Rupert – Amulet, Shin – Amulet, Jimmy – Amulet, Rob – Amulet, Martin/Pinto – Amulet
Rob – Amulet
Okay, there’s Craig (Robot that records our Discord). So yeah, so yeah, it’s looking like a minimum of a 100% increase for the for August (Twitter Followers). Okay, cool. So now we’ve got everyone here, I’m gonna run the AMA slightly differently, just a bit more structured. However, we got a lot of questions. And so rather than as reading through the questions I’ve got also we’ve, we’ve been asked a lot today. So I’ve done it, I’ve set up some in a way that we should be able to cover all the questions that were asked. And then if there’s anything that is left off, then we can obviously open it up for the group chat to see if anyone wants wants to ask anything more specific. But I think the best way to start it as the first two things, or three things is we always get asked about the team. So to cover for the team questions. I think we can all give our introductions again, then I’ll talk a little bit about the new AmuNation app, which should cover a lot of the questions we’ve got about those tasks, contributions, everything that we get asked “wen incentive?”, and then we’ll move on to to the stuff that will probably be shins which are updates with regards to testnet and audit, and then I’ll go into some questions. If that all sounds good with you lot?
Rupert – Amulet
Go for it.
Rob – Amulet
Perfect. So it will start the introductions, I’ll start with myself, and then I’ll go on to you. But seeing as you’re the first person, I can see that I’m Rob, I am doing the marketing, I’m sure many of you are aware, with regards to um, you know, I’ve been in web2 and web3 and marketing now for six, seven years. Web3 in particular, probably for about it will be my fifth year or sixth year coming up to my marketing experiences is varied. But I also have a legal background and a sales background too. So it makes me a bit of a different marketer. And pretty much all the content you see written is written by me, including the tweets. And so yeah, so that’s who I am. Sorry if I sound a bit weird as well. I do have COVID right now. So that’s fun. But yeah, maybe moving on to you Ru,
Rupert – Amulet
Hey everybody. So for those that know me, I’m Rupert. I am the project lead on amulet. I’ve been building startups for almost as long as I can remember basically to in school, and then had stints working with people like Google and Facebook and others. I got into crypto and web three back in 2016 was where I first started buying my initial assets. And I built a company with some of the other folk around called Pink that exited out of in July of last year, that was another FinTech application. So I could then focus fully on defy and my passion around insurance and defy in particular. And that is little bit about me. I’m gonna pass the mic to Jimmy.
Jimmy – Amulet
Cool. Hey, guys, Jimmy here. So trained, actuary I was working for like one of the largest global actuarial consulting firms for the last like about seven years. So any questions on pricing, how much capital we’re holding, and how the product comes together? Those are kind of questions for me got into define crypto probably around like 2017 So a little bit later than than these guys. And you know, just dove headfirst into defy probably late No, no, sorry. Early early last year. And yeah, yeah, that’s that’s me. So I’ll pass it over to Shin
Rob – Amulet
Oh, maybe Martin Are you able to?
Martin/Pinto – Amulet
Yeah. Hello, everyone. I’m Martin, you probably see me as Pintopelado and in all of the channels on our Discord managing the community site in the Amulet team then my key role to make sure you guys are happy you guys have loads of loads of entertainment on our Discord then if you have any issues, I’m the first point of contact then. And regard my my experience. I work in the multiple big companies currently. And I worked at Coca Cola before them Xerox and I joined cryptocurrency or blockchain technology around four years ago and move to Solana the very very beginning, then this is my main chain where I’m focused on. I think that’s it about me. And as I said, you can guys catch me on the Discord or I would say every day, then if you have any issues and ideas and the feedback has just been tagged me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.
Rob – Amulet
Awesome. I think Shin was having some issues muting of being able to unmute yourself. I’ve just changed something does that worked at all Shin? Nope, I don’t think it has. Okay, as if it’s anything from my side, though. So maybe you might need to log out and log in to see do stuff if you read the microphone. Well, while we’re waiting, I will introduce Shin, Shin is in charge of our tech team. He will introduce himself a little bit later if he can. oh Shin’s here
Shin – Amulet
Okay. So Okay, shall we the introduction. So unfortunately, I’m the tech guy, but sometimes he doesn’t work. Anyways, four inch essay introduction. So I start my career in the TradFi World, I worked in the investment bank, consumer banks were asked by private equity, I mean, but mostly I’m focused on the tech stuff. And I’m also involved in the development for like, machine learnings, as well as develop some, and also for some patent around exposure condition. So I’ve joined this a defy space around last year. So yeah, very happy to talk to you guys.
