Forays into blockchain, NFTs and POAPs live here. I write about minting POAP tokens at family events, celebrating Ethereum’s 10‑year anniversary by creating an NFT and even using monitoring services to keep my POAP feeds up and running.
Collected POAP 7368637 for Campbell Mithun Tower — 612 POAP Challenge.
612 POAP Challenge: Collect them all!
Way back in the day I loved Geocaching. It was so much fun, particularly before it got commercialized. It was a way of exploring the area around you and finding cool, hidden things. 🗺️
When I first found POAPs the capability to claim a POAP for a location was something I wanted right away, and now you can with location drops! I created my very first location POAP and even recorded a video claiming it. Awesome. I wanted to make something with this. 🤔
Then I connected the dots between the 612 Series NFTs which I have a complete collection of. You may remember I also interviewed Erik Halaas who created it. This was perfect – peanut butter and chocolate moment! ✨
Thus the 612 POAP Challenge was created! 😲
If you live in Minneapolis join in and go collect some of these locations. The event runs until Labor Day. I think this will be a fun summer activity! Get the whole family involved on some walks, bike rides, kayaks, and explore the city. I collected my first one this morning! 🧭
I love that I was able to create an entire activity on the POAP platform. 🤩
PS: Please spread the word to others so we can get a bunch of folks playing along!
Screen recording at Lake Harriet claiming the very first POAP of the 612 POAP Challenge!
Finished 4.05 mile walk in 73.1 minutes (18.05 min/mile). It was a delightful morning for a walk with great views and feats of strength. I also collected the very first POAP of the 612 POAP Challenge to officially kick off a summer project — see the moment! 🚶♂️
Collected POAP 7364397 for Lake Harriet — 612 POAP Challenge.
I created my very first location-based POAP. Our “Peanuts Tree” is a popular spot on Cannon Lake and you can now mint a POAP if you visit it. I’m going to place a QR code by it so visitors can get more info. Will anybody do it? I don’t know, but it is fun either way. See screen recording of mint.
