Before we discuss the GAME, here are some smaller updates:

We updated spookiness to be out of 13 instead of 1300. Opensea is being slow about updating so if you see a Spooky Boy with a high spookiness refresh that metadata! Dont worry your spooky boy’s spookiness was preserved, it was not regenerated. We did this to support rarity tools and in preparation for use in the game.

We hired another dev to help with contract testing and blockchain development!

We had an awesome week here working on the game. Here were our initial plans:

Answers to questions:

• You can use one key for all of your spooky boys

• The key will not be burned but it will be locked in the contract until you withdraw

Gold Mansion

5 $SOUL per day per SBCC (prorated)

If leaving through the back door (no gold key) 75% risk of losing your accumulated $SOUL to all of the staked Mansion Boys

Silver Mansion

3 $SOUL per day per SBCC (prorated)

If leaving through the back door (no silver key) 50% risk of losing your accumulated $SOUL to all of the staked Mansion Boys

Bronze Mansion

1 $SOUL per day per SBCC (prorated)

If leaving through the back door (no bronze key) 20% risk of losing your accumulated $SOUL to all of the staked Mansion Boys

Beta Logistics

• We hope to have the beta up in around 2 weeks.

• The beta will be on the Rinkeby test network

• Try and get some rinkeby ETH from a faucet (its free) if you would like to beta test

After collecting feedback from over 100 of you here is what we are going to dev over the next two weeks for the beta. Don’t worry there will be more time for feedback after that! Also we will announce the play testers once we get closer.

Here is what has changed:

If leaving through the back door (no gold key) 60% risk of losing your accumulated $SOUL

If leaving through the back door (no silver key) 40% risk of losing your accumulated $SOUL

Your spooky boy’s spookiness level will decrease the risk if leaving through the back door.

Platinum Mansion ;)

Our to dos for this week:

So, what is cryptocurrency?

A cryptocurrency is a digital currency, which is an alternative form of payment created using encryption algorithms. The use of encryption technologies means that cryptocurrencies function both as a currency and as a virtual accounting system.

To USE this currency you need a cryptocurrency wallet that is stored in a cloud and on your devices. These wallets are encrypted to protect your identity and information. Cryptocurrencies work using a technology called a blockchain. Blockchain is a decentralized technology spread across many computers that manage and records transactions.

What are the main types of cryptocurrency?

Bitcoin: This is the most common type of cryptocurrency and what one understands when referring to DIGITAL MONEY. They were also the first type of cryptocurrency.

Altcoin: These cryptocurrencies are very similar to Bitcoin except they work in a different function and format.

Token: These are cryptocurrencies for decentralized apps. Eg. Civic, Bitdegree.

There are currently around 16,000 cryptocurrencies being traded right now, publicly.

How does cryptocurrency work?

Cryptocurrencies use what is known as Blockchain technology to function. Blockchain is essentially multiple computer networks that monitor transactions. This is a shared database.

People invest in cryptocurrencies for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the most popular:

Supporters see cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as the currency of the future and are racing to buy them now, presumably before they become more valuable.

Some supporters like the fact that cryptocurrency removes central banks from managing the money supply, since over time these banks tend to reduce the value of money via inflation.

Other supporters like the technology behind cryptocurrencies, called blockchain, because it’s a decentralized processing and recording system and can be more secure than traditional payment systems.

Some speculators like cryptocurrencies because they’re going up in value and have no interest in the currencies’ long-term acceptance as a way to move money.

How does one BUY or SELL cryptocurrency?

There are applications and portals on the internet that allow for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies. Once the apps have been downloaded, the user KYC needs to be authenticated and then trading can begin. The user also needs to set up a wallet WITHIN the application to transfer money from their existing bank account into this wallet.

Crypto in India and the taxation of the same:

Cryptocurrencies are still unregulated in India which means there’s no statutory body or a set of guidelines to monitor the trade of cryptocurrencies. This means risk and reward are unlimited for the time being. Experts say to ensure that the cryptocurrency is well protected and comes from a legitimate company or source. With a lack of regulation, almost anyone can print and circulate their own cryptocurrency.

Only as recently as 2018, the BAN on cryptocurrency was lifted in India. But it is dire to note that although it is not BANNED, there is currently no regulation of the same. However, there are new reports that hint that SEBI might start regulating cryptocurrencies and there may be a levy of tax at the rate of 1% on crypto transactions under the GST regime.

Crypto and its Future:

There are many who believe that this is just a “trend” in the market and a bubble that is soon to pop whereas others, such as the president of El Salvador, went on record to say that the American Dollar is not the future but crypto is. Depending on how beneficial non-regulation, transparency and many players in a market prove to be, cryptocurrency could pave the way to how we see money minted and being traded.

