Overview of LP Jams

Right now here is a complete overview of the jams and how they are working.

1x weekly event (LP Jam) Monday’s at 2:30 pm UTC. Current format will continue until we decided to add / improve it.
*some individuals have discussed adding additional events. this can allow us to test different content formats and increase viewership (different hours)**
***
Fund Management :
Right now we have (2) multisigs.
LP Jam Funding : a “bank account” for the LP Jams. We have decided that will distribute these funds to LP Army members who show positive track records. We are still deciding on how to implement this. (ps: I would like to keep ~20sol for use during jams. this is an adequate amount to LP with during the jams)

LP Jam Treasury : this account consists of all of the profits we’ve generated from LP jams prior to 10/23. Currently the fund is not being allocated to anything. We need to decide how to best use these funds

Voting / Amending the LP Jams :
as of right now we are allowing anyone to propose new ideas and vote on them. We’ve assumed a 60% majority being required to “pass” a proposal

Discussion Topics

the next topics we need to discuss / vote on are
1. how are we going to vote on / approve LPrs (mebe allow people to nominate someone and then they get approved by multisig?)
2. how much should some one receive (mebe start at x sol and increase to Y after proof of profitability?)
3. how do we align individual LP efforts with group goals (we had been requiring DLMMrs to make content on X sharing info about their LPs)
4. Should we incorporate profit share, and if so, how much? How should we distribute profits / utilize them effectively?
5. How do we increase “group think” / team efforts in LPing and in overall Jam “meta”

Imagine a giant shared spreadsheet, accessible to everyone, where entries can't be changed or deleted. That's essentially a blockchain! It's a digital record of transactions stored in "blocks" linked together in a chain. This creates a secure and transparent timeline, perfect for tracking things like money, contracts, or even votes. Think of it as a super trustworthy and public record-keeper, available to all!

How do Blockchains work and what are their core functions?

Blockchains function like a high-tech game of telephone, but with everyone listening in! When someone proposes a change (like a transaction), it's broadcasted to everyone on the network. Special computers then race to solve a complex math puzzle, and the first one to crack it gets to "write" the change onto the next block of the chain. This new block also includes a unique code linked to the previous block, making it nearly impossible to tamper with the record. This whole process, called "consensus mechanism," ensures everyone agrees on the order and validity of changes, creating a secure and transparent timeline.

At its core, blockchains excel at two things:

1. Securely recording information: Imagine an unalterable record of ownership for assets, medical history, or even votes. That's the power of blockchain!

2. Enabling trustless transactions: Without a central authority, anyone can verify and participate in transactions, reducing costs and risks in areas like finance and supply chain management.

Think of it as a self-governing, super secure way to store and share information, opening doors to exciting possibilities in various fields!

A brief history of Blockchain technology

The story of blockchain starts not with money, but with time! In the 1990s, researchers wanted a secure way to timestamp digital documents. This led to the building blocks of blockchain, like Merkle trees for efficient data storage. Then, in 2008, came the game-changer: Bitcoin. This digital currency introduced the world to a real-world blockchain, used to track Bitcoin transactions without a central bank. While Bitcoin grabbed headlines, blockchain's potential boomed. People saw its secure and transparent nature as a game-changer, not just for money, but for anything needing trust and verification. From tracking diamonds to securing medical records, the possibilities seemed endless. Today, blockchain continues to evolve, with businesses and governments exploring its potential across various industries. It's a young technology with a big future, and its story is still being written!

What are the common use cases of Blockchain Technology? (+ real world examples)

Blockchain's potential stretches far beyond just cryptocurrency! Here are some key areas where it's making waves:

1. Supply Chain: Imagine tracking your coffee bean from farm to cup, ensuring fair trade and sustainable practices. Blockchain platforms like IBM Food Trust do just that, creating transparent and secure supply chains.

2. Identity Management: Say goodbye to stolen passwords! Blockchain can securely store your identity information, giving you control over who can access it. Estonia's X-Road system uses blockchain for secure digital identity, simplifying citizen interactions with government services.

3. Voting Systems: Blockchain's tamper-proof nature can revolutionize elections. Platforms like Voatz allow secure and verifiable online voting, reducing fraud and increasing accessibility.

4. Healthcare: Imagine a secure, shared medical record accessible only to authorized parties. Blockchain-based platforms like Medchain are making this a reality, improving patient data privacy and streamlining healthcare processes.

These are just a glimpse of the possibilities. As blockchain technology matures, we can expect even more innovative use cases to emerge, transforming various industries in exciting ways!

How can the average person use / benefit from blockchain technology?

While the average person might not directly use blockchain technology every day, its impact is already rippling through many aspects of our lives. Here are some ways it can benefit you:

1. Increased Transparency and Trust: Blockchain's transparent nature can bring trust to areas like food safety, product authenticity, and even charitable donations. Imagine knowing exactly where your food comes from or ensuring your donations reach the intended cause – that's the power of blockchain at play!