Rob – Amulet
Awesome. Thanks for that. So yeah, so that’s a brief introduction, I think just that someone asked, we are all based in different countries. So we do work remotely. But it’s all going well, so far. So what I’ll do is do I need some you can see I can see here. There we go that. So I’ll introduce a little bit of the ammunition app that was launched about two hours ago, because that will cover a lot of things. So it’s quite an exciting day for our community, then, Martin, I want to add something a little bit later. But this is our way people have been asking a long time about incentives about bounties and rare big, big, big fans of gamifying things and turning things into to make it fun, not just completing your tasks and getting on with it. So we been, we always say we don’t want to reveal too much. But now we can actually reveal it. So what we’ve been doing behind the scenes is working on this app that you’ve seen today that’s been launched, if you haven’t yet, it’s in the announcement channel. And it’s what everyone’s talking about in the general chat. And I guess the best way to describe it is a it makes it turns promotion into promo-fun. I don’t know what rubbish comes into my head is it’s a way of earning me points and basically promoting the product contributing to the, to the protocol, the ways that you can. Everyday your lives learn different, there’ll be different tasks depending and with different value of points. And all of it is part to somebody, it’s because I’m not too well. And all the activity that you do gets calculated with the new bot, and then the people that perform the best and the highest will the people that are the people that perform get the highest level of rewards.
Rupert – Amulet
Don’t worry, you’re not feeling too good
Rob – Amulet
I don’t know what how that I don’t know how that Could you could you take over there sorry?
Rupert – Amulet
You’re no worries, as you will no doubt. Understand when you’re not feeling particularly well. Your brain does do different. Just to slow down anyway. The Amunation app is very simple. You take action take part in the actions that we’ve we’ve put into the app, and that helps us and helps protocol and help see the company grow. The more points you get that further up the leaderboard you get and the higher up on a leaderboard. You get the more prizes and the more thanks that we give back to you. And that the top prize you can get is a new set of NF T’s that we’re releasing. They also the next two tiers. is down. So if you go into the amination app, click through either from the discord or from our main website, you’ll be able to see that. And you can see the tiered prizes. We haven’t released, what those NF T’s look like just yet, or what the prizes work they will contain. And I assure you, you definitely, definitely want to have the top ones. So if you want to work towards that, if you want to contribute to the project, it’s a massive help to us. And all make sure that we’re swimming in the same direction. So you’re, you’re helping us we’re hoping you. And that’s pretty cool. I really like it. we’d love your feedback, though. There are bits that you don’t like in it. There’s there’s things that annoy you. Please do feedback to myself, Pinto, and Rob, and we we can amend those, like Rob said, they’re going to be new prizes, a new actions every single day. And yeah, the more you interact, the more points you get, and the better it is for everybody.
Rob – Amulet
And we have a setup. That was what I was trying to say. That is what I was trying to say. Who’s talking so i can see who to mute? Thank you. I can see that one. Fantastic. Okay, we’ve also baiting onto that we have just set up a new channel, which is under the support zone. That’s not true. That’s my brain. Again, it’s under “using amulet”s called the “amunation app”. And that’s where right now any bugs or anything that you see or any suggestions, that’s the perfect place to leave them. And we’ll be able to, to action or give you the help that you need and the support that you need while you’re earning those daily rewards. Cool. So the next thing we got a lot of questions about and I don’t think I can link this two together, mainly, it’s going to be an update from us generally. People are asking about the latest updates with regards to test net and audit. So I’ll leave that to you. Correct?
