BEHOLD MATIES!

Pixel Pirate #111

@PixelPirates

Today, I'm proud to announce that @nader will be your guide through phase 2 of our journey. I hope you'll give him a warm welcome, and that you'll have as much fun with him as I had with you all.

PS: Big announcement coming this week. This one was just a warm-up. Hope you're ready!

Today, for the first time, you can buy CLOUT with ETH and MetaMask on any BitClout node!

Until now, it's been hard for members of the ETH community to embrace BitClout because we didn't support their native currency.

This change opens BitClout up to 5M+ MetaMask users, opens it up to the #1 most active NFT community, and opens it up to ~$400 billion in ETH market cap that can now be a part of the ecosystem with just a few clicks.

If you know anyone in the ETH community be sure to let them know, and let's give them all a warm welcome!

So proud to be an investor in $cloutpunk. Even though I didn’t buy this particular punk, the sale distributed $1.5k to coin-holders as a royalty, something unique to the BitClout ecosystem. Can’t wait until it’s $1.5M :)

This is really a big story!!

Yesterday a @cloutpunk sold for a staggering 200 $clout (approx $15,000).

The Punk was sold by @murkury to @cerdoagil, who then pumped a significant amount of money back into the ecosystem.

If anybody questions whether the Bitclout NFT ecosystem is a success or not, this should be the answer.

@Krassenstein

Top daily gainers is broken because of the NFT transfers change. We are investigating with @bitcloutpulse !

Congrats on the success @MonicaRizzolli!

@JimmyWales, I've always admired your work, and your achievements with the Wikimedia Foundation serve as an inspiration for everything we're doing here on BitClout.

If you do an NFT on BitClout, I'll certainly bid on it but no pressure of course! :)

Tell me true, should I do an NFT?

@JimmyWales

Man, @polygram is really incredible. Such a simple and clean UI to browse NFT artists and their work. It's crazy how fast the dev community is shipping and growing, and we're not even six months in!

Just invested $25,000 into $polygram. Can't wait to see where it goes from here, especially with all the announcements we have planned in the coming weeks :)

Gringotts ran out of money from all the people buying $CLOUT today! If you were trying to execute a buy and failed, please try again now.

Very sorry about that!

The last thing I'd add is don't worry about the lull right now.

I’m not aware of a single crypto project that didn’t have a period like this, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ethereum in particular was aggressively labeled as a scam when it launched. All of this is natural, and I think we’ll come out of this dip stronger than ever, with a base that better understands the full potential of what we’re doing.

This is it: The moment when the paper hands fold, and the true believers buy the dip.

Btw guys the redesign looks pretty awesome...

9) And how could I forget... referral program is ready to go basically. We're just thinking about when the best time to release it into the wild is. E.g. may be better to wait for (0) and (1) to go through before we drop it.

For now, our top priorities are:

0) A big launch should drop in September but can't share details on it yet.

1) The redesign of the reference client should also hit in September.

2) NFT transfer/accept/burn should hit in the next week-ish, but only on-chain to support third-party apps, not on bitclout.com.

3) Derived keys hopefully in the next week-ish.

4) Adding the ability to buy with ETH to the reference client in September. This one is big.

Sorry I've been quiet. We've been hard at work, with some travel mixed in.

I'm seeing some people requesting a clearer roadmap. The difficulty with this is that dates can slip, and we need to be careful about what we make public in order to ensure reporters don't feel like we "scooped" them. This happened, for example, with NFTs because we were too public about them before-hand.

That said, I'll do my best to give some more concrete timings 👇
