The Settlements are here
@the_settlements
A turn-based on-chain NFT game where you can create your own civilisation. Rarity is changeable and not derived, every token minted is seeded with pseduo random behaviour.

@ourZORA
I'm going to try to design & build a lean curator house in a weekend. Will do my best to pretend I've never seen the codebase & use entirely open source resources
I'm trying to go to bed before 3am for the first time this week but the

2ish hours ago I cracked it at AWS & needed a brain break. Inspired by $LOOT &
@Uniswap
I decided to learn just enough solidity to make a generative & entirely onchain NFT.
I present Cookedies - Cooked Fortune Cookies.

one of my favourite things about the sparkly new search box on

is the ability to discover content related to your query.
a cool example is I searched for calculator and it found this post from

a week later I wanted to see how the

so you want to make on chain checks anon???
๐งตa thread on how i built + and how you could make your own onchain edition with a couple lines of custom solidity.

really changing the landscape for new developers getting into crypto
When my non tech / crypto friends asked me why we open sourced everything I showed them the things people were building on

Given the tools people will come up with ideas and platforms weโd never have dreamed up by ourselves.
i would like to make it publicly know that i am willing to trade me cooking you a steak dinner of your choice for a protocol engineer
i have attached some of cuts available on the menu & can supply references from previous diners on request
this work is an important piece of my history & marks the beginning of my creative genius. thanks to

canvas tool I'm excited to get to share it all with you too
Every time I use
@Railway_App
it feels like magic.
I went from no api to having an api with a db connection in a deployed environment in like 2 minutes. I can't name a single other cloud product I've used with that ease of going from 0 - 1
this was a fun project & I have plenty of expansion pack ideas, armies, trade routes & future sub civilisations.
The goal was to push the idea of the headless NFTs & how we can build composable games using decentralised records & interesting mechanics
i always tell people i very rarely see the crazy bugs people associate with australia
but every so often i find one of these outside the front door and rethink that statement
There are 5 realms: Genesis, Valhalla, Keskella, Shadow, Plains, Ends.
You take the chance on every random call that you end up in the civilisation you want to be or worse off then you were before.
Part 2 of If you can read this we'd like a word.
Bonus points if you can work out why Jeff Bezos computers will say this code is bad.
Come help us build a permissionless and open future for every kind of creator & community
I have a bunch of future plans for things like more wider distro civilisations (I wrote the code but ran out of contract space) fees on randomisation distributed to token holders of originals & expansion packs
IMPORTANT: Remember that realms are entirely accessible to everyone, everyone starts at genesis & can choose to venture further! The rarity of realm is decided by you the token holder!!
The further you tread the more risk you post to your civilisation as you can never go back!
my gf just said "can i ask you a question" and i had the "yes id love you if you were a worm" locked & loaded and she had the audacity to ask me who would win in a fight between 1 billion lion cubs or every Pokemon combined
What's cool now is that when the press talks about doge selling for 4 million it actually means the creator and curator got 4 million.
Open & permissionless has always been the goal and seeing creators & curators see the benefit of that makes me so unbelievably happy
Traits are assigned at mint but can be randomised! Every player has 5 turns to randomise their traits and be assigned a new civilisation!
However, be careful every turn changes the realm you belong to.
Thing I love most about the doge listing & is that anyone can do it.
@ourZORA
doesn't get a fee, you dont need our approval either.
The only people who see value are the curator
@knowyourmeme
& the original creators and the charities they've chosen.

i have responsibilities a civilian could never understand: to the founder(s), and most importantly to the board who count on me to bring the future to their doorstep.
does that sound fake to you?
I used to have a strong self-belief that I was somehow different to tech dudes because I didn't live in SF and surely Sydney is different.
Then I asked
@rorenree
to explain the types of SF tech dudes & she described me all the way down the exact style of the backpack I own
Will OS my efforts & likely live tweet the process. If there's anything technically you'd like to see me try and do with our OS tools please let me know!

the first ever mainnet nfts i minted while building zora's first nft product (i think id
#3
) was literally an empty text file (one single zero-width character). decided to mint it again
I have not stopped thinking about how far we can get with pure text NFT since last nights nft experiment.
There's something insanely "pure" about them, and the idea of derived rarity vs centralised/abstracted rarity seems special.
Another 2am NFT while I migrate DB's???
