4'33" (for Adventurers)
note: i wasn’t aware of the existence of The Herald (for Loot) Substack till the halvening of my own draft. What I do below is very similar to their Week 1 post.
In essence, Spencer Noon’s below tweet brews all there is to be said on that which is the Loot Project by a co-founder of Vine, and dev of Blitmap among other projects:
Loot created a new category: Mass Multiplayer Online Metaverse Making MMOMM for short
A non-human Zen master might posit one day that Mass Multi-player Online Metaverse Making was the coordinapion that was needed for our species to meet the requirements of longevity escape velocity.

I am aware that there is proliferation of content on everything Loot Project by any media available nowadays. It is also kind of absurd and ironic to time-stamp such a statement with an adverb such as nowadays.
As of today, Loot Project is only 8 days old, and notable figures within the Crypto-Twitter (CT), and beyond are calling these times as post-LOOT era. Those who do not own an OG Loot Bag, and some with either biases/ lack of knowledge against/ in the base layer of technological accelerator, namely Ethereum keep critiquing the Loot Project by all means possible.
All I can state here as a non-coder-yet-nerd-researcher (with that background in academy, that is, a Comparative Literature MA) is that LOOT has opened the gates towards the Westworld of smart contracts—nay, Dr. Robert Ford is indeed a humanitarian, and Nick Land has no say in this in that he is a stubborn Bitcoiner.
Anyway, I try to point out to some important Twitter threads, and Substack posts. I am aware there are many an insight on the situation, and was also writing another piece on LOOT, I lost the track. If there are any worthwhile resources out there in any media, please do comment below so that I can update the post.
0) Loot Project Links
Website—where you can also reach approved LOOT derivatives (aye, LOOT is a sandbox modulation engine on which you can fork sandboxes of sandboxes) & many an intriguing tools that feedback or modulate your OG Loot Bag(so).
Substack: Herald—Seems they’ve already done what I’ve been trying to do in my drafts in Bear and Roam Research.
Forum: Loot Talk—better than having to excavate the depths of Loot Discord Server for proposals and developments.

2 ) Tweets that Mattereth
I own a single OG LOOT BAG. That would be #2907. &, it all started with me whilst browsing my preferred notifications on Twitter late at night with a Leshner take:
That was the moment I headed for OpenSea and grabbed my bag at 0.08 ETH. I have always liked anything that incorporates tech, textuality and a ludology of its own; and, as someone who is Udemy’ing the Solidity, the below tweet intrigued me even more:
So, I decided to hodl. I am still hodling my bag—It took me countless worst flips and sales regarding each type of asset on-chain; from my own creations to shitcoins to gems a la NFTs. So, henlö diamond hand. Below tweet is also a LOOT 101 thread with which I am closing this post since Substack will 404 on further elongation thereof. Please visit the above-linked forum on the future of Loot, Synth Loot (I prefer it to mLoot) and AGLD.
