Just tested an amount that got you enough points for a diamond badge eh

[sinful kestrel]

How many diamond badges exist

[plain delta]

And a Mozart skin. It was a weird coincidence how the points values just added up.

[ripe pewter]

I really hope my barnbridge dash holo pays my retirement also haha

[humble wave]

Goooooooooooood morning everyone. Hope you have a great Thursday. 😎

[fierce vine]

Yo

[humble wave]

What's up? Guess should be night there

[fierce vine]

Yeah 11 pm and I have a meeting in four hours lol. About to pass out soon

[humble wave]

Haha it's still Wednesday there? Then I'm talking to your from the future 😂

[fierce vine]

In that case do I short or long Btc? But yeah Wednesday still lol

[humble wave]

😁 sleep tight Matt. Crush the meeting

[rain thorn]

Yes 😁

[real tiger]

Morning

[ripe pewter]

[humble wave]

Morning my brother who's having fun in Ibiza 😁

[humble wave]

[idle terrace]

Random question but are there any asshole illuvials? Like any villains?

[sinful kestrel]

👀

You mean legendary illuvials?

[idle terrace]

Assholes/villains/legendary are synonymous for you?

[sinful kestrel]

I’m just kidding I know nothing just wanted to say something

[humble wave]

Are villains A-holes? 😂 what makes the heroes then? Anti-A-Holes? 😁

[sinful kestrel]

Prob the villain of the story, prob some gigantic beast who terrorizes the land

Assuming there would be one

Like end boss

[idle terrace]

Uhh…yeah in most cases.

[humble wave]

Haha nice terminology 😁

[severe igloo]

I know a LOT of heroes that are grade a A-holes... Iron man, Dr. Strange, Batman.....

And don't you dare say Batman is not an A-hole. Guy is the definition of hangry

[humble wave]

What's the reason you consider them as A-Hs? 😁

[severe igloo]

I don't nreally feel like I'd have to explain the first two right? hahahaha

Ironman is a F-boy, thinks he is smarter then ANYONE else (which makes for hilarious moments with Thor and Cap but still he is a meanie) Dr. Strange... is an egotistical cynical guy who believes he IS wisdom and Batman is just angry at everything... allthough.. whenever he gets laid he softens up

ps: I forgot who was waiting on low gas but... THIS IS YOUR MOMENT

[humble wave]

Haha. Wise asses and egotistical mainiacs 😂 yeah I have to agree with you. What about modest heroes? And useless ones.

[severe igloo]

Falcon... USELESS. Just a dude with a big kite. Oh and Dead eye? Bro.. sit down. Go chill at your farm. NOBODY LIKES YOU.... ahum... yess well. Cap is an A-hole of a different breed... you think he is modest but he is so righteous ugh... Then again, I like Chaotic characters a lot better then Lawful ones

[humble wave]

Haha. You should have been a critic 😂 any favorite characters?

[severe igloo]

Let's see... Arrow? please... Flash? the original character is braggy af. Superman... yikes. Oh I kinda like Wonderwoman... she seems to have some empathy, Spiderman as well, though he is a real douche when it comes to MJ

[humble wave]

SPIDER-MAN has girl problems. It's in his blood I guess

[severe igloo]

Would you believe the Dr and Iron man are fave? Combine it with Banner and the Banter is amazing. Black Panther is also very humble, although that took a heavy beatdown to shine through lol

I just think that to be an actual hero, you cannot be the nicest guy in the room. Tough decisions need to be made which could be paralyzing if you are not at least half-crazy. Also you need to be able to think like the villain. Part of why Batman is such a great story is the fact that it shines through everytime how difficult it is for Batman to walk the line between a righteous vigilante and just some murderer with expensive toys

[humble wave]

Hmmm. It's nice to know the way people view all these villains and antagonists

I wish my students knew them as well. 😫

[severe igloo]

what are you teaching?

[humble wave]

I teach English to none-natives, but as my students are mostly Turkish/Arabs, I guess culture prevents them from watching these superhero movies. I haven't had a student who would know and want to speak about them.

[severe igloo]

That is lso because Marvel and DC are mostly western (read American) items. Several russian or eastern european friends of mine are not well acquainted with them as well. Try to find Arab superheroes or look towards Bollywood. Similar cultures to some extent

The thing is: American superheroes have a specific set of morals which fit in "free" western society that clash very heavily with other cultures.

Even for me as European, Cap'n America rubs me the wrong way

so these brands never really got traction in large parts of the planet. It would help them to understand storytelling and story building to see these movies and series, but it would be easier for you I guess to find local examples. Arab stories are ridiculously rich. So are stories from the African continent. Equally if not richer then our rehashed hero stories

[humble wave]

Funny thing is Arabs and Turks love Manga. 😐 they follow animes like something I can't describe

[severe igloo]

because Japanese culture suits them a lot better.

It all boils down to social structure and core behavior. For instance: Strict segregation of men and women is quite normal in both cultures whereas we don't really get that and find it oldfashioned

[humble wave]

Probably, but not all Japanese animes are suitable for under 18s. They love them and still hate American ones.

[severe igloo]

Warlord heritage

[severe igloo]

You have read the Thousand and one tales by Sheherazade right? Not really under 18 as well

[humble wave]

Yeah. But culture is a difficult thing to understand. I guess religion also has a hand in it

[severe igloo]

It does. Funny thing is that muslim society is portrayed as very pious, but if people only knew. There is so much depth there and it shows in artwork and story telling a lot. But I am a fan of every type of story telling so ... yea...

[humble wave]

When you tell Arabs (mostly young generation) America is bad, they wash their hands of it. 😂

[humble wave]

I can see that. The way you explained and described, I wish I could receive that from my students

[severe igloo]

The problem is that nowadays people don't read. They watch series but series fill in all the blanks that should trigger your imagination I suppose

[agile tinsel]

The Boyz

😎

[severe igloo]

you mean in terms of A-hole supes?

[agile tinsel]

Yeah haha

Still my favourite series related to superheroes though

[severe igloo]

they are absolute monsters haahahhaha

[agile tinsel]

Invicible is also good if you don't mind cartoons

[severe igloo]

Wildly unrelated to this subject: Will there be any puzzles to solve within the game?

[humble wave]

I have done everything to press them to think more

[severe igloo]

It's like eating. You can offer them food, it is up to them to take a bite 👍🏾

[humble wave]

Yeah sure. I know their problems but they don't accept it. It's mostly religion-based

[hexed wren]

I ridiculously liked The Punisher🤔

[humble wave]

You liked $20 too 😁

[hexed wren]

Who wouldn't like $20 😂

for a short period of time ofc

[humble wave]

Isn't that enough to see us bleed already? What more do you want 😂

[hexed wren]

but i have no more $ to spend, so not me anymore

[humble wave]

Haha. The same applies to most 😁

[hexed wren]

The Punisher, man😈

[humble wave]

I kinda liked the movies more. The series was a bit far fetched

[hexed wren]

films are too short😂

[humble wave]

yeah but series don't come with the same budget so they cut a lot from the action and add towards the talk

[hexed wren]

well, sometimes it is interesting to listen to the talks... even in such bloody shooters

[severe igloo]

I'd say especially in those shooters. I think it ws nice they tried to setup the Defenders. Kinda sad it did not continue but Jessica was dead, Luke Cage... well his story kinda ended and Defender and Daredevil can only get punched so many times before it is game over I suppose

Oh and with dead I meant boring hahaha NOt even sure I finished that last season which is rare for me

All that series needed.. was the Shredder and the Turtles lol

[muted whale]

Hmm I saw that new leaked character all over Reddit earlier. The moth that doesn't eat!

[severe igloo]

Poodle Moth

[unkempt dirge]

I get so claustrophobic in this server for some reason.

[real tiger]

Moth is pretty coooool

Altho i hate moths

[hearty veldt]

there was something interesting about moths but I forgot what.. like truly stunning

[glossy rampart]

Art is sick

Need to pick up some more ILV

[humble wave]

@real tiger

[humble wave]

How many more?

https://tenor.com/view/mothra-monsters-in-earth-moth-nonster-amazing-wings-gif-13995522

[timber vector]

when does the game come out for those who didn't buy anything?