2. More Secure Transactions: From voting systems to identity management, blockchain's robust security can protect your personal information and ensure the validity of transactions. Imagine casting a vote with complete confidence or having an unhackable digital ID – that's the potential of blockchain in action!

3. Streamlined Processes: Blockchain can automate and simplify processes in various sectors, leading to faster and more efficient experiences. Imagine quicker insurance claims processing or easier access to medical records – that's the efficiency boost blockchain can bring!

4. New Investment Opportunities: While cryptocurrency might seem complex, it's one way individuals can participate in the blockchain revolution. Remember, even if you don't directly use blockchain technology, its influence is shaping a more secure, transparent, and efficient future for many aspects of our lives.

Lessons / Homework

1. Define a blockchain.

2. Explain the difference between a blockchain and centralized database

3. Explain the benefits of a decentralized database.

4. Explain the benefits of a centralized database.

5. Define / create an example of how a blockchain could be used in a real world scenario.

feelings i dont understand but I know exist

it’s foggy outside -- I can’t see far but I know that the sun is out there -- it is shining and I am going to feel it’s warmth

there is a part of me that is afraid -- uncertain, I don’t KNOW what is coming

but then there is another part of me -- certain, knowing absoluteness that I am free -- that I am blessed and that I am safe and protecte

knowing this gives me courage -- I feel it deep in my soul.

it’s a block of iron, forged in fire, something that can not be taken nor lost

i felt it for a while now -- blessed, unseen -- ready to emerge

the volcano is about to frigggin erupt

my life -- flowers, petals falling to earth, nothing left but a meal

supper

1. Make it more challenging for people to enter.

   1. Add phone verification

   2. Add captcha

2. Add a welcome screen

   1. Welcome screen will display rules and onboarding message

   2. After welcome screen, users are sent to an onboarding channel

      1. This channel will have a video explaining everything they need to know to get started with AGG.

3. Add new role : Level 0 user (we will change these names later)

   1. People are automatically at level 0 when the enter the channel.

   2. At level 0 they have access to

      1. Group Chat

      2. Quest : Shill Squadron

      3. Support Channel

   3. As a level 0 user they can

      1. Invite new users to our channel

      2. Interact with our social media posts

4. In order to get to Level 1, users must

   1. invite 25 people to our channel (not including fake / leaves)

5. At Level 1, users will choose a squad

   1. Two Squads

      1. Content

      2. Research

   2. Each Squad will have various objectives, as well as levels within the squad.

6. Squads

   1. Level 1

      1. Users with < 100 xp

         1. Level 1 users will be “entry level” and will have to grind simple tasks in order to earn xp (Can we have two separate xp systems?)

   2. Level 2

      1. Users with 100-1000 xp

         1. Level 2 users are “main” users, composing the majority of the server.

         2. They are responsible for helping their squad with Daily and Weekly objectives

   3. Level 3

      1. “Super Users” with >1000 xp

         1. Level 3 users are “super” users, composing a small % of the guild

         2. They are responsible for choosing Daily / Weekly objectives

XP system

Users will be able to earn XP for various tasks.

• Daily check in : 5 xp

• Invite user : 10 xp

• Daily task : 10 xp

• Weekly task : 70 xp

• Bonus objectives : tbd

Each XP is worth (1) AGG token

If (above) doesn’t make sense.

Our goal is to have 3 main user catagories. New users will have to earn xp in order to get access to the guild. We want to do this to make sure they are committed to our project. Also, it protects the guild from malicious entities. Once a user has been validated (>25 invites), they will earn AGG tokens and will be an equity user. AGG tokens are dividend producing so that means by holding them you are earning passive income. In order to make this fair, users must continue to add value to the group. We will start off with two different squads : content and research. Each squad will have it’s own members, and it’s own objectives. At first, I will set the objectives, but as users level up, the “super” users for each squad will set objectives on their own. Users must maintain a 5/7 average for daily interaction (meaning they must complete 5 out of 7 daily tasks each week in order to stay active). They also must always take part in the weekly task (they have 7 days to do one task -- so this should not be an issue). If they fail to do this for 2 weeks in a row, they will lose their xp (and their AGG token).

So this past week I spent a lot of time thinking about how to best move our project forward -- and the conclusion I came to is … create a DAO

So, we now have not one … but TWO DAOs!

Why two?

I launched a squad (for use on Solana) and an XDAO for use on Avax/Binance/Matic/etc.

We are going to use the XDAO for handling NFTs and our Squad will be for governance and distribution of profits.

What is a DAO?

A DAO is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization. The goal of our guild is to create financial well being for all of our members and having a DAO lets us do things like

• store funds in a central wallet

• distribute tokens and profits to guild members

• raise funds and vote on how we use them.

Why now?

I was trying to figure out the best way to manage this project. We have a lot of people who are contributing and it was becoming rather complex … so, to keep things simple we are going to leverage our XP system from Discord and use that to distribute AGG tokens.

More XP = More AGG.

Now, when you do you daily check in … you earn AGG.

When you help out on Social Media … you earn AGG.

