The Miner exposed their seed phrase and, uh, the cure for such property violation is a transition to web3. Somewhere else, somebody called Daniel wished to modify themselves after a nasty accident. The Miner, having successfully transitioned, sympathised with Daniel and bridged them to an auction for expiring names. Security trapped The Miner at the gates. Fortunately, Daniel, who’s accident left them with stumpy legs, crawled unawares along a route where a domain name dealer informed Daniel that their name, d/DANIEL, is technically an uppercase scam. Uppercase DANIEL was emotional, unstable. Arriving at the auction uppercase DANIEL was surprised to encounter a former romantic partner; Nancy Brown opened up about their past, which sent uppercase DANIEL into fomo who then stole a piece of their heart and ran (crawled) away.

Screen grabs of Episodes 1 through 12

Watch all 12 Episodes on [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm7uDOvAsm4_6Zvs0OWl3QA/videos). Episode 13 continues on the Namecoin blockchain; a chain so contentious because [tokens expire](https://mirror.xyz/chainleft.eth/wzrLY6rGpIfFnlxbnQBK0DKDF-yUapaFQvaOcMgWQOY) every 9 months that the spirit of these tokens is open for speculation. Miner Kramps’s intention on the Namecoin blockchain is to reappropriate Namecoin tokens and bridge them to other blockchains.

It began with a collaboration with two people called Daniel (unbeknownst to each other) on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/miner_kramps/). Their voice notes shaped Episode 6 [script](https://mirror.xyz/kramps.eth/KrABA-z5C0iIuqijBYVud7n5nsDroi5-RRxcU8rvlTs).

Later, a Namecoin archeologist supported the narrative by gifting Miner Kramps the asset [d/DANIEL](https://www.namebrow.se/name/d/DANIEL/) from 2011, which is a historically significant creation date considering digital tradable assets. Supposed scammers sell non-standard (uppercase) domains, which cannot serve as a website hosting content and thus lose their functionality and value. Determining value for digital assets in a market is subjective to a collector’s interest. Miner Kramps finds value in this particular non-standard domain as it adds the perfect layer to Daniel who is a socially engineered sycophant, monomaniacal about identity profit.

`Collaborators`

**Collaborators took part exclusively in the audio** by voicing characters, submitting music and mastering the final mix. No matter the skill, effort or reputation of the collaborator only one NFT corresponding to the Episode they took part in was allocated. If you wish to take part in an Episode, drop by the [Discord](https://discord.gg/SxgygXRUG9).

`NFTs`

**NFTs are minted on the blockchain pertaining to the** **story** and distributed equally to all contributors. For example, Episode 9 took place on the Namecoin blockchain and involved two collaborators. Thus, three NFTs were minted on the Namecoin blockchain; one NFT for Miner Kramps and one NFT for each collaborator.

This method of minting and this approach to democratise participation will remain consistent throughout all Episodes.

**Purchase NFTs:**

*   Episodes 1 to 3 have not been minted.
    
*   Episodes 4 to 7 were minted on Ethereum. View on [Opensea](https://opensea.io/collection/kramps).
    
*   Episodes 8 to 12 were minted on Namecoin, which has no marketplace for trade. Get in touch for Over The Counter deals.
    

`POAP`

**POAPs were distributed to those that engaged with the Premiere of each Episode.**

![POAPs began on Episode 8](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/e76afa90d8b6e9947cf992b1b6663b12c709a31c013209d08d28c6834ebccc98.png)

POAPs began on Episode 8

Miner Kramps seeks to record and reward attention, and take action against passive consumption of content that diminishes our explorative nature. [POAP](https://poap.xyz/) - a web3 application - makes this possible. A three-day window was allocated to the Premiere of an Episode wherein anybody who responded to the video via comment, like or retweet would receive a private link to mint a POAP. With time, the thinking is to build a website where one checks in with their wallet, watches the Premiere of an Episode and mints a POAP.

YEAR TWO
--------

`cc0`

The following Episodes will be disassembled so that the scripts and audio and visuals are open to freely build upon, enhance and reuse for any purposes without restriction under the cc0 license.

*   Scripts on [Mirror](https://mirror.xyz/kramps.eth).
    
*   Stems on [GDrive](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1rVXa23RUIeLPW89GldkoQMr9jBipDp5M).
    

To punctuate the beginning of YEAR TWO with a serious dismembering, Episode 13 will be absent of visuals and audio; only the script will be created by Miner Kramps. Visual and audio interpretations of the script are open to anyone, at anytime. Three NFTs will be minted on Namecoin - one for Miner Kramps, one for the audio collaborator and one for the visual collaborator.

### Thank you to the collaborators and the collectors.
