Has anyone noticed that the mother of Kabosu ($Doge) has a new Inu called Yuzu? kabosumama.org/archives/5609… Kabuso's Mama says Yuzu reminds her of Kabosu ($Doge) when she was little. Also, Kabosu and Yuzu are both Japanese citrus fruits. 🍊🍋 Surely this is about to spawn a $YUZU Inu runner? 🐕

in early 2017, BitBean was one of the first coins to use a unique Proof-of-Stake algorithm. There was also a discussion labelling it "the new dogecoin" I've created a website: bitbean.fun and found a youtube video as well: youtube.com/watch?v=_SeqO0Xy… $BITBEAN

In 2016, a subreddit decided memes were securities. 📈 reddit.com/r/MemeEconomy/com… They called the exchange #NASDANQ. Ten years later, it's real, and it settles on #Solana. 📈 DwCY5b64d1qT64gNrtakJJ3WG9t9PuAnGzcU61MQpump Meme economy and launchpad thread 🧵 $NDNQ

I've been reconstructing the archive around DOOM RPG too. Levels, map geometry, screenshots, game data, script material, weapons, enemies, personnel, press and surviving development history, all being catalogued alongside the game. doomrpg.games/levels

DOOM RPG started life on BREW/J2ME phones with tiny screens, numeric keypads and extremely limited hardware. Twenty-one years later, it can live in a browser, preserve its history and support a completely new competitive layer on Solana. The phone died. The game didn’t. doomrpg.games

One of the best parts of revisiting this has been putting the software back next to the physical history. Old advertisements. Handset screenshots. Office photographs. Press coverage. Digital projects disappear surprisingly quickly when the hardware and infrastructure around them disappear.

There’s a big difference between porting something and preserving it. A port asks how software should work on modern hardware. Preservation asks what assumptions the original software made, and how much of that environment needs to be recreated for it to behave correctly. doomrpg.games/play

Haven’t been on here for a while. I’ve been heads-down working on something new. It’s crypto-native, technically ambitious, and still a little too early to talk about properly. Funny enough, building again has had me thinking a lot about where some of this started for me.

The interesting part of crypto isn’t simply putting a token on top of software. It’s programmable ownership, persistent state, verifiable rules, open economic rails and systems where users can actually participate in the value they help create. That’s much more interesting.

Anyway, I’m building again. Not ready to say much more yet. But I’m enjoying this one.
