Thank you. Hey, GM, Jim and everybody. Always good to be here with Rubis the Wise and the Stacks account.
If you just go ahead and do us a favor and retweet this space, put it in all your DM groups, everything.
Let's get an audience and we'll get started here shortly. Thank you. mic check can you hear me uh thumbs up if you can hear me hey gmgm jack sorry i was just uh
sharing out the stream and uh real businessus the Wise is here and present.
Pipe in hand, you know, the robot.
Gotcha, gotcha. All right, yeah, cool.
Let's go ahead and share the space, guys.
Let's get everyone in here. Let's talk about what's going on.
We got a lot of cool stuff happening in the ecosystem A lot of builders working and we really need to be ready for dGrants cohort 3
This is a super bullish time and yeah, so we'll get started here in a second. Just hang tight . Thank you. what do you think jack should we uh should we get going to think there's quite a few people in the
in the crowd now i think as we as we start hopefully more people join yeah man absolutely
funny thing as soon as this space started literally everything in my personal life just happened i'm getting calls and texts and everything that need my immediate attention so
yeah let's do it let's get started it's almost like they've sensed that you're now busy yeah it's
always how it goes yeah welcome to the uh stacks campfire space everyone um talking all things
stacks got quite an exciting one today um we've got quite a few guests lined
up but we've also got zenitron here from skull coin um whose nft mint has just gone live and of
course whatever we say today i'm just going to come with the precursor that it's nfa not financial
advice uh we're here to provide um some entertainment and some talking points and discussions but
financial advice so i will just caveat that to start off
with but yeah we've got a very exciting day um school coins mint here we've got xenotron the
the game master with us um i'll hand it straight off to you actually xenotron if that's okay since
it's a kind of a special edition today it's quite exciting so i'll kick it off to you and let us
know what's going on hi everyone sure so we Sure. So we developed these encrypted NFTs to make this new on-chain game.
It's a fair competition with huge social engagement.
And we have this, our gaming, Skullcoin Sigma chat, very active right now.
And we have 10 wallets.
So we just pre-funded these wallets.
There is 2,400 stacks, and anyone can grab
it, but you need to assemble the seed
phrase. And each
NFT contains one seed word.
Simple as that. So people
just mint randomly NFTs
and they need to team up
or mint more to find
the wallet they want to unlock
because there is 10 different
wallets. So the game
is pretty simple, know it's pretty
simple but it's new it's like you see the first time in your life the chess or a poker and we
just study learn uh how to play we just explain everyone and people like it but we need to upgrade
it so we want your feedback uh and it's very cheap it's affordable to everyone one nft
and it's not the gambling it's not the casino it's a fair uh collective collectibles game where
you need just to find the seed phrase the simple that and the game is ongoing right now yeah and
like everybody's playing it you know it started minting this morning um and
you know we we we were we were covered on our deorganize it was a lot of fun and just in the
dms right now like in the skull coin dm and the team's dms like everything's just it's super
active and so kudos for that for for several. And also I saw Benyana here.
So, okay, he's a speaker now.
But kudos for several reasons.
One, you know, your mission since I've known you has been to do things that are sustainable.
You know, you view a lot of things as zero sum in the crypto space.
And it's very easy, you know, because a lot of people, you know, just look at it and accept that as being the case and how it's it's very easy you know because a lot of people you know just
look at it and accept that as being the case and how it's supposed to be and um some of us don't
some of us really you know think there's there's better ways and cooler things to do and you've
always tried to find that cooler thing to do and so having like the inexpensive nft with the low barrier of entry the fun like this is this is what's up i think
that uh you know we've had several good mints in this this ecosystem where you know you take like
the stacks invaders mint that was very inexpensive very challenging it was kind of gamified because
of how stacks used to work back in the day um you had the uh the android mint when it you know when they like lowered the
price and made it like very low barrier of entry a lot of fun and even like the leo cats like you
know when when leo released that collection like it was like super you know i don't want to say
cheap because it's an awesome collection it's a very good collection but it was a low barrier of
entry in terms of price so i think that like all of these things are just really cool it's a very good collection, but it was a low barrier of entry in terms of price. So I think that all of these things are just really cool.
It's a very fun day.
And that's what I was telling them before to the space.
I was like, Rooz, we're competing with SkullCoin right now.
We're going to have to fight for attention from within the community for our space because everyone's so excited about this.
So hats off, dude.
It's really cool.
Yeah, definitely. this so hats off dude like it's it's really cool yeah definitely i actually just came to the computer about 15 minutes ago and all of my dms are now like oh i'm going to do for like number 17 or i
need this number and it's quite cool to watch actually unfold in uh in real time i've just
pinned the um the mint uh post up at the top which has got all the information of how to get involved
as well i'm actually looking at the site at the moment,
and I don't think I've got any stacks in this account, actually, to mint it,
but I'm going to do this as soon as I get off the space.
I said to Zenitron yesterday, I definitely always supported SkullCoin,
and, yeah, very good game.
Played the free version.
Obviously, everyone knows the kind of fine tool on Deorganize.
