great work. Yeah and there is still so much we can do to make things easier for people to interact with the ecosystem and everything. Who next we have excerpticafetri.no so now people can trade tokens and NFTs we're also pushing some new updates so that the tokens are easier to find on the search box as well as on profiles and we also have a lot of other updates coming that are also going to make it a lot easier and more enjoyable to to use the platform. Beyond that we also have the excerptial friends agreement on November 11 that's going to be for Joey wallet users so if you want to participate just get a mobile or browser Joey wallet and you'll be able to make sure the wallet is activated and you'll be able to try to mint one of the NFTs. There are over a thousand so I think people have a pretty good chance of minting at least one of them. Mr. Skribble I saw you open a Joey wallet right for the browser. Yeah I did I did open a Joey wallet for the browser that's what I'll be using to actually participate in the free minute but yeah I do think the browser wallet was absolutely essential. I know that a lot of people are a little more finicky with using browser wallets but it creates less friction and less friction is what you need to get more people involved with what we're doing here on the XRPL. So I was excited to have it because I started off with the browser wallet. I guess I guess four years ago on Cardano it was like Nami or something or I don't remember what it was but I had I always had one so it's nice because I like to do a lot of my stuff on the PC. I like to type and give it back to my responses there. I feel a lot more comfortable there so I'm excited to use it and yeah you're out to get on that but browser wallets are that's for me but yeah you also have to just be more safe right you gotta be more safe if you're using a browser wallet you gotta do your due diligence and not download everything that you see. For sure and also I saw people from outside the XRPL also they notice the mint and so it's gonna be great also to own board new users who have never really used the the ledger so I'm really excited. So can you do kind of a quick walk through MUNKI of the requirements for this mint and if it is setting up the Joey browser wallet what needs to be done or does it impact anybody that already uses Joey wallet just like even on a mobile if you had to do a new one. Yeah so yeah you can have either a mobile or browser Joey wallet either one is fine and all you have to do is for the wallet to be activated so the first deposit basically that activates your wallet so as long as you have an active Joey wallet you'll be able to participate. That's a good deal that's a super good deal so you'll have a Joey wallet definitely participate. Yeah for both all and new Joey wallet users the only requirement is just having a Joey wallet and that's it. So that's even importing a previous wallet on the Joey to use correct. Correct. Yeah you can also import a wallet. Yeah but for wallet hygiene usually people just create a new wallet you know just to keep things separate. Yeah but yeah actually exo-peel of friends is a really nice collection. I know TPN I worked on it for for for quite a while maybe a few months at least and one of the unique aspects of it is that each NFT is two images so it's the full body shot and the close-up profile picture and you can see it on the on the collection page when you look at the NFTs so I like that that's kind of unique about them as well. You know it's also TPs artwork which is really nice and so it's a thing it's a good deal and in the future we also plan to expand on the on the collection and add new characters but but for this part it's so all capy so all capy bars two thousand of them and then we'll just add new characters in the future. Yeah it is a fantastic collection and also with those if you look at it on cafe like you were saying it's the two images where you have kind of the PFP image available as well and there's not many exo-peel collections that have that I don't even know if they knew it was many people knew it was available but it truly is something different and unique in its own way and there was another collection if I'm correct because it had the same character along with others and I can't think of the name of that collection it was the exo-peel friends where they're sitting around the table. Yeah that's does like an expanded but it's one draw and it's not like a generative collection is more like the different characters that we planned basically for the future mints. Okay okay I really like them I love capy bars they're so freaking cute man and so you said tippy was is the artist behind this I had no idea we had to be honest I had no idea. Yeah actually actually tippy is coming up so sweet man and it elevates it elevates everything for me honestly to know that it just really it just elevates it and it makes me that much more excited for the man I had no idea he was the artist behind it my huge fan of tippy and I really like these pieces they're really really really they have so much charm to them they feel almost whimsy they have like a level of whimsy to them they're very cute so I'm excited for this man. By the way the other the other collection is called high stakes exo-peel friends high stakes and it is generative there's I don't know why Mickey said that it's generative there's lots of different versions so but it's on cafe you can look at it I can't be just lighter straight to our face man King. Do you want to talk different I was thinking the same thing because this got you know it's got different backgrounds the clocks different items on the table yeah he's he's barely paying attention I don't know what's going on yeah this is this is the classic too the high stakes collection is absolutely classic uh that you know the animal sitting around the table but it's totally you it's totally tippy it's totally your own thing um my favorite's got to be the connect for the guy to be honest the connect for is really uh that hits home for me but I really like this I like it man I love your art and I like that you put art inside your art because you have also the frame of the background and that also changes so if you