The gaming protocol is designed to support an ecosystem of projects. @bramcohen on how we're approaching it.

BREAKING: X dropped the new ranking algo today. What's dead and what wins for bangers: [ what just died ]: - spam posting (4+ posts/day = author dilution penalty) - reply farming (replies weighted by WHO replies, not how many) - text-only posts (media gets 2x signal weight now) - recycled viral templates (the new content classifier flags them) - generic AI tool roundups (no original POV = low signal) - engagement bait closers ("what do you think?" gets flagged) - motivational fluff without specifics - engagement pods (mutual-follow scores reweighted) [ what just won ]: - original takes from small accounts (out-of-network discovery 3x'd) - threads with clear narrative arcs (model reads full thread context now) - text + media combos (out-performs either alone) - contrarian takes with personal proof (numbers, screenshots, names) - long-form posts (the 4000-char format gets heavier signal weight) - responding to your own replies in the first 30 min (ranking gold) - consistent posting cadence (regularity > volume) [ formats that work right now ]: - tactical playbooks: hook + 5-8 numbered steps + closer - personal proof posts: "$X → $Y in Z weeks" + breakdown - contrarian takes backed by screenshot proof - threads with arc structure: setup → friction → resolution - image carousels (3-7 slides), one bold claim per slide - short videos (under 90s) showing real work, not promo - long-form (4000-char) breakdowns of trending topics [ tone of voice that wins ]: - first-person specific ("I built X / I shipped Y") over abstract observation - concrete numbers and names over vague claims - builder energy over motivational fluff - one strong opinion per post, not three hedged ones - "here's what I shipped" over "here's what's possible" - direct address to the reader ("you") over generic third person [ the play starting today ]: 1. cut your posting to 2 a day max 2. always pair text with image, video, or thread 3. reply to every comment in the first 30 min 4. write in first-person specific, not third-person abstract 5. one bold opinion per post, backed by proof 6. let out-of-network discovery do the heavy lifting screenshot this. algorithm cycles repeat every 6 months

@OrangeGooey 😂

@Bullish0xCrypto Sometimes you just gotta release the Alpha!!!

Since my partner can't STFU 😅 Imagine a IRL event sponsored by good folks at the Gun DEX and a bunch of 🍊's🤷🏽🔫 what a time to be alive....

@FiendStudios We're nearly the same... (I have another 1 PiB unplotted at all waiting for new format though)

1 PiB with an average win rate of a day is going to be a thing of the past very soon. It's time for a triple up. I have about 1.25ish PiB of actual space over here. I'm getting it all ready for the great replot of 2026.

this afternoon i’ll be hosting a space with @FullyCroisened to discuss a project he’s been working on that I believe has serious potential to be a useful and exciting new way to engage with chia offer files, nft artwork, and features that are probably too wild to put on the timeline yet. do you support artists? do you enjoy collecting NFTs? trading offers? aligned incentives? come hear what’s going on today! x.com/i/spaces/1yxbe…

*fixes bug that only shows up on old records* User: hey why did you take away that error message? that's how we knew they were old accounts

Hey @GeraldNeale, you should keep an eye out for the video of the CHIP-0057 discussion when CNI posts it. It was right up your alley. github.com/kdc2000/chips/…

SpaceX has just received FCC approval to acquire ~65 MHz of nationwide spectrum from EchoStar for the company's next-gen direct-to-device @Starlink Mobile service. The FCC says the deal gives SpaceX “exclusive-use, contiguous spectrum nationwide” for direct-to-phone connectivity from orbit. Next-gen Starlink Mobile is going to be incredible, enabling 5G speeds from space in the middle of nowhere.

Makes me want to dig out my drum set and start practicing again… no hope of even being 5% that good but it would be fun to try.
