Lootex (LOOT)

"loot syndrome"

loot was a free nft mint that went to 20e + a 70k token airdrop in a week. this was my experience:

on august 28th, 2021, dom hofmann (known for founding vine) tweeted about a new project - loot. most nft veterans missed the mint because the name dom was associated with a notorious egg grifter in the punks discord.

one of my discords pinged and we started minting. writing random ids into the etherscan contract and getting black squares with text on them. i minted ~10 before it got tedious and collisions started happening. a friend hit the contract to get all the unminted ids, and we minted ~200. then everyone was satisfied. i asked if i could pass the unminted txt file to another discord that was struggling with collisions - this was okayed, and the other group minted another 200-300

we are still early but look again at @Timshel explanation of the loot verse. maybe you get it now what he tried to explain. i’m sure 99% of people still don’t get it, because the frontends are not yet fully polished and dopamine ingesting. but it all comes together like a gazzilion giant jigsaw.

the core game engine of the loot verse is the most engaging, rewarding and sticky onchain loop i’ve seen: verifiable r