Thanks

[summer bobcat]

I bought close to 50 more trying to drop my average cost 😅

[humble wave]

So date for staking is still a mystery right?

Yeah so no specific date yet. Ok. I was planning to buy a bit more b4 it

[plain delta]

Only in the sense that we still have a few things to finalise. If I knew the date those would be done I would give you a date. We won't give a lot of warning though when launching.

I've made a SUPER CLEAR faq for everyone, it's getting looked at by the mods now to make sure it makes sense.

That will go out before staking.

[runic hull]

Oooo dope

Finally some passive ILV

[twilit junco]

Can't wait 🙂 But take the time you need, it's comfy over at XYZ as well 😄

[humble wave]

Perfect. That’s just perfect. I love it when everything is proof read and ready. Thx Aaron

[real tiger]

@plain delta how is the game demo doing

[humble wave]

So you just launch it and say hey guys ho stake 😁 it'll be cool

[humble wave]

Money on Mondays is always appreciated 😁

[plain delta]

We had people begging for weeks to get the preILV to ILV conversion done. With that, I just did the conversion and left it. Took more than 40 hours for people to notice that they had gotten their ILV.

[twilit talon]

😃 Congrats Eden, I came in 2nd 🤪 , do you know who's 3rd

[humble wave]

Hmmm. So we have to literally be ready and keep on following the announcements and Tweeter. I am ready. But please do it after Monday. Let us first collect XYZs.

[sleek cave]

Click NFTs already doled out?

Clix..

[plain delta]

Since Kieran is involved, you'll get notice. If it were up to me I'd implement it and then see how long it took for people to work it out. But I'm... a dickhead.

[humble wave]

Haha. I'm keeping myself from laughing in class 😂 can't wait to start the journey

[rain thorn]

I don’t, but I’m sure he’s from here

[severe igloo]

LOL nah, just a gamer. A lot of great stuff in games were placed to be found by the ultimate lootwhores.
Truth? I am happy there are Kieran's to spoil EVERYTHING muhahahhahahaa

[next surge]

We bottomed out yet

[humble wave]

Wanna add more? 😁

[next surge]

Maybe

[twilit junco]

For those with Ledgers in use....does anyone sit at home with a "spare ledger" just for precaution? 😄 I might be a bit too paranoid, but I'm considering to order 1-2 spare ledgers to just have around to be prepared for some weird future where I couldn't get a hand on a new ledger when my old one somehow breaks 😄

[humble wave]

It’s not bad to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Now let me throw something at you: What if Ledger goes bankrupt or closes down business 😁

[sage falcon]

Yeah lol

[twilit junco]

That's what I'm trying to understand. Even with spare ledgers, are you out of luck then because something on Ledgers side needs to run for your wallet to work? If so, is there ANY wallet out there that is not tied to the future of an individual company?

[marble oyster]

Lol, a lot, and I mean a lot of people would be very anxious

[humble wave]

Nope. I don’t think so, unless you make a hard wallet in your own garage 😁

[humble wave]

Haha. Ikr. But that’s far from happening (i hope) 😁

[marble oyster]

Well, another hack and who knows

[humble wave]

Ours is in MetaMask. I don’t think it’ll be easy. They have to hack both Ledger, it’s password, need to have access to the device and also need to hack MM as well. Doable?

[twilit junco]

.... not what I wanted to hear. Hmm...I need to look into cold wallet coding/creation...lol. I'm just a small fish right now risking maybe $25.000 in crypto, but since I expect some of that to increase in value and plan to add bigger sums every month...I hate the feeling to be dependant on a company when it comes to my funds.

[humble wave]

Besides, they actually hacked Shopify. (As I heard, and not the crypto database)

[marble oyster]

Just some small Trojan and boem

[humble wave]

There’s always a company involved. Even your hot wallet is from a company. Yeah, no government can access it or block it, but your money is still in the net. But that’s also the case with your credit card, yet you trust the bank.

[twilit junco]

I don't trust the bank. Just haven't found the best way to avoid them yet 😄

[humble wave]

Just a small one 😂 you destroyed their security

[humble wave]

They will always be there and you will always have your credit card. Where’s the money? Still in the net.

I don’t think hacking Cold Wallets would be that easy as they need to have access to the device itself. The keys are not in the internet. That’s what they all say

[real tiger]

Cold storage is safest u csn have

[marble oyster]

Does it matter if you get their security hacked, just bad news a few times and companies don't last long, except Microsoft, they can do whatever they want

[humble wave]

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Even MM is difficult to hack and hacking can be a simple act of the owners negligence

[real tiger]

Yea there is always a risk

I use ledger personally

[humble wave]

Yeah, but still it’s not that simple that a one time hack will wipe you off the face of the earth, yet it can make you more cautious.Lots of platforms have been hacked and they’re still functional

[twilit junco]

If cold wallet is the best I can do for now, then that's what I'll have to be fine with 😬 😄 Got the Ledger X set up now, got my recovery phrase stored in a Steel Capsule from Ledger...so aside from maybe getting a spare Ledger as a precaution and a second Steel Capsule to store my Recovery Phrase another safe place and then we'll just say that nothing ever happens 😄

[lofty knoll]

Your seed phrase is the only important thing

The devices doesnt matter

[humble wave]

I’m quite confident that nothing would happen to the crypto data base (I want to stay optimistic 😁) unless the company goes bankrupt (which is also unlikely)

[twilit junco]

As long as Ledger is around somehow ^^

[humble wave]

I don’t think anything will happen to the company. It’s still one of the top cold wallet manufacturers. Maybe not the first due to the data leak.

[twilit junco]

Yeah it should be fine, and I'm sure if something ever happens there will be a way to move your funds in time. Also, always the chance to diversify and keep some funds on a trezor or whatever other company looks good and offers cold wallets.

Probably what I'll do whenever the amount is worth it

[humble wave]

One cold wallet for each hot wallet. Sounds expensive 😁 wanna buy the capsule for each? Even more expensive

[twilit junco]

Well, I'm going for millionaire+, you don't? 😄 I'm not gonna care about a couple hundred bucks for something that is supposed to safe keep hundreds of thousands if not more 😄

[humble wave]

Haha, unless you lock your ILV through ledger for a year, and in the middle of it Ledger stops working 😂

[real tiger]

Then u buy a new one

[humble wave]

I meant the company 😁

All this discussion was based on a WHAT IF…so I’m exaggerating 😁

@twilit junco by the way, is the capsule worth it?

[twilit junco]

It was, as expected, a bit of work to set everything up (not difficult just fiddly) and with 24 words you only store the first 4 letters each so if you ever need to recover you need the - I think BIP39 - word list where every four initial letters only can point a one unique word.

Overall, I'm satisfied though. Handy, safe and not readable easily. Looks good to me

[humble wave]

So there are different types?

[lofty knoll]

Even if ledger dissapear you don't lose your money

You just enter your seed in any other compatible wallet and problem solved

[humble wave]

Really? So i can use the ledger seed in a Trezor? Is it even possible?

[lofty knoll]

Yes

You can use it in metamask

My ether wallet

Any of those wallets

[humble wave]

Ah you mean since the money is in MM and the seeds work in any Cld Wallet, you can extract even if the company disappears. Interesting. Didn’t know that

[agile tinsel]

Anyone know if I can use Metamask on mobile

?

[humble wave]

Yes u can. But it sucks

[real tiger]

The 24 words or the actual 256 one

[twilit junco]

That's amazing, didn't know that either. Then even if - hypothetical worst case - "Ledger goes away" the funds are not gone because you can just get a Trezor or whatever else and use those as long as the Recovery Phrase is safe. Awesome. Then I'll just get another Capsule to keep the Phrase safe and don't necessarily need a "precaution ledger" at home. Worst case there is, I'll have to wait a few days to get a new cold wallet if anything ever happens 🙂

[vagrant valve]

Blockchain Tech

[humble wave]

Yeah. It was new to me too. So you don’t have to do anything. Just need to get another wallet in case Ledger went bust. Cool.

[twilit junco]

That made my day. Not dependant on a single company after all 😄 Now I just need to figure out where to hide/store my phrase 😄

[vagrant valve]

Almost any wallet. even the app ones

[humble wave]

Hmm. Like using Trust wallet seed to get into MM?