When you invite a friend to the guild … you earn AGG.

Note : please bare with us as we set up these systems. This is “my” first time building a DAO and we will surely hit some snags along the way. But! We are all going to dao our best :P … and I’m sure we will figure it out along the way.

What now?

First off -- everyone needs to complete their invite requirement before they can be a “full member.” Each person who invites 25 people will earn 100 AGG tokens (worth $10) and will be granted full access to the discord.

We’ve create a document to help you get to 25 invites!

After you finish your first quest -- you will be prompted to choose a skill path!

Right now you can choose between CONTENT and RESEARCH.

Note : you can only choose one path (for now) so choose wisely!

Once you choose your skill path you will get access to a special discord channel. Each skill path will have tasks to accomplish. By accomplish tasks (daily and weekly) you will earn XP, level up, and get more AGG tokens!

More on skill paths in the next few days! If you have any questions DM one of our mods or leave a message in the group chat!

Let’s go Alpha Fam!!

You’re now one step closer to accomplishing your goals and living your dreams!

Our mission is to create financial well being for all of our members! Hooray!

At Alpha we’ve created quests to help you join the guild.

The first quest is Shill Squadron!

Our goal is to keep growing as a community -- and in order to do this we need your help!

Shilling : to promote a project, often using social media or organic outreach.

We are requiring all new members to invite (25) new gamers in order to reach alpha status. We do this for two reasons : (1) by requiring each member to invite new members, we will achieve continuous growth. And (2), each new member receives 100 AGG tokens. These have real value, and the invite requirement protects us (The Alpha Fam) from manipulation and fraud.

Shilling 101

We want to make it easy for you to reach (25) invites and become an Alpha Member so we’ve made a step by step guide you can follow to finish your quest!

1. Find crypto groups on Facebook

   1. Tip : search for things like “nft gaming”, “play to earn”, or “crypto gaming”

2. Use this message to promote our channel

   1. Are you looking for a guild to join? I want to introduce Alpha Gaming Guild! We are the world’s fairest guild and are looking for new members! We are growing really fast and have partnered with multiple games! Join our Discord today to start earning your scholarship!! [insert discord link]

   2. Add this image to your post

Not getting invites quickly enough?

Try joining other guild’s and/or game’s discord servers. Usually they have a channel where you can post a shill message (see below) OR, you can DM members individually. If you are going to DM people -- just be honest. Tell them about your experience with Alpha -- tell them what you think about our guild and why you joined. Honesty goes a long way.

Finished your quest?

Congrats! You are now officially an Alpha Gaming Guild member. Your account should automatically be upgraded to a “full member”. This means you get access to our entire Discord AND you get 100 AGG tokens. These are used for voting and earn dividends each week! Be sure to explore the Discord and check out the Quests channels to start your next adventure!

Been an interesting few days.

We added ~4000 members to our discord.

I announced we would kick half of them.

And now our Twitter is suspended…

What a week!

Here’s what we are going to do about it.

1. I need everyone to contact Twitter Support and appeal our account suspension.

Everyone please tweet @ twittersupport

https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport?

Take a screen shot of this and send to #twitter-appeal.

Everyone needs to do this 5x (if you don’t want to do this we will remove you from the guild).

2. Strategic Partnerships

We recently received our first Strategic Partnership with Dragon Masters. This is HUGE for us as we are now getting paid to promote a project. Congratulations AGG!

We are going to rely on this strategy heavily to scale : the next step? Acquire as many strategic partners as possible.

Please use this spreadsheet as a reference.

We will add new games to it as we discover / validate them.

Instructions

• Choose a game from the list

• Add your Discord Handle to “Partnership Lead” column

• Join their discord and contact a mod about a “Guild Partnership”

  • Note : some projects have partnership forms. In this case, add a link to the form in the “Contacted Y/N” column

• If needed, use this message (below)

• Provide this link so they can schedule a strategy call (calendly)

Stock Message for Guild Partnership

Hi I'm the Head of Strategic Partnership of Alpha Gaming Guild. On behalf of AGG Management we want to get in touch with you to discuss a strategic partnership.

Alpha Gaming Guild is hosting a collection of Gamers, Investors, Guilds and crypto enthusiasts to create the ultimate gaming community.

If you're interested we can set up a meeting right away to discuss starting a collaboration that would bring value to both of our projects.

In Conclusion

We are undergoing massive changes -- it is important that everyone chips in and does there best to contribute. If we can not work together to overcome these obstacles, AGG is going to perish. We have worked hard to get this far -- let’s show them what we are made of.

Each team will have a MISSION and a series of OBJECTIVES.

Each week we will set a goal, that aligns with the mission + objectives.

We will then do our best to complete that goal, and at the end of the week, review our performance and see how we can improve.

Why are we doing this?

By breaking things down into one week sprints we can set clear, short term goals. Additionally, each week we will do a critical analysis of our performance. By getting direct feedback (weekly), we can quickly improve our skills. Ideally by the end of 8 weeks, we are exponentially better at our respective skills.