It's a regular
five day a week thing which everyone loves really high engagement and yeah it's the kind of thing
that you know really does it's a community that's created around it as well um so yeah definitely
hats off there speaking of which uh deorganize i see peace love music is now on the uh the stage
welcome gmgm what's up rubes what's up Jack uh yeah Zenni uh long time no C man uh Jack should we
I thought uh Alpha Team Alpha Squad uh membership was closed but maybe we should open up membership
for Rubes if he wants to join our treasure hunt. Yeah, definitely. Just don't tell
GPS he's still
Hey, Reabs. Hey, Roops.
Please, please, please, please
join the Alpha team. The Alpha team is
where the Alpha happens, and it's really
leaped. You should join us.
There is Jack. There is Peace.
There is Binta. There is Hana.
There is Wenyu. You see, this is a whole line now.
That's enough.
Yeah, let's go.
Don't tell GP, please.
As long as there's no weird initiations.
You come on the dude squad, bro.
We cooler than the Alpers.
It's the competing teams.
Yeah, it's like the founders.
There's this community. It's competing teams. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, it's like the founders, there's this community.
It's very funny.
Yeah, there's Team Alpha, and then there's Team Beta.
Team Dude.
Team Beta.
Yeah, and one team is a GPSC one-man clone with the pencil and paper.
So then the other thing, like, we've got some other cool things going on the ecosystem right now and you know obviously one of the coolest is um and
this came out of dgrants so what let's let's find out about this property x beniano tell us what you
you've got going on there for those who who don't know yet and need to know,
this is like one of those sleepers that's been, you know, under the radar.
Hello, hello, GM, GM.
Am I coming through okay?
Yeah, for me also, it's been like with Jack.
I joined the space, and then all these contract companies, dispatches, man, they keep calling me, hey, pick up my load, pick up my load.
But anyway, good to be here. Good to see all the cool stackers here. Zero, good to see you after a long time.
stackers here zero good to see you after a long time a Hana Tihana there our
brother roofs Jack he's Zenitron the legend it's all good good to see all
here keep doing what you guys doing but here let me talk a little bit about
property X property X is a opportunity it is a protocol that allows businesses to tokenize their future cash flow
and allows for anybody from across the world to participate and invest in real businesses, real assets, real cash generating businesses.
This is a, this product, this protocol, this project came out of necessity, I would say.
I've been around since the Stacks main net, and there's been lots of hype cycles, memes come and go,
protocols come and go, and all the gains and returns have been speculated
mostly whether you sold at the top or you get wrecked, right?
So there's no kind of reliable stable return in this space and we all know that, and how do we bring in the real value inject back on chain?
And the way I know how, our team know how is through businesses.
I've been in the hospitality industry for the last 10 years.
So after truck, we're also looking at tokenizing for hospitality industry down the line.
Also, I've been sharing about property, I mean, S&I Logistics.
It's a business already running, operational, making money.
The only thing that's remaining now is just
finishing our protocol development,
making it easy for users to log in,
express their intent,
and then invest and then start to get returns.
I'm here in the community.
I'll be joining more and more spaces.
We will have property access specific spaces
in your futures, but I'm here to answer any questions you guys might have or any feedback to help us build this successfully for the
community.
Yeah, amazing.
Thanks, Benaya.
One question.
So it's not actually live yet at the moment. I know the businesses are, but they're not actually live to invest in it. You can split up your token allocation and sell it in any arbitrary amounts.
You can stake it for returns and things like that.
So, yeah, it's almost there.
So this can be considered an announcement of an announcement so I think in two weeks about two weeks we should have everything lined up for S&I to like invest because we have one truck
now the goal is to like times two so two trucks right so people will be able to
look at the historical performance like for the past however long we've been
around and and decide whether it makes sense.
There will be a specific matrix like what kind of returns that particular investment will have
and over what period of time.
But those are things to be decided soon.
Yeah, amazing.
I do love myself an announcement of an announcement as well.
So I do like that um but
yeah looking forward to seeing that i know rwas and you know real world assets are definitely
becoming a you know the hot topic at the moment and i think that's something that we could we
could see more of on stack so yeah definitely hats off to you guys there um i'm gonna head
it over to and hand over the mic to zeke i'm just just going to say much love to everybody, but I got to drop off because I got to go produce Melanie's Bitcoin and Beyond show
in a few minutes.
She has, gosh, I forget who we have on today.
You guys will just have to tune in to come see it.
She scheduled that all herself.
It's a surprise.
It's a surprise to me.
I'll find out in a few minutes when they join the studio um but yeah much love i love this space is benign huge fan of what you're working on man
uh we had you on monday i love what you're doing um also think you're a tremendous actor in the
community i love what you're doing you know your participation in d grants and helping us sort out
some of these other things man so appreciate you zenn best of life I think we're about at a thousand of the 2400 nfts minted out
yet so guys you want to get over to skullcode.in and get your allotment you can only mint up to
50 of them it's one stx each um although we got the now we got the full alpha squad in effects with, with Rubes on team alpha. So you guys,
I've just, I've just minted actually. I've just minted.
So this is Regan.
All right. I'm just teasing everybody, but yeah, much love everybody.
Great stuff. Love these campfire spaces, Rubes, Jack, everybody.
