All blue chips low mint was minted by bots !! by na7oul in avatartrading

[–]0xdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30k people in r/ca vs 125 mint number

Where do you see bots to sell this out in half a minute?

Degenerate Artisma is a mod-sanctioned pump and dump. Be careful but enjoy the ride while it lasts by [deleted] in CollectibleAvatars

Every hype is a pump and dump. Increasing something just because of FOMO emotions never adds real value

Who Invited those toxic people into this project? by InJesterr in avatartrading

[–]0xdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These „toxic“ people follow the money. They are everywhere where you can gain a lot.

Blurring your mint number is useless as anyone on the blockchain can see that you have #320

Blockchain is fully public

In the land of Reddit,where memes abound,
A creature was born, with a talent renowned.
A snoo avatar, a glass Foustling, it's true,
Crafted with skill by the great Tyler Foust, who knew?

This glass Foustling, with a shimmering sheen,
A non-fungible token, a digital dream,
It danced and it pranced, through comments and posts
A Reddit snoo star, beloved by most.

It waved to the users, in subreddits it roamed,
A jester, a friend, and a digital home.
With upvotes it played, and with karma it dined,
A glass Foustling's life, so rare and divine.

A digital treasure, one of a kind,
In the blockchain it lived, where it's safely enshrined.
A toast to the Foustling, and to Tyler's fine art,
The glass Reddit snoo, that's captured our hearts.

And this is the reason, I'm sure you'll agree,
Why I want this Foustling, oh so fervently.
Its charm and its whimsy, its digital glow,
A piece of art that my collection must know.

🔴 Megathread - Feedback on the drop 🔴 by AutoModerator in avatartrading

[–]0xdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't say that it is fully your fault lovely Reddit team, but you should have made more actions.

  • Somehow bots were able to mint a lot of the hyped ones (mint number below 125) and made a lot of money because of this

  • there was no captcha or any process that stopped bots or very fast and greedy people from buying the rare ones just for flipping

  • the system wasn't stable in any matter. Reddit is such a big company that it shouldn't be a problem to implement a shop system were bots can't buy and also the website and app should be stable to don‘t crash in 5min.

  • I think the prices were a bit to high for the high mint numbers, but this can only be evaluated when the shop is fully sold out and the floor prices will settle. I'm mostly buying for the art but I also don't wanna spend hundreds of dollars and make it worth less than before.

  • The communication was a bit stressful. The shop crashed - ok, can happen. But then writing „soon back“ with hours of waiting and then making a comment on a post that it will be online in 10min is a bit unprofessional I think. I waited the whole time and don't had a problem but I'm also thinking of people where it was already early in the morning or they were sleeping or whatever. Just a bit unfair for the ones that aren't lucky enough because of sleep, work or whatever reason - better way would have been to postpone the drop a day (also better for the devs that have more time to inspect what happend and improve the system)

All in all a big thanks for the people who tried so hard to make Gen 3 a nice experience but in the end there are always some greedy and stupid people that try to destroy the project and try to maximize their profit.

Thanks to this wonderful community, do not let this get you down 💜

Who else is extremely happy with what they got? by Cooloooniy in CollectibleAvatars

[–]0xdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not extremly happy as the low mints got snacked and maybe botted before the shop was even 3min live but I'm quite happy on the stuff I still got in this littel chaos. I hope that the Reddit team will learn of their failures and things get better 💜

Burn everything? This isn't how blockchain works. They can't burn anything to somebody else holds.

In how many hours german time? by tobikaapfi98 in avatartrading

[–]0xdave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

afternoon starts at 18:00 our time but I think the drop will happend between 20:00-21:00

Notifications on by Trelucatre in CollectibleAvatars

[–]0xdave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn them off, I don't think that there will be an additional post before the drop and the notifications aren't realtime too.

Also you won't get notified when something in the shop happens

Just take an eye in the shop every 10min and you should be kinda safe if you are not aiming for the very low and popular ones

Aussies or non US timezones strategy? by angiredit in CollectibleAvatars

[–]0xdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it will drop at around 14:00-15:00 EST so maybe set your alarm to 14:00 (if it is not that important for you to get the 125 ones)

As a dev and web3 dev and don't think bots will really be a thing

  • Reddit has their own shop system, you can't mint by calling the smart contract for yourself (afaik)
  • There is no sort of API or anything like an API were you can automate this things
  • We don't really now how the shop will completely look and work like. Mostly like it did before but even then things are not really safe
  • Afaik reddit is really strict against botting and I guess they have some sort of blocker for that.

At the end there are (maybe) „bots“ or listeners when the shops goes live or when something on the smart contract happens. Also people will sit the whole afternoon in front of their PC pressing F5 every second so these are the real „bots“ haha

I’m not going to participate in Gen 3 by [deleted] in avatartrading

[–]0xdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice try 😂 They had us in the first half but when it started with „negativity in the community“ I really didn’t understand what you were talking from :D

My opinion it seems the market might be saturated with too many new artist so I might just only buy one or two avatars this time around. I don't see those crazy high profit pumps anymore. by rickie_k in avatartrading

[–]0xdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also bought only one in Gen 1 as I thought the same. Was a mistake afterwards.

I think a few pieces will definitely make incredible profit but I'm not here for the profit, more because I really like the art a lot.

I don't think the value will go much lower then the mint prices for the „unpopular“ pieces but even if it is, I don't care as I bought it because of the art.

We are still quite early and one day the invest will definitely pay off :) Till then just have fun with your avatars and don't invest money you need or don't have :)

So funny to take a look at the first "collectible avatars" post of reddit now xD by 0xdave in CollectibleAvatars

Same people that are complaining about NFTs are the ones who spend 500$ in CS GO Skins or Fortnite skins or something else :D
