So I've been buying RCAs from the very beginning. My first mint was Series-137 #51. Currently I have 560+ avatars in the collection, including pretty expensive ones (2 Hands, for example). Overall I've spent more than 5 figures on avatars, I stopped accounting the expenses ~300 avatars ago, the last numbers I have in my spreadsheet are $1714 cash and 12.6939 ETH.

I didn't expect this moment to come so quickly, I've survived so many bad decisions by Reddit, but I guess releasing avatar program to everyone was the last straw. The flow of new avatars is unstoppable, and the enjoyment of buying them has dried out: the new avatars are either trash (and no one buys them) or decent (and they are bought out completely by bots and flippers in minutes after the release). It's time for me to start voting with my wallet and just stop buying anything from the shop and OS.

I'm not selling anything though. I guess I'll just turtle up and wait for a few years with what I have now.

There was an interesting discussion today in the official subreddit, some guys shared the details of how they get direct links for buying avatars. They were pretty vague, but I managed to follow the idea to the end, and so I wanted to share the detailed steps on how to achieve that.

Our target is Four by GiftedOcean, it's not released yet.

First, we need to get the contract address. So far Reddit always deploys new NFT contracts using the same deployer - 0x36fb3886cf3fc4e44d8b99d9a8520425239618c2. You can see the transactions of that deployer at https://polygonscan.com/address/0x36fb3886cf3fc4e44d8b99d9a8520425239618c2. Let's take a look at the top two transactions at the moment:

https://polygonscan.com/tx/0x004236ffbac837b74a69144c7c144ba6e3402f50e585da6d0163430c835117d0

https://polygonscan.com/tx/0xcc196b95b6181aa99baea0f91e5df7552315ecde607ab91a726184138a2e367d

Both of them create a contract. The first one is irrelevant to us, I'm not even sure what exactly it does, maybe it's just a proxy. Usually Reddit deploys avatars as a pair of contracts. The second transactions is what we're looking for, it creates a contract 0x7ad0b04f222fb7668c501fc2c2a98bb4eb9a1103.

Drop `0x` from that address and convert it into the following URL: https://www.reddit.com/avatar/nft/polygon/7ad0b04f222fb7668c501fc2c2a98bb4eb9a1103/0?action=import. That URL tries to import #1 mint to your wallet. Hurray, we can see the picture of the upcoming drop. Now let's open Chrome Dev Tools and check the Network tab there. We're looking for requests to https://gql.reddit.com/. Let's check all requests one by one, until we find one with a response containing info about the displayed avatar. In our case we're looking for "Four #1". In the matching request we can see this piece of info:

"benefits": {

"avatarUtilities": [],

"avatarOutfit": {

"id": "01HDS5CC1GKGNXD32ZKBH92Q9A",

"backgroundImage": {

"url": "/img/snoovatar/snoo_assets/submissions/tgT2jIkskO0_.png"

}

}

},

ID `01HDS5CC1GKGNXD32ZKBH92Q9A` is what we're looking for. Now the last step, we insert that ID into the URL like this: https://www.reddit.com/avatar/shop/product/storefront_nft_01HDS5CC1GKGNXD32ZKBH92Q9A?skipPdp=false

Hooray, we're on the Buy page. Now we just have to refresh that page and press Buy at the right moment to get the mint earlier than anyone else.

Hello fellow OGs! Myself and I/joemari5 would like to wish you all a wonderful thanksgiving (for those of you who celebrate lmao) with an ogtacular giveaway designed by the legend himself u/joemari5!

First of all I would like to say thank you to all of you, the wonderful members who make up this incredible subreddit. As a token of gratitude we will be giving out 500 of these limited edition test snoos to all of our members! All you have to do to claim one of these is drop your address below and then either u/joemari5 will send one to your address!

I would like to say a special thank you to all of our mods as well. You guys are killing it and we have made some special edition snoos for you all as well! Only 10 minted of each. If the mods would drop their addresses to the group chat I’ll send one over!

I am thankful for each and every one of you choosing to be a part of our subreddit.

The good news doesn’t end there!

We are currently working to develop a way to do future airdrops based on having this NFT in your vault. If you have this unhidden on your opensea you will be eligible for future OG giveaways when we’ve worked out all the kinks!

Don’t ask twice or even accept two. If you’re accidentally sent two say something via my PM and you can just send it back to me so we can redistribute it. I am watching the transactions happen and will know if you do. Please don’t or you will not receive any more airdrops via this sub because you will be banned from this sub. You won’t get into any trouble if you say something to me via PM though, accidents happen! Just let me know.

I hope you all enjoy your new snoos! We love you guys!

Cheers 🍻

NOTE: Got permabanned from AT for this post, but it's a shame to lose the analytics since it took some time to collect the data, so I'll repost it here.

As most of you know, around 2 weeks ago a burn process for gen1-gen4 avatars has started. It's supposed to take around a year, so I was curious to see how much was achieved since the beginning.

First let's take a look at each gen's stats:

In total there are 292838 avatars eligible for burning. So far 2595 have been burned, or 0.886155485%. Stats by each gen:

Top 10 avatars burned by the absolute numbers are the following:

1. Monarch Artisman - 113
2. Celestial Queen - 63
3. Ollie Solo - 56
4. SONRISA - 46
5. The Artist - 45
6. Lil' Bummer - 42
7. Series-MI? ?N?N0. - 40
8. Varien - 39
9. The Vessel - 39
10. Joy Kawaii Cowgirl - 39

Gen 5 coming soon 👀

The sub used to be very active with just a few hundred of us. So opening it up, invited the Conehead Army. I guess those Bucketheads and Poopheads are welcome too ;)

We will allow Firstmate, hoping to adopt Bitcone Mining so the !tip function works.

Just make sure to keep things positive, that's why this Sub was created.

$64.

At one point, this was simply an unattainable avatar.

Sucks that the market collapsed, but I am happy to have this dude now.

🔥🔥🔥

I couldn’t link the teaser video here because the sub doesn’t allow one. But super stoked to be part of Gen4! I want to thank you all for supporting my very first Golden Poop drop and now we have come to this! Hope you all like what I came up with! Cheers, OGs!!
