A different kind of š§µ, reflections on the team, and why Iām so fucking bullish as we build for the future of @DegenSweepers.
1/ First, it has been an absolute pleasure and an honor to work with these mfers, an international team of the most base hardworking degens a project manager could ever wish for, everyone on the team brings a new meaning to LFGGGGGG.
2/ @ryuk_dev and his team (@AcieDotEth and Flofi at @Ryuk_Labs ) are fucking masters of what they do, we brought Ryuk on to secure our discord, of which ofc he did, and from there it was an obvious choice to bring him on to the team ...

[THREAD] What the fuck is going on with NFTs on Elrond?

Let's go back in time.
Mid October I bought my first nfts on Elrond, @LightningNFT and @Gnogen emidas act 5, sold p2p on discord. Then, November the 2nd, first mint on Elrond : @ElrondPunks that I'm able to sell 10x mint price.
Man that felt good after getting rekt on Solana.

Now we fast forward to when @EGLDIsTheWay reveals his Metaverse ambitions with the Gnogencon and Gnogons collection.
Everyone is impressed and welcomes him as Elrond's conductor. Gnogen dao becomes a safe investment.

UNDERSTAND CROSS-CHAIN BRIDGE
Currently, there are numerous bridges, which are constructed to connect Solana to other blockchains. But do we truly understand what bridges are?

1(cont.) than an hour before the mint, you likely have not done enough research and should probably skip

Thugbirdz is a collection of 3,333 uniquely generated, tough and collectible birds, that are also thugs.

They were created by @0x_thug, a one man show inspired by @DegenApeAcademy & @SolanaMBS NFTs. He bootstrapped the entire project himself and designed the art. (Devs & community managers came later).

We've gone gold! 100 unique arts and metadata generated by AI are dropping 25th September with the first collection "World Cities"! Check the mint page here: worldcities.aiphotos.art
Unique traits generated by GPT-3.
GPT-3 was trained on the context of talking about cities and then proceeded to generate metadata (traits and description) for each one of the 100 cities available in this collection.

Unique art generated using high-end deep learning focused GPUs.
We have used cloud GPUs to run deep learning AI which received the name and description of each city and then generated a unique PNG for each of them. All images do not have any human interference.

THE GROWING STABLECOIN SUPPLY ON #SOLANA
Lately, the USDC supply has achieved $2.5B and the number is $1.14B with USDT. The steady growth showed that the big money flow is ready to come into projects on Solana as well as the TVL.

THE GROWING STABLECOIN SUPPLY ON #SOLANA
As can be seen from the table, we calculated the growth in terms of percentage between times to times each minting event of a stable coin. The statistics show a growth rate of 138% with USDT and 120% with USDC.

With all that projection, we expected that with a steady growth rate currently, the USDT supply would be able to balance the USDC supply after a 5 minting event of both stable coins. Let the time answer this.

So, how do you identify a good NFT project?
Some of my learnings below:š§µ š #NFT #NFTs #SolanaSummer #Solana #SolanaNFTs
1/ Engagement: a great level of activity, replies and responses from mods & community members. Look at their twitter and discord to analyze # of followers and the team's responsiveness and how well they answer questions. @DegenApeAcademy & @SolanaMBS do this particularly well.
Projects with 10k+ members in their discord and ~5k+ in their twitter typically signal good traction.
Meanwhile projects that don't even have their own dedicated discord are ones to be wary of e.g. @solpunks @boldbadgersquad are owned by & sitting in @SolanartNFT's servers.

3/ Now we'll want to create our NFT media itself. Take your beloved jpegs (actually the should be .png lol) and add them to a folder (e.g. in the root dir), naming them `0.png`, `1.png` etc.
A quick primer on how generative models have evolved!
š§µ
š§µ
For most of the last few years, 'Generative Adversarial Networks' were the best. Very simply, they played two AI's off against each other, the generator tried to trick the discriminator into believing the images it made were real, while the discriminator tried to distinguish them
But it is terrifically difficult to balance their training. It is easy for the discriminator to become so good that the generator cannot trick it - which mean's the generator no longer has any positive examples to learn from.
Launching from stealth mode, @ContrastiveNFT is a new NFT art collection focused on harnessing our imaginations through generative AI built on @Solana āØ
š§µ
š§µ
Contrastive harnesses state of the art transformer models to distill our collective imagination. What prompt do you think led to this image?
We were inspired by the power of generative models to give life to scenes previously locked within our minds. This allows for a new era of personalised expression, and lays the foundations for truly immersive experiences as the technology matures. Holo deck v0.1!

1) The first round of @samoyedcoin #airdrops has been finished!!! We had amazing response and in just two days time we gave away around 1.6m $SAMO! 8.4m left to go!!! The @samoyedcoin community is absolutely amazing and we were so happy to see so many new join!
2) Many new people from the @solana community are now part of the #SAMOArmy! The last epoch's performance is below. This is the performance across all validators on the network. To everyone who staked tokens, thank you for staking with #GenesysGo!!!!
3) A couple of housekeeping items: Epoch 187 just wrapped up. Everyone who staked with us during Epoch 187 received 100 SAMO for every 1 $SOL they staked. *PLEASE NOTE: IF YOUR STAKE SAYS ACTIVATING THEN THAT MEANS YOU STAKED IN THE NEW CYCLE AND YOUR DROP IS COMING IN 3 DAYS*

1) A quick primer on how to stake SOL tokens (with GenesysGo)!
Obviously, we all love @solana and especially our $SOL tokens. If you're a long term investor, planning to hold your SOL until it is $1k+ and beyond, then it's important you are getting the most out of your tokens.

2) By staking your Solana tokens you are directly helping to power the network! In return, you are paid an APR in SOL that compounds into more SOL. It's important to note, staking a Layer 1 token (like Solana) is different than staking a Layer 3 like Raydium.
3) APR for staked Solana tokens is calculated based on the performance of the validator node you stake with. Validator nodes are one of the engines that power Solana by voting on and building blocks. The better a validator performs, the more APR it generates for you!