So, let’s begin.

Content

Mission : create valuable content so investors can increase profits.

Objectives : *currently

• Post 3 game review videos per day

  • 3 in tagalog

  • 3 in english

** NOTE : I am not an expert marketing. I would like someone else to take these ^^ (mission + objective) and do them 10x better than I have :P

Shilling

Mission : Leverage our network of scholars to virally promote projects.

Objective : Post 1x per day on various channels (reddit/4chan/etc) and use our community to promote.

We are building a large community. Our discord members can help us by upvoting posts, retweeting, etc. As we improve these capacities we will be able to offer this as a service to other projects for $$ payment or free NFT’s/Tokens

Research

Mission : Understand macro and micro trends in our market (crypto gaming) so we can profitable pick projects.

Objective : 1. Do a cumulative analysis of ALL existing games

2. Find upcoming projects that are minting NFTS

We can best use our available funds by minting/flipping funds. As we saw with starbots, we 3xd our value in ~30 minutes by minting. We can leverage our community to help get white list and increase our available capital by minting presales.

Contests

Mission : creating engaging (fun) and rewarding ($$ or NFT prizes) to give back/contribute to our community members.

Objective : Hold 1 contest per week to scale our social channels + community.

Our scholars / pre-scholars are the foundation of our guild. We need to always remember this. We should do our best to support them and reward them for their contribution.

Hopefully this makes sense -- if it doesn’t, dm me.

@teamleads : I will be having meetings with all of you over the next 1-2 days to clarify our mission/objectives and start our first sprint.

We are making some changes … big ones.

Let’s get started!

First off -- well done @rimeru and @wanderer and @christian (if you helped and I didn’t mention you, I apologize). You all created and managed some AWESOME contest. We are currently at 766 members in Discord. A week ago we were at 40 … well done :P.

With that being said … our current focus is

Scaling.

So here’s how we are going to do it.

We have 4 main teams.

Social Media

Shilling

Contests

Research

We need a team lead for all of these. Right now, as things stands it is

Social Media (None) // Shiling (Bweet) // Contests (Wanderer + Christian) // Research (Rimeru)

Everyone is able to and recommended to help as much as possible. We will be recording how you help with these tasks and using this performance to determine

• Which order we distribute scholarships

• Token distribution when we go live (yes, you all are EARNING AGG tokens just by helping!)

PS : Thanks to the folks who won scholarships. I chose to postpone this -- I think it is more important for us to invest our funds in marketing/growth right now. I wanted to publicly thank you all for taking my change of decision so well. :P You are appreciated.

So! -- we have teams, and team leads (DM me if you want to apply for SM team lead // or know someone who would be a good fit) … what are we going to do?

Each week we will host a SPRINT.

A sprint is a short, time-boxed period when a scrum team works to complete a set amount of work.

Each team will have a MISSION and we will use these sprints to accomplish key objectives. The idea is, by constraining our goals to one week periods, we can :

• set goal

• accomplish goal

• evaluate / create feedback

• repeat the following week with more success.

I will be working 1 on 1 with all of the teams this week to help craft our MISSIONS and then implementing this into practical tasks. (I’m going to DM each of you)

With that being said … I am excited to announce that we are

10 weeks from LAUNCH! LFG WAGMI!!!

haha :P so I wanted to share this for two reasons. One to put some fire under our buts and two, to segwey into this next section…

We’re launching NFT’s.

One of the reasons that I wanted to launch this project is to provide income opportunities and financial well being to those who may be “geographically excluded”. Another group of people who are financially siloed are … everyone.

If you are not a large VC fund, you probably do not have the ability to invest during the Private round in upcoming projects … we are going to change that.

How?

I’ll tell you.

We are releasing a limited round of NFTs prior to our launch (live in 2 weeks).

We will have 4 tiers

Platinum (for the big boys) : $25k+

Gold : $2k

Silver : $1k

Bronze : $75

These NFT’s will act as access passes to our paid newsletter PLUS, they will include a distribution of tokens at our Private Sale price.

This way, ANYONE, can invest in Alpha Gaming Guild as a private investor.

Additionally, it will let us build a large fund, prior to our main launch, for marketing and team costs. :P

More on this ^^ later, I just wanted to share the deets with the team!!

We’ve got many more exciting changes on the horizon -- let’s all buckle down and get ready for 10, challenging … but very rewarding weeks. I expect two things out of each and everyone of you. If you can accomplish these two things I promise you will be taken care of.

#1 : Do your very best to support your team mates and the guild.

#2 : Be honest with yourself and, each day or week, ask yourself how you can get better (and then do that) (PS: This is why I am so big on feedback and coaching. Every person has so much potential … if you simply believe in yourself and continuously strive to be better, there are really no or few limits to our capacity :P)

Ok -- that’s it for this update!

I will be contacting each team lead today (MONDAY) to discuss these changes.

For social media I will just chat w/ the group and we can discuss together until there is a team lead.