You all have a blessed day we'll
see you later amazing thanks peace see you later yeah peace peace there from deorganized music uh
deorganized me not music maybe that could be a new branch it's in the word deorganized media
oh no i've hinted i've hinted no but seriously one of the one of the great projects in this
space definitely one of the the hot ones of last year
and continuing into this year is strength to strength.
I was before, actually, Peace went.
I was going to hand over the mic to Mr. Zero.
How are you doing?
I'm looking forward to this intro.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
What's up, what's up, what's up?
What's up, guys? Hey, GM, GM's up? What's up guys? Hey GM GM
The famous intro no one brings the energy
You know, honestly, I was gonna
Man, I found this great great mix-up of
Michael Saylor and it's this smash smash-up song
I can't play it
It's kind of early here. The kids are still sleeping
But man, I'm telling you guys when I come to the next campfire or the next one or we're just gonna
I'm just gonna have to be on Jack's next next live
I'm gonna play this song for you guys and you guys are just gonna be bobbing your head and then jumping at the
But GM GM thanks for the invite today, Rubes.
As you know, you, Jack, and I see legends today.
I see three, Hana, Tenderly, Benaya, Zenni.
Zenni, I just minted one of mine, too, on SkullCoin.
Dude, what a nice—you've been grinding for so long, man.
I respect the hell out of that.
I love people who just grind it out.
No days off.
Hashtag no sleep.
Hashtag no days off.
Hashtag no funding.
We don't care.
We just keep building.
I just love that about you, man.
And I just minted mine.
So I'm hoping that I want to play the game here later this evening.
So that's so cool to see all these protocols just happening.
The mix of where we are in stacks right now, where Rick just put out a really cool tweet,
and Jack had shared that in a group chat.
Thank you, brother, for sharing that.
But we have these tools now, like STX tools. We have Zero Authority. We have SkullCoin. We have
what Banaya is building with real world assets on chain and just the beginning of all this.
For many of you guys that don't know, Banaya helped us early in the journey of Zero Authority.
And I remember two years ago, he was like, man, we have to have agents on the platform.
And I was like, dude, I don't even know what the hell agents are.
And I don't even know how am I going to get these agents on the platform?
What will they even do?
You know, and then fast forward two years, I'm like, oh, man, this guy was so ahead of the curve that it's not even funny. And so just to look back at some of these early experiments,
one of the things too that I encourage everyone to do, and I see CryptoDue down there with
BoostX, we had just pushed out the API. So once people get boosted in the spaces, we can read that on the blockchain,
and then we can link it to your profiles on zero authority. So that's something that we're working
on. I know we're working on some stuff for dgrants as well. And if you guys don't know,
dgrants is now open. The applications are open dgrants.xyz. So if you want a grant to do something if you're a creator if you're a builder if you're a community
And and you're looking for a small seed fund to just get you up and running or if you already been doing something
And you want to get up and running go go check it out go put your application in we're looking for
People who need who want to be grantees we're also looking for people who want to be grantees. We're also looking for people who want to be stewards. So
if you've been in the community, you guys know a couple people and you want to shepherd and use
your skill sets, and there's 7,000 stacks pool for the stewards. And so there's going to be a
payoff there. So things are happening. A lot of the conversations, Jack and Dave STX were the first ones to tell me about this agent hustle. I think it's just been fascinating where all of this is going.
here as well, like where we're all thinking about what's the next step and what does the
next iteration and what does the next evolution look like as as we get towards the end of
this year's bull run has been it's been it's been really interesting.
You can almost you can almost argue that institutions have adopted Bitcoin at a faster rate than
what we were originally thinking, which has been
phenomenal. And then on the retail side, just like the average user, I was just telling someone
the other day I was on a space and I was saying, if you just go walk around the street, go walk
around the grocery store and you start asking 10 random people, do you know what Bitcoin is and do
you have it? You'll find out how early we still
are to this thing. Maybe they know about Bitcoin, but almost nine times out of 10, they're not
holding any Bitcoin at all. So this is still our opportunity for this entire ecosystem to keep
leveling up, to keep doing more, to keep supporting each other. And I know a lot of these protocols in
Web3 land and Stax land and Bitcoin L2 land and ETH and Solana, they're really hard to use today,
but it's getting easier. And I always encourage people, use the protocols that are here now,
because that's the early alpha. That's how you're going to learn, but that's also how you support
the builders that are here and that grind every single day so thanks thanks for having me up rubes this is phenomenal and
something that i think has been absolutely so cool to see i had put out a tweet yesterday
uh people are using zero authority to create their brand guides. They're creating new logos. So we just saw the
STX AI guild. So the AI guild has been just this magical group of people who want to learn
and contribute and come together. Were you going to say something, Jack?
No, no. I wanted to kick it back to you and get some feedback because you're sitting here
dropping knowledge, right? Like you're just, you're really like adding a lot for people to think about.
And so for instance, let's go back to D-Grants here for a second and how like you can see things happen at a community level before.
level before. I mean, that's the story of Bitcoin, right? Like the community saw the value of Bitcoin
I mean, that's the story of Bitcoin, right?
before JP Morgan and BlackRock and everything else found the value of Bitcoin, right? So you
scale that. This is how this works. So the community can find value in things before
bigger players can. And that's one of the real advantages that a program like dGrants brings
to the Stacks community in that and to the entire ecosystem is that
we can support and nurture these ideas and concepts that will bring new use cases, new
things, more value that hadn't been thought of before.
