I'm so excited to launch Megapot V2 While I'm proud of all the improvements, I wanted to answer the # 1 question I get asked: "why are you building a gambling app when you can literally build anything else?" 🧵 https://warpcast.com/megapot/0x00f56db5

I love programmatically offering incentives for actions Like Amps, Noice, Tipn, and just saw Reply by @frontend that leverage smart contracts + open social + wallets. That's it, just an appreciation for this type of experimentation

We’re working hard to increase conversion rate and bend the retention curve We know the whole world has an alternative to us so we have to earn it One change at a time, we’re slowly becoming 10x better

this is the reality though: gambling is a vice. many VCs/people with strong reputations don't want to be associated with a vice, no matter how adjacent it is. trust me, i've heard so many of these comments and i'm grateful for their support in private. i'm thankful for the rare few who are willing to back us publicly (will share more in due time). know why you're building what you're building, build it the right way so you can sleep with a good conscience, and in the end, it doesn't matter who supports you publicly anyways, it's the day in and out grinding it out as a builder i, for one, love betrmint, and am cheering y'all on!

Excited to share that we'll likely launch more chances to win next week. Soon, 31 tickets every day will win small USDC prizes up to $25. This will work automatically in all the apps you use, and we'll also provide APIs for apps to be able to notify you of these smaller wins. Appreciate everyones' patience!

We fixed our dashboard’s ticket volume stats: https://stats.megapot.io/ Ticket volume doubled due to fixing an issue with our query; you can verify the query here: https://dune.com/megapot/all-time-stats Note: Only this aggregate historical statistic had an issue. All other stats on the page are unaffected.

My decade playing the strategy board game Go optimized my brain for depth-first searches with large context windows I used to play multiple blindfolded games simultaneously. Now I iterate through turn-based jackpot systems Interesting how my past plays such a role now

Play long-term games with long-term people Especially in crypto. You'll be surprised at how much others will cheer for you when you show up consistently over time, and your actions reflect that your timeline is longer-term than others
