    Yeah, I tried to contribute. Luckily it was over quick and the goal was not the end-product. More participation than anything. I didn't understand how bonus points were earned at all though. Absolute chaos. Ha. Would be better with 2-5 people most likely.

    JFC, buying an ICO at launch is stressful.

    For gridverse you can just click opt out you know. :emoji_sunglasses:

    It's not like you get a bonus or anything like his other games for sticking around to the end.

    It ended quick, and I'm pretty sure they didn't care about having a proper paper at the end of it. It was an experiment. I'll take the dollar. I actually chuckled at some of the crap being written. Somebody mentioned that it might be a test for spotting plagiarism... Or, it might just be a psychology experiment. I thought it was funny

    I thought that qualification said CAT OWNER, so I was pretty disappointed in this one.

    It was a blank screen for me too in Firefox, but I opened it in Chrome and it worked. Usually if a hit is blank or won't load in FF, it will in Chrome, at least for me.

    I sold about $8k in coin, at today's prices, to move into this place as I got my lease terminated. Frankly tho that was my initial investment so I'm out nothing... that's like a sunk cost fallacy or something? Gambler's fallacy anyway. "If only I had...." which, oddly, I don't suffer from beside my many other vices.

    I'm pretty excited though but I gave up an early career in Coin as it's just... it's a fookin' mess, man.

    It was Chrome for me but it looked like I missed out on nothing? Left it up for 15 mins or so, not knowing at all what it was just as a gen. HIT strategy... I never tried FF... screw it bad $1 sounds like.
