My guest today is Ben Heidorn, better known as @cybourgeoisie on Twitter. Ben is a Solidity developer who has been building crypto puzzles and games for several years. He is the CTO at crypto game studio Blockade Games, developers of Neon District, and principal developer on Josie Bellini's CyberBrokers, a massively on-chain SVG NFT collection that has been in the works for over two years. In this episode, Ben and I chat about many of the projects he's worked on over the years, including Torched Hearts, Plasma Bears, Tokens of Infection, F473, The Ledger of Szabo, and more. If you're excited to hear the details on how Ben stored more than 1400 SVG layers in over 2000 contracts on Ethereum L1 for CyberBrokers, make sure to stick around for the last third of this episode. It was a pleasure chatting with Ben about the early days of puzzling and cross-chain experimentation, and his more recent experience building sophisticated onchain NFT projects.

Marguerite deCourcelle, known by her persona Coin Artist, has been in the crypto space since 2014. Marguerite pushes the boundaries at the intersection of art, games, and crypto, carving out a career for herself as an artist and creator.   Although her focus is certainly in crypto gaming, it might not be what you'd expect. Her endeavors have a cypherpunk feel at the protocol level, innovating creative ways for NFTs to interact in our wallets.   Alongside discussions of her work at Blockade Games, we explore emergence, embedding data in the blockchain, and the untapped world of meaningful crypto gaming.   ------

Neon District is a play to earn NFT game where everything in the game is a sellable asset which can help you earn some Ethereum in the process. It's a cyberpunk role-playing game where you configure a set of four characters to go and do these deliveries where you can collect some neon. The play to earn concept gives you the option of just playing the game without having to put any money into the game which could be a more slow process as you build up your characters and team. Of course you do have the option of investing some Ethereum to get a jump start to earn ETH more quickly the choice is really yours. The game is currently in Season One which only has a single player campaign mode, but Season Two apparently will offer the chance to do co-op and play with friends. I would say the game is pretty cool so far plus with everything being an NFT you have some options of how you earn money within the game as items can be sold on the marketplace.

In this audio interview, CoinDesk’s Leigh Cuen and Blockade Games co-founder Marguerite deCourcelle talk about bitcoin’s impact on artistic careers. From collecting unique, interactive pieces to designing video games, Cuen and deCourcelle explore how crypto could redefine modern art.Bitcoin is money but blockchain technology can also be used in a wide variety of art projects. Perhaps the best known variety of blockchain-based visual art is non-fungible tokens (NFTs). For example, Blockade Games co-founder Marguerite deCourcelle said her startup sold $160,000 worth of crypto assets, like NFTs, with most of the profits from two editions of their first game Neon District. “Blockade has minted over 850,000 assets to blockchain game players,” eCourcelle said.She initially broke onto the scene with paintings that included clues to hidden bitcoin prizes, then started creating interactive, digital art coupled with written roleplaying folklore as well. “Instead of the idea of running through the digital treasure hunt and possibly getting bitcoin at the end, the design is now that you start at the beginning, there’s no barriers to you can just start playing,” she said, describing her video games. “Earning tokens in the background and you’re notified once you’ve created something that’s unique.” In short, the artist can now co-create with the audience in a way that scales individual experiences. Although DeCourcelle still paints, she’s become fascinated with the creative and artistic potential of blockchain technology.Since the first wave of so-called decentralized applications (dapps) in 2017, non-fungible tokens (NFTS) have earned gamers more than $20 million through trading and startups roughly $13.6 million for selling the digital assets, according to blockchain analytics firm Flipside Crypto. Most of that traction was in 2017, when the collectibles game CryptoKitties was the season’s hottest trend and briefly surged to more than 14,000 users. Yet Flipside Crypto CEO David Balter said observers should not dismiss blockchains like Celo and the CryptoKitties creators’ upcoming Flow. Other gaming dapps like Gods Unchained and My Crypto Heroes garnered $4.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, selling digital assets. “There are a number of chains that are working to establish dapps that are participants on the chain. Celo, for example, is doing a good job,” Balter said, listing the above-mentioned gaming projects as well. “We’re talking about customer acquisition costs and lifetime value...these are real businesses.”Flipside Crypto data scientist Angela Minster added most of these games so far see a surge during the first year then struggle to retain users. In 2020, she expects to see improvement in that department. In addition to niche gaming fans, investors’ interest in NFTs hasn’t wavered yet. The “Bitcoin Billionaire '' twins, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss of the Gemini crypto, are also bullish on NFTs. They acquired the NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway in 2019, which opened for business in March 2020 with digital pieces from artists like doodle-master Jon Burgerman and painter Kenny Scharf. A Nifty Gateway spokesperson said the platform has partnered with 16 brands and artists so far, with one Nifty selling for $1,500.“Kenny Scharf sold out his collection around two and a half minutes,” the spokeswoman added. Very earlyBarely anybody uses crypto games these days and even Ethereum fans love to diss them, but some aficionados say a few startups show potential. It’s a long shot, to be sure. Critics may argue these efforts are merely a small group of people trading software trinkets between friends. If so, that is also still true of the broader industry. Balter estimated that by May 2020 roughly 2.13% of bitcoin wallets held 95% of bitcoin in circulation. This is still an industry with thousands of people holding most of the assets, betting broader demand from millions will drive value. “This is actually the lowest concentration of [bitcoin] wealth since March 2016,” Balter said, as a crypto optimist himself. “Developer behavior rating is superb, over the past year the [diversity and contributions] rating has been trending up.” According to a survey of 15,000 crypto fans by the startup Crypto.com, 73% of users believe cryptocurrency needs to be used as a currency to qualify for “mass adoption,” which 92% of respondents said could happen in the next 5 years. To some, this may seem as optimistic as betting on artistic crypto collectibles. Companies like Nifty Gateway are exploring how users might display them IRL, while video game creators like deCourcelle focus on interactive features. “We try to keep a heavy focus on art and [the] story,” she said, speaking to how her characters can involve many interchangeable, tokenized parts. “When you compose them all into this one character, it’s a pretty unique item you’ve created, both in its story and legacy and also in terms of what it can do in the game application itself.” She said she’s excited to explore what it means for a bitcoiner to develop her career as an artist, using software as a medium. If bitcoin is significant, and we accept its slow growing usage after a decade, then perhaps the fact the CryptoKitties trend of 2017 now has less than 100 daily users isn’t enough to dismiss all NFT experiments. Flipside Crypto’s analytics showed the top CryptoKitties user earned $698,887 and the median user earnings hovered around $53. Earning pocket money through relatively short gameplay, compared to Minecraft or Animal Crossing, may be an attractive factor for some avid gamers. Balter said it’s “still very early.” If a niche app needs around 500,000 daily users to be successful, then there’s still a long way to go before anyone can claim crypto games are a significant niche within the gaming sector. “You will see glimmers of better models and outcomes in 2020,” Balter said. “The more that the user is able to monetize, the more the company will succeed.”

