4/ $JACKPOT

JACKPOT seemed like one of the biggest launched projects, given how many influential people posted about it.

A simple concept: lottery-style game where the pot grows and one winner takes all.

What actually happened with it:

- Got surprising buzz on X when alirezakh shared the demo — even Jesse followed and commented it. (You can still see it at @jackpotgame_; I’ll leave the quality judgment to the readers).

- Built by a freelancer, likely by dakshk.eth (based on GitHub activity and txs)

- First contract deployed Jan 30, game went live Feb 12

- Feb 17: had the 1st and the last winner — shortly after at the same day the contract was hacked and all the duns (~$150) were sent to 3 addresses, linked to the same actor

- Feb 24: 2nd contract deployed — but no successful claims from any players since.

- Neither contract was verified

- Multiple TG users reported they “won” but couldn’t claim anything.

It wasn’t just another failed project - it was the most hyped one in this list.

He did that with literally every project though.

yeah he did it a lot

and at the time I assumed he was doing at least a little due diligence and checking to see if the project was worth supporting 

that was obviously not the case

On a lot of them sure but this guy was the community mod in the Native chat, well known and was vouched by a lot of people

ok but we know proxy ran alts and had a history of using those alts to run schemes no?

and uh...

Yeah I guess that’s possible, though it seems way too labor intensive to moonlight as a mod and spin up 10 vapor ware side scams.

hey I mean the man had his faults but he WAS a workhorse

haha - the one way that it makes sense isn't that these fly by night projects were making him much money directly but that it fed the beast, they were a way to keep Clanker in the news, make it seem like new things were always popping off. i for one thought jackpot looked like a cool project so maybe it worked

true, although there was definitely enough legit traction that I would feel like it wouldn't need that

but again he obviously seemed hyper competitive high achiever type, why not juice things more
