Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
What's going on, DaRuler?

After Dark Social Project - DaRuler – Community Manager
Not much, brother. How are you? I'm good, man. I'm sorry, I was in the space yesterday, but I kept rugging so I (I heard most of it, but every other word was a little bit uh rough to understand) so I'm back at it today, two days in a row, Stallion. Let's go, man.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
These are getting a lot of fun. So, DaRuler, have you been? Are you involved with the with the after dark Social Club project?

After Dark Social Project - DaRuler – Community Manager
Yes, of course.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Nice, yeah, that that's certainly a project I'm quite quite excited for. What's your role in that project?

After Dark Social Project - DaRuler – Community Manager
I'm I'm a little bit of everything. I'm like the Swiss army knife. I'm the community manager primarily, but I also of course help the guys out with whatever else they might need, some advisory roles, you know, just whatever gets the project moving in the right direction.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Hello, hey, how you doing? Is that uh is that JC on the mic?

The Crypto Show - JC
It is JC on the mic.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Oh, it's great to have you with us, my friend. I love the (I'm doing great, I love the sneak peek of the whitelist token, uh, that uh isn't it? You guys have some very talented Graphics folks working on that project. That's for sure.

The Crypto Show - JC
Yeah, and do you know we are making a real life uh version of it?

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Are you really are you actually gonna make it remote?

The Crypto Show - JC
Yeah, yeah, I'm in a real life though, some people might receive at home some real metal token.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Oh, man, that would be, that's gonna be really, really cool to see I love the design of the of that of the whitelist nft. I think these whitelist nfts are the new or the new meta for particularly on Hedera and it's kind of a way to showcase the efficiency of the network. For example, on ethereum, to do these whitelist passes like we see with a number of other projects now, would be it would be very hard to do or very expensive to distribute comparatively. It's another great benefit of the network.

The Crypto Show - JC
Yeah, I agree. I think it's um it's very available, like Hedera is growing and I think people from other blockchains are looking at Hedera as a very professional and very like a specific crypto pros and addicts blockchain, and we are well, we really think that developing right now in Hedera and will allow us to unlock a much larger market very soon. Because at some point people will say okay, so this company dropped this one failed and probably Hedera didn't grow as quickly as others, why? Because it's more serious, it's more professional and at some point we, well our bed is that people will very soon and we still we are experiencing this already, we'll understand how a good Hedera is.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Yeah, and I think you make a very good point. It is you know, I think considered one of the more professional blockchains. By the way, getting a getting a bit of feedback on your microphone JC, there we go. Yeah, no worries. Uh, anyway, your point about it being let's say a more professional blockchain I think is or DLT is true. I mean you look at you look at Davos right now and Hedera is a very big presence at the 2023 Davos Summit that's currently going on and a lot of big updates going on there both on a like a carbon credit perspective. I imagine if Hedera becomes the primary platform for either a regional carbon credit or Global carbon credit that, which is which is certain carbon credits are coming and it will be which countries embrace that it you know remains to be seen. I think Europe will be an early adopter due to some sort of carbon credit model and give that's powered on Hedera that's going to be a very very very big deal for Hedera and really and I think that's the way things are going to go and I think it's going to be very very beneficial for the network and while Hedera at least at least initially was not as focused on say DeFi was not a huge priority for there but these corporate use cases and let's say use cases in say the supply chain and elsewhere in the corporate space or in shipping, tracking shipping make that more efficient or even one of the one of the earlier use cases back at the start of the covid pandemic was actually they used the Hedera consensus service to monitor vaccine storage temperatures in a demo in the UK so a lot of versatility about what could be done with the network with the efficiency of the network and the consistency in in that low price for a Hedera consensus service transaction make the future very very bright for Hedera in particular. Nostradamus it's great to have you with us.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Thank you sir. It's a big day for us. I've been on the tweeters and the linkedins non-stop all morning and we're really making a big wave. So, did you Stallion did you catch the message I just sent you? Hedera just quote tweeted our announcement so we made a big announcement this morning that I looked that I'd love to talk about but Hedera just quote tweeted our announcement this morning with like a super cool post.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
For some reason my account doesn't let me.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
I honestly don't even know how to pin.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Would somebody mind pinning the Hedera retweet of The Upside Down tweet or the upside Cooperative tweet?

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
I appreciate it that's one thing I've never done before. So you know for everybody on the call for the last six to eight months we've been working with KPMG one of the largest accounting firms in the world and Orrick one of the biggest crypto what it is a brand name Law Firm but they have one of the biggest crypto law departments on a white paper detailing the way forward for tokenized projects to help embrace compliance um there's lots of questions in the industry and you know there's a lot of artists on this call and I love all the art you guys are doing I love how you're expressing yourself and building community and there is this looming you know there is this looming cloud of what even is a security, is what I'm making, the security? Am I going to be in trouble in any way? You know, I think that these are questions that probably all Builders have asked themselves. And this morning, we published a white paper alongside Orrick and KPMG on how to take your tokenized project and back it with a legal cooperative, and sort of help use existing regulatory precedent to make sure that, you know, what you're working with is not a security. That's what we do best. You know, we want you guys to express yourselves and get out there and make beautiful stuff. And our platform, upside.coop, is built on this model that we just published this morning officially, and it is the first model in all of web 3 on any chain, that helps projects, embrace a compliant state and is backed by existing precedent, and is not guessing how the SEC is gonna come down and make rules. It is something that truly hasn't been done before, and we think it's a big deal for everyone. Our platform, the upside, at upside.coop, is entirely built on this framework, and projects who choose to have a community on the upside can use it as a place where they can get work done. It's meant to be a complement to Discord, not a replacement for Discord. I imagine most people on this call have tried to do decentralized asynchronous work in Discord before and it sucks. Our platform is a place where you can actually get work done, and more importantly, it's a tool by which you can really help yourself, you know, sleep at night and feel safe that like you are building something that's going to last into the future.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
That's really, really cool. What are some of the projects that are or the types of projects that would be using that service?

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Yeah, totally, so we can help any pro any project that has issued tokens, even projects that don't. So, um, we actually have web 2 companies coming in. So one of our first customers is Dri, which is essentially Uber for laundry. They're a big growing startup in the states. The cool thing about our model is it works for traditional companies and for tokenized projects, but for tokenized projects we can help you with tokens you've already issued, we can help you create a legal cooperative, we can help you give real ownership to your community and we can also help you, you know, build your project in such a way or reorient your project in such a way that you know you can continue selling tokens, and we even offer on the platform decentralized fundraising for projects who have been successful on the platform for 90 days or more. Any project that has issued tokens can use this and the coolest part is we are built on Hedera and all of these co-ops are on Hedera, but the upside can support projects on every single chain. So no matter what chain your project is on, you can have a Cooperative on the upside, which your Cooperative will be on Hedera, but you can build anywhere you want.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Oh, that's, that's amazing.