So again, just to reiterate, look at this, pay attention.
Like there's some big metas out there that are all kind of converging, but there's always
something new. There's always going to be something new that you can you can build and take advantage of the fact that in this community, we have a lot of experience.
community based on like, you know, the people you share this space with, um, you have a lot of
really brilliant, really kind, empathetic, caring, legit people here. It's very high caliber
community and it's really, you know, and so take advantage of that. You know, if you have an idea,
if you have something like look into D grants, pay and and let's you know like the way
i see d grants honestly and i want to talk to you about this anyway um by the way we're gonna have
a stacks ai guild space on tuesday um kind of like because there's some some ideas worth forming
around that but um so check check my posts and and go show. You know, there's like, you know, with D-Grants, I think there's like a track for, you know, like a pre-accelerator incubator for certain projects. that can bring so many different values and layers of value to Stacks,
that it actually, they act as magnets to bring other projects and teams into the ecosystem.
You know, and so I just wanted to get like some feedback from you,
because you are homegrown, zero authority DAO, like homegrown ahead of the curve.
Like you guys have been at this for the longest
so um i just want to get a little feedback on that real quick before we go to crypto dude who
i've thrown a toss the mic to he's he's building something epic right now but yeah crypto dude uh
just made us um epic uh we call we call her nova so Nova AI on the Zero Authority platform. We kind of have this logo
that we've been playing with. I might have to put out a bounty to get some more logos, but
he just made us a clean AR-15. We have the logo and we have Zero Authority on the AR-15. I just love it. But Jack, you're hitting on so many points there. And if I unpack
just two things here, and I know I won't be long-winded, but one of the things I wanted to
say is when we started Zero Authority, we were, I literally call it started from the bottom. Now we're here. Started from the bottom.
Now my whole team here.
So literally we, we started with nothing, uh, back, back when I, I came in around the
second ICO that was, that was around, uh, 2019.
So the, the whole boom and bust had happened in 2018 stacks Stacks was one of the best places with documentation.
Everything in crypto was just either it was like on a Google Doc or there was like a random wiki page somewhere that a blog had written about.
But Stacks was so well organized.
It was always a group of people who were like really smart, who kind of had a direction and
know what they wanted to do and build on Bitcoin, right? And then you fast forward into 2021,
where we had the whole NFT craze. And then you fast forward into 25, where now you kind of have
Wall Street, and you have a lot of crypto front running a lot of this. And so I think the main takeaway is that I see right now is,
I know a lot of us get frustrated in the Stacks ecosystem. And we say, well, man,
this is going slow, and this is taking time. But you got to remember, Bitcoin is what,
it's about 15 years old. So all of this is really new when you compare it to just the TradFi world and the legacy world,
right? When you start comparing assets across the globe, you have stocks, you have bonds,
you have real estate. These things have been around hundreds of years. And then you have
Bitcoin that's been here, a blip on the radar. Then you even start to get into that bubble and
you have Ethereum that was started almost 10 years
ago now and and then you have the other players like a stacks or the bitcoin l2s the bitcoin l2
narrative is only taking shape this year there's been players like us and a couple a handful of
others like rootstock but really it's just been this year that it's fully taken off. So you got to
really think like these things take time to play out. The other thing too, when we started Zero
Authority, there wasn't like media coverage. There weren't people like a deorganized who wanted to
come in and cover topics. There weren't people who wanted to build like the DeFi primitive.
I mean, we had the Arcadeco, then we had Alex,
but Bitflow wasn't there, right?
So just seeing people come in, set up
and start building tools,
building different applications to support the growth,
it's happening.
And so it's really fascinating to see
that this community, I really think about it.
I know Michael Saylor kind of tells this analogy
as coming to New York, New York City in 1900, right? It was just the shores and the banks,
and there was nothing else. And then people started building. And then you get all these
skyscrapers, and you fast forward to today, and it's just Wall Street is the wealth mecca of the
global universe, right? And that's what Bitcoin is.
And that's what we're all trying to do here and building on top of that New York City,
that early New York City, right, which is Bitcoin.
The last thing I'll say is I love that people show up to these spaces.
I love that people support the community.
But one of the biggest wins, I think, in the D-Grant space is that they started to put some more funds into this pie.
So when we did cohort one and two, and I remember these very early experiments, right?
It started with $25K.
And Hero Gamer had this budget.
And him and I started working together and then he
started to to get a lot of people around us and then that's when we had the um uh uh hattie come
in and mel came in and then a lot of people helped and and i don't even remember all the names who
had helped in those early cohorts but then two came along and they said, okay, let's put 50K because the community, supporting the community and organizing
around these concepts is showing a tremendous value. Then from there, now we have 100K in the
pot. So not only is it proof that community-led initiatives can be the growth engine of the
chain, but it's also further proof that when you do a grant and you put in your application,
you may not get it.
And I know that sucks, but it's a part of the reality.
But if you do get it, and whether you get it or you don't get it, you tend to stick around because you have to come to the spaces.
You have to meet people.
So all of these touch points along the way, and I think the foundation is realizing, well, we can't be everything to everyone.
