This Months #stashpass NFT raffle winners, some tips on generating some WEED & other NFT giveaways, as I include them in every post. Ill also explore Bang Defense a new HIVE play to earn built on the Unity Game engine. Then go over some Hashkings news, then we give the obligated over view of both Rising Star & Splinterlands, all 3 of which feature prizes for this months winners.
Inexplicably mixing pot & publishing, towards the end of this write up my focus veers wildly of course into the realm of quantum mechanics, sorry, not sorry. 🤔
Stash pass NFT ownership records
Standard Pass NFT entitles users for participation in #stashpass raffles until 5/21/2023. Requiring ownership of all 3 selected #stashpass NFTs that month to win with the Standard pass, but you receive the grand prize if you do win.

We have 3 Grand prize winners this month, in addition all own a VIP pass & standard pass meaning they each receive 6 Prizes each from Rising Star, Hashkings, & Splinterlands / Splintertalk collections.
3rd place VIP winners with a single of the 3 NFTs needed receives a Rising Star NFT.
VIP pass & 2 out of 3 gets you a Rising Star NFT + a Hashkings NFT.
Bang Defense
A title added to the quickly expanding P2E game library Bang Defense is running in Beta phase currently.
A tower defense style shooter Bang Defense has come together quite quickly for what it offers for gameplay.
Using NFT guns you destroy invading enemies before they can destroy the tower your tasked with defending.
Your score on the daily leader board determines your Daily payout from the BUDS rewards pool.
That's right I said BUDS as in Hashkings crypto being payed out in a rewards pool connected to a leader board of a separate P2E HIVE title Bang Defense.
The Hashkings @hashkings Staff is assisting Choof Bang Defense Creator with this HIVE P2E games tokenomics.
Say what you will the team behind Hashkings is truly talented, while the games profit potential leaves something to be desired, the skillset of the Hashkings team isn't to be underestimated.
Very rarely do you have P2E titles work together like this & on HIVE in particular there truly are no where near the number of other Blockchain game developers on WAX or ETH even BSC has more project integration specialists compared to HIVE.
Because of this lack of HIVE blockchain integration specialists, approaching HIVE as a would be game dev is a tall order.
For this reason Bang Defenses Brisk launch is all the more impressive, it will cost some $ for an NFT gun which you can find in game or here on a secondary market.
You can find this HIVE P2E here
https://bangdefense.net/home/index.html
Unfortunately no Bang Defense NFT for a prize on this months raffle there is always the next raffle, perhaps I will include some Bang Defense Prizes then.
Hash Kings
Hashkings always seems to pleasantly surprise me Like the new Farming Wars
Set to have a Sale on 8/28/2022 Hashkings will be introducing new assets & a new game type.
Farming Wars official post
@hashkings/farming-wars-new-hk-expansion
Sale announcement
@hashkings/farming-wars-sale-announcement-28082022--surprise
The games radically different when compared to Hashkings at launch & their interoperation with new HIVE titles will assuredly pay off in the long run.
Hashkings gets it together we stand, divided we fall this goes for all Developers & content creators on HIVE.
Psyched about Hashkings Farming Wars, their teams involvement with aiding Bang Defenses Tokenomics. Introduction of BUDSX, EXP, FT are already beginning to reignite interest in this P2E bringing the earn part in to full focus.
Still so happy they used my design for BUDSX 👆, I will never shut up about that.
Hashkings has a curation service upvoting quality Hashkings Tagged content, both Providing liquidity to the Hashkings curation or producing quality Hashkings write ups to spread the word about this amazing team & P2E.
The curation can be a benefit to you as well as help Hashkings get exposure.
If you haven't supported the Hashkings Decentralized Hive Fund DHF Proposal please consider doing so.
@hashkings/dhf-proposal-to-high-development-of-the-hk-ecosystem
You never know Stoners can shock you with what we are capable of.
Hashkings isn't the worst horse to bet on in the long run, which is why as often as possible my #stashpass raffle prizes include Hashkings assets my way of helping promote this fantastic HIVE project.
https://www.hashkings.app/
HIVE Kings is another project loosely connected with Hashkings an interesting project by all appearance you can check the HIVE Kings Project out via the link below.

Rising Star
Another HIVE project I strongly support & frequently include Rising Star assets in my #stashpass raffles.
This is mostly due to Rising Star Being free to play meaning any & all recipients can use the asset in question they have won.
Here is a fun fact about Rising Star their common NFTs are in certain cases reaching their production upper limit.
This has lead to a recent price increase on many of their common NFTs, overall aiding the players stats all used NFTs in Rising Star possess benefits from ownership.
Aforementioned benefits typically making the game more profitable on average per mission in the long run.
Their NFT mint numbers in Rising Star are finite but given benefits stack there is incentive for the player not to sell them.
So while Daphne a few months ago would sell for less then 1000 STARBITS, since the production ended market supplies dwindled increasing the average price to 3x the previous price point.
Now if you can please support Rising Stars DHF as well these projects are HIVE community first helping them helps us all in the long run.