[vagrant valve]

on paper and never on phone or computer. Always go old school for storage of seed phrases.

[vagrant valve]

yes

[twilit junco]

Yeah that I got. I already have one Steel Capsule from Ledger and will get a second one to have a copy. Just need to figure out WHERE to put them ^^

[humble wave]

My mom said ok now take a picture and send it to me and I’ll keep it for you. And I was like 😑

[humble wave]

That’s weirdly cool.

[vagrant valve]

She trying to hack you

lol

[humble wave]

Haha. Nah. She just didn’t think it through 😂 made me laugh for 15 mins

[lofty knoll]

24

[lofty knoll]

Seed is the only important thing. As I always say.

Never take a picture or screenshot or note digitally

Pen and paper or titanium

The device/wallet you use is not important

[humble wave]

@lofty knoll you are the man. In one pm I learned something so important. 👍

[humble wave]

When $40 😁

[real tiger]

Soon

Staking, game demo, partnerships etc all coming soon

[humble wave]

Yeah. At this point the price is irrelevant actually. I love to see the fundamentals getting stronger than ever and community grows like something we’ve never seen.

[real tiger]

Yea exactly

I am here for the long run

[humble wave]

As are we all (not all maybe most. Can’t speak for many) 😁

[real tiger]

Enough paper hands lately :p

[humble wave]

Haha. Cha cha the stabber 😁

[real tiger]

Even from some whales

👐💎 for me

[humble wave]

There’s no doubt about that. You have proven yourself 😁

[real tiger]

Selling here is like selling btc at in the bear market bottom

[twilit talon]

You can speak for me if you want ☺️

[humble wave]

Yeah. If APR is good, i don’t think I’ll ever sell the initial investment. I might just play with the rewards if they are high enough. I don’t ever wanna be zero.

[humble wave]

Oh I don’t dare. Your position is fixed and everyone knows it. 😁 strong as ever

[real tiger]

We have a nice core group community already

Good to see

[humble wave]

💎 everywhere

[real tiger]

Well see how many 👐💎 are left at 500€

[humble wave]

Well most will be locked (if in fact it happens this year).

[real tiger]

Staking ssooooooonnnnn

Can almost touch it

[humble wave]

Hope it’s after Monday 😁

[twilit talon]

😆

[timber ore]

ive slowly almost doubled my ILV position past week

hopefully it goes well

we all want the dip to buy more but when the dip actually happens its funny how psychologically its hard to buy sometimes

[hexed wren]

needs some practice. especially not to buy highs!

[humble wave]

Mostly that practice means having patience. Something that is actually quite difficult to maintain

[hexed wren]

hypes are so contagious😱

[humble wave]

Hype and FOMO are why you lose money 😁

[hexed wren]

or at least don't get what could...

[next surge]

Did chacha sell?

[sinful kestrel]

How much did chacha have before

[humble wave]

Dumped some thousands before, but recently, no idea. Apparently was planning to pay for SNX debts or something

[real tiger]

He had 33k

Dumped 10k

23k left

[sinful kestrel]

Wtf

23k is still a lot lol

That’s like 1000x what I got

Is he like part of the team or is he some crazy investor

[red geyser]

That's MEEEEEE!

[red geyser]

Congrats man!

[red geyser]

I've heard that some will be lighter and some will be darker

Hes just a whale

Always some whales in town

I hate my mom telling me to sleep at 11

Don’t you?

[sinful kestrel]

Oh

Well I mean when you did live with your mom at least ahha

[red geyser]

can't wait to tell my family I'm making more crypto making memes!

[twilit talon]

This is true, but I never listened 😉

[sinful kestrel]

im midly kidding btw my mom doesnt enforce curfew these days haha

i also just moved back in after finishing undergrad

planning on teaching english in japan end of year

[twilit talon]

My little meme was my first attempt at making one and my husband and his crypto friends laughed at me....but who is laughing now 🤩 🤣

[humble wave]

Wait. How old are you again?

[red geyser]

They voted for you!!!! nice

[sinful kestrel]

i dont think ive ever mentioned my age haha

[twilit talon]

That is cool 👍

[humble wave]

Yeah. That’s what got me triggered to ask 😁 from one teacher to another

[sinful kestrel]

oh what do you teach bro

[twilit talon]

no, they laughed at me 😆

[humble wave]

English in Turkey

[sinful kestrel]

ooh

respect

a lot of my friends just graduated too and they got jobs lined up but they said if they could theyd do what im doing

but too responsible

[red geyser]

hmm but some ilv holders definitely voted for you! well and eden and I too

[humble wave]

Teaching in Japan could be fun. Would love to do that myself if I could.

[twilit talon]

Yes they sure did!

[sinful kestrel]

you can

i say drop everything youre doing rn and just go for it

[humble wave]

I did for my bro Eden 😁 pushed him to second and he flew from there

[humble wave]

Can’t. Weak passport

[sinful kestrel]

i see i see

ill send you pics when i get there

so you can live in pictures

[red geyser]

thats nice i guess... could have voted for mine too... lol

[humble wave]

Oh please do

[humble wave]

Haha. Could I have done more voting? I thought I could do just once for one person

[red geyser]

nah everyone had 3 votes to use

no worries!

[humble wave]

I only voted once. Could have spared the other two I guess. Didn’t know. Next time hit me up 😁

[twilit talon]

Some I saw split their vote

[twilit talon]

Ok, didn't know that.

[humble wave]

Really? That’s possible? Guess there’re still so many things I don’t know

[twilit talon]

Yes, someone voted for me and #4

[sinful kestrel]

Hey guys are there gonna be more giveaways in the future

[vagrant valve]

Think so. The clix one should be end of month

[humble wave]

Can’t wait for Satoshi Staker. Some deep analysis and longer dedicated video towards people in Crypto

[real tiger]

Crrrristiano

[humble wave]

Yeah. I guess he’ll be waiting to release a vid after YF and a demo. His videos are like 10 mins when he goes deep. For now there’s not much to say. It’s just on paper

[sinful kestrel]

What’s that

[humble wave]

NFT distribution. 100 limited edition I guess

[vagrant valve]

its in announcements if you scroll up.

[sinful kestrel]

Oooh

Wait all you have to do is be a member?

No sign up sheet?

[vagrant valve]

twitter also

[humble wave]

I guess you have to follow ILV on Tweeter, be here and (I think your Tweeter needs to be connected to discord. Emphasis on I THINK)

[sinful kestrel]

Kk

Thx

Gonna go follow rn

[humble wave]

Wait you still haven’t followed ILV on Tweeter? RUDE 😁

[real tiger]

Maybe he does multiple 👀

[humble wave]

I hope. Can’t wait to see him talk about it multiple times. Especially now that he is promoting his channel in different languages, which means more people and different communities will join him too.

[sinful kestrel]

Sorry it’s my first day

[humble wave]

It’s ok. I was joking

[idle terrace]

New computer came today im so excited but also very hungover

What a time to be alive

[vagrant valve]

i feel you

[idle terrace]

Not looking forward to this cardboard

1st world problems

[lofty knoll]

Why didnt you build?

[idle terrace]

Because for the first time in history prebuilds are cheaper than building

And I ran out of patience

Gotta have paper hands somewhere

It has a 3070 which is like $1100-1200 and the prebuild cost 1700 total so yah. Shits fucked

[fierce vine]

yeah prebuild is the only easy way of getting a GPU too

like 2-4 week wait'

rather than ~fuckyouwheneveryoubeatabot

[idle terrace]

This came in like 5 days

[fierce vine]

oo damn yeah DM me too please

[quick spindle]

Me three! 😄

[brazen bobcat]

Does it deliver to EU as well? 😉

[full dome]

i highly suggest entering the newegg shuffle every day if you're looking for just getting a GPU

[vagrant valve]

can you just post it in off topic?

[fierce vine]

I stopped but yeah doing that again

kind of getting weirded out by some of the awkward noises my GPU is making lol

plus need to see Illuvium in all its prettiness on launch 😄

[vagrant valve]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-chewbacca-yell-gif-15533264

this is what popped in my head of your GPU

[fierce vine]

lol pretty much

[idle terrace]

I got it off Newegg. Let’s see if it turns on first folks

[lofty knoll]

Newegg pretty good

But what brand is it

Cause prebuild cheap out on PSU and Mobo and Ram always

Everything that is not a GPU or CPU they cut corner

[vagrant valve]

Whats the latest GPU now?