So let's let the community leaders lead, and let's support them with the money.
So I'm super stoked to see all that happen uh the the
one really big thing too that i've been seeing on on zero authority creators are the growth engine
of this new economy this attention economy social fi info economy people are coming to platforms, whether it be Cookie, whether it be STX Tools, whether it be Zero Authority or SkullCoin, or they're just trying to learn.
And I know Rising Tide was building some stuff too.
And then BoostX has continued to be like a growth area where people learn more about stacks and get involved, right?
growth area where people learn more about stacks and get involved, right? These applications are
starting to converge and they're going to start talking to each other. And so that's the ecosystem
we want to build together. And that's what we want to bring. So it just starts bridging.
Okay. I talked a lot. So thank you. Oh, a hundred percent, man. And like,
I sent a mic to crypto dude, but, um you know these spaces can be buggy sometimes
uh rubis and i can uh attest to this i uh and and you did bring up a great point um
your network means everything in this space especially if you want to if you're one of
these people if you're like me and you're like, hey, I want to do more. I really enjoy crypto.
I really enjoy Bitcoin.
I want to do more.
So use these opportunities to build and grow your network.
And 100% spot on about the creator economy that's being formed.
This is something that you and I and people in this space have been discussing for years
now in the Stacks ecosystem.
And we've been able to even get ahead of that narrative.
But yeah, you can't really do this unless you live it.
It's that simple.
And now people are realizing,
oh man, there's a real big premium attached to that.
So you want to get started as soon as possible
because you're not gonna be early forever.
Rubes, let's see man what
do you think about that you got anything to add right there i mean just just spitting pure facts
um one thing i will touch on actually back to kind of uh zero authority dow rather than like
kind of the wider picture but zero authority dow we've been using it for for leo bounties now we
well we've used it since the first version,
but since the V2 has come out,
we've been supporting it over the last couple of months with bounties.
And honestly, this is not like a, you know,
I'm friends with Xero and I'm just doing them a favor here.
Like, honestly, the engagement is off the charts.
If you're in Stax and you've got a project and you're not using Xero Authority DAO for your bounties
and to gain engagement,
you are like just completely missing out. Every single bounty, we do them on a Friday,
we call it feline Fridays for Leo, you know, a bit of a fun play there. And we've been
launching like one or two bounties per week on a Friday. And every single time it comes
through the submission, no joke, it takes me like maybe an hour plus to go through the
submissions because we're getting like close to 100 people applying per bounty so if i'm putting out two bounties there might be like 200
submissions seriously like the amount of content that gets put out on that is incredible and people
love it people absolutely love it so yeah definitely want to give a shout out to you guys
there um i was actually totaling up the amount that came that we've actually given up in Leo to the bounties for V2, and I think it was 12.5 million.
And I actually said to Zero yesterday, we're going to send another 20, which I sent over yesterday, which is 20 million Leo, which I think is about $2,500 at the moment.
But seriously, it is worth every single penny.
It's not like a handout.
This is like, this is pure alpha.
The engagement is off the charts.
So yeah, definitely go check it out.
If you're a creator, apply to the bounties
because there is real cash being given out here for your content.
And if you're a project owner, get involved
because it really is pretty spot on engagement.
I wanted to thank you for the shout out.
And for everyone in the audience,
I did not slip Rube's
to shout me out.
going to tell everyone to go
participate in
the Feline Fridays and
what Rue and Welsh
POS, STX AI, the AI Guild,
and I see Shark as well participating.
One of the stats that I've been tracking,
and I don't even know how to represent this,
the community coins and meme coins that start using bounties
and engaging their audience through zero authority,
we've seen the price of the token 20 and 30X. And I'm just amazed that previously we'd have,
and we were in the same boat, right? With zero authority, we would pay some people who could
be an ambassador and maybe they put up some content, maybe they don't, but then we still have to do some payouts. But then why not use the system where this is all handled
by no middlemen, no gatekeepers, the money's there in the contract. You don't have to trust me, bro.
This is all for us to participate. I even participate in bounties too, because one, we all get to learn by using these new AI tools.
And two, the content that I've seen coming out from the start of V2 back in May to where we are in August.
Dude, I'm just blown away by these videos, the animation.
And as people are learning, they're having fun, they're getting rewarded,
and then they build reputation on their profile. And now that we have the APIs,
we're talking to a lot of people who want to use reputation in their applications.
They want to do bounties in their applications and link it all through on-chain. So it's just incredible that people love this,
and they're also getting the value from it.
So I just love that people find this something that is fun and rewarding.
Oh, it works.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Sorry, Jack, just quickly.
I pinned a post for Leo,
and this shows kind of the range that you can do with a bounty.
And I did one where it was buying Leo in the wild, I called it, Leo in the wild.
And it was people buying Leo using their X-Versa leather wallets actually out IRL.
So we had people do it.
If you go to the thread, I've actually posted all of the 10 winners.
We had people from a nightclub, a church, a snooker hall, a barbershop, a gas station, a football pitch, and on a Ferris wheel.
And people videoed it all actually buying it using their X-Versal leather wallet.
So, you know, get creative and do some stuff on there.
That's the best, you know, kind of shout out I can do for Zero Authority down there.