After Dark Social Project - DaRuler – Community Manager
Absolutely love that. That's incredible. I just Pinned your post up there as well, and just the fact that Hedera retweeted that’s all the stamp approval you need right there in my opinion.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Totally, yeah, but still, I mean, you know, we really want to raise visibility for this model. I'd appreciate likes and retweets from anybody listening, who wants to help contribute to the visibility of it. You know, I think we hear 'projects get chilled' a lot, but the truth about our project is that it can help everybody. In fact, there are some projects that really need this because regulation is going to come down this year. In my personal opinion (which is not legal advice), I don't think it's going to come down in our favor. I think the rules are going to be strict, and we can really help projects that are out there really empowering community and doing good, be in a better spot regulatorily speaking.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Oh, a hundred percent, I think there's going to be, there's going to be two worlds for crypto. There's going to be, and I think we're going to see a lot of a lot of projects just as a gut reaction make their services just by default not available to US citizens or U.S residents in any capacity and you don't go ahead.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
You don't have to worry, you don't have to worry about that at all if you are on the other.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
That's exactly what I was getting to, there's going to be, I think, a lot of projects that will completely avoid the United States and then there are other projects like upside DAO that are on the regulatory cutting edge and are genuinely innovating with some of the biggest firms in the world on this front and are working to, are working in a have generated a legal framework that's, that from what I understand is doing everything possible to use existing U.S laws to keep projects compliant and I think that that's a certainly very, very laudable, laudable exercise and a very important project for the future of crypto.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Totally and just as a little Alpha, we aren't putting this out anywhere, but I love giving Alpha on Spaces, we're also currently in legal diligence with three major sports teams, so projects that come on to the upside will be listed alongside major sports teams and growing and major web 2 companies, they will look like real legitimate organizations that are embracing you know, real compliance and intend on living into the future.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
That's, that is enormous. I can't wait for that. So, are we, I know you can't say too much about, I definitely not name the teams or anything, but what might be let's say something that we'd see from not any of these three sports teams in particular, just for clarity, but what might be the type of thing is that a sports team would use the upside dao for or use upside cooperative for?

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Totally, so the big poll for sports teams, and they love our model by the way, we have like two dozen sports teams we're currently talking to, but sports teams love it because our platform is a streamlined, you know totally compliant way to engage in fan ownership, so fans will be able to buy a portion of the teams that they love and really care about and they'll also be able to contribute to the Dao to the organization and be rewarded in patronage, which is small amounts of ownership in the company too, so the sports teams will allow you to, you know, to purchase a part of the team through decentralized fundraising and also you can earn ownership in the team by doing work for them and by contributing to their community.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Now that's fantastic, I'm really excited for what you guys are doing and, it's what, so where did, I'm actually really curious where did the, what was the origin story for the upside Cooperative? How did this project come about?

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Yeah, totally. So I'm a career software engineer. My co-founders, you know, I met my co-founders in November of last, not November of last year, November of two years ago now, pretty crazy how fast time flies. And they pitched me on the idea, and I was like, 'I don't know man, like I have a pretty cushy software engineer job, it's not that hard, and I get to, I don't have oversight, I just get to write cool code.' And then I met them again at a conference in December, and I thought about it more and I was like, 'You know what, I think I could build this.' I had already been in crypto for a while and I understood the tenants and I understood what everybody was trying to accomplish. I was fully behind it, but you know, it, you know, it takes a little push to break out of that cush web 2 environment, and so we decided to do it. We started building last February. Along the way, we also built Hashgraph Name, you know, the major naming service on Hedera. We've minted over 95% of all domains on Hedera, and, you know, a little extra Alpha. In the middle of me sort of giving the origin story, Hashgraph Name will be one of the first projects on the Upside, and everybody who has bought Hashgraph names will be rewarded in real legal ownership in Hashgraph Name for any purchases they make and all of the purchases they've already made. So I love that Stallion and I were messaging earlier this week, and I was like, 'Dude, I got Alpha coming out of my ears right now,' and this is the Alpha that's come out of my ears. So, yeah, we've been building the whole way. We've tried to engage with the Hedera community. We've dealt with all the positives and negatives. You know, there's lots of great things about building on Hedera, there's lots of things on Hedera that are, you know, harder to get used to than other chains, but you know, are also good in some ways, it's all trade-offs. We've, you know, we've had wins, we've won alongside the community, we've had tough stuff where, you know, we had to deal with competitors and building infrastructure and all kinds of stuff, so you know, , we've really gotten to know Hedera. I would argue that we are, we have, we have a 12 developer team, I would argue that our team is one of the best teams building on Hedera right now, and we're just so excited to keep, you know, growing and learning with this community.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
So, you have, that's awesome to hear, a 12 developer team, that gives you the opportunity to work on a number of different fronts, I'm sure. What are some of the areas that you have your various developers working on?

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, we're obviously building, the Upside Cooperative. We are also building entirely contract-based Dao infrastructure that will be on Hedera in the future. We will have an Upside Cooperative protocol on Hedera. And if you want to use your own front end, you can. The protocol will just be usdc gated, and you can pay the protocol to have, you know, a fully extensible built-out Dao on Hedera. We'll even, the contracts will be open source, you can deploy the con if you feel savvy, you can deploy the contracts and not pay us any money at all. You know, we're really here to build and create cool stuff. Um, and uh, you know, we are head of design comes, you know, come straight from Apple. So our front end team is high-powered and is working on, you know, cool, but also very usable, cutting-edge design for the platform. And then of course, you know, everybody knows we build Hashgraph Name, and the biggest Alpha I have so Hashgraph Name will be daoified. That's half the big Alpha, but the coolest thing that we are building that's going on with Hashgraph Name right now, I'm actually not going to tell you guys, and I'm going to ask you to attend our spaces at 2 PM Mountain Time on Thursday, and to hear the other big announcement we have, a big announcement to make about a partnership that we have previously announced. And we have, we have fully integrated with one of our partners, and we have created something that will be, powerful and great, for every platform on Hedera, every platform will be able to increase their perceived legitimacy and increase the quality of the software they deliver via the integration that we are going to announce on Thursday. So, like that sort of covers everything we're working on.

After Dark Social Project - DaRuler – Community Manager
It really pays to be in spaces, you never know when you're going to get some Alpha dropped, and you've already given us some breadcrumbs today, so we appreciate that man.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Well, it'll be certainly tuning into that space on Thursday at 2 PM Mountain Time. That's going to be a great one.