[full dome]

3080 ti is the newest, 3090 is the most powerful

[vagrant valve]

what would you choose?

[idle terrace]

Ram is gskill, mobo is gigabyte. Not sure what the power supply is but it’s 700w

[full dome]

unless AMD released a card recently i'm unaware of

[full dome]

i have a 3090 only because i "won" the privilege of being able to buy it in a newegg shuffle. ideally i was looking to buy a 3080

3090 is overkill unless you're doing pretty intense 3D/video rendering things

[idle terrace]

I wanted a 3080 too but shits too crazy right now. This is a huge upgrade for me tho. I’ve had an asus rog laptop for like 7 years now. It’s been an absolute beast as I’ve traveled a lot for work and life. But yeah time to move on.

[full dome]

it really is nuts, i bet i would have bought a 3070 and not looked back had the shuffle granted me it instead of the 3090. i was just ready to replace my old card and move on lol

[vagrant valve]

I guess il see what i can get. Or just put the GPU money in ILV 😏

[lofty knoll]

Ti is pure shit this time

My 2080ti will do the job just fine

[real tiger]

I run 3090

Reeeee

[lofty knoll]

They are optimizing the graphics anyway

Ill buy next gen

[real tiger]

64gb 3600mhz cl16

5900x

And yes i build them my self

G skill royals btw

[rich terrace]

I was gonna replace my 970 with the new gen. Figured I'd wait on release a month to avoid getting scalped

[lofty knoll]

I9 9900K and 32GB 3200 or 3400 cant remember

[real tiger]

Only gigh teir shit

[lofty knoll]

Royals

[rich terrace]

That has not worked out for me

[vagrant valve]

Do you guys know when for next gen?

[lofty knoll]

I bet hahah

[real tiger]

Oh and 2tb m.2 ofc

[lofty knoll]

Ofc same

We are not peasants

🤣

[idle terrace]

Yeah 2080ti is totally fine atm. Not worth the upgrade.

[lofty knoll]

Just kidding hahaha

[rich terrace]

1tb m.2 and a 2tb SATA

[lofty knoll]

I still have it tho

[fierce vine]

might workout now, supposedly the demand in China is plummeting with their anti-btc stance getting stronger

[lofty knoll]

I have the 2tb sata old school too to store movies and shit

Good enough for that

[idle terrace]

I also got a lg 27gl83a 27in 144hz 1440p monitor on prime day for like $280. Solid deal

[rich terrace]

It's still unbelievably fast compared to hdd

[real tiger]

Sata 2021

Lelel

[lofty knoll]

True

My main monitor is a 35" curved 200 mhz predator

Second and third are crappy ones I dont know specw hahah

[idle terrace]

My monitor came with a CD. What year is it

[lofty knoll]

Ikr

Printers still coming with cds hahahhaha

[idle terrace]

Lol

[lofty knoll]

I have an external blueray burner reader just in case

My kids are going to be like wtf is that

[idle terrace]

Oh wow doomsday prepper I see

[lofty knoll]

That and floppy disk

[full dome]

to be fair there are still a couple dozen people on earth with no internet access to download those really important monitor and printer drivers

[idle terrace]

Gotta put all that porn on cold storage just in case

[vagrant valve]

most people have cell phones though

[full dome]

right, that's why i lowballed to a couple dozen people 😛

you know, the true off the grid people

who need printers for some reason...

[real tiger]

I got a 27 inch 240hz 1440p

Alpha stuff m8

Imma go sleep now

Goodnight all

[fierce vine]

night

[sinful kestrel]

So is there an advantage to holding ilv when the game releases

[lofty knoll]

No

Except getting revenue distribution from the game when you are staked

[severe breach]

except he says ......like it's not even the most important thing here

https://tenor.com/view/kill-la-kill-ragyo-kiryuin-crucifixion-anime-gif-14225484

[next surge]

At least we are making up some ground here

That sub $30 ILV was depressing

[severe breach]

same here

[tame solar]

Someone is accumulating

Here

👀

[fierce vine]

They need to stop until the end of the week

[severe breach]

new whale incoming lol

[tame solar]

month old whale

slowly accumulating

[elfin coral]

he's gonna dump soon, he told me

better get out before she crashes the price

[fierce vine]

That’s exactly what a whale that wants a cheaper entry would say.

But if they’re serious why don’t they wait for my money to come in then they can do that.

[idle terrace]

Is someone walking across the country to bring u that check?

I cashed out an old retirement account with about $6,000 in it. It went up 10% in 5 years…..just buy apple u stupid fucks

[fierce vine]

Dude pretty much god damnit. Been like 5 business days for my own money. I was annoyed at first but I’m getting pissed. Hate fiat more and more everyday

[idle terrace]

I’m waiting for those funds too. Probably just throwing it in ETH for lp tho

They said 5-10 business days for a direct deposit hahahha

[red geyser]

i'm gonna make sure I onramp into USDC next time and get my ETH at the last minute before trading for whatever I really want...

[fierce vine]

That’s crazy. I had a 14 day waiting period if I wanted to use direct deposit. They said it was a new account even though they deposit money into that account every week. They said it isn’t the same system. In the same company lol.

[fierce vine]

Same

[tame solar]

so what will happen if a new cosmetic comes out for illuvium and YOU MUST HAVE IT

14day wait ? GG

[red geyser]

well right now i'm holding just enough ETH to stake my ilv

yeah there is that

if I got my eth instantly i'd have gotten less ILV if I'd jumped right in. I think... that's what I tell myself at least

https://tenor.com/view/copium-attack-on-titan-thunder-spear-titanfolk-gif-21192395

[fierce vine]

Think the first day it would have been available price was like $45 or so. I likely wouldn’t have hit those sweet sub30 numbers but probably better than what I will end up getting

We will see

Valve, after making THE biggest amount of any TI battlepass ever last year and having just released a new battlepass today and have plans to release another very soon are no longer paying for casters to cover the TI quals, which is being left up to BTS.

The need for a DAO for a tripleA game increases

[fierce vine]

Valve is so greedy. They know people love the game so they’ll do it for free. Taking advantage of people sounds like valve.

Good thing I didn’t buy the pass yet lol

[idle terrace]

It’s sad when that happens. Activision blizzard merger killed blizzard. Going public is so bad for the customers. Valves private but I guess it still didn’t help

[fierce vine]

What’s funny about it is this won’t work for long. If casters aren’t making money from events they should then they’ll hav to go get another job. They can’t afford to work for free. I bet in a couple years they’ll cycle through all the good casters and just have crap for talent

[hybrid finch]

the top casters are doing good i think

this is more tier 2 stuff

[fierce vine]

I heard one top caster said they were there for free but I also haven’t watched in a few years so maybe they’re no longer at the top

It was at esl one I think they said it

[tame solar]

imagine being a caster for 5 years then they suddenly pay you less

[delicate hornet]

Hi guys the opensea sale is the monster cards or just picture of them

[tame solar]

link me what youre looking at

[fierce vine]

Like you said a DAO would solve that. Valve tries to pay less, DAO passes solution that they have to get a min salary

Just like a collection rite?

its a special promo from the token sale done a while back

it has to be burned to be used in game

But check out #🎮〕illuvium-zero for some shorter term developments

[humble wave]

Good morning bros and sisssss (what’s the short form of sisters? 🤔) hope you’re having a nice Friday.

[real tiger]

Morning

[humble wave]

Hey my molten brother 😁

[sage falcon]

morning

[real tiger]

Another hodl day

[humble wave]

When 37? 😁

[real tiger]

When 100

[crisp sorrel]

1000*

[real tiger]

10000

[crisp sorrel]

😄 ❤️

[real tiger]

When 1 ilv = 1 btc

[humble wave]

Haha that was the best answer 😁

[real tiger]

@humble wave whats ur fav illuvial atm

[humble wave]

Well, so far the talks around The Pistol Shrimp have aroused my interest 😁 also the Moth one looks interesting. What’s yours?