really if you really wanted to be like a very particular collector um you could collect the art in the background uh as well and I think that's really exciting it makes uh it adds another layer of excitement to the whole body work cool thanks man uh I think this this collection was um for people who showed up at RareEvo maybe we made it like a little app or something where you scanned your wallet and got and I ended up seeing I forget exactly what we did yeah that sounds about right yeah so so the high stakes one was for I believe RareEvo like tp said and the extra PL friends started with another campaign with uh dub raider and it was also minted for three years well for the people who participated back then so that's why when you go to the collection page you see like half of it is like already minted but does from an event that happened two years ago basically that was my question thanks for having me up man I really I really wanted to talk to I don't know you know because I have a lot of artists in the space and I know things have been I guess like a little a little bit on the slower end um I don't know if it's okay with you guys but I was really wanted to like I guess talk marketing strategy um in kind of see what I have to offer I mean obviously take my words with the grain of salt and and I don't know everything ever you know I'm I'm I'm always learning and growing in this space as a as an indie artist uh but it's also something I feel like projects could use to you know like um while I'm not when maybe maybe maybe I am getting to that point of where you know I've been in this profession for quite a some time now there's always things to learn but I would really I would really want to talk to to them about I guess what to do in this in this kind of time when things are moving a little bit slower um what do you guys think well for me I'm trying to leverage kind of AI to see what AI can do for me and automate for me and that kind of like allows me to do more things as well as open space for new ideas and um like better uses of my time basically no it's actually that's wicked smart and I feel like a lot of artists could actually benefit from that even projects you know finding out you know like we have AI say AI is kind of like a super intelligence especially in terms of you know like the research that it can do for us very quickly and very rapidly um I feel like everybody should be at least using GROC because GROC is integrated into X so GROC knows everything that's going on with X so um you could ask him questions like you know hey can you give me and he's never gonna give you I don't feel like he's ever gonna give you like a concrete answer where it's like okay I need to just apply this there's always gonna be something you're gonna have to do with that information there's still a heavy heavy uh because GROC AI doesn't understand social intelligence as much as we think it does um it doesn't know um cues it doesn't know a lot of those things so you gotta fill in that gap I feel uh but something that you could help is you know what are some marketing ideas what's working right now on the expert you can actually find you that data and um bring it up to you and I've seen a lot of artists that are doing successful um and I just want to point some of the mountain and how they're doing it you know especially in times when things get a little bit slower um I feel like the the need for collaboration raises um and there's also just some things that you can do for yourself to to bring to bring your name up more you know to get your your stuff into the algorithm because that's what it's about it's just it's a game with the algorithm it's a size of your audience the connections and the attempts that you're making to make connections with that audience and and what you're doing to I guess build yourself a stronger foundation in times of of bear markets and stuff like that uh but uh when when artists that I've seen doing exceptionally well is Fobby if enough if you've heard of Fobby she goes on stone space a lot uh she's really she goes on stake and bake space a lot um but she's been taking upon herself to actually do her own spaces I mean this is an artist that doesn't take uh say uh take no for an answer um she's gonna go she's gonna make it she's making it happen uh so she's doing spaces she gets up and she talks about her work uh quite a bit and I feel like that really helps make a connection so I that's just an artist I'm one of the highlights I see I see the her name popping up on the trending and so I just want to like further dive in and see okay well what is what is this artist doing you know what kind of what can we learn from this artist um another thing that she does is she takes time to actually post real life photos of like her actual life and I feel like that in a world where the algorithm is is in everything is just you know technology uh when you're trying to make connections with your audience uh whether you're a project or a business um I feel like real life shots really bring you down to earth and it's it it takes it it almost like shocks them out of uh their feed because their feeds our feeds are constantly kind of like geared towards giving us the most popular stuff all the time um so sometimes when we come across something very organic like just like a photo of a pencil on a paper or maybe a picture of you actually doing your business or running your business or working uh maybe if you're a big project this would be a photo of your actual merchandise whatever you're doing uh but incorporating that into your flow of daily post can really enhance and bring you up in the algorithm um so that's something you can do because your marketing in this environment should be as fluid as your creativity you should be constantly trying to find new ways to connect with your audience that way you know exactly how to pivot and make the right decision uh when uh when when you come across it and it's not it's much easier said than done it's something that builds with layers you know you have to continuously try and find things that work and as soon as you find something that works you add that to your quiver you add that to your tool belt and you know and you know in you know
