2s are .045, I can only imagine what the floor would be like for that.
So that's the big alpha I wanted to share with the space.
Five NFTs for owning a V1.
And then, last but not least, the merchandise with MarFDAO partnership.
I did pin up to the top my PFP with the link for the shop.
Excuse me.
I don't know why I put my PFP.
I should have put actual merchandise.
But you guys can tap on that.
It has a link to our website.
Merchandise.
If you happen to spend $150 before shipping, we will give you a free V2.
We will airdrop you.
It won't be a free mint.
We have to pay for gas.
Another big alpha for you guys.
We're tying in our merchandise promotion that we just partnered up with MarFDAO with our community beforehand.
So if you spend $150 or more before shipping, we will airdrop you a V2.
Again, you don't have to pay for gas.
Create a ticket.
Show us your receipt.
What have you.
And we're also going to give you a GG Elite Custom.
GG Elite Custom, for those of you that don't know, it is an animated version of yourself.
So we animate your face, a portrait of your face, and you can choose whatever trait you want in our collection.
If you decide you want to be a Pokemon body style, if you want to be a Spawn, if you want to be a Pink Ranger, whoever you want to be that's part of our collection traits, you choose it.
And we pretty much dox you on the Ethereum blockchain.
So two NFTs, way higher price value than I think the $150 for shipping.
But you're going to get physical items shipped to your house, and we're going to give you those two digital NFTs with all the utility that Chris mentioned earlier.
So that's what I got for you guys.
That's the alpha for tonight.
And, yeah, if you have any questions, let me know.
Awesome.
That seems like an awesome opportunity for your holders of the Grimgoyles.
And even if, you know, you guys want to go sweep one off the floor, and, you know, for those people that might be dropping them, you know, you might get a good deal that you can commit five new ones.
Oh, the floor is zero right now, actually.
There's nothing on the floor.
But maybe in a few hours, people will list them on the floor.
Yeah, I mean, that's what I'm saying.
If somebody wants to put something out there for sale, and you happen to be the benefactor of that, and you go out there and sweep it, and you instantly get the ability to commit five free NFTs, sounds pretty cool to me.
It means incentive to sweep the floor, you know.
And why gas is low, guys?
Take advantage of that, not only for the Grimgoyles, but for Nubis Project, for Eight Fathers, for the Good Dog Club, for all the projects that have come up here and talked about their projects tonight.
You know, on Ethereum, you know, take advantage of low gas.
They're on Polygon, and Solana, take advantage of low token costs.
And, you know, show support, and, you know, like posts, and get involved.
You know, Jay spends a lot of his time getting these things out there for you.
So, you know, at least you can do is like and tag and retweet something for him for doing all the work that he does, and for all the other founders that are here in the project, and all the other mods and people involved with things that are going on.
And I see Solana's dropped in the room, Tee Drillam, what's up, one of our co-founders.
Yeah, and we got a bunch of other people that have come in to hang out with us tonight.
Yeah, Sundaler, and we have Muzzif, and we have Christopher, and we have Nectra P, and Palomata is down there.
What's up, Palomata?
Yeah, I am on vacation.
I am, and it's kind of a workcation, and I am having a space because I scheduled it, and I keep my commitment.
So, we're out here in Las Vegas having the Las Vegas edition of Lost in Space.
I'm the lost one.
I'm one of the three co-founders with the Crafty Miners, myself, Norseless, who was co-hosting here for a long time, has dropped out of the room for a while.
Now, Tee Drillam is now in the space.
He is also one of the co-founders of the Crafty Miners, and yeah, we're hanging out.
We've had a really good productive space here.
It started off a little sketch because I was trying to check in to my accommodations, and the period of 15 minutes of walking outside and kind of looking at the outside mall that's around the hotel, I walked back in.
I don't know if a plane came in or a bus dropped people off, but there was suddenly nobody in line, and they don't let me check in until 15 minutes before 4 o'clock, to being about 100 people in line when I came back in the door.