Leemon Swap – Coffee – Head of Business Development
Heck yeah. And yeah, I just want to say that I, first became aware of the pie fight guys through Hash Farms, who introduced me to them, and then I met them at the Silicon slopes Summit at, uh, Salt Lake City. So, you know, ever since I spoke with them, you know, they've just been firing off, use case after use case, and really changing the industry from the inside out, which I think is something that's really revolutionary in the sense that they are a crypto company, but they are, conforming to what the expected changes are going to be, and really finding a solution that's going to be helpful for, existing companies and new companies that want to get into web3. So, I would definitely keep an eye out on what they're building and pretty much everything that they've come to market with thus far has been absolutely stellar. If you haven't read their white paper yet, I suggest you give it a read. It's a little long, but it's dense and it's got a lot of information there and very informative to say the least.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
We try to do the hard stuff so you guys don't have to. Yeah, and you know, I talked to Coffee a lot. I don't know if Coffee even wants me to dox this, but I live like 20 streets away from Coffee. Sorry about that, Coffee. And so getting to know Coffee has been cool. We might even work on some stuff in the future. Totally stoked. Also, I know I've talked a lot already, and I'd love to hear about other projects and talk about other projects. My one last little piece, I would love to collude with everybody on this call on a special thing that I want to do. I want to convince the Hbar foundation to create a streamlined grant to cover the first year's fees for any project that wants to come on the upside. So let's all bug the foundation about that and try to get that going.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Well, that is that is lit. Hello, Alpha today. That's fantastic. Thank you for that, Nostradamus.

The Crypto Show - JC
Sorry guys, totally a few minutes to get a fresh coffee.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Well, glad to have you back, JC. So for anybody not familiar with the crypto show, the crypto show is a watch-to-earn platform, and they are going to be releasing an NFT on the Hedera network. It's going to be really interesting to see that workout. Can you tell us a bit more about what you guys are building and maybe a bit more about yourself?

The Crypto Show - JC
Well, sure, yeah. We're a group of people working on a metaverse for starts and my first business is a realistic business in Europe. I've done this for 10 years and then I just invested in a studio called Dubbit, which is now the biggest developing studio on Roblox. We are 150 people in the business, and with the team of the crypto show, we wanted to bring not just an NFT project but mainly a utility project, which is as you said the watch-to-earn. So the main thing is we're developing a kind of a plug-in that streamers and influencers can plug in their live shows and people will earn crypto by watching their favorite show, a show that you've watched for many months or years already and that you love and you can interact with it and get specific skills. And you can activate new interactions if you own our NFT. That's the global project of the crypto show and, well Stallion because we are all together tonight, we would like to leak a few informations. Uh, so I think it's now time to get a mint date. What do you think? So the main type would be the 28th of this month of January and it will, of course, be on the Hedera network. And we hope that the whole community will be present. We love what we're doing.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Absolutely love the artwork. It's unique, it's spectacular. You could tell that a lot of time and energy was put into it, and that's really the first thing that I look at for a project: is the artwork great? And if the artwork is great, I want to collect the project. But to see a project that is building a genuine utility, for example, if I use your plug-in, I sign up for the service as a Twitch host. Let's say if I want to maximize my live audience. Like right now, we have 62 people in the channel, which is great. Everybody go ahead and retweet that space, let's get up to a hundred. But let's say if I wanted to consistently get maybe three, four, five hundred people in the space. Well, if I were to buy a user plug-in, sign up for your service, and essentially make my space one of the incentivized spaces, perhaps that would be huge. So now, each and every one of my listeners will have a tangible benefit from participation, as well as a maximized live audience effect, which really takes things to the next level.

After Dark Social Project - DaRuler – Community Manager
Yeah, I'm kind of embarrassed to say, but I've been into Discord for a little while now, and the reason I joined the Discord is because the art again, really stood out. But I haven't done my due diligence, I haven't done my research, and I actually accidentally entered a Joe High Times giveaway on Twitter today, and I think it was you who said, "Hey bro, this giveaway is over." My bad, but are you able to tell us what the total supply and demand prices are?

The Crypto Show - JC
Yeah, sure, of course. So, this is one maybe one specific project where you can obviously go very deep into the due diligence because we are so proud of what we've launched. And my, well, my very first business experience is, not boring, it's interesting, but it's very, very concrete and local, and it's real estate. And I love real estate, but it's not scalable. You need to have thousands of regulations, etc., etc. So, I cannot run a business if it's not 100 percent proof and you know what I mean. It's in my DNA. So, yes, please do your due diligence. I think you'll be pleased with it. And the first should be one one one one NFTs, so one thousand one hundred and eleven NFTs, and the mint price is right now not disclosable, but you will know about it very soon. But what I like to add is we will do them on our own app, so you will have the crypto show Dapp.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
That's going to be lit. And, by the way, the decision to not, not disclose the mid-price this long away from the mint is smart. With the volatility of the markets, we could have a three cent h-bar or nonsense h-bar and, honestly, that has to play a factor in, decision making. So, I'm all for waiting for the last week or the last few days to have a solid mint price. I think that's the correct thing to do for a project, even though it's not a not a not maybe not ideal. Well, I'm very, very excited for this. I know in the last space you had mentioned that the plug-in you're working on will ultimately work for both YouTube and, Twitter spaces, which is a really cool, really cool feature.

The Crypto Show - JC
Well, yes, what we like to do, obviously, is to enable the plugin for most of the influences in the world. So, this is where we think, well, my main idea was, uh, with the team is to say, how can we make it scalable? It's like, uh, I've worked 20 years again in real estate and this is not a scalable business and I and, uh, like you, you have to wake up at seven in the morning and at nine at night and in the end, and you just say, okay, I did this and this and this and I have to do the same thing tomorrow, otherwise it's not gonna run. So, my real estate business is doing well. It's approximately 200 people, the company is listed as, the Paris Stock Exchange. It's a great company, but I cannot see, um, well for me, there is no opportunity to make it 10 times bigger and this is where,  I got fond of uh, technology, web 3 meters, etc. is if you have a great idea and you do it well, you can make 10 times, 100 times, 1,000 times, something you cannot do in real estate in a local business.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Yeah, 100% agree, the scalability of software, in a particularly the being on the cutting edge of web3, I think is the, I think there's no better opportunity out there, bar none, like call this call this a bear market, call us whatever, uh, call this a crypto winter, this the opportunity is still here. People are still building great things here, look we have, we have HashPack with us, Leemon swap, the crypto show, creamies upside down, all of these projects, building in in the bear market building awesome technology and the pace, particularly on the hbar network on Hedera, the pace of development, the pace of innovation is exploding at a level that we've not seen. I've been in hbar since 2019 and I've seen it go from a very small community to this this absolute behemoth and largely driven by the nft community by the way like make no mistake the nft community on n Hedera is the lifeblood of the ecosystem and I think it's a huge reason why the network has become as popular as it is, look at polygon for example they have all the money in the world but there's no there's no like this polygon community. There's no uh, there's even though like they're having to pay nft projects to come to their Network, and honestly that's probably gonna flop for them. It's understandable why they're doing it, they've completely missed the community aspect of it and that's the thing I love most about about nfts, for me nfts are about about community, about making friends, and as far as like the profit and loss that's really not when I buy an nft I look at it as a completely set cost as well, like it's not a this is not a profit making venture for me personally but but it's certainly A certainly a fun a fun experience and they're definitely and there are don't get me wrong there are people flipping nfts for crazy crazy numbers, I just unfortunately am not one of them.