And, you know, I do expect a 20 stack.
Just coming to think about it. No, it's, you know, I do expect a 20 stack. Just coming to think about it.
No, it's, look, there's been no stacks change hands.
Like I can attest to the truthfulness
of everything that's been said here.
It's an amazing value.
It's the best way to generate attention,
probably organically that I've ever seen.
And like other ecosystems that aren't on our level
with protocols like that,
they'd kill to have something like that there.
That's just the name of the game.
Like it's very, very helpful for young projects.
And again, we're talking about attracting people
into stacks from things that are generated by the community.
And this is the perfect example.
If you're a team and you want to build something and you're looking at your budget
and you're looking at your marketing budget,
and then you realize you can come here and be like,
oh man, we could actually save quite a bit of money just by going here.
There's something there that people just haven't realized yet and speaking
of that uh crypto dude is building something epic i can't really do it justice i'm very excited about
it i think this is another one of those things that's massive onboarding potential for the entire
ecosystem and i and and i'm just talking about boostex by the way i'm not even talking i'm talking
about not even what he's actually bringing next um so crypto dude why don't you uh fill us in on what we got going on
here man hey hey what's up how's it going everybody doing good man good to hear from you
doing good man good to hear from you so hey hey what up earlier i know that i was requested i
trying to also play the skull king a skull coin game too so uh yeah we're we're cooking on on uh
a bunch of different things we've been been upgrading BoostX for space drops.
So space drops will have conditions soon.
So senders will be able to check the recipients
to see if they meet certain conditions,
like if they have certain holdings,
whether it's fungible token or non-fungible token,
or whether or not they've had recent contract activity,
maybe calling a specific smart contract function.
And also we're adding, you know, lists so people can save lists and load lists that are not necessarily the people that are in the space.
So it can serve as an invite mechanism. So that's all coming real soon.
So that's all coming real soon.
We've also got our game, Cryptonauts, we've been cooking on,
which we're pretty excited about.
We have a lot of interesting features in there.
But, you know, we've got UE5 basically connected,
or Unreal Engine 5 connected to Stax Wallet.
And, you know, there's lots of potential unlocks there, but we're basically providing
a working proof of concept example, multiplayer, third person shooter game with integrations of
stacks, obviously, but we're also going to be providing documentation. That was a kind of a
thing that we wish we had a while ago ourselves, but you know, we hammered it together.
We've got the authentication flowing, working. We can, you know, view NFTs in the game.
We can, you know, use NFTs for gated access to teleporters and doors and, you know, we can use them for skins and all sorts of stuff.
So we're really excited about what's coming there.
I'll just leave it at that.
I don't want to talk too long.
I'm kind of rambling here,
but I guess give us a follow if you're interested.
Join our Discord if you're interested.
Yeah, and here's the thing.
Not only are we talking about bringing gaming
to the ecosystem in a big way,
but through BoostX, bringing gaming to to the ecosystem in a big way but um you know through boost x which is how most
most of us here really got to know crypto dude and what he's been building you know we've been able
to make payments on x just by using bns which is another you know awesome community um you know
well bns is more than just a community,
but it's kind of run by the community.
So again, like there's so much going on in this ecosystem
and so much of it at the community level
that if you have just an idea, all you need is an idea.
If you have an idea and you want to get started,
start looking into D-Grants now.
This is going to be a great cohort and there's going to be a lot of alpha come out of this, 100%.
I think the best thing about D-Grants for me as well is just like the absolutely ridiculous
retention rate of people. Even if they didn't get like the or whatever, or the grants weren't a super large amount,
but the actual retention rate and the stickiness
of the kind of D-grants was actually just incredible.
So many people still around from years,
which is obviously good to see.
I actually did have a few people,
I put out a post last week asking people to come up
and speak at the end of the space.
We've got about 15 minutes left.
I'm trying to see, just scroll down the space.
There's quite a few people in here.
Let me see if there was anyone that expressed interest in talking about what they were building.
I think there is a couple.
If you do want to come up and, you know, you're building something on Stax,
if you do want to come up, please request a mic.
Me and Jack will get you up.
You can kind of talk through what you're building as well. But but we've had a we've had some good fun as any are
you still around yeah i'm here and i'm just uh how's the mint going yeah that's great uh more
than 1 000 nfts already uh so i ask everyone to test just you can just win to mint one nft it's a cheap affordable to everyone one stacks
and what we need we need your feedback because we want to make the best iteration of this concept
and maybe we can make like you know two seed words in one nft to make it uh possible to gather just
the 12 nfts and open the blockchain wallet.
And I want to say we have no winners yet.
10 wallets with prizes.
Prizes was pre-funded.
2400 stocks still in prizes and wallets waiting for any player or team to unlock this wallet
and make a transfer also five uh leo nfts thanks for oops and two
stacks invaders thanks for jack bin switch are waiting for the winners
amazing that was going to be my question actually if anyone had had won so we've got around about
half of the men and still no winners yeah because, because, you know, like 24 words. So you need to match, like, assemble 24 different NFTs.
And it's about, you know, like luck and social engagement.
Yeah, amazing.
I mean, I see the activity in the groups is obviously crazy.
I see BlockSheet is requested to come up.
I know it's CodeSader, I believe, behind the account.