For those who do not have roles yet -- please reach out to one of the team leads! There is so much stuff to do and help with. We are going to keep doing awesome contests so you all can win prizes and EVERYONE who helps out during our GROWTH phase will be rewarded with AGG tokens, scholarships and more. Thanks so much for your help so far and keep up the great work!!

Investment

Discovery

End goal : have a web bot scrape common channels for new games (twitter, coingecko, etc).

Needs : A developer to create the bot.

Current : @rimeru + @newbie will manually scrape “sources” on a weekly basis.

Sources = coingecko (play to earn section) // dappradar // playtoearn.net

Analysis

End Goal : all users can submit new projects. They will earn a $bounty for each project we invest in.

Solution : Web Form

https://forms.gle/Coo9DNna3dgkG8ea6

Update : @analysts : we were using to much time and $$ with our current analyst formula. For this reason I have shifted this to a commission based position. You will earn $50 for discovering a project that we invest in.

** Note : if we already have researched a project it is not valid for bounty.

Voting

All guild members will be able to assist with the voting process. We are working on a web app that will handle this.

Current : share projects in discord, users react Y or N

End Goal : Dapp that lets people vote on which projects to invest in. Needs : Dev // more guild members (so we have more people voting)

Social Media

streamers : @Rimeru is managing the streamers. Our goal is to get more people to join our discord + follow our socials. All streamers should be promoting our contests (we will do a new contest every week).

@streamers : if you want to play a different game, please DM me. Your salary will be based on % of game earnings so choose the one you think will do the best!

content creators :

Current : actively creating game reviews for twitter + short format video.

Current goal : scale to (3) videos per day, posted on (twitter/tiktok/ig reelz/youtube shorts/pinterest)

Stretch goal : add a 2nd language (tagalog). Create new channels (.ph) for all of these and post 2x (3 in english and 3 in tagalog)

+ bonus : One way that we can leverage our social media following is by providing marketing services for new projects. As the research team and I discover new projects, we are going to contact them about our marketing services. At the moment, since we do not have a large follower base, the service we will offer is reddit marketing. We can create and promote posts on reddit to drive traffic to projects. Once we get some clients we will start this process.

General Update

Overall I am very impressed with how our project is going. Our main focus for the next 2 weeks will be creating our MVP dApp for the Solana Hackathon.

@SocialMedia, you will be working independently to create new content for our channels. I am purchasing a subscription to a Marketing School. You all will have access this to learn things / improve your skills.

The research team and I will be working on discovering new projects to invest in AND finding clients for our new, marketing service. I would like for each team to accomplish these goals by the end of this week (Sun Mar 6th)!

Barstool sports started out with one guy, Dave Portnoy, writing a series of newspaper columns under various pseudonyms. With a loan from his parents he created, printed and sold his own newspaper at the exact time that print media was dying. Now, after years and years of hard work, Barstool Sports is worth nearly half a billion dollars.

We, are starting in the exact opposite position. We have a team of 20+ people, we have recurring revenue being generated from our investments, we are at the forefront of an emerging market … we have everything going for us.

That doesn’t mean success is guaranteed -- but boy oh boy, if Davey could do it, so can we.

So what is it that we are going to do? And how exactly are we going to pull it off?

We are going to become the Barstool Sports of the Crypto Gaming world.

That means we will become the pre-eminent source for crypto gaming content. If someone wants to learn about a new game, they will come to us. If someone wants to watch their favorite streamer play, they will come to us. If an investor wants to learn which project to invest in, they will come to us. We are going to be the source for gaming content.

How, you may ask, will we pull this off?

EZ -- by consistently creating valuable content and serving our audience. By giving away so much alpha, that people can’t help but pay attention.

So let’s break it down.

First off, shoutout to @Andra for taking on our twitter feed. You’ve been doing a great job.

The next step will be short format video. We are going to convert our gaming reviews into 60-90 second video clips. These will then be posted on TikTok, IG, Youtube, Facebook and Pinterest. Why so many channels?? Because we F***** can… and because there are services that will automate this for us :P.

To accomplish this we need

• copywriters to create the script

• video editors to make the videos (using stock footage from the games)

• Voice over people

  • Guess what!? We are going to launch in 4 languages!

    • English

    • Tagalog

    • German

    • Spanish or French

• Social media manager to handle the content / schedule it in our planner

Goals : we will discuss this as as team but I want to release 3 game reviews per day (as video format)

@Analysts : are yall getting a little nervous? Seems like we’ve got our work cut out for us!

In addition to being this bad a** social media conglomerate, we are also going to have a functional gaming guild. As you all know, we need to be the best at a discovering and analyzing new games to keep our guild at the top. To do this, we have to improve our skills and gain more experience.

How are we going to do this?

By analyzing every crypto game in existence (or at least those on coingecko).

Coingecko has a list of all the crypto games they list -- starting from the smallest ones, we are each going to personally review every single game (why not split it up? -- ill tell you) and then we are going to discuss each game. For the next 2-3 weeks we will spend 90 minutes a day (Mon - Fri) discussing these games.