The Crypto Show - JC
So it's time for me to tell people how much the team is great because um first I my first impression was uh should we go on polygon and one of the approached me and wanted to deal with us for the crypto show and it was quite an appealing offer and unfortunately I cannot disclose more but still appealing off her and the team at crypto show said we should explore uh much more and expect much more from the blockchain and bet on the community so we explored a few blockchains and we all decided that Hedera was uh our new family.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I'm really really happy to see you guys building here that's for sure that I think I think this is going to be one of the more more exciting projects this year.

The Crypto Show - JC
Wow thank you and Ray Ray I saw you had your hand up did you have a question from sorry oh we just lost one of the audience members that had a question uh nope he's back adding them now.

After Dark Social – Rayray
I'm sorry I'm so sorry guys stealthy called me I did have a very good question I know that you uh you weren't able to disclose an amount for mint but do you have a range that you're looking to play with um in terms of USD and that was for the crypto show.

The Crypto Show - JC
Yeah no sorry good try though but you know really soon.

After Dark Social – Rayray
It was worth the effort like the ruler said yeah that's right.

The Crypto Show - JC
Yeah but absolutely thank you so much for um for the question and for your interest into the crypto show and it's just a few days left uh until uh their the price were a bit slow so yeah I'm sure the community will be happy with it.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Well excited for that and thank you so much for joining us today uh I have really excited for this project and happy to learn more um I see we have we have a HashPack with us today what is going on.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
Just hanging in there I'm sorry you joined late I want to just I mean I'm sure you guys already covered it I wanted to start by congratulating the Upside DAO Nate, the whole team, I mean that's massive news, long time coming so yeah, massive congratulations on that but yeah no, I mean I'm just here to listen to everyone and if anyone wants to you know talk about anything and we can add anything to the conversation but I'm happy to do it.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Oh absolutely, so HashPack, what are you guys working on any features at the moment? Do you have any Alpha for us? This is you know this is just between us.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
Okay yeah no so today we released some of the fixes to the bugs that we have been experiencing with the IOS app. We are still working on including some of the features that are you know that we all use and love on the both the browser extension and the Android app so we're working on that but you know obviously we have to deal with Apple on that front. Then yeah I mean we're working on a few different things we've been working very hard on secure trade V2. Hopefully that's going to come sooner rather than later, I know that a lot of people have been asking for secure trade for a revamp of the secure trade and so yeah so that's coming now. We're just trying to navigate the whole royalties thing with different types of tokens since I believe all the royalties are denominated in h-bar but I'm sure that Tyler, Nick and Jacob will find a way it's you know we have the whole concept built out it's just a matter of figuring out this this little details that that we want to make sure that obviously all the nft creators are getting paid through their royalties and so yeah so that's going to be coming soon.

I really love that secure transfer function, it essentially allows for people to safely engage in an OTC trade without getting without getting ripped off and we've seen we've seen a fair bit of that going on with particularly the people pretending to be founders or something in a Discord and quote unquote facility a third-party trade to skip royalties which by the way a founder will never do because it's the founder that's getting ripped off by that it's so yeah certainly aren't going to see me facilitating any swaps in the Discord but that's a really powerful feature and by the way the feedback I've gotten from basically everyone I've introduced to the Hedera network is that HashPack is bar none their favorite wallet. I mean it's so much better than Metamask so much better than the Phantom wallet you could tell a lot of a lot of time and energy has gone into making that wallet an absolute powerhouse and I I think there has been no better onboarding feature tool or app than the HashPack wallet so keep up the absolutely amazing work.

Leemon Swap – Coffee – Head of Business Development
Yeah I just wanted to echo that I mean HashPack is the only wallet I've ever used where I am not nervous at all about completing transactions, sending nfts whatever it is. Metamask, for some reason I don't care how many times I use it, still makes me nervous. Even the multi-sig we're using, still makes me nervous. I gotta double check, triple check everything with. I mean, obviously, you should still do that, but with HashPack, it's just you know, I have so much confidence when I'm using it, which is completely different than the user experience with any of the wallets that are out there for other DLTs. So just from a user experience, I mean obviously your design is fantastic as well, but just from a user experience perspective, you guys knocked it out of the park and I know May that was her main concern and she crushed it so that's just my two cents.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
Yeah, yeah, I'd really appreciate it. I mean that's definitely something we spent a ton of time and we almost just whenever we start building anything like we kind of just put our like newbie hats on and try to just almost you know pretend that we're our grandparents and try and figure out like if this is something that would be easy for them. I mean, I'm obviously biased but I'm with you in terms of with that um coffee um you know I've used Phantom and Metamask and all of them, I always kind of kind of scared but like that's one of the main things that within the team we really focus on, we really want to make it easy. That's also one of the reasons we recently released the details on the sticking tab so people because one of the main things that we were hearing is that people didn't really know what rewards that we're getting and obviously you could go back to your history tab and find it all but now with the expanded details now everyone can just go back in there and really figure it out but yeah I mean I think that there's definitely things that we can improve but like we're working on it we were really excited with the release of the new email onboarding because we believe that that's really going to make it a lot easier for people that are not web3 native and at the same time we still have the traditional you know private key and Seed phrase thing if you go and lot of people actually are not aware of that like if you just click on Advanced wallet creation that you can still Retrieve you know get your account as normal as it was before but yeah I mean that's definitely something that we take a lot of time and we just really want to make sure that it's as easy to use as possible and that's one of the main reasons why we haven't released secure trade V2 not only because of the um implications with royalties and so on but also because we want to make it very very easy for anyone to use it and on the secure topic the other day I was seeing some stats and I was actually kind of amazed by the amount of trading volume that we've seen with secure trade over obviously granted this is all 2022 but I think that we're like when compared with the all the nft marketplaces I think we're taking around like 20% to 25% percent of the entire traded volume of nfts in Hedera through secure trade.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
I just wanted to say for a sec too I mean we've worked so closely with the HashPack team you know over more than a year now these you know there's a lot of wallets in Hedera but the speed with which you know they work with partners and the like care that they put into improving and thinking about new functionality and stuff like that is just unmatched and you know I think that having multiple wallets and competition in an ecosystem is good, and I think you know the way we've done Hashgraph Name proves that. But man, like the team at HashPack is so good that like the way I feel about it is yes there's other wallets but honestly like if you want to compete with HashPack, good luck. I don't know how you would do that, you certainly can't do it via traditional means. They are an incredible organization.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
Thank you so much Nate. No, we put a lot of time we have a very strong belief in the community and at the end of the day I mean I feel like most of us here feel the same way just from conversations that we've all had and I think that at the end of the day what's most important is to grow the pie and do it together because if you know if everyone just kind of starts running on their own direction you know if one thing clicks maybe the rest of the people won't figure it out then it will actually hurt the entire network so yeah I know that's something that we work very hard we like to hop on calls so if anyone ever wants to get in a contact shoot us a DM more than happy to get back to you guys and chat and whatever you guys are doing. I think it's very important and I'd say the same for everyone here and pretty much everyone building on Hedera I feel like that's very unique to this network and I think that as we grow this is going to be our job to maintain this type of almost like network culture but I I'm not really worried you know having everyone here.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Totally and I don't know if you knew this but the reason why you know our company the parent company of upside and Hashgraph name is called pie-fi is because our slogan is the more you slice the pie the bigger it gets.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
Yep I saw that on the on the interview with Solomon so yeah I know I really like that so yeah 100% I mean that's really really clever and yeah I totally feel identified with that.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I see we have Ray Ray with us who is one of the founders of the After Dark Social Club which is a project that I'm quite excited for. A lot of really really cool people got my absolute Brother stealthy in the project who is a good friend of mine also one of the founders do you wanna could you tell us more about the project what you guys are working on and what you're bringing to the Hedera space?