So welcome. Tell us what you're building.
Hi, thanks for the opportunity to be here. Hi, everyone. Can you hear me?
Yeah, loud and clear.
Yeah, thanks for the opportunity. Roobs, Jack, C, Zero, Authority, Tindaloy, Three-Owner, Alexanit, Thron. So, a quick background on myself.
So, I joined Starks in 2021.
So, it was Ross Lodrosa that introduced me to Starks.
And since then, I've been here some time,
with the Welsh community,
still with the Welsh community, honestly.
And yeah, I'm also a moderator for Leo as well.
So, but basically what I'm building with blockchain is quite simple.
So the idea is to be able to cut through blockchain noise
by showing the users only what matters, which is their wallet
cash flow, just like a bank statement. So how did I come up with this idea? So I think sometimes
around 2024, I ran into this issue where I was, you know, finding it difficult to put together a
simple blockchain statement. So what I needed was quite straightforward.
I wanted to track all the STX I had sent to specific wallets,
but that simple task kind of turned out to be a hassle.
So, you know, there were many transactions to see through NFTs,
deployments, staking and everything.
So it was just so messy and unstructured.
So I'm time consuming to be honest with you.
So I felt, what if there is a hub that could
bridge this gap that could make things easy.
Just at a glance, once you impute your wallet,
you are able to track everything.
Like just focuses on your wallet cash flow without,
it cuts away all this
noise of your nft deployment and everything you are just able to see oh this is what is coming out
and this is what is going in that was the primary idea behind block shit so i took the leap and i and I made it. And ever since then, it's been a difficult, right? You know, sometimes I get,
I do, I would say the acceptance has not been something I had expected because I thought,
oh, I'm actually solving a problem. So I guess I should have done more validation to know what's
going on. But basically what Blocksheet does, it just makes things easier for you in case,
during your tax season,
if you want to track how much you spent for a year.
So instead of you having to manually do all of that,
blockchain helps you visualize all of your data
in a single form.
You are able to see everything you spent for that year
because that's basically what I do.
I accumulate, aggregate all of your transactions
for the past year.
So you are able to see everything just at a glance.
You see the incoming, the outgoing,
you're able to print the statements.
And at the same time,
in case if there is any transaction going on in your wallet,
you get a real time update,
you know, email notifications and
all of that.
And yeah, so that's basically what I've been doing so far.
I get traffic, but in terms of the conversion, in terms of users signing up, the paid version,
things are still a little rocky but i know it's time with uh more happiness with more publicity
uh people will get to know what blockchain is about basically if you haven't tried it all i'm
just saying is just give it a try it's it's an awesome hub i can i'm not only focusing on uh
stacks alone i'm also focusing on solana ethereum BTC. So all you have to do is just
sign up, check it out. You don't have to keep wondering about how each explorer works. So
basically, apart from it makes things easy for people that are already in Web3, for newcomers,
one of the problems I realized a lot of people have which i had back when i was
dealing when i was in solana ecosystem back in 2018 yeah hold on we got a we got one more guy
to come to real quick um because we're running out of time uh but let's let's do this again and also
make sure you're coming to the dgr grant spaces because this is a perfect example of like, we need to be networked, right?
Like, cause you're building something really cool and you need to find the person that can help you explain it and, and, and put that punch in it so that people can, can get it.
So like we need the network and we need the team making, we need you to come to this D-Grant cohort and come see what we got. Paper to Screen, man, you've been I was in the movie industry several years ago.
And so that's the background of my project.
I'm in Stacks Ascent at the moment.
I'm working towards going to the next level.
That's level three.
And my project came out of the pain in the movie industry where I used to work.
And simply it's just a decentralized crowdfunding platform
built on Stax blockchain designed to serve independent filmmakers who lack access to
traditional film production budgets and they require alternative financing sources. Basically
that's just what it's all about and currently I'm building it solely at the moment.
I crossed over from the film industry with no background in coding.
And I decided to try my hands to solve a financing model that be devils the entire film industry, if I must say globally.
And so that's basically what the idea is all about.
That is a cool crossover.
How did you go from film to blockchain?
That's really neat.
So I used to be, I have a small gift.
I could call it inherent.
I'm an autodidactic person
that I can literally study anything.
I don't know how I came across that
gift, but I just noticed that I could pick any topic and just read and just find my way. Like
it's, I don't know how I do it. So that's what happened to me. I just noticed that I crossed,
I used to be in the music industry, try to play jazz piano from guitar, then, you know,
crossed into film. I just found I was able to pick, I was cross domain knowledge. You know, from guitar, then, you know, crossed into film. I just found I was able to pick, I was cross domain knowledge.
You know, I picked here, picked there, went into content creation,
picked here and picked there.
So along the line, while doing content creation,
I began to, you know, want to write tech content, you know,
technical stuff like that.
And then I laid my hands on Python, tried to do something with it,
laid my hands on JavaScript, tried to do, but I just did not like the language.
Those languages, nothing bad with them, but I don't know,
until somehow I stumbled on Solidity about a year and six months ago.
And I wanted to try my hands on solidity.
I got the course.
This guy, Patrick Collins, if you know him, in solidity. And as I was going deep in solidity, I found out that somewhere along the line,
I realized that I was in an ecosystem that was already matured, saturated.