[real tiger]

Dash

[humble wave]

Is the super power speed? Is there a place I can read about them?get to know them

[real tiger]

Only based on character leak i make the choice haha

Really liked the look of daah

Dash

[calm arrow]

The whales seem to have stopped dumping finally

[humble wave]

Interesting. I will have to go through them all

[humble wave]

Well, if everything gonna be staked for years, then we won’t experience much dumping afterwards. But let them do what they wanna do. As long as everything works smoothly we’ll be fine

[calm arrow]

More trying to figure if the bottom will hold out until I can get my other stuff sold and funds into ILV.

But you're right, when staking goes live it'll become way more stable

[humble wave]

Let’s say BTC doesn’t crash and moves to 100k. By that time we are mooning and when Bear Market starts we might come back to the place we started from. We’ll still be here and buy the dips as much as we can. So dump or pump doesn’t matter. More ILV = better future NFA 😂

[humble wave]

Yep. I believe so. But anything can happen.

[calm arrow]

Correct. The whole GME saga has given me diamond hands. Buy the dips and hold to insane values

[humble wave]

Yep. For now you might see very low numbers, loss, FUD, blood 😁, or even paper hands. Look at it in 4+ years.

Your ILV is gonna generate more ILV and that ILV is gonna generate even more. So…

[calm arrow]

My goal is to try and join the three digit ILV club before staking. And you're right, as it compounds it'll go crazy, although I have a funny feeling I'll take it early as sILV and spend it all...

[real tiger]

Never enough ilv

When i come back tomorrow ill swap my xyz to ilv again

Couldnt claim in holiday

[humble wave]

Well everyone has their plans. You have to live with yours. As for me, keep buying the dips and accumulat more and receive ILV for it.

[humble wave]

I might do the same. Waiting for the rewards on Monday.

That is if I’m alive by then. I’m taking the Vaccine today

[real tiger]

10k is my ultimate goal haha

[humble wave]

ILV = 10k? Then sell all?

[real tiger]

No 10k ikv

Ilv

But money running out so wont make it

[calm arrow]

I must admit, part of my thinking is that I'd pay for stuff in game anyway, so if I take interest as sILV and then buy ILV with the money I would have spent in game, it's not auto locked for a year... so there is some crazy logic here

[humble wave]

Ah. I thought you were gonna dump all at 10k price and kill us 😂

[humble wave]

You have to decide whether you’re gonna earn more in playing or investing or both. As for me, for now I don’t have much tome to play.

[real tiger]

I wont sell all at once ofc 😂

[humble wave]

Ah. So one day you’ll sell all nonetheless 😁 gotcha

[real tiger]

Not all but def tsking profit end of bull market

And buy back in beat

R

[calm arrow]

I'm interested what made you want to invest in a game if you wont have much time to game? I'm curious

[humble wave]

Well you’re the whale 😁 for us shrimps I guess I will have to lock all I have for a year. Otherwise not much profit will be in it I guess

[real tiger]

But dw aint selling any soon

And never sell all haha

[humble wave]

I’m an investor and an early gamer. Look at it as a small shareholder and I believe the project is good for me financially and since I live to see people succeed, and ILV is a well-thought one, I would invest long term and probably will never sell my initial investment as if the delivery is satisfactory

@real tiger you’re the man. Love to see your diamond hands 😁 hope you get to 10k. Our shrimp investment depends on it. 😂

[real tiger]

Hahah we all in thr same boat man

[humble wave]

Let’s paddle to the moon 😁

[calm arrow]

Makes sense. I think Illuvium is pretty interesting as it's bringing crypto investors and gamers together. It's really making the difference less defined

[humble wave]

That’s why we’re here. 🙂

[calm arrow]

Yup! I think atm it's mostly crypto investors here. In a year I think the chat will be mainly gamers

[humble wave]

Let’s wait until the launch. It has the potential to rob lots of other coins of their level. With the small market cap that we have, one sneeze and we’re mooning. (I wanted to say one fart and we’re mooning, but that seemed weird) 😂😂

[mint shuttle]

hi guys, I was reading the roadmap

where is the main plataform to take profit of Yield Farming Rewards?

XYZ, this is new to me.. I have never head about it

[humble wave]

https://dao.universe.xyz/yield-farming

[mint shuttle]

thanks a lot.. I will check it out.. As I am in red, I need to get some passive out of my ILV (as I want to play teh game afterwards, so I am holding)..

[humble wave]

No worries. We all are looking forwards to witnessing the success.

Guys has anyone taken the Vaccine? I wanna know if there’s any side effects. Fever, fatigue, pain or something.

Haha. You can study me too. I’ll update you since I’m taking Feizer today. The first shot anyway 😁

Yeah. I know. But they have started giving cards and probably won’t allow people to fly if not taken it. (That’s what I’ve heard here. I don’t know about the US)

No not yet the passport. But they have started giving Vaccine IDs. They the news of “everyone must take it” is in the air

[calm arrow]

Astrazeneca x2 here. First one destroyed me for 24 hours. Bad hangover and fever. Second was nothing

[humble wave]

I’m taking Feizer. (Donno the spelling 😁)

I only inject ilv

I meant in our ILV pool. If so, i wonder if he’s gonna go for single pool or LP

[lofty fox]

Kain I said that a while ago imma pretty sure... hahaha.. and chacha is/was one of the other brothers.

all of those mentioned by you and some more in rarer cases..i have friends that still feel unwell after 2 months , also have others that are alright after 3 days from the vaccine

[humble wave]

Now I’m terrified

[severe breach]

on the UK's gov website (one of my friends was telling me so i haven't personally looked into it ) apparently they say getting vaccinated is not an experiment, but if you do get side effects let them know so they can prepare better for the future

huh? 😅

the friend i'm telling you about said he is not going for the second dose lol

and i'll end here..each to their own

[calm arrow]

Me and everyone I know has had at least one dose if not two. Worst reactions are gone in 24 hours. You'll be ok

[humble wave]

I’ll donate my crypto if I was gonna die 😂

This is a real thing here. Everything will happen but without prove of negative testing or double vaccination you ain’t getting in…

Also… this is a BIG F’ing HELL NAW for me. Tiny spiders coming out big spiders…. Brrrrr

how do these spiders survived being crammed together like that

don't they suffocate

they might eat each other to survive

just a reminder, if you see a white ball thingy behind a spider, catch the spider or leave it, if you kill it, the monsters crawl out

I’ll keep that in mind. I’m gonna use the vacuum cleaner and dispose of it all together. You don’t want it around your house do you? 😁 any advice for roaches? We have that problem in Istanbul

Ilv is holding pretty good

It went down to 30s when ilv was 1800

Eth*

[next surge]

But gas was too high so wasnt even worth buying more for me

Lose like 6-7 ILV from gas fees

[twilit junco]

Yeah, when $ILV was ~30 I didn't buy either. Bought my last one around $33 and I don't think I paid way more considering what gas was when we were at $30.

Damn...there goes 38k eth ...food for the void god

[humble wave]

When $20? 😂

[sage falcon]

LOL

[sage falcon]

Imagin buying eth when it was 3k thinking it was going to hit 4K again, then all this happens 😂

[humble wave]

So far it seems is gonna go even lower 😂

[sage falcon]

Don’t worry, I’m secretly crying inside still. Thankfully al my money that I invested, I can live without.

I bought back when the first drop hit, thought I was clever buying in at 2.2

Now look at it

When it was 2.2 back then, ilv was like 60 still.

[humble wave]

Well I guess most have DCAed down. I personally am very low on ETH. Still too expensive for my taste 😁

[twilit junco]

Even if you bought at $3k. If you don't sell before it's above $3k again, then no loss 😄

[humble wave]

There’s never a loss until you make it happen 😁

[sage falcon]

That does baffle me to be honest, why do whales sell when the market is dropping? Surely they’d know to wait until it recovers again?

Unless they all brought in at pennies, so anything above is a profit to them.