After Dark Social – Rayray
I mean I'm going to be honest here I could but uh I have no Alpha to give you right now other than what most people in here have already heard but um we are um we're trying we're aiming to go completely cross-chain we're trying to bring eyes to Hedera liquidity into Hedera um using our connections in Solana and Ethereum. We've brought over a bunch of people from Algo, our communities playing a big role in that. I see people in the crowd like, Haizoku, um we have guys in our in our server like Schwitz who have brought over all kinds of people from XRP and are shilling us to their Dao so it's bringing a lot of positivity to Hedera so far from what we've seen. As far as what we're building, again I'm no fun today, I can't be fun today, especially not with stealthy around to stop me. So, I'm happy to field any questions, but basically what we're doing is we're doing our best to bring as many eyes and as much liquidity into the Hashgraph as possible.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I love that bro. That's a bullish pitch and by the way, I'm all for keeping uh keeping secrets and keeping people waiting for what comes next. You don't have to give them the whole the whole enchilada all at once. You gotta give it to them in invitefuls.

After Dark Social – Rayray
Yeah, I'm personally I'm one of those guys that enjoys the chase right. So, I know all about that.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Yeah, I think no one has done that better than the dead pixels on Hedera like who the hell knows what they're working on. I have no idea it's been.

After Dark Social – Rayray
I have a personal beef with smart. I'm not gonna lie.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
That robot needs to whitelist me or we're gonna have some issues. I'm gonna have to let that robot know that he doesn't know who I am and he's gonna need to find out.

After Dark Social – Rayray
Absolutely, but um I don't want to take any time away from any of these projects because um I've really really enjoyed what I've heard so far. Uh, Nostradamus dude that's your pitch was incredible, I can't even believe what I heard from you so that's real. I'm I will be in contact with you, I promise you that, and also HashPack, expect a message from us also.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Thanks man. I love the project by the way I'm currently in the Discord and I'm like way busy and sort of inundated and so I don't know how to get whatever token I need but I'd love to be a part of it.

After Dark Social – Rayray
All you got to do is send me a message and we'll fix that.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I see we also have Maddie from the PengLabs team with us today, what is going on my friend?

Penglabs - Maddie
Yo, how's it going?

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Doing good man. I hear you guys have a mint coming up, you want to tell us tell us a bit more about what you guys are working on and a bit more info on the mint date as well.

Penglabs - Maddie
When that's the 21st, nothing leads me to believe it won't be so awesome. What we're working on man so complicated it's a complicated question because we're kind of doing two things right. So we're building we're building tools you know that kind of don't exist on Hedera that are kind of more common on like chains Solana and stuff but behind all that you know we're building some infrastructure stuff for Hedera you know we're working with Hashport to build the Solana Bridge. That's confirmed yeah we've been on I mean they've given us like the official onboard email so I mean yeah that's going to be huge. Although there's been no real you know there's gonna be a lot of public announcements, I kind of give you guys some stuff a little early, but I mean, I mean this was like, three days ago, so I think I'm in the clear. I don't think, well, I might get in trouble, but whatever, uso in lieu of that, we've actually just hired two new devs, which I'm sure will have some like Public Announcement, you know, meet the beat the new the new guys kind of thing.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
If projects aren't getting in trouble on one of my spaces then that's uh that we've that I've failed like uh I mean I'm the best guy to do it.

Penglabs - Maddie
I'm okay with that. I mean I gotta tote the line somehow, our team's you know, I know I'm biased but like I'm kind of impressive, you know you got our lead Dev selling his first software to Google at age 13. Our administrative organized guy is a Captain in the US Army.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I mean, John had what am I doing absolutely Chad by the way, uh, he's uh this is one of the best human beings I've met in web3. When I got honestly like he's uh he's absolutely he's impossible not to like right awesome yeah like uh he is he is just a genuinely good human being and uh as as are you Maddie well and well I consider both of you friends and but I understand.

Penglabs - Maddie
I'm the guy to fall in the Spirit you know that's I'm okay with you know that's kind of my existence here, I'm here to talk and to share and to you know illuminate so but as long as I don't get a message and you know one of our meetings saying don't share this Maddie I think I'm okay so yeah the things are going great I have a lot of stuff coming our first build out I think is nearly completion which is uh you know it's like again it's a lot of stuff magika it's basically the same thing it's just a UI version of the kind of bots that you guys use and make things a little easier for control you know laying out your Discord um roles and you know proof of ownership for wallets and all that stuff yeah so I know you guys use Bots right now I think but you don't have like the UI component right Yeah there's no way to really customize it uh personally you have to like work with the Creator so this is something that's just can you know again in detail very customizable all the way down to the traits of your project so you can assign roles via traits and all that stuff very easy for the UI and then also that data is you know kind of being you know um offered for you know for future projects to be on board if People are signed up on it I think that's why the beauty of Magicka works so well it's like people are using the platform that everyone's already on like it's just it's just kind of seamless um so when you're on boarding new people into your project you know the workload is very easy as far as getting them dialed in on their Discord and getting them the right roles in the right rooms and the right stuff so yeah so there's that and that's like lots and lots of it.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
No, I think we're missing we're missing maybe representation from two or three other projects, but as far as like the genuine Builders, I think we've got just about everyone in this space, minus Patches and a few others. Oh yeah, dude, this is great, I PengLabs incredibly bullish for them and Incredibly bullish for Leemon swap, which we've, we've not discussed today, uh, coffee. Uh, I just want to want to say that the UI that you guys have unveiled, particularly for the dark mode for Leemon Swap, is by far on God, dead ass, the best UI I have seen in any doubt period, not just text any dex, and even even better than what what we've built on unfortunately, uh, it's truly clean, it's like like props to props to that your UI designers, art directors are really the best in the best in the space. I put you guys at Number one, so just incredibly, I, I think it's a huge accomplishment what you guys have felt already what you've unveiled, and I think this is from a DEFI perspective, this is the single most excited I am for any project in the space.

