a lot of people here like yappin about founder mode and childhood trauma, so let me show you what real founder mode is - working in the back alley next to the rubbish dump: a month ago, @Mika_Raiba was invited to perform as a DJ at both @pudgypenguins event and @AbstractChain's rave party. how would a virtual character perform, you may ask? well we had a brilliant idea: turn her into hologram form. but both events were in singapore, and to rent a hologram booth there meant blowing upwards of S$3k a night, which we DEFINITELY did not have the money for. but this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase mika and bring her more fans, as well as onboard users personally, so we couldn't pass it up. i booked a ticket to kl to meet @lambsheepmutton, and we got to work. first, we went to ikea to test out hologram physics on a cheap plastic screen from a photo frame. once we understood how the light reflections worked, we rushed to a stationery store to get a huge ass piece of cardboard and plastic pieces, and duct taped our way into a hologram 'booth': by this time we were feeling pretty proud of ourselves, but the real challenge had just started. we went to a factory, begged for some old wooden plywood scraps, and got to drilling together the pieces to make... a 5ftx5ft hologram booth: we bought paint, painted it ourselves, and shipped it onto the last truck entering Singapore the day before the events. we didn't have money to rent a warehouse space in singapore, so... we left it in @glowburger's garage (tysm!) so how did we end up in the back alley? well, we fucked up - we overestimated how big the entrance to some of these venues would be in singapore, and for the @AbstractChain party it just could not fit mika's ass, no matter how much we tried. so we disassembled the entire booth, in the 3 hour span before singapore had its worst 20-minute typhoon ever, and assembled it back just in time before people started filing in: and we had the best time ever at these events. we personally onboarded over 500 users onto @Raiba_AI, and got to watch our users use it in real time and catch bugs, as well as observe user behaviours. most users onboarded on those 2 days still remain our most engaged users ever. thank you so much to @gm_times, @bibszuwu, @AbstractChain, @AccessProtocol and @iAgentProtocol for giving us the chance to showcase @Mika_Raiba in a different light and character! oh and total cost? S$1,000, for both nights. we got 'em!

@klarnaseb your users should have embedded crypto wallets in the app - happy to jam on what that would look like