Then they see it dropping so they sell and buy at a lower price

[real tiger]

Whales also can make mistakes

And have reason they need cash on short term for something

[twilit junco]

Well, let's say you bought Bitcoin at 33k, and after going up it drops to 35k, while you are expecting it to go even lower than 33k this time. So you sell for a small profit at 35k and buy back in below 33k. More money/bitcoin for you compared to just hodling. But obviously also the risk that it never goes down and whatnot. But at least I think that is ONE of the reasons some whales might sell sometimes in similar situations.

[humble wave]

Whales are still people and prone to errors. Being a whale doesn’t necessarily mean he/she is a businessman/businesswoman. Maybe they are just rich, so I guess you should add this one to the equation as well. Maybe they sell to buy lower, or maybe they need the money like Cha Cha did, or maybe simply they make mistakes, OR they have paper hands 😁

[twilit junco]

I only have two options. Millionaire or broke. Gotta keep hodling (maybe take some profits here and there but only to then again buy more stuff to hodl) 😄

[sage falcon]

that's true

Makes sense

If you whacked a million into crypto not entirely knowing and you opened it to see 500k

I guess most people would panic sell

[twilit junco]

I mean, the way I see it, even when selling at a loss you might do it "right". Lets say you bought bitcoin at 60k. Now its 30k and your funds just got halfed. You could just hodl and hope/wait for a time with 60k+ again, but what if you are convinced it drops even more. Why not selling at 30k then and buy even more at lets say 25k? If you then hodl all that and it goes back to 60k+ you have even more than before. At least that's how I understand it.

If you just panic sell and make your loss permanent before you don't intend to buy back in, then of course thats different

[hybrid finch]

they didn't become whales by not selling when market is looking like absolute shit

cutting your losses is as important as getting in early

[sage falcon]

That makes a ton of sense

[humble wave]

Still depends on how much you have in and how much you’re in loss. For whales it makes sense if they know it’s gonna go even lower to sell and buy back.

[sage falcon]

Yeah exactly

Makes a ton of sense

[twilit junco]

True, I was mostly thinking of things like Bitcoin or ETH right now where many probably expect to see higher numbers longterm. There probably are many investments were it makes sense to just take the hit and keep your losses in check before it all goes to 0 instead.

[humble wave]

@twilit junco BTC might crash to 15k in the bear market and might consolidate for years. So that’s why no one should (maybe I’m like this) invest their life savings and the money they need to live on. I’m not a whale, but if it crashed and i was in loss I’d rather hold and wait for the next bull run since I really don’t depend on the money I have injected in Crypto. It will be in profit one day, but since I’m not a daily trader (still learning the ropes) I’d rather not sell. But maybe I’m wrong.

[twilit junco]

I'm the same way. I put all my savings in crypto and will continue to do so with most of my extra money every month, but overall...I am not reliant on that money currently. Even if I had to wait four years for it to make a decent profit, I'd be fine. So I'm just gonna pull out of things if I intend to buy back in cheaper or if I absolutely have lost confidence in a project.

[humble wave]

Sure. DCAing down has worked for me so far. I’m planning to lock ILV for a year (in which probably we might enter the bear market and ILV would lose value) but even if it does lose value, since i would see it outperform may other projects in a few years (NFA), then I would just inject more into it. I work, make money, take the parts I need to live on and instead of putting it in bank to lose value, I’ll buy more ILV even in the bear market

[twilit junco]

Doing exactly the same here, well until blockchain gaming starts paying my bills comfortably 😄

[real tiger]

Dca is safest for entry and exit

[humble wave]

Yep yep yep 🙂

[humble wave]

Yep. I’ll try to buy ILV until all the coins are in circulation. Then I’ll keep on staking and live off the revenue distribution. That’s my plan.

[sage falcon]

on testnet i think

[humble wave]

The testnet should be

Next month i guess the mainnet will initiate

Let’s burn some ETH 😁

[marble oyster]

Is that a bull or a bear with horns?

[rich terrace]

They often don't have a choice. Alot of our beautiful ILV whales came across from SNX. And with SNX taking such a huge hit, they got liquidated or were forced to sell to avoid liquidation. They're not fools, but sometimes you have nothing but bad decisions to choose between.

[sage falcon]

that's a good point

[humble wave]

Man, SNX did take a bad hit. Lots if coins did, but SNX was bad. How so? It has a strong platform. It dropped to the same price before the bullrun

Lets see by next week ETH will outperform ILV or the other way around 😁

[sage falcon]

hahaha

[next surge]

Buying and staking ILV during a bear market sounds like a good recipe to get rich

[real tiger]

Q3 Will be better

Then this shitty short term bear market

[humble wave]

Stake the ILV and eat steak 🥩 with the result 😁

[real tiger]

Why is everyone so quiet

[tame solar]

Those whales were over leveraged

[humble wave]

Just took the Vaccine 💉 😂 the guy kicked me out after it. Said something in Turkish. Not even doctors speak English. 🙄

[near pier]

This what I said

[humble wave]

Thx Ami. If I was about to die I'll donate my ILV 😁

[sour sequoia]

Where do you live? And why they talk turkish and not you lol

[humble wave]

(Istanbul-my native language is not Turkish) I speak English and teach it from 8 am to sometimes 9 pm. Haven't got the time to properly learn it. And a huuuuuuge number of people can't even count in English

[twilit talon]

I have been wanting to ask, are you there for the long haul?

[delicate hornet]

Hallo @near pier please let me know after request on Beta test room, when we be ready for test, random choose or how?

[humble wave]

Nope. I don't take Turkey as a country to stay in for the long term. I've seen lots of instability.

[twilit talon]

I bet 😐

[humble wave]

Well they are planning to turn Istanbuk into an island regarding which %80 of the population are against. So, I just hope they don't start a war with Russia because of that.

[twilit talon]

Oh man, that's not good. How long do you plan on stay there and teaching (I know until ILV moons LOL)

[vagrant valve]

I think many countries are not doing well right now

I was looking to move to another country but im not sure where.

[twilit talon]

I am moving to Portugal from the US

[brazen bobcat]

I was a big fan of Da Nang in Vietnam, but Saigon was really cool as well

[humble wave]

Well even if ILV moons, and the passive income is something on can rely on, I'd do my best to move to Europe and since I can speak a bit of German too, I guess Germany would be a good choice.

[vagrant valve]

oh Portugal..I would like to visit there. Maybe vietnam.

https://tenor.com/view/freedom-horse-shouts-gif-5757772

i do like freedom

[twilit talon]

👍 Germany is beautiful, I have been there a couple of times. We would be somewhat neighbors LOL

[humble wave]

Well. I've had lots of credit card problems, the bureaucracy sucks, lack of education about European culture and languages are terrible, and stoicism is everywhere, here. So, I’d say Europeean countries are way better for now.

[vagrant valve]

Berlin?

[humble wave]

Vietnam is crazy hot and if you are a picky eater, you'll go crazy

[humble wave]

Would love to try it. So far my passport hasn't been a good one

[twilit talon]

😆

[humble wave]

I like Southern Germany a lot. Berlin is a top north eastern pick though

[twilit talon]

I like the southeast the Bavaria area

[vagrant valve]

I guess i will have get big bags of ILV and travel to all these places to see for myself.

[humble wave]

Count me in

[twilit talon]

Absolutely 🚀

[humble wave]

Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto are also the places I'd love to see. @blissful bay would love that too 😁 the birth place of animes

[vagrant valve]

I like Osaka and Kyoto

[humble wave]

I'd definitely try them if ILV goes to 1k 😁

[twilit talon]

🙌

[vagrant valve]

Been wanting to go back but they are closed to outsiders right now. But Kyoto is beautiful. Osaka is my kind of city before 2020.

[humble wave]

I'm drooling now XD

[fierce vine]

Think japan is where my fiancé and I will travel for our honeymoon. Or Sweden. I love the snow and she loves the country.

[humble wave]

Let's do this. All ILV community after 1 ILV = 1k

[humble wave]

two different countries and both beautiful. Guess Japanese are warmer and more out going though

[vagrant valve]

If you do go lmk i might stay there for awhile

[humble wave]

I tool my Vaccine. They'd better let me out now XD

[vague raven]

Finally I got a shipping confirmation for my miners I bought 4 months ago

[fierce vine]

Yeah we aren’t sure yet. We will probably get married on paper this year, never have a wedding and go honey moon in the next couple. Have a bit to figure it out lol

[humble wave]

pre-congrats my friend.

