Thank you so much for all the support. I'm getting an incredible amount of kind words every single day. Wow. Damn hahaha, I wasn't ready for this, but I'm loving every second of it. I love building. I love coming up with unusual ideas and turning them into something real. I get my motivation from amazing people in this space. Shoutout to @WhiteWhaleLabs and the @SatRush team. Huge thanks for this contest. I joined Satrush and started building. First, I built a bot. Then I built RushHub. But that still wasn't enough for me. I wanted to challenge myself with something more complex and unconventional. I started thinking about a new mechanic. Everyone loves Gacha, and Solana has a huge NFT community. So I brought those two worlds together and created @SATOSHIBA_app , the first Gacha Mint project in the world. Or at least, maybe not the first, but I've never seen anything like it before. The entire idea came straight out of my own head. I was incredibly nervous on launch day. I was afraid I'd missed something, but I pushed through the fear, hit the launch button, and opened the website to everyone. You have no idea how fast my heart was beating hahaha. After just 2 days of being live: Packs opened: 5,301 Miners: 124 Played: 2,719,137,700 $SATOSHIBA ≈ $218,300 Paid in prizes: 2,312,708,280 $SATOSHIBA ≈ $185,700 Dug by Shiba holders: 74,864,273 $SATOSHIBA ≈ $6,010 Locked in the Sat Rush treasury: 43,616,737 $SATOSHIBA ≈ $3,500 $RUSH burned: 15.64 $RUSH ≈ $1,250 Last 24h played: 419,401,700 $SATOSHIBA ≈ $33,700 Shibas found: 107 · holders: 38 Left in the machine: 193 · 3 Epics · 5 one-of-ones How insane is that? I've paid out $185,000 in prizes to users. WHAT? Hahahahaha. I still can't process these numbers. I can barely believe this actually worked, but I'm still here, building and improving. And by the way, not a single dollar of that volume came from bots. These are entirely organic numbers, with zero artificial activity. Hand on my heart, I can honestly say I haven't made a single dollar from this project. I'm just an ordinary guy with an ordinary job making $500 a month. What the hell am I supposed to do with $185,000? Hahahahaha. Sorry for the long post, any possible mistakes, or my thoughts being all over the place. I just wanted to share this with you. I'll keep working hard and pushing $RUSH and $SATOSHIBA higher. I'm convinced that if WW or another major team on @solana had launched this project, it could have achieved massive success, revived NFTs, and generated millions of dollars. Gacha Mint is something new. Nobody else is doing this. Right now, it's only happening with Satoshiba. 🐕⛏️