One analysts will share their game review, and the rest of us will debate it. We will allot 15 minutes per game, reviewing 6-10 games per day (the bad ones will go quick IMO).

Why are we going to do this? The only way you know if your ideas are good is by having other people critique them. Not only will this hone our abilities as analysts, it will also massively increase our collective understanding as a group. By reviewing all available games we will

1. see what kind of games are successful and understand why

2. More importantly : figure out which games, that fit these characteristics, are still early stage and undervalued.

At the same time, I expect each of you to spend one more hour, each day, discovering new games. As I discussed, in previous posts, we are focused on :

1. Prelaunch games with upcoming token/nft sales

2. Existing games with scholarships that are still early (lower than 1000 market cap (meaning 1000-3000))

In summary : we are going to analyze every single game that exists (on coingecko) and debate why they are good / bad

and…

we are going to continue our game discovery, focused on NFT launches and early stage games with scholarships.

We have some exciting new additions to the team! I will share more details in our discord. If you have friends, please add them to the group!

PS : We are launching our streaming team this week

So! Even though the markets rekt our position, it also means that we are in a prime buying opportunity. For that reason we are going to focus on getting funded. What will this look like?

• @me : finish white paper / review and submit

• @team : create a pitchdeck we can share with investors

• @team : +gig : create a list of 100 vcs/angel investors/incubators in the space (capture their email address)

As you may have guessed, we are going to raise funds. Why? To scale our idea we need a lot of scholars (if you don’t understand this you neeeeeeed to read our previous documents) and two, we don’t even know if our idea is good. How better to find this out than to ask existing industry professionals.

** I will be discussing the pitch deck with the content team. If you want to help with the “create list” gig, send me a DM

Focus Numero 2

In addition to raising funds, we are going to put a heavy focus on social media. This is for a few reasons.

1. Building our community builds our a “social credit” when applying to VCs

2. Having a larger audience allows us to leverage our network for things like

   1. getting whitelisted

   2. free tokens / NFT’s in exchange for promotions

3. AND! Most importantly, we can start a new revenue stream : a paid newsletter.

I will be working with the social media team to scale up our efforts. @Andra has been doing a GREAT job with twitter. We are going to add short format videos to our content schedule and post these on tiktok/IG reelz/Youtube shorts etc. My goal is to publish 2-3 game reviews per day (both on twitter and video format)

We are going to start producing a weekly newsletter, highlighting upcoming gaming products. Our offer will be (lmk what you think about this) get 1 month free : after the end of the month we will ask for feedback, and, what the customer values our service at!

Lastly! @analysts, we are doing a good job -- but we need to shift our focus. With our positions as they are we realllly need to bring in a few wins. For this reason we are exciting Pegaxy and shifting funds to other games. I should have realized this earlier but Pegaxys tokenomics scale too quickly : what I mean by this is the # of horses is growing so rapidly the token is likely to deflate. Combine this with their subpar gameplay, (it’s just not fun) and you get the current market scenario. Maybe it will pump again but we are looking for greener pastures.

So! We are now focused on two things :

1. Creating game reviews for our social media team

2. (most important) finding upcoming NFT sales to invest in

I honestly think our 10x’s are going to come from early investment in NFT sales. We are going to continue working on our standard analysis but keep an eye out for games that have not yet launched.

I will be contacting all teams in the next few days to schedule meetings and get the ball moving on this new plans. Please, I really mean this when I say this, think about my ideas critically and share your feedback. I do NOT want you to simply accept my ideas because I am “boss man” -- critique my ideas as you would a colleague and make them better!

The analysts and I have been working on creating a list of +EV trades -- but the beast that is cyclical volatility has reared it’s ugly head and left our positions … swamped.

With that being said, we are doing great! (positivity is powerful)

I want to take this opportunity to update the team, and the world -- with our intentions.

This is a DAO and should be managed as such. For that reason we are going to be changing some things. Let me explain why I came to this decision.

I’ve always struggled with scaling early stage organizations. It seems I hit a wall where we are pre-revenue (not so much in this case) and in order to scale we need to bring on additional staff. As run rate increases, so do my levels of anxiety -- I struggle to make that next key hire out of fear of failure. So, in order to mitigate this issue I’ve decide to make a substantial change in the function of our organization -- we’re going to be a DAO … lol

What I mean by this, is, instead of paying people fixed salaries, we will use a revenue share model to determine pay. It is the most fair, in my opinion, and it allows us to theoretically operate indefinitely as we progress. I will, in the next few days, create a pay scale for the organization in the form of : role = % revenue(after I submit it, you will be able to share your own opinion and we will take the aggregate of everyone’s vote).

Additional notes : we are bringing on an accountant / bookkeeper. Another one of my neuroses is a dread of accounting -- so in this case I will delegate the task and run far, far away -- until I must return for bi-weekly analysis. This will allow us to track our weekly or bi-weekly revenue AND help us determine the efficacy of our trades.