[vagrant valve]

Well they not open for business. So it will be awhile

[humble wave]

hope everything works out for you Ami. the best and kindest person ever XD

[vagrant valve]

Had to look that up 😆. Japan is dope

[humble wave]

It's where I love to die XD

[vagrant valve]

Food is really good. Even the fast food is better than U.S fast food

My cousin has stomach issues but when we went to japan he had no issues with his stomach. I think the food is just cleaner.

The japanese take a lot of care in many things they do. I couldnt eat rice for 2 months the first time i came back from japan. U.S. rice is shit

[sage falcon]

that's true

i use hellofresh for food sometimes not sure if that helps

it's a site where you can healthy meals to cook

ye

[sour sequoia]

Well i can agree with turkish people's English cuz I'm a turkish lol. I'm surprised when you talk about Turkish speakers :)

[red pilot]

When is game releasing again?

[humble wave]

I meant no offence my brother. Just stated the fact. I love the people and culture a lot. I do believe they can do much better.

[humble wave]

Q4. End of December

[red pilot]

thanks

[sour sequoia]

Yeah that is because of education in here not that great. Even some university students can't speak it. It is a great country but has some political problems 😦

[humble wave]

Yep. All my students are university ones. Although 98% are Arabs. I would love to have Turkish students, but seems they are not into the language as Arabs are. The remainingv%2 are Russian, Brazilian and Turkish

[sour sequoia]

Yeah a lot of arabs in Istanbul, a lot of non native people 🙂

[humble wave]

Yep. That's true

[twilit talon]

Also high levels of arsenic

[twilit junco]

Just come here, yeah. If I should decide to buy a house after all instead of moving out of the country we can enjoy our ILV riches together 😄

[humble wave]

Sure. Let's hope all together 🙂

[twilit junco]

1.000€ $ILV is all I'm asking for. I mean, that's just a tiny little pump 🤔 🤣

[lofty knoll]

I'm the only one invited to @fierce vine wedding heheh

[fierce vine]

lol no wedding. There will be a bachelor party. I told my fiance I'm not going to get a stripper or anything. Just going to grab some shrooms and watch LOTR.

[vagrant valve]

you're not going to get a stripper. But we will get one for you😏 while your on shrooms and have her dress up like an ELF...lmao

[fierce vine]

that sounds like it'd turn into a bad trip real quick lol

[humble wave]

Yeah. 5k per month would be enough for me to retire here and live like a king 😁

[vagrant valve]

just want to see you freak out lol

[fierce vine]

I don't lol

Today we sucked up 100 ETH (marketplace fee) + 70,000 $AXS (breeding fee).

Annualized this is 36,500 ETH + 25,550,000 AXS.

So 67 M + 89 M= 156 M/year in ecosystem revenue.

This is 80% base (real) yield without staking rewards from (issuance). https://t.co/XMYkJexKWW

Do you guys see the potential market ILV is about to tap into

[sinful kestrel]

is ilv gonna be the axie killer

[tame solar]

ILV is gonna be the centralized gaming killer, god willing

[humble wave]

Let's tap into and out the other way making a hole in the market 😁 like killing a fly with a bazooka

[hollow drum]

Im fired up

this is what I signed up for

[calm arrow]

Wtf just happened to gas? It's gone crazy all of a sudden

It's choppy but all were 3 digits a second ago

[humble wave]

Doesn't want anyone to sell their XYZ 😁

[twilit talon]

Is there a place besides character leak that I can see the name and characters of our critters. All I can remember as far as names go is Dash (my fav) and Pistol Shrimp. But I know what they look like. ☺️

[calm arrow]

Hah, it's dropping like a stone again. Seemed like a random spike

[red geyser]

not yet... but its coming soon https://illuvium.io/illuviary/

[twilit talon]

😃 Thank you

[twilit junco]

Hmm, it seems in Germany our tax rulers are still a bit slow when it comes to crypto etc. As far as I could find out, it still remains that everything you hold for at least a year and then sell you can keep 100% of the profits of and since I'm not day trading but hodling, maybe I should reconsider my idea of leaving 😄

[fierce vine]

Lol I didn't see see that they annualized a number from one day of returns

I'd wonder what their annualized returns are based on their daily avg over the last 3-6 months

Probably still pretty good, but I'd wager not 36.5k eth lol

For sure lol. What I find funny is they try to target people as being a way to earn but instead post a tweet about how much money they made off their players.

[twilit junco]

Now, I know we all hope for the most amazing numbers possible and also that no one actually can predicts what's going to happen, but just out of curiosity, are any of those more experienced in crypto actually believing that $ILV could reach numbers like $1.000 or is this pure BS?

[humble wave]

Man, ILV will slap them in the face by sharing the revenue to the token holders

[vagrant valve]

i think so yes

[humble wave]

When ILV started it was about $100. So it would have taken it a 10X which lots of coins had done easily. So I’d say 1k is pretty much doable. Even we can go higher

[twilit junco]

Wow, didn't really think that was possible. I know, no guarantee, it could never even come close or crash completely...everything is possible but to hear experienced crypto traders actually believe it is a possibility to go $1.000 and above makes me even more excited to be a part 😄

[vagrant valve]

Im not a trader. Im an investor

[twilit junco]

I just meant to say people more experienced in crypto, regardless of trading, investing, ... 🙂

[humble wave]

Yeah. Imagine telling people “hey guys, they are literally payment my you to hold and stake the token. Not just a pool profit, but gaming profit”

Haha. @twilit junco wait for Ami and she'll blow your mind now 😂

[vagrant valve]

Imagine you taking a % of fornite

[fierce vine]

yeah no revenue share for them

[twilit junco]

Just look at the philipines. As soon as the news started to spread that people could live of it and even earn more than their jobs offered it exploded. Imagine when that happens worldwide with a 3d quality game and 100% revenue share 😄

[humble wave]

That's why I said my plan is to join the YF (either pool) and then continue staking the initial investment + the rewards I don't need right away and live off the revenue. It's literally free monthly salary for EVER

[twilit junco]

I'm already so excited to see the face of my parents when I tell them "you remember decades ago when you kept nagging me I spend too many hours playing video games? HA!" 😄

[humble wave]

$1000 earning monthly for people Living in western countries might not be that much. But a passive $1k income here...I can retire

[twilit junco]

Don't forget the play2earn part. If you could get $1k of ILV as passive income just from your $ILV invest AND then add to that whatever is possible, then your golden 🙂

[humble wave]

Yeah. Of course not. For someone like me who's single and needs only $400 per month to live a happy life, $1k passive income is a lot. I will end up staking the rest of it

Yeah. I pay $200 rent, $20 for all bills combined (gas, water, internet, electricity, Netflix and apartment charge) and literally order food everyday. All comes to about $400

[vagrant valve]

dam thats cheap

[humble wave]

Yeah. For someone who earns dollars, euros or pounds, it's nothing. That's why I say $1k passive income makes me retired

Haha. 😂

[vagrant valve]

mines is 5-6x

https://tenor.com/view/iknow-cry-cryknow-gif-21141666

[humble wave]

One more thing is that since we hold an inferior currency, so if you keep dollars, euros or ponds, they will rise in value while yours decline. Here you can see that holding dollars is actually profitable. How's that? 😂

Exactly. So making $1k in dollars is double the profit you make in the US. 😁

With 250k they will bow and hand over the passport 😁 with 1M you can buy a 500sqm house with 3-4 luxury cars 😂

[fierce vine]

My dumb imperial-using ass

I saw 500sqm and was like I figured you could get bigger with that money

then I was like oh, meters

lol

[jaunty nexus]

next bull cycle?

[humble wave]

Haha. It's huge. You need 10 people to clean it for you 😂

[fierce vine]

yeah that's massive lol that's like 4 of my houses

[humble wave]

Yeah. Definitely. But I’d rather keep it small and diversify the wealth

Let's see if shrimp amount of ILV can earn you $1k passive income 😂 but I'm still gonna inject more even after staking

And need to decide which pool to jump in.

No taxes here. The only thing I pay is the Binance fee (I guess) and gas

If I want to use the money I have to exchange it. Meaning selling the superior currency to get the inferior one. So it will always be a win here.