Leemon Swap – Coffee – Head of Business Development
I appreciate that, yeah, we still we've only shown the swap interface thus far, we have liquidity, obviously as well as the Farms that are going to be coming out soon for everyone to see, including a dark mode for each, so I've pushed on dark mode pretty heavily because that's basically all I use, so I'm a dark mode Maxi so to speak, uh, but yeah, I mean our UI team is Next Level, I mean best I've ever worked with personally, so uh really excited to get some stuff out for you guys and um we actually drafted a or released a um an article on the framework we're using, I don't know if somebody can grab it, let me grab it from William and swapping pin it to the top, but if you don't know what Trident is, I suggest reading this article just to get a better idea of I just Pinned it up to the top of the capabilities of what Sushi swap brought to Market, this past summer and it's an open source license so that's what we're using to build out our dex obviously on top of that we have our aggregator, but that's a completely separate function to increase the capital efficiency, but the underlying framework is something that was originally built by Sushi Swap and then open sourced and it allows us to have you know an assortment of different pool types, like a stable swap, which is essentially a hybrid pool, something called concentrated liquidity, which you guys will probably be using without even knowing initially and then obviously the classic constant product pool and all these different types are essentially to create A more Capital efficient decentralized exchange that reduces the price impact for any of your swaps and really the main reason that we want to bring this to Hedera is because with the available products out right now we're really not going to bring over any uh large traders or whales that you know need to efficiently get in and out of stable coins, need to be able to efficiently swap between you know Whatever they're trading, so giving them a more Capital efficient market is what's gonna, I think move the needle in terms of defi adoption on Hedera and that's our hope with these two, uh, functionalities. The first being the framework of trident from Sushi Swap and then the second being our aggregator and I'm going to be posting an article about the aggregator as well for those that don't really understand its function or why it would be useful, but really what it comes down to is you know if you could trade, if you could save you know ten dollars every single time you did a swap, would you use that new platform and with an aggregator, you're basically able to do that and I'll show you obviously depends on the size of your trade, but if you're doing anything from medium to high, you're gonna substantially save money, uh, especially for token pairs that are uh on multiple dexes, you're gonna be able to save a substantial amount of money, so I'll detail that and send it off to you guys and hopefully you enjoy the content.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I'm quite excited for that bro, that's going to be be lit. Is that a is that Guac we see on the creamies Account?

Creamies - Guac
Nothing much, nothing much, just had a busy day of classes and coming back and chilling with the community, doing what I love.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
That what's uh what's what's said what's new with creamies? What are you guys working on at the moment?

Creamies - Guac
So we're in our kind of our build Time for the next few months because we're having uh I can't really reveal too much, but this is kind of already known but we're building a game and it's gonna be a mobile game and it's we have a lot of we have a lot of things planned, it's gonna tie in with a lot of our in-game ecosystem as well, but yeah that's really all I can divulge at this moment, otherwise monkey will beat me so it's just exciting it's gonna be a little quiet from us, not gonna hear a little not too much from us for a while but we're cooking, you know we're cooking.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I love to hear that, now's a good time to be building and what you guys have done with cream lands definitely everybody should go to cream lands and check it out, go to creamlands right now and what and what you'll see is uh Gangster's Paradise has taken over one of the islands.

Creamies - Guac
Yeah, I believe it's always funny to see each week I come on, I see like a different project just taking over  I love it, it's like uh it's just getting some exposure. I'm also seeing some new projects I haven't heard of or seen so it's nice, it's nice, I'm getting like an up-to-date information almost what's uh what's new in the space uh and also our staking platform has been live now for a few weeks as well so if you have any creamies or lands or Master creamers you can stake them. Our claim was down for maintenance for the past few days, but that is also live as of today, actually this morning. So, you can start daily claiming or accruing or compounding it. Well, you don't actually have to daily claim anymore, so you can claim whenever you feel like. I'm gonna be coin flipping all mine away. So, Yeah, it's crazy, actually, um, the coin flip game uh past a few weeks we started seeing a little uptick on that and uh, someone went pretty much like full d-gen into it, um, so it's crazy. I think they flipped something like close to 200 000 hbar and uh, yeah we had we had no idea and uh, but then they reached out to us and we were just like holy crap that's crazy because there was a couple of failed Transactions so we got them sorted out, but yeah it was wild and they really love it, they love the game and that they think like it just kind of keeps them um kind of preoccupied a bit and keep them engaged so it was it was nice.

After Dark Social – DaRuler – Community Manager
Did you just say that there's no longer requirement to do the daily  cream?

Creamies - Guac
Yeah so exactly so basic you just take your nfts and you just let it compound as you wish and whenever you Feel like you can just come back in and click on the claim button and that's it, it'll just keep uh and keep accruing.

After Dark Social – DaRuler – Community Manager
Thank God because I've been having to claim daily and it's just uh it's a tedious process to go in there and just get it on a daily basis because I have a lot in there but I just can't get it all at once so that's good. And also one more quick question, are you still having to uh manually approve the images that are being submitted for you for the cream lands or is that now a little more out of my automated.