私たちはCult&Rainです。

これは多くの（願わくば）投稿の最初のものです。私たちはこのスペースが建築中のものであり、青写真がないことを知っています。だからこそ私たちはここにいて、こんなことをしているのです。私たちはびびっていると同時に、元気をもらってもいます。

まず、歴史上最も変動の激しい市場で、絶え間なく変化することがゲームの本質ならば、革新性と創造性が勝利へ導いてくれるだろうと考えています。また、パンチを繰り出す能力は常に私たちの信条です。私たちが今日ここにいるのは、変化を信じているからであり、特にファッションブランドには新しい道があると思っています。

私たちは時代遅れのファッションシステムから来ました。何年も会議に出席し、何もかもを話し合ってきました。私たちは、寄生虫のような企業のエネルギーにうんざりしていて、もっと何か、違うものを求めていました。

私たちのビジョンはシンプルです。CULT&RAINは、暗号通貨の世界から生まれた最初の高級ファッションハウスです。C&Rは、Web3、ファッション、アートの3つの要素を、物理的な高級商品で結びつけたものです。

Cult&Rainは、2000個の4KアニメーションNFTと2000個の流行の先端を行く高級スニーカーを組み合わせた、非常にコレクション性の高いGenesis Dropをローンチします。

Genesis Dropは、見事な3D NFTアートワークと最先端のデザインになじみの深い、クリプト愛好家のために作られました。デジタルとフィジカルのギャップを埋めるために、各NFTは1,000ドル以上の価値がある「メイド・イン・イタリー」の高級スニーカーとペアになっており、C&R社が誇るイタリアのサプライチェーンを通じて最高級の素材と製造を実現しています。

創業者のGeorge Yangは、ニューヨーク、ミラノ、パリで17年以上の経験を持ち、ラグジュアリー＆プレミアムファッション業界で国際的なデザインスタジオを率いてきた熟練のファッション・クリエイティブ・ディレクターです。彼は、Theory、Costume National、Guy Laroche、Cerruti Parisなど、世界中の有名ファッションブランドのデザインを手がけてきました。

リーダーチームは、ファッション、テクノロジー、暗号通貨の各業界にまたがり、Balenciaga、Diesel、Zegna、Gucci、Maison Margielaなどのブランドで活躍しています。

NFTのコレクションは、4つの先鋭的なスニーカーデザインで構成されており、それぞれ5つのユニークなカラーウェイ(配色)、合計20のユニークなカラーウェイで構成されています。各カラーウェイ100足ずつ、合計2000足のコレクションです。CULT&RAIN genesis dropの一環として、高い評価を受けているアーティストによって制作される4つのコレクターズアイテム、ユニークスキンがあります。現在、最後のアーティストを決定しており、近日中に4つのスキンを公開する予定です。どうぞご期待ください。

これはTITAN-モデル1のティザーです。

まだまだたくさんの製品が登場します。私たちは未来に興奮していますし、何よりも皆さんと一緒に未来を切り開いていきたいと思っています。私たちが非常に興奮しているのは、未来は私たちの手の中にあり、私たちがそこに一緒にいることを知っているからです。私たちは長い道のりを歩むことになりますが、それがどのようなものであっても、そこには冒険が伴います。ここまでの道のりは、拒絶されたり、称賛されたり、混乱したり、そして何よりも「何をf$ckなことを言っているんだ」のような、多くの感情で満たされてきました。

これからの数週間は紆余曲折があると思いますが、私たちは透明性と信頼性を約束し、できれば順風満帆に進みたいと思っています。参加している人も、横から見ている人も、「一生に一度の冒険」に参加していることに「フィスト・バンプ」をしてください。

私たちとつながっていてください。DiscordやTwitterに参加して、私たちの冒険の詳細を知り、つながりを持ち、応援してください。

MEXC Global was founded in 2018 and has since grown to over 6 million users in over 70 countries. The exchange is a high-performance trading engine which has been developed by industry experts and is capable of completing 1.4 million transactions per second — something that results in ground breaking efficiency and enhanced performance.

Now, $QUIDD will be made available to even more individuals — giving more people than ever before a chance to be part of our community. Today, the collectibles market is valued at over $412 billion, and is expected to grow to $628 billion by 2031. Founded over 5 years ago and home to 7 million collectors, Quidd is the first marketplace built for buying and selling limited-edition, individually serialized digital collectibles. Now, Quidd is uniquely positioned to become the category leader in digital collectibles, and we’re set to bring the next billion consumers into NFTs.

In November 2021, the private sale of the QUIDD token raised US$4 million from investors including Binance Smart Chain Growth Fund, Genesis Block Ventures, Kingsway, Mind Fund Group Ltd, Sanctor Capital, OneFootball, and other angel investors. With a total supply of 1 billion tokens, the QUIDD token will be the essential currency for digital collectors who wish to access the offerings of Quidd’s marketplace

Still, this is only the beginning of Quidd’s journey, and we could not be more excited for this opportunity to partner with MEXC.

Happy trading!!

$QUIDD cannot be purchased by any citizen or resident of the United States, with or without the use of a VPN, and cannot be purchased by anyone within United States territory.
