Bidding is now live! Who will become Melanie Roy and Thomas ? RDV in 7 days ...:) Someone asked me about the technical aspects of becoming the character, how i will train a model to make it happen etc ... On the website, you'll find all the details. DM if needed https://thecrossingai.com/you-in-the-film/ Also, a typo in the mint page on Manifold. The two characters appear in Act II & III, not I & II

I actually do the whole new year's resolutions thing, and it actually works. The key thing to understand is that humans are creatures of habit. Doing the same action you've already done regularly takes very little mental effort, whereas inserting a new one-time task takes much more. And so if you want yourself to do certain things more, you need to make it a habit. The year boundary is as good a place as any to evaluate the habits that you're chosen to impose on yourself, and see whether they are effective and sustainable, and adjust, add or remove any. My style is to make them measurable, trackable, and targeted to exactly the level of effort that I know will not make me want to abandon them, even during my months of busiest work, most intensive travel schedule or call schedule, etc. Examples I've done: * Walk an average of >= 6km/day each month * Run >= 50km each month * Write >= 1 blog post each month * Study some language for 30 min each week * Do >= 2 major cryptography programming projects each year At every year boundary, re-evaluate your old list, and decide on your new list. And yeah I have txt files for tracking this (sorry, not gonna use some corposlop app that makes me dependent on third-party servers) You actually want each one to be relatively trivial, so that you can stack multiple, and because the benefits of maximizing are less important than the risk that you will give up on the whole thing. This has worked well for me and I recommend it.

announcement: i will no longer be making self-deprecatory jokes about being single

One week ago, we launched @betrmint v3 after a few months of cooking. Infinite rounds, infinite rewards, infinite upside. 💪 But shipping the thing is never the end of the road. We’ve been tracking metrics and asking the community for candid feedback, and @netnose has been back in the lab shipping improvements quickly. So without further ado… Introducing BETRMINT 3.1, live now in the app! Here’s the changelog: 1) The price per ticket has dropped from $2 USDC to $1 USDC. This makes the game more accessible while also smoothing variance for those who like to spin a lot (ahem @cellar @itbullet.eth @yes2crypto.eth) This was by far the most common request since launch. It wasn’t trivial to change due to some dependencies, but we felt it was worth the effort. Big thanks to our partners at @blueprint for the flexibility to experiment here. 2) We’ve tweaked the Chainlink VRF-verified odds to include a new 20x mini jackpot, along with fewer “Try Again/ BETR Luck” outcomes per 1,000 spins. Combined with the lower price, this should make spinning feel a lot more fun and rewarding going forward. 3) A brand new multicolor neon flywheel. (It was time.) 4) An always-visible countdown ticker at the top of the app showing when the current featured art, along with streaks and bonus counters, will reset. ⸻ We’re also working on a few more quality-of-life upgrades, including: • Super Spinner badges (50 spins) • Ultra Spinner badges (100 spins) • streak indicators • 10x and 50x spin buttons by popular request Expect a small 3.2 update very soon. ⸻ Thank you to everyone who has supported us since the v3 launch and for the honest, thoughtful feedback. It genuinely helps us make the app BETR. Please try out the new round featuring fabulous art by @terrybain and let us know how it feels. Mini app link below. Much love, toady & netnose https://betrmint.fun/mint-spin-win/base:0xf819C0514B2518CB6b23154f91D7A64957eDe697

I still laugh a bit when I think about how basenames wound up being DOA. Launched out of nowhere and costing near-nothing. No priority given to ENS holders or fNames. So every grifter purchased dozens/hundreds of basenames to squat & try extort from actual users who wanted them. End result being grifters holding the bag with a bunch of worthless basenames, and basenames themselves becoming synonymous with scammers and spammers (partly in thanks to content coins being linked to them). I really hope Base have learned from the mistakes of Zora, BaseApp, and BaseNames, but man. It's like nobody who uses crypto actually works at the company.

PSA: some requested changes are loading on @betrmint and the app will be going into Maintenance Mode now for 10 minutes. the new features will be live when the next infinite round starts at 4PM est and I’ll send another cast detailing the changelog! we do it live!

It pains me to say it - but every "chain" marketer that promotes message "XYZ chain is for AI agents" should just be fired 🙄 ... and founder or leader that approves it should be sent to a short comms course 🚨