[vagrant valve]

I know where im moving lol

[humble wave]

Haha. Go for Kuwait 😂 they don't let me in though.

Look at the exchange rate 👆

And the Citizens get minimum 2k KWD and maximum 5k KWD by sitting in their houses.

2k KWD = $6640 per month
5k KWD = $16,600 per month

[lofty knoll]

Axies revenue is cute

[hearty veldt]

seeing how relatively popular Axies is gives me really good hope for Illuvium

I reckon the entire Axies community will at least try Illuvium

[sinful kestrel]

tbh if we want more people to try illuvium maybe we should stop talking crap about axie. I'm talking about myself.

[hearty veldt]

I wanted to buy into Axie, it looks fun to me, but prices seem too high and looks like they might collapse onto themselves any moment

also don't like how money determines the quality of your team

I hope the ranked aspect in Illuvium will truly be fully achievable for anyone with a couple of hundred dollars

meaning there is no quality difference between someone who spent a couple of hundred bucks and those who spent thousands

[sinful kestrel]

hehe oh really?

give me the details

im curious

[elfin coral]

with grinding hard this could be true, but unlikely without it

[hearty veldt]

But ranked will equalize all stats? Where do you think money will make the difference? I suppose in quality of Luvi's available?

or I suppose some gear might be really expensive and give unfair advantage

hopefully this won't be the case

[sinful kestrel]

ok let me backtrack lol

im kinda offput by axie itself but this is even more juicer

[hearty veldt]

yea I know that, but was talking specifically about ranked

[elfin coral]

gotta see how it works i guess, ilv need people to be spending money tho

[sinful kestrel]

ok

[hearty veldt]

I suppose it depends on how expensive gear and robots will be which influence your 'deck'

yea, but I mean say you have super legendary whatever, which gives Illuvium plus 1000 health and some normal gear which gives Illuviums +100 health, that is a big difference, those stats might not be equalized? Cause it's simply different gear

how will it be equalised? Better example, say the super legendary gear gives Luvi's 100 regeneration per second and other gear gives +100 health permanent, those are two different things

I hope so

yea, I hope that will be the case

yea, they could just not allow that kinda gear in ranked arena

that'd be good solutions

I am also wondering how gear will work in battles, lot of people didn't like addition of Underlords in the namesake game

but it does seem interesting to have two different overlaying factors which together create your team

are there any plans to make ilv more accessible?

I have a binance account, but now I first gotta deposit there buy ETH, make a gate.io account, sent eth there, buy ILV, then make metamask account and sent ILV there, kinda complicated for someone not really into crypto

[real tiger]

Just buy in sushi

Easier with metamask or ledger

Takes like 5 min

[hearty veldt]

not sure what that is, is there a guide somewhere?

[twilit junco]

ETH to ILV Swap on Sushi: https://app.sushi.com/swap?inputCurrency=ETH&outputCurrency=0x767FE9EDC9E0dF98E07454847909b5E959D7ca0E

I usually send FIAT to Binance, buy ETH, send ETH to my Metamask and then just swap on Sushi ETH for ILV

[hearty veldt]

ah alright, thanks

that does sound slightly easier will do that instead!

[real tiger]

How bad is ordering pizza at 11 pm

[crisp sorrel]

Not bad at all

[real tiger]

Yolo

[hearty veldt]

pretty good idea

[sage falcon]

@real tiger did you buy that pizza bro

[hoary siren]

Not good for digestion, depending on when u go to sleep

[real tiger]

Yes and ate it already

Going to sleep now 😂

[crisp sorrel]

Molten, any nightclubs op on Ibiza?

[sage falcon]

nicee and sleep good

[stiff estuary]

Goodmorning all, how are we all today?

I've gotta say all the animation sneak peeks coming out is looking mint

[rich terrace]

I assure you we've designed and are designing with that in mind. Here is an extract of our internal primer to ranked. I've made some redaction's.... But it isn't idle marketing speak on our part. If you play Illuvium with even a low level of effort. You'll be able to have a meaningful experience in ranked.

🧠 are free to try and work out the redacted's 😛

[calm arrow]

illuvials and ..... what?:O

[red geyser]

I may play a game of fill in the blank with this. Or madlibs

[red geyser]

Gotta be hunters

Or mechs

[calm arrow]

The second space has to match the third space in my opinion

[rich terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/freezing-the-shining-winter-gif-10493991

[hearty veldt]

That is awesome and really cool to hear the philosophy of low-barrier to entry and integrity. Thanks for sharing

[rich terrace]

weak! I'm not even gonna get in trouble if you guys are so off

do better!

[hearty veldt]

seems like a pretty damn good try

[red geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/challenge-accepted-gif-19511953

[hearty veldt]

except for gear?

[rich terrace]

Community challenge then. If you can agree on a set of fill ins as a team

If you get.. 5/6 right

I'll release the full + something extra

[hearty veldt]

I feel like tier and cost would make a lot of sense

hunter also seems to be given?

[rich terrace]

Council member can PM me with a complete product

[hearty veldt]

not sure what made you come up with 21?

heh

I guess tier might be named differently?

but same idea

because the space is longer

do we need to have 5/6 good in concept

or also literally

[calm arrow]

Well, you put out a team of 3, but have some reserves

but the space suggests single digit

so I'd guess 3 - 9

[hearty veldt]

good point

wait, do we know you only battle with 3 Luvi's?

9 would make sense then imo

[quick spindle]

Space 2 and 3 might be the same term

[rich terrace]

I'll accept roughly - if the community decides to say X but we've renamed it to Y. But it's pretty much the same thing

[quick spindle]

I like enhancements

[rich terrace]

I'll accept that

[calm arrow]

My thoughts too @quick spindle

[rich terrace]

If you're guessing a number, you've gotta be within....

5

[hearty veldt]

haha this is pretty fun

[calm arrow]

Well, the guess for box one has to be 6 then, as that'd put us from 1 - 12, and I doubt it's more than 12

good shout, it wont be 1, lol

[hearty veldt]

so say we fight with 3-5, then decks are probably at least 6? so we have to be within 5, so I guess 11 would make most sense?

but maybe to play safe because single digit 9?

[calm arrow]

9 gives us 4 - 14, which is a good spread

[hearty veldt]

yea 4-14 sounds pretty safe for a deck

hmm

but deck of 4 seems very unlikely

so we'd just be throwing away numbers

[quick spindle]

Those numbers seem so low to me.
I like 30. But because the only deckbuilder I play is GU and the deck size is 30 which seems to work 😛

[hearty veldt]

I think minimum deck is probably.. 8_

[calm arrow]

I doubt you have to kill 30 enemies though? I guess it depends how combat plays out

[hearty veldt]

yea, decks are probably bigger, also it is Luvi's plus gear/enchancements

[quick spindle]

Not every card will be an Illuvial. Think enhancements and such.

[hearty veldt]

I am feeling 20

[calm arrow]

urgh you're right Remi

[hearty veldt]

so I guess it is at least double digit?

what if it's 15 though xD

I feel like they want to keep the number somewhat low

to increase deck variety

with only 100+ luvi's

well, you probably have to have some super hard counter to whatever you are weak too

also you only place 3-5 Luvi's?

[calm arrow]

Our chances of getting 5/6 are 0%. Ben's probably sat there laughing his arse off

[hearty veldt]

hmm fair enough

alright, I guess I am fine with 25

though

eh.. I mean, if you decide to go 5 - 5 split, you are kinda asking for it?

you could easily got 3-3-2-2

and if you wanna be riskier 4-4-1-1

but probably more than 10

my issue with bigger decks it that you will have pretty similar core decks, because they are simply the best luvi's in certain meta

the smaller the decks, the more players have to adapt

[hearty veldt]

probably right, but we got a fighting chance I think

[rich terrace]

I would never do that...

myself and Aaron are here laughing our asses off

it's a team effort

[hearty veldt]

hahaha 😄

[rich terrace]

but it's good watching the thought processes

[hearty veldt]

yea and you can have multiple of the same luvi's

so yea

[calm arrow]

You both furiously scribbling down ideas? Is this how we design the game

[hearty veldt]

alright, I am fine settling with 25