S3 Ep 43: We are Women, period. Is dedicated to bringing awareness and the empowerment of women through their bodies. I invited lifestyle influencer, Jymmy owner and creator of Virgin Grooves and lifestyle brand Free Rein as well as Jarrell, husband, father and Creator/Owner of Nomarama and local community activist, to discuss "National Period Day" on October 19, 2019 in the Neon District of Norfolk, VA. At 3:48, Jymmy explains what is Free Rein and the purpose of her lifestyle brand and using her brand to express her sexuality and the identity that is created through the transparency of women in to today's society. We discuss the stigma of women's period and the taboo centered around women getting their period at 8:20. Jarrell joins the conversation via phone at 16:36 and we get into his involvement of National Period Day and the stigma that he feels women receive from a male perspective. Jarrell states, that he feels that it's his duty to make sure that he use his platform to bring equality and education in how people view and see things. We discuss the main purpose of period day which is to end the period tax on tampons and feminine hygiene products that's deemed a "luxury" whereas, Viagra treated for erectile dysfunction and rogaine, for men going bald, is not taxed in some states at 25:25. Listen to Jymmy and Jarrell both share their involvement in National Period Day and how to get involved with other causes such as Jymmy's Night of the Live and Dead 3rd annual Halloween party hosted by myself from 10pm-2am at O'conner's Brewery and a Blood Drive on Sunday, November 4, 2019 hosted by Virgin Grooves and the 5th annual Slider competition January 2020.

Long overdue and highly anticipated, I sat down with the CEO of Blockade Games, Marguerite deCourcell (AKA @Coin_artist) to talk about Blockade Games highly anticipated RPG, Neon District. Marguerite is one of -- if not the -- most well known artists in the crypto space. Her art is highly acclaimed, and she rose to the level of stardom shortly after having one of her art pieces (which doubled as a puzzle) finally solved at the height of the ICO mania in 2017 (It took 3 years for someone to crack the puzzle): https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/kzpqzz/heres-the-solution-to-the-3-year-old-dollar50000-bitcoin-puzzle This episode is jam packed with really interesting topics: the relation between crypto and gaming; discussion about art and game design; how earning cryptocurrency through game play will change gaming; and the importance of owning your digital assets and the impact on game developers. Towards the end of the episode, I talk with Marguerite in more detail about Neon District. We talk about the story line, game play, and the difficulties and joys of creating a game that belongs to the players (and creates new opportunities for artist as well). We also get a little cosmic towards the end of the episode, talking about runaway blockchains, the future of AI and art, and the potential dangers and risks with blockchain technology. I could not have been more honored to interview an individual. Marguerite, as you will learn for yourself from listening to the episode, is knowledgable in a breath of topics. She is humble. she is pushing the boundaries of creativity. Her experience and foresight speak for themselves. Anyone who has an interest in digital art, digital collectibles, or cryptocurrency in general will enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!

Feb. 2, 2018, Can Blockchain Technology Solve Copyright Attribution Challenges of Digital Work? by Dr. Hadar Mazor, on IPWatchdog.com Practical blockchain purposes to solve copyright attribution problems: Efforts are being invested in leveraging blockchain technology to resolve challenges associated with copyright attribution to provide acknowledgment of copyright of a digital work of art to its holder or author. Problem: A digital work of art primarily exists in the form of intangible artifact and the digital work of art may not fit the form of the high-stakes international art market, which continues to rely on unique, original, tangible objects. Since a digital work of art does not yield artifacts that can be easily owned and traded in a conventional sense, their value may not be appropriately estimated. Copyright and other intellectual property tools are frequently employed to countervail this problem but with little success. Difficulty with this model: "Nonetheless, decentralized blockchain data storing technology relies on the trust of the group." She looks at a product called "NKOR" which "aims at utilizing a decentralized, cryptographically secure database blockchain-based technology, to document the recordation, reproduction, distribution and trade of digital works of art." http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/02/02/blockchain-technology-solve-copyright-attribution-digital-work/id=93161/ http://nkor.io 4.