Shin – Amulet
Yeah, I guess I mean, I guess everybody will be getting excited, because we are so close to finish our auditing, approaching our tests at launch. So first of all, for auditing, I guess, I mean, from our latest announcement of partnership is Kudelski. So, someone can sneak out that we are almost there. So we have been working with kudelski since early or early June. So they have been doing thorough research has been our tokenomics as well as the race modelling. So they will help us to establish the whole risk model so and they will continuously update in it. And together with our I mean, the new development onto the protocol. Along with that they also have done a thorough code review on over like 10,000 lines off of our smart contracts. So finally, we will be we are expecting our final reports coming this Thursday, and we should be publishing it around the weekend. So that’s about the audit report. So you will see it when you when we’re going to announce in our blogs and Twitter. So there’ll be pub, there’ll be public for for everyone. So yeah, so there’s about the auditing. And I mean, this, this is our first audit. So it doesn’t mean that we will stop there. So we will continue doing the development. And further on top. On top of that, we are going to have our bug bounty programme as well. So yeah, so we will do mean, at our best to keep our protocol safe.
Rob – Amulet
Can I ask something here? Because that’s taken down one of the questions with regards to the bug bounty programme, what’s been asked a couple of times is who will this be for who will be allowed to take part?
Shin – Amulet
So, we have we will be partnering with Immunefi. So, basically, they will have the ethical hackers in I mean, they will have the group of hackers under their name. So, yep. So, there will be I mean, I guess for the details, we will be announcing once we finalise all the details, but it should be I mean available to everyone.
Rob – Amulet
Awesome. And with regards to test net, who, who will is it still planned for this week and who will be who will be able to take part?
Shin – Amulet
So, for test nets, our I mean, so they we are planning to have our test net launch on Tuesday night. There’ll be around the same time next week as we are having this ama so but for the community member on Discord they will be they will announce it to the discord community member like comm One day before the the official launch. So that means you will be Monday night.
Rob – Amulet
Awesome. That sounds great. Cool. Anything. Anything you want to know in that? That’s fine. I’ll move on to the next thing. Well, one question which we weren’t we talked about briefly in the last one. But now we’ve got Jimmy, I don’t know whether you want to give you a little description. A lot of people are asking about our plan with regards to tokenomics. So yeah, I don’t know whether you wanted to give a general overview that I told you.
Jimmy – Amulet
Yeah, yeah, I can do that. So I think everyone’s asking a little bit more about the release of the token. So maybe, maybe that’s the that’s the main question is
Rob – Amulet
That’s my guess too. So yeah.
Jimmy – Amulet
But in short, there’s, there’s a multi token economy that we’re working off of. So there is a sorry, guys, there is a governance token that will be launched. But as you can see, like, similar to like our emanation app, like we want to take our time to build something that’s interesting and engaging. So we’re going to be taking a bit more time thinking through the exact tokenomics before we release. So that’s the governance token. In the meantime, there are several other tokens. So for one, there’s the SOL derivative token, so similar to like Lido, and to Marinade, where they have STSol and MSOL. We’re also going to have AMTSol. I mean, so that’s a liquid derivative of the Sol staking. Yeah, so staking token. The other one that we’re going to have is the AUWT token, which is our underwriting token that allows you to participate in underwriting on our platform. And claims will also be paid out like in that AUWT token. So those tokens will be functional and available, like immediately upon launch. Now for the actual AMT or Amulet token, I think we’re going to try and get as much traction as possible through the actual cover sales first, and the revenues that we’re going to generate first before we think about like how to distribute those tokens because we think that like success is really if we can launch and we can succeed without having a token. But ultimately, we do need one. And we have plans to release it. And I just don’t want to quite share it yet. Because we’re not, we’re not ready and not at that stage yet. But of course, everyone here will be first to know, once we, once we are ready to launch that.
