The key to forecasting a project's growth is assessing its ability to earn and retain attention.
Most traders, collectors, and founders don't understand the forces that attract attention, and why it drives growth.
🧵 on attention: the scarcest resource in the NFT ecosystem.
yo you can build "your own business" in
@PirateNation
by crafting settlement buildings like the Shipwright.
Once you build a Shipwright, you can charge other players who wanna use it to upgrade their ships.

Heads up gamers: our programmatic WL will END IN 12 HOURS FROM NOW.

Then we'll close the WL and reveal our methodology.

I hope these cabal-filled private sales & pre sale rounds, which sell out their entire collection to insiders, don’t become a thing in 2024.

And if you guys thought the adjutant programmatic WL was cool, wait till you see the next thing :)
We just snapshotted a bunch of top tier or otherwise meaningful gaming, pixel, or culturally relevant collections & communities.
If you hold any of these in your wallet, you can now mint
@GLHFers
. We look forward to meeting you. 🫡
Someone asked me if the last 150 tokens are "going for sale on another chain" or "will it be a gas war".
Both no. Those things have been done. Not interesting.
As with our programmatic WL, we like trying new things. New things are gud.

Yesterday

players processed 650,000+ transactions in the game.
They signed 0 tx popups and paid $0 in gas.
For context 650,000 transactions per day is more than

The Adjutant bot will run in our server for another day or two before we close applications & lock down the WL. ⌛
Meanwhile, perhaps we should do some WL spots for outstanding content creation?
snapshot chaos: short and unpredictable mint windows for the cc0, pixel, art, or otherwise meaningful projects in the space. a free mint for those paying attention, for those worthy of becoming 1337. 🫡
With the adjutant WL bot we changed the way mints open. With this next thing we'll change the way mints end.
Be prepared for something totally different. GLHF
The
@PirateNation
team has shipped 69 weekly updates (yes actually 69, this is not a troll), our roadmap is public, we're building a fun & frictionless FULLY onchain game as well as infrastructure to power onchain games.
TLDR: you're gonna want them BOOTY points.
at some point u realise, most projects are sweaty try hard middle of the bellcurve fastfood jpegs shat out to satiate the ecosystem's unequenchable thirst for "the next blue chip".
All that matters: art, technology, and culture. People buying
@1337skulls
understand this.
Wait till they realize that
@PirateNation
is a fully onchain game comprised of 300+ smart contracts (ALL game logic is fully onchain) that's been live for 16mo, with weekly updates, a die-hard community, and a team working to build the most fun & accessible game there is.
One more: oldschool counterstrike players will remember the BOOM HEADSHOT guy. Had to include his bedroom as a background, I don't make the rules.

runs on 300+ smart contracts. Think of it as a protocol.

How to get BOOTY Points?
atm there are 3 ways: (1) Collect: Founder's Pirates (our 10k genesis NFT collection)
@danrobinson
So you’re telling us pacman is a renegade maverick rogue who moves fast & break things and doesn’t seek the approval of others? Damn, sounds like a founder. Kinda love it.
It took us 400+ days to get our first 10 million in game transactions.
It's taken us 50 days to get our latest 10 million in game transactions.
Watch us these next few weeks. It’s never been a better time to be a Pirate. 😉

The collection contains 400+ traits (unique traits - not recolors!) of pure pixel gaming nostalgia. It has been enriched with inspiration & lore from gaming history that both hardcore pwners and casual gamers can enjoy.
I've found myself browsing the collection for hrs already.
As a reminder in about ~2hrs from now we're going to open Stage 2 of the mint.
We are currently snapshotting known gaming collections and their holders will be able to mint

5. Yet we've done zero paid acquisiton to date.