And I wouldn't get... I was listening to Rubes,
listening to Xero talking. The community in Staxx is amazing. And so I realized that I didn't have
communal support in Solidity. It was going to take some time for me in Ethereum to find my way.
So I began to ask questions in there somewhere else. And then suddenly I just remember, I was like, wait, Ethereum isn't the only blockchain.
There is Bitcoin, which is actually the blockchain itself.
I'm like, what's happening with Bitcoin?
Ain't no smart contract for it.
And I began to research a year ago.
And then I stumbled on Clarity and I checked it out and I began to study with the same gift i just tried to study
the language myself and then i found it was amazing the syntaxes everything just made sense
and eventually after going through all those free courses with clarity language book i stumbled on
setzuz sometime in december last year and I was able to purchase his course and well,
the rest is history now. Well, I'll tell you what, man, I don't know anything about auto
dictat, but I do know about unmedicated ADHD. So it could be that, but kudos to you, man. It's good
to have you here. And what you need to do again, just just get involved. Come check out the D-Grants cohort, man.
Because, yeah, like this is a great time to get onboarded, find your people, and work through your ideas, and have the chance to build what you want to build.
What do you think, Roops?
Sure, sure.
Yeah, that sounds super cool.
That sounds super cool.
So you're already in the Stacks Ascent as well,
so you're in the right place there.
Sounds like things are progressing.
But yeah, it's the first I've actually heard of this.
So yeah, super cool to have you come up and explain that.
Also, thanks to CodeSader from BlockSheet.
Also sounds like a simple tool,
but sometimes the best things are simple.
Just need to get involved, sign up to the dgrants,
get the community support, because it is good around get involved, you know, sign up to the D-Grants, get the community support because it is good RAM stacks,
as everyone always attests to.
And, yeah, definitely in the right place, guys.
So, yeah, congrats on building and keep going.
That's what I'm going to add to that, really.
Well, I think we're pretty much at the end of the hour now, Jack.
I don't know if there's anyone else that is currently pending.
We got one request right here. We got a couple minutes. We go ahead and take it and then we'll just call it a day, what you say?
Yeah, absolutely. I actually can't see if it works.
Yeah, absolutely. I actually can't see a request.
Let me see if it works.
Hey, what's up, guys?
Hey, GM, GM.
Hey, how's it going?
Man, I just wanted to throw a quick topic out here.
I saw that the government, the United States government is going to be putting GDP data and other things on chain.
And I kind of wanted to just poke and prod and say, like, how is Stacks not in that conversation?
Smart contracts, data storage on the chain with Bitcoin security and finality.
How do we how do we get in that combo and how do we, you know, get our footing in the door there?
That's a good question.
You know, politics is going to be politics,
even if the blockchain's involved, but you're right.
Like, you know, Stacks being like OG, SEC, you know,
just guidelines, like literally the only project
that ever tried to just go and do things the right way from day one and did the right thing from day one.
How are they not in that conversation?
That's good.
I think we're going to kick that one down to someone like Alex.
See what he can find out about us.
I know he's made a trip or two to D.C. over the years.
But yeah, great.
Thanks for coming up, man.
And by all means, anytime you're on a stack space, just get involved, say something, find your voice, you know um please come on and join that uh that that's a huge unlock
for us all here go check out the skull coin game go check out zero authority dow um go check out
boostx you know look at these chads and this audience you know we've got stx ai i got defy
dictator got cynical jeffrey target rick cotter like we've got just we've got STXAI, we've got DeFi Dictator, we've got Cynical Jeffrey, Target, Rick Cotter.
We've got a great community here, we've got a lot of OGs here.
And just finally, I'm going to put a point on what Paper to Screen said.
He went to Solidity in the Ethereum world and was like, I'm not going to find the support I need here.
It's saturated.
And then he came to Stacks and he you're, you can still find that here.
So use that to your advantage while you can. And that's all I got to say,
Roops, how about you? You want to close this out?
Yeah, absolutely. Um, great space today. He had some good, um, good things.
Also some new products as well, which is interesting.
Always good to hear about, uh, what people are building on the space thanks to all our guests we had zero
xenotron piece of music before he went off crypto do benaiah three honor we had tinderly we had
block sheet we had paper to screen we had life who threw up a great question but just i was coming to
close in time it's it required a bit more thought that question so definitely one for another space
i think that was pretty much everyone that mentioned time. It required a bit more thought, that question. So definitely one for another space.
I think that was pretty much everyone that mentioned.
There might have been a couple more if I missed,
but please don't be offended.
Yes, stay in touch, guys.
Follow the Stacks handle.
Watch out for the next E-Grants cohort.
And one last thing.
We're going to drop some Feline Fridays tomorrow. So check that out for the bounty drop.
Tune in, guys.
There's going to be a lot of Leo going up there.
Also, with the Stax AI Guild, I'm actually speaking to 300 today.
I'm going to donate 10 million Leo to the Stax AI Guild.
I will leave that up to them, how they use it.
But exciting times, and definitely they need to be armed with some more funds.
And, yeah, thanks for everyone to join in.
I think we're kind of at the end of the space.
Thanks for everyone who listened.
