The nifty show.
S2 (00:03):
Welcome to the nifty show, Joel. I'm flying solo today.
I'm going to get right to the point. It's been
almost three years since the nifty show first began, and
it began in response to the passion that both Travis
Wright and I had for Nfts in Digital Collectibles. We
first started covering the space back in December 2017 on
(00:25):
the Bad Crypto podcast, and unless somebody proves to us otherwise,
I believe we were the first podcast ever to cover Nfts.
But we didn't call them NFT because we didn't know
that was the terminology. We called them digital collectibles, which
interestingly enough, people are now going back to that again.
And of course it was summer of 2020 when we
(00:47):
launched the first Blockchain Heroes collection on the Wax Blockchain.
We've released four collections since then, and many of you
who listen to the show own a good number of
blockchain heroes characters. While, as you also might know, Travis
and I have gone down the AI rabbit hole and
we've started another podcast called The Bad AI Show. If
(01:09):
you go to Bad, I show. You can catch up
and see the episodes that are there. There's just so
many amazing, interesting things happening in the AI space right
now and being technologists, we love to play with all
of the toys just the same. So fast forward to
one of the tools that we found that uses AI
(01:31):
has the ability to use prompts to create some amazing
new variations on images. So we started putting blockchain heroes,
classic characters into this tool and absolutely loved what we
came up with. Now we are big fans of surprising
and delighting our fans and our customers, and so we
(01:55):
wanted to see if we could put together something that
would offer that surprise and delight to existing blockchain heroes
holders or those that want to onboard into the collection
right now. In fact, now's a really good time because
the prices of everything in the NFT world are down
so much. Those of you watching the video version, I'm
going to go ahead and pull up the screen here
(02:16):
on Atomic Hub. If you go to our special page,
which is Heroes Dot Atomic Hub, you can go to
the Hero Tools section and you'll see all the information
about the various series that we have released. And there
have been four series to date. At the bottom, you'll
find this collections tab, and this is where you can
(02:37):
go through all of the series and see the various
heroes and all of the variations of those heroes that
are collectible. How many are in supply, how rare they are,
and so forth. We have decided to put together a
unique collection that is going to be no cost for
(02:57):
blockchain heroes holders that offers them a set of new
AI generated and inspired variations on 37 heroes and villains.
It's called the Energize Pack. And I'm going to play
this video for you right now so you can get
a look at it. If you're listening to the audio,
then just listen to the cool jams for about 60 seconds.
(03:19):
Here you go. It's going to be real easy to do.
(04:17):
So for those of you that are holding Series one,
series two or Series three commons, what you'll do is
you'll be going to the website that we have designated.
I'm going to link you to an article for this
show as well so that you can read all about
it on our medium blog post. But if you own
common nfts from series one, the Heroes or Titan Packs
(04:41):
Series two here or Titan Packs or Series three Retro
Rebellion hero in Titan Packs, you'll be able to get
up to 37 different heroes. You'll see on the blog
that we have them all listed as different numbers and
quantities based on their rarity. So for example, Knight Errant
kick flick Flip, Omega and Robin Hood, those are commons.
(05:04):
There's 160 of each of those in the set of
2000 warring lizard, sooth and saber, and some others are rare.
There's only 40 of those. There's 20 of each epic,
ten of each legendary, five of each mythic. And then
only one out of 2000 hero cards is the one
of one Genesis card, which is going to be highly desirable.
(05:27):
And what you're going to do is you're going to
go to our site on NFT Blocks and you're going
to choose from series one, series two or series three,
and you're going to select 20 from one of those
series to burn. When you burn them, you're going to
end up getting one of these blockchain heroes energized one
NFT pack, and that's going to contain one of these heroes,
(05:50):
one of the 37 heroes in the different rarities, you see.
So we're bringing utility to existing collections and we're not
charging people anything to participate in this. We're simply saying, Hey,
we honor and respect you as part of our community
and family and you can use some of your extra
supply of nfts to create something new right now. So
(06:14):
it's a fun new activity. Anybody can participate. If you're
not a current blockchain heroes collector, then go over to
Heroes Dot Atomic Hub, Dot IO and pick up some commons.
In fact, if we go over there right now and
look at the price of some of these in wax,
I'll bet you you can get some really good deals.
You just click on the market up here and then
you go to Official Hero and let's just click on
(06:37):
series one, for example. We'll go ahead and sort these
by the lowest price. So you can see right here,
Commons are going for as little as $0.05 right now.
So all you need are 20 of these to get
one of those packs. So that's about a buck to
get a pack. If you bought 20 of these at
(06:58):
a nickel each to burn, then that would be about $1.
If we go to series two and look at the commons,
you could see some of these are even cheaper. By
the way, these get you the same packs $0.03 for
the commons. Of course, this is going to make your
commons more scarce. So we're lowering supply dramatically of what's
(07:18):
out there and giving people something new, new surprise and delight.
So if you'll check out the show notes for this episode,
it will take you to this medium blog where you
can read all about the the activity and get details
on how to prepare. It begins on Tuesday, April 4th
(07:40):
at 12 noon Eastern Time, and it will continue until
all 2000 packs have been claimed. So that's 2000 times
that people in the community will need to burn 20 commons.
Now you cannot mix different series. We just don't have
the technology that makes it easy to do that. But
(08:00):
on Nifty Blocks, the tool that we're using, you pick
either series one, Series two or series three, take your
20 nfts, put them in the burner or the blender,
as they like to call it, and out will pop
your new pack, which you can open up immediately. Now,
if you have some additional questions about this, the link
to the discord is at the bottom of this article
right here. And you can jump over to our discord, discord.
(08:24):
Go forward, slash nifty. There'll be more details there. The
community there will be very helpful to answer your questions.
And I'm going to create a short link to this
medium article as well. For those of you listening, just
go to Nifty dot show forward slash, energize, nifty dot
show forward slash energize will take you right to the
(08:45):
article with all of the details. We've got some great
interviews coming for you in future episodes of the nifty show.
Of course, Travis, myself and Riles will all be going
along with Minty cell to New York City for NFT NYC.
We're all speaking. I'm going to be talking about our
particular topics. Travis and I will be discussing the past,
(09:09):
present and future of Nfts Minty Cell will be moderating
a panel on women in. And Riles is going to
be talking about what true ownership and playing own gaming
in the Web3 world looks like. So if you're going
to New York, let us know. Send us an email
to the nifty show at gmail.com and come see us
(09:30):
give our talks there. We look forward to hearing from
you guys. Also looking forward to seeing you participate in
this energized activity. We think it's going to be a
great deal of fun. We'll catch you on the next episode.
Until then, keep it nifty.
S3 (09:45):
Looking into the future, what do we see? It's lined
with digital collectibles. We call them NFT games, trading cards,
digital art. And those CryptoKitties.