Splinterlands Play to Win
I am a member of the Splinterlands guild Canna Curate, a cannabis themed guild I was lucky enough to be allowed to join.
The thing about Splinterlands is every so often you and a guild member find yourself facing off with one another.
You may be inclined to go easy on your compatriot, I believe that is an insult, instead approach this as an opportunity for both parties to learn or grow from the experience.
My fellow guild member @mongshter & I recently did battle here is how that played out.
Myself on the bottom may have taken things a bit far its all in good fun though.
It still amazes me 2 stoners can play a digital TCG & actually profit from the experience.
It means a bit more personally to best a guild mate having seen what they are capable of going in understanding the challenge they pose.
Good game @mongshter
I give away so many Splinterlands NFTs & it would thrill me more then you could possibly know to be bested with tools I have given you.
However a bought with guild mate is almost just as good.
At any rate todays #stashpass raffle prizes include 6 Splinterlands assets 2 sent to each of our 3 grand prize winners this month.
If you want to start playing the game that changed my life Splinterlands, please consider using my referral link below.

Lets talk WEED
While yes ill literally bore an audience to death going over the science, History, & applications of cannabis. In this section I'm not going over Bud But instead Blockchain.
A little History lesson for you first, HIVE Launched on March 20th, 2020 having first existed on & subsequently forked from STEAM.
What you may not know is several blockchain projects joined HIVE in their STEAM exodus.
Splinterlands being the more recognizable name to part from STEAM with HIVE, but WEED & Weedcash did as well.
Since WEED has existed within the HIVE ecosystem since its inception the earnings mechanisms on HIVE for WEED are numerous.
WEED even has its own EOSIO variant meaning you can actually withdraw WEED from your HIVE wallet.
Now I'm not going to continue to confuse you by explaining the whole concept behind the HIVE DPoS Blockchain its relation to EOSIO assets & specifically how they differ if interested try the following link.
https://www.weedcash.org/
WEED has a set cap of 420,000,000 tokens meaning it will never increase from its limited number of tokens. This is unique in & of itself, you can earn WEED on HIVE via posting / interaction but this is just the start of WEED earning Mechanics.
Staking WEED, WEEDM WEED Miner, or WEEDMM WEED Mega Miner are also a fairly basic means of earning WEED regularly.
Now lets get to a method of earning WEED which is a little more nuanced.
Dcity a HIVE P2E game in which players oversee a fictional city typically referred to as a build.
Utilizing a WEED farm correctly within a functional Dcity Build earns the owner a daily WEED income. I have even previously given out WEED farms as #stashpass raffle prizes.
Another game slightly tied to generating WEED profits is Hashkings the Weedcash brother from another mother does allow you to buy or sell their NFTs for WEED on Nefty Mart.
Not even going to lie when I find myself requiring Seed NFTs that I must purchase I love buying them with WEED.
Another obscure WEED earning Mechanism is Hive Commerce Token or COM for short.
Staking COM also generates WEED on a regular basis
BRO owners also enjoy periodic WEED rewards
There are WEED liquidity pools or as we call the HIVE equivalent Diesel pools.
https://beeswap.dcity.io/swap?pools
Canna Curate also does cannabis themed competitions on occasion in-fact winning one of their edible competitions in my early HIVE career helped give me my start.
Its no secrete my #stashpass NFTs are Weedcash NFTs, for those unaware you purchase Weedcash NFTs using WEED.
For this reason a small PSA on how to earn a little more WEED just makes sense.

