[PEPECASH] 🐸 Pepecash / RarePepe 🦄 Spepeculation Topic

[needmoney90]

I asked on another thread and got a meme (I guess fittingly), but how was pepecash originally distributed?

It was initially given to people who held the first three cards, RAREPEPE, SHITCOINCARD, and GOXPEPE. Additionally, smaller (proportionally) amounts were given as dividends to anyone holding HYIPPEPE. Those cards had the best distribution in the early days (most people had some if they were in the community), so they were solid choices as far as how to distribute.

I will say, in those days, PEPECASH was a card like any other. No one really cared, and most people dumped. The rally took the majority of the community by total surprise, I know a lot of early people who regret selling (well, who wouldn't?). If you have any questions, I'm happy to expand on anything. I've been around since day 3 or so, so I'm pretty well versed in the history of the whole thing.

Thanks for your answer. Do you know if the entirety of pepecash given away at that time? Do you know how much the original card holder held for him/herself?

700 million pepecash (approximately) out of 1 billion created were given as dividends to those cards. The remaining 300 million or so were burned to this address: https://counterpartychain.io/address/1BurnPepexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAK33R. To the best of my knowledge, the creator did not keep any pepecash that weren't distributed to him via dividends.

Additionally, more Pepecash is burned ritualistically before events in the community, and half the submission fee (paid in pepecash) is burned as well. So the supply is constantly (slowly) declining.

Wow, I just learned the history of HAIRPEPE (series 1 OG dankness) today and knew I had to feature it to preserve its legacy.  Apparently, someone decided to list a single Hair Pepe for something absurd like 10 billion XCP on the DEX back in December and it created a time paradox stack overflow within the machinery of Counterparty.      
  
.
  
Apparently the error was so severe that it shut down services for a while until it could get patched.  There are 1000 HAIRPEPE in existence so it's not super rare, just uncommon.  Yet we all owe his luscious locks a measure of graditude for helping find and diagnose a serious edge case in the DEX.  

So legendary were the exploits of HAIRPEPE that an entirely new card BADHAIRDAY was commissioned to celebrate the day it single handedly brought down a global super network.

I remember the first time, I saw Hairpepe, my life changed.  It was almost like seeing an old friend from High school.  I instantly bought one.

I remember the first time, I saw Hairpepe, my life changed.  It was almost like seeing an old friend from High school.  I instantly bought one.

The first time I saw HAIRPEPE was within a data dump, as I was trying to figure out how the network crashed. I think my initial reaction was wondering what the hell a "hair pepe" was.

IIRC, the parameters chosen for a HAIRPEPE order hit up on an obscure bug where the calculated integer value chosen for the order quantity was higher than the max integer value for sqllite, but equal to the max int value used in the python validation code (they differed by 1). Thus, the value was not further limited in the sanity check code, and  when the daemon was attempting to store the record in sqllite it caused an exception.... we now handle this situation in a way that should avoid this kind of issue in the future anywhere in the code.

Because of all of this, as well as the excellent artwork, today it is my favorite card. That hair...

This is where Bitcoin finally hits its stride and begins to shine - showing us the next level of abstraction of digital rarity, and you decry it for yet another centralized video game?  If the CryptoKingdom servers shut down, your assets are gone.. If the Pepe team were wiped clean from the Earth and the entire game were erased... you would still have your Pepes and a new game would begin to be built around them.  
  
That's the power of a decentralized asset.  You are trying to get us excited about the video game equivalent of fiat, when something far better already exists.  I do hope CryptoKingdom gets ported to the Aeon version of Counterparty, when it one day exists.  I would definitely be interested then.  
  

Crypto Kingdom needs a decentralized setup, otherwise it wont take off imo. One possibility would be to clone jl777's komodo setup for his instantdex which launches in a short while, which afaik allows for decentralised trading.

The pepe meme is nothing compared to the rich detailed design of Crypto Kingdom as a full virtual world of assets and social networking opportunities, but I agree it needs decentralised asset trading so players can control their own assets. If that is achieved (decentralised trading and private control of keys), then Crypto Kingdom could become one of the largest crypto projects to date.

A decentralized exchange would likely put it under cryptocurrency regulation rather than videogaming regulation--not a plus imo. Also, AFAIK it wouldn't be able to be a browser based game and the resource requirements would be magnitudes more for a game as vast and complex as CK when compared to card/meme games.

You can port casino games, card games, and other subgames of your making to CK and have it interact via API--that currently is the means for decentralized gameplay, but anything beyond that would need to be technically possible (without losing live interactions or GM events or otherwise muddling the mechanics), have no effects on the game's status as a game, and not add downloading to player's tasks. There are counties that can grow within the game until they are ready to become their own game, but other than the MK project, which had very limited interaction with the CK gameworld (exchange of tokenization of MK asset), this has not yet been tested.
As far losing the game, much of the pertinent info is stored on multiple computers via google sheets (pertinent as in high ticket items such as armies and buildings and lands), and the game's db is back-upped on a regular basis. This is by no means as thorough a safety net as what one would hope for in a card game, but is more thorough than most similarly complex games in the MMORPG space.