Creamies - Guac
So uh the process is still manual because like I said it's for moderation purposes so far no one has really breached it but like the issue is if we start transitioning towards an automatic I feel like it might just start flipping through the cracks but just so you know we do have we do have more we do have extra people that are regularly checking and every day I myself am checking and approving requests but if there is like an emergency to get to want your land or your plot request to prove just you know reach out and I'll and I'll do it straight away.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
You know it's I mean it's a it's a fantastic advertising tool so for example so Gangster's Paradise is minting our Gold Member pass tomorrow and one of the things that we did in in preparation is we coordinated the plots That we own which happen to be on the same island as the plots my friend evil Morty and his partner of and between them they've created a pretty effective advertising business so basically one of the ways that we got our mint date out which is Wednesday January 18th at 4 pm UTC on a new launch pad called Alchemist Labs, which is yet to make its official debut, we're going to actually be this first project that they launched with or that actually that uses their platform and they're a really really impressive team over there so really excited to be uh to be the guinea pig for these guys and they're good people. I've known some of their devs for quite a while and they're building really cool stuff. They're not just building a launch pad but they're I'll let them speak for themselves but uh Alchemist Labs is certainly going to be a project to uh to look out for and uh we'll be able to test that that in action uh tomorrow so that'll be where we're minting that's that's a bit Alpha we've not unveiled that yet and uh I really hope to see uh see you guys tomorrow. As for whitelist if anybody is looking at a white list uh the white list mint passes which are just called the Gangster's Paradise or not it's not even called that it's called this the Gold Member pass, the Whitelist token they're trading really really cheap right now on Zuse it's basically after Wednesday they're not going to have they're going to be burned with the with the mint process so those are not going to have any like continued utility in the ecosystem which is different from our trinkets collection which are going to have uh continued utility. We've already air dropped one which was a uh which is a poker chip uh poker chip nft that's going to have utility in in some of our casino games and uh I'm happy to say that we've internally taken some of the first looks at the user interface for some of our casino games already and we'll be unveiling those in the not too distant future but there are certainly a couple changes that that need to be made to the version that we have at the moment so we're going to be bringing roulette, Blackjack and Texas Holdem for starters to the to the Hedera ecosystem and that's going to be a hell of a lot of fun. We're actually partnered with Leemon Swap and their juice token is going to be one of the first tokens on offer on our platform so that's going to be really really cool to see and I think that's going to be I think it's going to be a hell of a good partnership and really stoked for the casino and for bringing more and more and more games to the network and we have uh some sometimes on these really late night spaces I'll get carried away and talk about some of our some of our future plans uh beyond that uh that have something to do with horses uh but well that'll that's a that's a tale for another day so we're minting tomorrow for the white list mint and the day after is is the public mint but it would be it'd be crazy not to to buy a white list token to Mint for the Whitelist mint while you can because the uh there's there are no spots reserved for the public mint it's just basically anything that's left over we'll go to the public event at an increased price. So definitely want to pick up one of those white lists if you're interested.

Penglabs - Matty
I actually have a general question because I've seen a lot of people building games good over here. Yeah, and somebody reached out for the community and actually said they need this so I want to see what the need is but is everyone else running into an issue with not having an SDK for the unity um I guess we're locking a plug-in for wallet verification for the game.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Oh I will I will tell you this bro if there is anything that that you and Genji are building that could be that could be useful on that end especially in say the like the wallet plug-in Perspective for some of this content I'm going to certainly put you guys in touch with our development team because we would we'd love to use anything that you built.

Penglabs - Matty
Yeah well someone was asking us if we can make that plug-in so they can you know make the SDK so people can start linking wallets to Unity so.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
I've heard this I've heard this issue from a few projects um as well. So like if you need to talk to someone that's having the same issue we might just be speaking about the same project. I don't want to say who it is in public but yeah and if you'd like me to put you in contact with them I'm more than happy to as well.

Penglabs - Matty
Well I know I know who asked me I'm just saying is there anyone does anyone else know anyone building it or is this a big need or other people?

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I think this is an ease we're not at that phase yet uh so I think when the time is right or at least on the from the say the playable Gallery perspective uh which will be in unity though the casino stuff is that that's easy on a wallet side but the but the like as far as like the actual say metaverse integration say with wallets if you guys are building a utility for that we would certainly be you know we're down to be the guinea pigs there as well we'll try anything you guys build.

Penglabs - Matty
Yeah we just like to keep we keep in you know a list of um uh points of barriers for business for Hedera so like we'd like to keep that list so we can check it and see if someone will start building it if not then we can you know um possibly tackle it you gotta keep everything flowing here man.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
That's amazing. Yeah, certainly we'll put Genji in touch with our devs and we should I should have it make it like a dedicated Dev deaf Channel. We've got uh I mean there's so many so many uh just out of this world Dev including Nostradamus by the way his you know top top tier uh but we've got Genji patches and Nostradamus uh and the the Leemon swap development team is uh is Stellar the crypto show development team uh in particular they've got Some deep Talent there and some really experienced folks from the ethereum network and what's been really interesting to see for me is you know you look at patches patches I I would say from a from a Dev side is you know a truly Hedera native developer he's cut his teeth here it's not necessarily uh like a an ethereum smart contract developer. But it has deep knowledge of the ins and outs of the Hedera network. Then we have Genju on the Peng Labs team who's, you know, top respected and one of the best developers working on the Solana network. Uh, widely, he's a, you know, he's actually a fairly well-known guy in the space. He may be new to Hedera but, uh, but paying Soul now paying Labs, uh, and Genji are actually quite, uh, quite for Life a better word, famous people, famous projects on that network. Uh, and to see him come with his, this background and rust, and you know, decades of development experience to see what he's bringing to the table at Hedera I think is huge. And then you have folks like, uh, the development team from the crypto show for example that are Ethereum solidity developers, first and foremost that are, that have, uh, that have are have migrated their talents to the JavaScript side, on Hedera and kind of see those three different perspectives all building, you know, amazing products, all developers with multiple decades of experience is, uh, is really a powerful thing to see. Go ahead, HashPack, yeah.

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
So, just a sidebar on the unity stuff. So I was just chatting with our CTO Tyler and he said that, they're investigating the unity wallet integration and that, since Hashconnect is open source, if you guys have any input, so that's more for Maddie, we're more than happy to take a look into it and try and help in any way that we can. We've received people asking for Unity stuff, in the past, so yeah, so we're more than happy to help in any way.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Cool, man Hbar, Joe, uh, what is going on, my friend? What give us, uh, give us some earthlings Alpha man?

Earthlings – HBAR Joe
I am loving everything in here today. This has been great. So finally, I get to say something other than pay attention, it'll happen soon. Um, we have officially announced the dates for the land mint and prior to that we're doing a surprise meant for some stamps to test the new, uh, launch with Headstarter. So, um, on the let me get the information here so I don't mess it up, on the 23rd, Founders card holders will have some lead time to Mint the stamps that are things just produced, and then after that, if you hold any earthlings nft, you'll have time to Mint a stamp, and then if there are any left over, it'll go to public and what's cool about this, they're only 10 Hbar each which is amazing, and all of those funds are going back into some surprise stamps that will have a trade-in value on them for Hbar. So it's completely just a test, not trying to raise any funds or anything, but we won't have any more snapshots or white list tokens that we'll have to send out. So for the mint on the stamps, if you have a wallet and you have a Founder's card, you just go to the mint, click on it, the system looks into the wallet, verifies your wallet verifies your NFT, you meant, and the NFT is minted at that exact moment. So that'll run on the 23rd and 24th, I believe. And then, on the 31st, starts the land mint for the FC holders, Towns and Villages, that's the Mets. And then, today, to get people talking about the land we have towns that are going to be in the water. So, if you look at our map, there'll be all of Europe is starting towns and Villages, everything's connected by trains and some of the towns are out in the water. And we put a picture of that up on Twitter and there's a contest, side-by-side pictures, find the differences and then submit your answers, and there's a giveaway for um three different pins for randomly drawn correct answers. So a lot of cool stuff going on. It's been nice today not having to keep secrets, so I'm glad I'm in here and get to tell people what's going on.