High thoughts
While high the other day I was thinking about random shit, specifically the nature of what we label as random in regards to computer programing.
An RNG or in certain cases Boolean system options for Smart Contract plugins to NFT packs very wildly in complexity from NFT colection to NFT colection, that is not even addressing the immense differences in NFTs from Blockchain to Blockchain.
So while my mind was awash in Pot Smoke & Profundity, I began reflecting on the concept of what a computer would see as something truly random.
This is when I remembered a Game theorist video from a while back in which they explain both simple & more elaborate forms of RNG systems.
The video goes from the basic SEED MOD p1 p2 RNG systems which have the glaring issue of someone with enough data back tracking the initial SEED their RNG system used.
Given NFT packs usually are recorded on the ledger depending upon the complexity of their RNG system enterprising individuals can potentially exploit this type of rudimentary Pre Determinate NFT pack design.
WAX NFT packs for instance can have this type of issue as most are simplistic Predeterminate design with NFT contents being determined by RNG systems assigned via the Packs Smart Contract. However even simplistic pack designs can even vary wildly from WAX colection to WAX colection.
Splinterlands is actually a good example of getting NFT packs right as the packs are non predeterminate, their contents are not decided at moment of production, but instead the moment of execution IE when you open the pack.
Though much more complex it is a form of sudo randomness for all intensive purposes its more then sufficient in complexity to call it more or less random.
In this game theorist video they discuss something truly random on a quantum level, delving into what's known as a quantum vacuum state or a Zero Point Field.
Quantum computing meaning a device allowing for coding in quadrinary instead of binary which gives a computers base coding of true or false 1 or 0. Quadrinary theoretically when the device quantumly isolated & controlled would allow for coding in 1/0/x X being a undetermined true or false truly random controlling all variables outside the computational framework.
Have to thank the quora user shown in the screenshot above site found via the following link for simplifying how Binary, Turnary, & Quadrinary differ allowing me to stop chasing my tale explaining it.
https://www.quora.com/What-s-the-difference-between-ternary-binary-quadrinary-etc-What-makes-binary-the-most-famous-Is-the-bigger-the-numbers-the-better-a-computer-is
However they do specify towards the end that increased complexity doesn't inherently mean a better computer, agree to disagree their correct for the moment that is...
Why did I just bore the p!ss out of you with the worst Ted Talk no one asked for?
Because I was stoned & thinking about random shit, try to keep up.
Back to the Game theorist video above, they also delve into virtual particle creation & their correlation to the phenomena known as hawking radiation. Specifically the virtual particle interaction slowly dissipating the strength of black hole first purposed by the late great theoretical physicist / cosmologist Stephen Hawking.
TLDR Particles / virtual particles blip in & out of existence usually instantaneously canceling each other out. This Phenomena can be observed in a quantum vacuum state or a Zero Point Field.
Here's where the ANU quantum random number server entered the chat. Utilizing the Quantum Random Module coded in Python the Game theorist host was able to build a rudimentary truly randomized program or as they termed it a quantum coin flipper.
The service offered by the ANU quantum random number server located in Australia is free to the public. The Pythonic quantum random module the game theorist host from the video uses is located on Github & I even found it if your interested in taking a look.
https://github.com/sbalian/quantum-random
My idea is effectively properly implementing something like quantum random module into a NFT packs smart contract would expedite much of the computational effort & result in a truly random system of asset production / distribution in more basic NFT pack designs.
In DPoS models like WAX you want to try & streamline computational requirements when producing assets like NFTs or NFT packs.
Further reaching applications could even theoretically apply it to certain asset distribution mechanisms in P2E games.
Perhaps most importantly we can finally use the terms Quantum, Blockchain, & NFT in the same sentence, causing all crypto haters to have their heads literally explode.
If you want to use any of the design concepts I out lined above above, feel free to do so, if anything comes of it just be sure & give me a shout out.
The odds of that are never as high as I am while thinking about random shit.
WAX NFT Giveaway tutorial
Every time I post on HIVE I do a few NFT giveaways, the first & larger 5 count WAX NFT airdrop URL which goes to the first user to click the link.
The next 5 WAX NFTs are given away to the first 5 users to comment their WAX wallet address, once I see the comment Ill send you a single WAX NFT followed by a reply stating I have done so. This is for the first 5 users only to leave their WAX address in the comments.
WAX NFT Airdrop / Giveaway
First user that clicks the link below claims the WAX NFT airdrop shown below the URL.
https://wax.atomichub.io/trading/link/1403798?key=5K18W55KvuGhvYYDk6LDmG5LgoTMYfdwEsTx5DN1wiS2Gc4ut6L
A few Jay + Silent Bob Funko NFTs, an NFD NFT, a Hotwheels NFT, & Splinterlands NFT on WAX.
Missed the large WAX airdrop no problem first 5 users to comment their WAX wallet address will have a WAX NFT sent to their WAX wallet.
Stash Pass Weedcash NFT giveaway
Every time I post anything on HIVE I do several NFT giveaways, one such giveaway is my #stashpass NFT giveaway.
How you participate in a #stashpass NFT giveaway is be one of the first 5 HIVE users to comment #stashpass on this post & then Re-blog, gets a #stashpass Weedcash NFT sent to their HIVE wallet.
My #stashpass Weedcash NFTs are part of a monthly NFT raffle taking place on the 20th with the #stashpass NFT ownership being used to determine who wins the raffle.
Full Instructions on #stashpass raffles can be found via the URL below
@chubb149/stash-pass-nft-airdrops-tutorial
You can view, buy, or sell Weedcash NFTs like #stashpass here
https://www.weedcash.network/nfts/
So the first 5 HIVE users to comment #stashpass & then re-blog this post gets an exclusive limited #stashpass NFT sent to their HIVE wallet.
Congrats to this months #stashpass raffle winners, any questions concerns be sure & shout them out in the comments.
Big thanks to everyone supporting #stashpass, several more months of fantastic #stashpass Raffles to go, & many more prizes to give out.
Not collecting #stashpass NFTs yet, why you are just missing out on these fantastic raffles. In no way do I actually profit here instead like every project I start on HIVE the prizes given out with #stashpass already far exceed my profits from sales. Given I have sold around 600 #stashpass NFTs in 4-5 months that's saying something.
Prizes thus far totaling a value of somewhere north of $50 however that's an approximation based on purchase price which is itself fluctuating and nebulous.
You can find #stashpass NFTs here