So I thank everybody for hanging out and hanging through that, why I got the space and got my room and got that all set up.
It's been a wonderful evening of awesome projects, telling everybody about what they got going on.
You know, I'm trying to work on a Twitter picker.
For whatever reason, I cannot get it to load, so I am working on that giveaway if everybody else wants to start working on their giveaways.
I'm going to wrap space up.
It's about 9 o'clock on the East Coast.
I'm going to go over in Discord and run some rumbles.
So what I'm going to do, since I can't get Twitter picker to work, I'm going to scroll through people that posted on my post,
and I'm going to randomly close my eyes, and I'm going to scroll up and down and up and down with my eyes closed,
and wherever my finger lands, that person's going to get an NFT tonight.
Let's see, where are we going to stop?
Okay, so tonight, winner of our NFT giveaway for the OG tailoring ticket is the Good Dog Club LLC.
You guys get the NFT, whether you use it for yourself or use it for your community,
you have an OG tailoring ticket, which will get you a Pioneer Pal when we mint those,
and then you guys can use those in whatever way you want to, either through promotion or hold them.
You guys have one, so congratulations to you for winning that NFT and awesome coming in here and hanging out
through the three hours that we had the space going on, talking about all kinds of wonderful things.
We got a little sidetrack there talking about gardening and horticulture and that kind of thing,
but, you know, we can get sidetracked once in a while.
There are worse things to get sidetracked about.
Yeah, so let's see.
So if anybody else wants to pull their giveaway, I'm going to end space here in about five minutes.
And if you're having issues with Twitter Picker and you want to wait and see if that clears up,
you know, certainly just, you know, notify the thread once you give your giveaway, give it out.
Yeah, so it's been awesome, guys.
You know, it's fun to have spaces and, you know, I like having a smaller intimate space.
It's fun to get them huge, but it's also fun to have, you know, 30 really engaged, 20 to 30 really engaged people
listening and learning about what all these wonderful projects have going on
and how they're helping the communities that they're involved with, the 501c3s that they're involved with,
and what innovations or even just ideas they're bringing,
because your idea might be somebody else's innovation tomorrow.
And you never know what seed you're going to plant when you say,
you say, hey, have you ever thought about this?
And you throw some interesting caveat to something somebody's worked at or worked on.
Brainstorming works, and collective brainstorming is even more powerful.
So, let's see.
Florida, did you want to do your giveaway?
I don't know if Troy's still here with us.
Jay, did you want to try to get your giveaway done before space?
Yeah, I'll take a screenshot.
I'll hopefully throw it.
Okay.
Yeah, so I hope all of you have a wonderful evening this Thursday evening.
You know, and I hope, and thank you all for coming to hang out with space.
You know, Nubis Project, The Good Dog Club, Ape Fathers,
Jay Connects with the Grim Goyles,
maybe Chris Urzo with the Grim Goyles,
and all the wonderful people down there hanging out.
So, I see Selena's hanging out with us.
I hope she comes and talks to us about Monday sometime in the future
and tells us about her project we got going on.
They have a wonderful project going on over there.
Shout out to them.
But, I'm going to end space here,
and we're going to get over in Discord and rumble for some nuggets.
So, if you're not a member of the Crafty Miners Discord,
click on my PFP, go to Crafty Miners XYZ.
I will give everybody until 6.30 to join,
and then 6.30 PST, which is 9.30 EST,
in order to join our Discord.
And I'm just going to run Run Rumble tonight,
and that person's going to get 1,500 nuggets.
You heard it here in space, 1,500 nuggets.
Winner takes all.
Thank you, guys.
Have a wonderful time.
I'm being lost in space, episode 19.
Episode 20 will be in two weeks,
because I will be flying across country next week,
and there's no way to run space on either end of that.
So, I appreciate you guys.
As always, have a wonderful evening,
and we will see you on the flip side.
We'll see you on the flip side.
And then we'll see you on the flip side.