Another thing I want to share with you all is the overall mission of this project : I had intentionally chosen to withhold this information as I wanted to leave it as a surprise -- and let this day be that surprise.

My goal is to retire you.

Huh?

Literally. I want to create an organization that creates so much profits that the individuals who work in it are able to retire after a short period of time. Most businesses expect their employees work 40 years and then receive a pension … my goal is 18 months.

Whatt???

That’s crazy … I know. But I think it’s possible. Let me explain further -- when I mean retire, I mean have a sustainable source of passive income that covers your base living expenses. We’re not talking lambos and mansions, but rather UBI (universal basic income) to the point that you can pursue your goals and dreams without having to worry about the drudgery of short term employment. In addition, we aim to provide low cost loans so that you can : gain further education, start a business, buy property, etc.

Ultimately, we are a philanthropic organization disguised as a gaming guild.

So… how the heck are we going to pull this off?

Well, first off : we need to get funded. As “depressing” as the current market state is for our portfolio, it also has created the perfect buying opportunity with a ton of AAA projects available at 50% of their normal value. We are going to be focusing on that in the next few weeks.

Additionally, we are going to leverage our research and social media teams to create additional streams of revenue. This has been a part of my diabolical :P plan all along -- but let me share it with you now. Our success as a guild is predicated on our ability to discover and analyze new games. We’re competing against the market, betting that we can choose winners better than average. If we can accomplish this, which I’m very confident we can, why not leverage this knowledge in multiple ways? So, to give us some recurring revenue AND expand our brands reach, we are going to launch …

a paid newsletter.

Lol … so it might not be revolutionary, but it’s definitely functional, and when done right, very profitable.

To do this we are going to start by (welcoming suggestions as well)

• converting our game reviews into short format videos (90 seconds or less)

• These will get cross posted onto

  • Tiktok

  • IG Reels

  • Youtube Shorts

  • Pinterest

With enough content we can create an empire of entertainment, and in doing so, position ourselves as a market experts. I plan on offering a 1 month free trial to our newsletter, and, if everything works according to plan, generating massive amounts of recurring revenue with it.

Note to everyone : we are aiming to build a $100 million market cap business. Please, please, please keep this in mind when you are doing your work. We need to exude a combination of professionalism, lolz and excitement (it is the crypto world). We can do this, it has been done (YGG), we simply have to continue to do good work, day after day, week after week.

So, with that being said, let me summarize this manifesto :

We are going full DAO. We are going to switch our pay scale over to a revenue share model and will vote on how pay will be distributed.

I want you to quit your jobs. The goal of this organization is to provide financial freedom to those who work with us. We are aiming for 18 months until you retire. Maybe it will be more, maybe it will be less. As you contribute you will earn DAO tokens, which provide recurring income vis a vi our profits. More on this later

We’re going to be the Barstool Sports of Crypto Gaming. Why not? If El Prez can do it, why can’t we? We are creating a large amount of knowledge through our research. Not only can we capitalize on our knowledge gain via a newsletter (or some other subscription model), an expansive social media following will allow us to create partnerships with up and coming games (free NFTs or paid sponsors)

It’s a lofty goal -- I know … and to be honest, I don’t know if we will accomplish what we’re setting out to do … but what I do know is that it is possible AND, that if we even come close to achieving these things we will make a positive impact (and most likely acquire new skills, experience and relationships that will benefit us far into the future). I’ve made up my mind -- so I’m stepping up the plate and going to swing for the fences. Will you?

PS: Solana is currently having a hackathon -- we’re currently ~3 weeks behind our competition with just over one week left to submit a project. Let’s get busy.

First off, let me express, I am very happy with the progress that we have made so far. The purpose of these updates is to

1. Allow me to continue to iterate our processes and share these ideas with you

2. Create a retroactive roadmap that shows the progress we have made (looking at you future investors)

So far we have a functional research team that has discovered over 60 games. We have a functional system for reviewing said games and a system for choosing which ones to invest in (accuracy tbd :P).

We are going to continue to work on these systems to streamline our processes and improve our overall efficacy.

In the short term , changes I would like to make are :

1. create separate voting categories for :

   1. New Games (selling tokens or NFTs)

   2. Existing Games

The reason for this is such :

The income potential for NFT purchases is very high. It’s realistic that, when done well, we can 10-20x our investment ; however, this usually requires … time. With the right project you may see a 3-5x initially after token sale, but in that sweet spot of 6-12 weeks after launch you can earn those magical 10x+ gains. With our current NFT investments (chumbivalley, cryptounicorns), we bought in after the initial sale, and unfortunately, near their ATH. While, I still think these will be good buys in the long run, we forfeit our opportunity to 10x WHILE we still are stuck holding an asset, waiting for the game to launch.

Side note : we should, in most cases, exclude games that do not have income potential in their early stage roadmap. I think that this exposes a lack of foresight / awareness on the part of their team. Most of the games that are doing well right now have incorporated early stage earning potential (often through idle games) prior to the launch of their main game. This is imperative to maintain traction with so many projects being launched.

