Crypto

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.

    Mainnet Merge Lapse 12 "Thing"

    The Mainnet Merge Paint Party was one of the fun events to celebrate the Ethereum Merge in September, and I put some pixels down and put “Thing” on that canvas to be memorialized forever. At the time there was a comment of being able to mint an NFT from the canvas, but it wasn’t ready yet. I recently stumbled onto the new and improved POAP Art website and saw that the mint feature was now live!

    I minted the 12th lapse and now have my own NFT that is a animated zoom of just the area of the POAP Canvas that my name is in. You can see that I had to defend my pixels through the night.

    If you look closely you’ll also see an “HF” in red. That is Hector’s pixels that he placed and then I defended, and eventually moved, to keep them in the final.

    I also have my Mainnet Merge POAP.art Canvas Pixel Placer POAP token as well. 🤩

    What a great way to remember such a historic event, and mark “I was here!”

    The POAP for this weekend’s Things 4 Good 2022 Fall Fundraiser is ready and it is awesome! This will be a fun collectible for those that come, as well as enabling holders to have input on next years candles! 🤩

    Ethereum reached another milestone tonight having 0% inflation since the Merge. Ultrasound Money status achieved. 🦇🔊

    An estimated 650,652 eth (3.6%) would have been created with proof-of-work.

    Reddit Vault and ENS

    I recently setup a Reddit Vault so that I can play along with Reddit as they try various crypto features in the platform. I love that they did this by creating a full Ethereum wallet, and you can get the seed phrase. I wanted to see if I could even attach an ENS name to my Reddit Vault and it was easy enough to do.

    1. I let Reddit setup my vault, and then got the seed phrase.
    2. I used the seed phrase to setup Rainbow with that same address.
    3. I transferred a little ETH and MATIC into the Vault address.
    4. I went into ENS and created a subdomain for reddit.jamie.thingelstad.eth and set the address to my Reddit Vault.
    5. I logged out of ENS as thingelstad.eth, and logged in using the Reddit Vault and set my reverse.

    It was super simple to do and now I have a fully setup Reddit Vault account, on it’s own seed phrase and totally independent of my thingelstad.eth and related accounts.

    I just wrapped up another Poapathon contest to get a design for our Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser. The designers were amazing, creative, and put forward several options that were great fits for our event. If you need design help it is an amazing resource! 🎨

    Idea: Could be really fun to give out a POAP along with candy on Halloween. Hmm… 🎃👻