After Dark Social – DaRuler – Community Manager
Joe, I'm extremely frustrated. I've only been able to find five differences. I'm about to blow up your DMs for the out of Five there is a trick to it.

Earthlings – HBAR Joe
It took me about 30 minutes and I will say this, there are 11 differences, and you only have to find five of them and I did not know those until today and had some down time before this spaces, and uh, I found 10 and I still don't know the 11th.

After Dark Social – DaRuler – Community Manager
So wait, I only have to know five? Okay, that changes things. And let me submit these.

Earthlings – HBAR Joe
You find 10 of the 11 and submit it.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Yeah, that uh, that's a bit too complicated for me. I can't figure that out.

What do we what do we get if we uh find all the differences?

Earthlings – HBAR Joe
So there's um, there are three pins, there's um, the new PIN that's a magnifying glass, there's a classic one of those and then a denim one of those, and I think they're only 60 of those total and only 15 in circulation and then the other is the diver pin. So, all of the correct submissions will go in, and then they'll draw the three winners out for those. So um, pretty valuable pins. So different than if you played the games growing up where the pictures are side by side and you just find the difference. And there's a link in the Twitter, I'll actually um, post it up top so anybody that wants to spend some time playing it can and you don't have to own anything earthlings to win.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
That's lit. This is going to be an exciting month. We've got a number of straight mints coming up. We've got Gangsters Paradise tomorrow, uh, we've got uh Pang Labs on Saturday, uh, the 21st, we've got uh the crypto show on the 28th and uh, earthlings. I know we have one of the mints was on the 31st, was there a second one this month as well? Yeah, stamps will be on the 23rd and those are 10 Hbar each, so it's a fun one to test the new launch with head starter. Excellent, so that'll be Monday that'll excellent. I'm excited for that one, and uh, we also have some whitelist spots to give away for the crypto show. So for anybody that's listened to this Space that's looking for a whitelist spot, the best thing to do would be to go to their Discord, uh, jump in and I believe there's a there's a form there that they can that they can fill out and you’ll getting a lot of the community involved and really engaging with the people who are using our products and services. So, if you go to the first of the pinned messages, we see the uh sneak peek at their whitelist token, which is absolutely fantastic looking, really well made, and again, some of the best artwork I've seen in a while. It's a very unique and excellent. Does anybody else have anything they want to want to share before we wrap up the space?

HashPack Wallet – Marc Ugas – Director of Operations
Again, congratulations, Upside DAO, that's massive massive news. So just wanted to end with that. Yeah, congratulations.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Oh yeah, Nostradamus, you guys have been knocking it out of the park and thank you for joining the space today and uh and sharing so much Alpha with us. Uh, it's been a read their white paper.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Yes, please, please read the white paper. I appreciate it, man. Um, I love Hedera. You know, we looked at a number of chains. I have really good friends who are uh well, some of them are really good friends um who are core builders on Solana. We also looked at Solana but um we just like the community here, we like the tech, we think it's going places and we want to provide high-quality infrastructure that's going to meet the needs of projects that want to embrace this technology today and tomorrow. So, yeah, please go read our white paper, if you are a tokenized project, you know, reach out to me, go to Upside.coop. You know, I don't want to cause any uh I don't want to cause any riffs here, but you know the first projects that really get on the upside Co-op and are imbuing their token holders with real ownership in the project are going to have a real leg up competing with you know competing for the money that people use to buy nft projects so maybe that's not a popular thing to say on a on a on a space with a bunch of tokenized Projects but it's going to be a big deal and we really want the community in on it so, so reach out, let's talk about it.

After Dark Social Project - DaRuler – Community Manager
And listen Nostradamus, I was looking away from my screen earlier and I could have sworn it was patches talking, you guys have a similar voice, so you're officially doppelgangers and I even had to uh DM Stallion and ask him bro is this patchy speaking out did something switch up while I was gone? So that's uh definitely a compliment, so don't take it the wrong way.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
No, somebody called the internet, please, thank you patches. He's uh he's not allowed on Twitter anymore.

Hashgraph Name & Upside Co-op – Nate Western – Head of Web3
Patches, one of the cool things about what we've been doing over the past couple weeks is I get to talk to Patches like five times a week, so uh he's really bullish about both of our projects. We're deeply working with him on some cool stuff that hasn't even been announced yet. Um, and I love working with the guys. So that is quite the comparison and I appreciate it.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Uh, go ahead solo gang gang yo.

Community Member
Uh, thank you for having me up here. Uh, I just want to say actually, I'll be the flowers guy, Stallion, man. Uh, you came in like a storm, you know? Dpgc family loves you, dead pixels family, and uh, I remember the day you came, we dedicated uh, we actually named it day after you, bro. Uh, it's just great to see your growth, and uh, you're hosting one of the, you know, the spaces is gaining that momentum slowly, and appreciate it a lot. You're involved with so many projects and um, just appreciate all that you're doing and becoming a prominent figure in the space. And I just want to say good to have you back, guac. Uh, good to hear you and uh, I know you were kind of M.I.A for a bit, um, and yeah, bro, just super bullish on stallion. You know, obviously, I got a Shout out to that pixels and uh, after dark that's uh, you know, they're doing big things and uh, yeah, bro, respect.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
Oh, you are too kind. Thank you so much for that, my friend. That uh, that's really touching.

Community Member
Nah, you deserve it man, you've been you've been hustling hard and you know what, hard work uh has to be appreciated because as much as everybody obviously wants to develop themselves, um, the benefit that the space as a whole gets is uh, you know, people don't, they might say oh yeah, he's building his brand, but yeah, but at the same time, the benefit that the space is getting from you hustling and working with like multiple projects, it's more than a full-time job, so appreciate it a lot.

Gangsters Paradise – Stallion - Founder
I appreciate that, bro, and uh, and the Hedera community is second to none. Uh, there's nothing like the Hedera community. And that's if it wasn't for, I mean, sure, that the tech is genuinely better, and is the rate at which corporate use cases for example are expanding is second to none, but the community is uh, I think one of the most one of the most intelligent, respectful and mature communities anywhere in crypto, and uh, it has been uh, uh, it has been a a privilege to be a part of it. And that will that will conclude uh, today's Hedera Super Space. Uh, there'll be there'll be more to come, uh, thank you guys, uh, definitely go ahead and retweet the space again, uh, this is recorded, uh, tons of Alpha on this one, so uh, if anybody's looking for some more upside upside down uh, Alpha we've certainly got it got it here, that's for sure, so take care guys until next time, uh, we'll see you then.