So … for the above reason, we are going to create two separate investment groups.

NFT sales (+ token sales) will make up approximately 30% of our portfolio. Our goal with these is to buy at mint and sell after a 10x (or more). We may consider hodling into game launch (for the purpose of further appreciation, having breeding pairs, etc.) but our main goal is asset appreciation.

Our second category will focus on games “post launch” that have income potential. We may include tokens in this group but the majority of our holdings will be income producing assets with a preference towards those that our scholars can utilize. This will be the “revenue generating” component of our fund, subsequently creating the funds which we use for buying new assets.

$$ flow will look as such.

70% of fund : starts off as USDC

Team researchers and votes on scholarship / income opportunities.

Distributes funds as such.

Income Asset Class Production = Passive income

30%+ (including on going income) distributed to new NFT launches

Each launch will receive a 3% allocation (or 10% of available funds)

This will go on a rolling basis

When NFT’s from the latter category are sold, funds will be added to our NFT/Scholarship fund and when profits are taken from NFT/Scholarship they will be added to our NFT Mint fund.

Hopefully that makes sense -- it does in my mind. Maybe we will create a diagram in the future.

TLDR : Main fund buys/hodls NFT’s for income production

Income produced used to buy NFT’s on mint for speculation.

Profits from these are used to increase overall fund.

Right now we are coming off a windfall from the recent Crabada update -- our assets 2xd overnight and we took advantage of that, hyper breeding the Gem class. We are going to take $25,000 from this and invest in Ninneko, an up and coming “axie-esque” game.

The remaining profits will be used to :

-invest in additional scholarship opportunities

-create our bankroll for new nft mints

-create a “treasure chest” for fund growth and expansion

We are currently in the planning stages for a proper token sale and we will need funds for this. I am going to start siphoning some profits for this (approx $10,000 total) and the remainder will continue to be reinvested for our growth!

Great work so far @team!

If you are interested in helping us grow, get in touch on Twitter @Agamingguild

This update is for the team, but since we are a DAO -- you are on the team to.

This is week two, we’re deep in the trenches now boys and girls and boy oh boy are am I excited.

Last week we spent countless hours, discovering and researching new games. We went deep into the depths of the internet, well mostly twitter, and found some of the top, upcoming, play to earn games that exist. If you (the internet) could see our list you might not even need a valentines date for later -- that’s how much alpha we’ve got.

And with that, I will end the not so humble brag of our team, and address our goal for the coming week : do it all over again, this time better. :P

Working together we were able to research and prevalidate a lot of games quickly. We then, by using “weighted voting”, were able to effectively determine which games were the best. We are going to do this again, except for this time we are going to focus on games with scholarships.

The scholars are the backbone of our organization : all of you must know this being scholars yourselves in addition to analysts, so we are aiming to increase our :

1. number of available scholarship opportunities (aka your pay :P)

2. increase our total number of scholars

To do this we must, find games worthy of our investment and raise additional capital for said investment. I will be toiling away in the trenches, searching far and wide for VC funding while you all will pull the metaphorical sword from the stone, finding the best, upcoming P2E games.

We will use the same format as last week :

0-5 for our catagory scores plus a 0-10 overall score.

Please include a detailed explanation of why you made these decisions (@otheranalysts, you can and should review these. Let’s check our teammates work and learn from them)

We will have a team meeting at end of week and use a similar voting method to determine which games to invest in.

List of games will be added in Discord.

Happy Hunting Alpha Team :P

My name’s Metama and I’m a gay fish.

I swim in the sea and do other fish shit.

With that out of the way -- let me describe what I’m doing.

I, as supreme leader of this soon to be leaderless DAO, am creating a DAO : more specifically, a DAO focused on the Play-To-Earn gaming space. We are aiming, not to be the best, or the biggest -- but just better than ok. We don’t have to beat our competition -- just the majority of traders :p.

Play-To-Earn gaming is surely going to be an expanding microcosm of the crypto space in the future. With the continued growth of the gaming market, and the advent on own-able in game items (NFT’s) I think there is absolutely 0% chance that this market does not expand. With that perspective, I’ve chosen to literally “bet the house on it” (I didn’t have a house to start with but you get the point)

So -- let me introduce Alpha Gaming Guild -- if you read enough of these posts you’ll understand theirs a cool easter egg there :P.

We are aiming to be one of the worlds most above average gaming guild. Why not the best? Well maybe we will become the best -- but the fact is there are some established guilds out there with tons of financial backing -- and tbh, I don’t think we need to be the best -- or the largest. The one thing I want us to be … is the most impactful.

Most gaming guilds provide scholars with opportunities to earn income via game play : a wonderful opportunity to provide or supplement income for those without high paying jobs. But that’s where the buck ends for most of them -- a continued existence with slightly above average pay. That’s wonderful -- but it can be done better.

So, without completely ruining my intentional drip feed of content, I’ll share this : we are going to turn scholars into the very guides that lead them through metaverse.

Let’s craft some fishing poles.