If anyone can offer a decentralized MMORPG that is played in real-time, keeps its cost inline with profitability and doesn't lose continuity based on the absence of a overall gameworld, I'd 3be happy to play. Though I'd still expect it would lose videogaming regulation status if it acted similarly to a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange.

Valid point about preference for keeping legal status as a game, but I'm not across all the legalities of why decentralised ownership and trading options would jeopardize that. Is it because a central party has to issue the tokens so might be an illegal share issue? I do think the centralised control of game database will be a turn off to some people, but maybe you can mitigate that with other measures that ensure integrity of game asset ownership. Off game exchange of assets would attract players with extreme privacy needs. I know in my case I would want my holdings of game assets to be private before I invested heavily.

Watching Crypto Kingdom developments with great interest!

Lol i didn't know the story of Hairpepe

Now i undestand more some jokes about it on the Telegram chat

Seems new normal is PEPE is not PEPE anyomore but PEPE is Silly Green Frogs

Today's RarePepe of the Day^tm is the indomitable RAREPEPE. 

 

This legend was the very first Rare Pepe ever certified on the Bitcoin blockchain, and as such is truly a one-of-a-kind original.  The creator, mike himself, was smart enough to issue 300 of these babies as well, and as such it has rapidly rose in fame to become one of the most sought after and famous Pepes in existence.  If you want one yourself, the lowest price sell on the DEX is currently a steeeeep 74 XCP though.  Who knows where the original Satoshi is now (or members of Satoshi), but if they are alive and well, one can be sure there is a smile shining down on how Pepes are using the Bitcoin blockchain nearly a decade after its creation to secure truly rare assets.

I'd like to officially announce the new and improved PepeAuctions.com!

We've given the site a huge makeover, redesigning every aspect of the website. Not only did we make cosmetic changes, but we rebuilt the auction system from the ground up giving our users much more control over their auctions and simplifying the process for everyone.

Users are now able to create and manage their own auctions.This means you can use the user portal to view and edit all your pending, live, and scheduled auctions. You can even re-list your auction with ease (this can also be set to automatically perform this task too). This will also allow you to get notifications via email when new bids are placed on your auction, and when it ends. The same improvements have been made to the bidders side. You can easily use the user portal to see any auctions that you're "watching" and also view any auctions that you have an active bid on. You'll also notice new email notifications for when you have been outbid and when you have won an auction.

Overall you should notice improvements across the board. We're still in beta mode as this system is also brand new. We'll continue to improve the site as much as possible moving forward. If you notice anything that you feel isn't working correctly, or if you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to send me a PM or voice you opinion in our PepeAuctions.com chat:

https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAAyd69nFEASEPXKf7g

Thanks to everyone who has already been actively using the site. We hope you like the new update. We also look forward to welcoming new users to our system and giving you another outlet to buy and sell your RARE PEPE.

[americanpegasus]

Whew lads!  It's Monday and that means the floodgates have been opened for new dank rares!  
  
 
  
I'm purty excited because one of these was my own that got approved.  Instead of doing a RAREPEPE of the day, I'm gonna choose my favorite five to seven of the new ones with high-effort art and feature them.  That's coming later.  Series 13 FTW!

[phytosaw22]

Very nice pepes. I think now is a good time to buy!

[GreenMatrix]

Great pepes on the 13th series.
Good job guys.

Featured card of the day is gonna be my KEKSBASILISK.  This is my first RarePepe and is a rare, fair, and non-profit card.  Either this is the first, or there sure aren't many Pepes with as pure of a distribution as this one.  It has very strict rules for distribution that are fair to everyone, with no one having an advantage in acquiring - not even me.  
  


Of the 144 that exist, one will be sold on the DEX randomly approximately every 24 hours.  The first will have a minimum sell price of 616 Pepecash, and that minimum will increase by 616 Pepecash each time one gets sold. At this rate, the final one will be listed in several months time for approximately 88,704 Pepecash.  If there is no bid meeting the minimum sell price, the KEKSBASILISK gets listed for sale.  If the largest bid of the day meets minimums, it gets sold to that bid.  Obviously the best way to acquire one is to bid handsomely overnight and hope no one outbids you... who knows how expensive these things will be in a few months time.  

The first one was sold two nights ago for 1710 Pepecash (meeting the minimum bid of 616 Pepecash).  Last night one sold for 3636 Pepecash (meeting minimum bid of 1232).  Tonight minimum bid is 1848, and let's see who wins it.  

The money is kept securely in the KEK Charity address which hosts the Basilisk.  It will only be spent to inject value into the Pepesphere, for example by sponsoring Pepecash projects.  I will take no personal profits from this address.  In fact, if I (the creator of the card) want to acquire one I am setting a special rule for myself that I must buy one from a different seller other than myself, or may buy one at market if an asking price sits for more than 24 hours.  
  
I think that due to the futurist boogeyman this card is honoring (if you're curious click here, but be warned, you may wish you hadn't), the dank ass Scream-esque + deep dreamed art with lots of Easter eggs (created by user psybin), the fact this card is being sold for philanthropist reasons, plus the unique and fair distribution will all combine to eventually make this one of the most sought after rare pepes of all time.