Rob – Amulet
Awesome. Thanks very much for answering that one. Cool. So I’ve got a couple of different questions here. But one of a lot of questions we were asked about which one I can cover if, if I start talking gibberish again, feel free to interrupt me but but we did get a lot of questions with regards to partnerships or more partnerships coming as it has ended with kudelski. Do we put thought into who we partner with? And the answer is that there will be new partnerships as partnerships. We’ve been working less partners we’ve been working with for quite a while. But it’s just not the right time to announce the we will announce everything in the right in the in due course the ones we’ve had, we felt were very important to announce straightaway. And over the coming weeks and months, you’ll just see you’ll see the different partners coming in. And every time the word lists should be that you will understand why the partnership exists. So we have an example as to the kudelski. One that was released last week. That was to do with audits and security. There’ll be there’ll be blog posts usually attached or there’ll be some form of PR or something that we’ve worked together to announce the official partnership. And we’re having those discussions all of us, whoever that’d be marketing partnerships on my end or if it be of a business partnerships on Jimmy and Rupert’s and that the conversations are ongoing. So we will we will announce them and when we’re ready to announce them. And the next thing we got a lot of questions we have But it’s kind of links into. It’s just, it’s more that do we expect our main net launch to still be at the end of September? And who do I want to answer this? A bit, but I’m gonna put that. Okay.
Rupert – Amulet
You should put it up the Shin. That’s the question I asked Shin literally every day.
Rob – Amulet
Which is why we he actually asked me to test whether you’re listening to him in this AMA!
Rupert – Amulet
So, like, I yeah, I’m gonna I’m gonna go first. Everything points to Yes. So from from a marketing and a brand point of view, we’ve got no issue about the launch. We will I want to be very clear about something. We will absolutely hold it up. If we think there is any potential threat or vulnerability or concern that we have. And, you know, it won’t be held up March. It will be Yeah, I suspect. But that’s Yeah, it’s really onto your shoulders.
Shin – Amulet
Right. Yeah. So I guess for the top guys, usually the deadlines, the last question you want to hear. But anyways, yeah, so I mean, from what we have right now, and from the audit reports and everything. Yeah, I mean, everything seems so promising for for us to launch towards the end of September. But again, so I was thinking, since there will be so many I mean, as what Rupert has mentioned, since we have the test net. So we will be receiving feedback gathering feedback from you guys, as well as I mean, the greater public. And also once we are going to launch our bug bounty programme with Immunefi. So we mean, to just touch woods. So if there’s no Blue Moon events, or any like, showstopper, bug identified, or we will be taking to our plan and launch onto Main net towards the end of September as planned.
Rupert – Amulet
That’s good. That’s good for me to know as well Shin!.
Rob – Amulet
Awesome. Now the reason I’m saying that way is because the other questions that I’ve got are all as if we’ve already launched onto the main net. So that’s why i That’s why I went down that route.
Rupert – Amulet
Yeah, we haven’t yet. I just want to add one other key point is, well, is that like, nobody wants to get this launched more than that. So I know, everybody in the community wants to wants to see it. But you know, we’ve been working on this since day one. And and, you know, there are hundreds of 1000s of lines of code now. I mean, literally over 400,000. So, there we are, we absolutely desperate to get this out there. Moreover, we’re a business, right, we can’t operate as a business without our product. And without that product out there, we are not really a business in my eyes. So we need to get this out there. We need to drive revenue and, and sales and products through it. And so yeah, there’s nobody more keen than us to get this. To get this out there and working.
Rob – Amulet
And Rupert what you just said, that was one of the is one of the questions. So I might come straight back at you. Because one of the questions that I really had was, how do we plan on making revenue? And when we make the revenue, will we plan to reinvest it if if it deems successful? And also that’s linked with that question was, what is more important to us massive capitalization or an active community?
Rupert – Amulet
Oh, you’re gonna have to remind me those questions as we go through. But in short, the way that we make revenue is we take a small cap cut as a platform in between. So, we have those who stake on the one side of the platform and those who take out risk and cover policies on the other side of the platform, they pay a premium and the stakers get a return. So in that, from that premium and from that return we take a very small cut in order to run the the platform and pay everybody’s wages. Now will we be reinvesting that back? Yeah, like any business you know, the point of our of of the platform is to reinvest and grow now, as a eventual down we are launching a governance team to operate as a business. This will put the hands back into you into the community this will mean that you have the choices on how we should operate where where we should go what We should be doing. There’s a reason why I’m a Project Lead and not a CEO, is because I am beholden to you guys, the community, as is everybody on this project. So when we get to that stage, which is not in the too far distant future, we’ll be looking at next year, we’ll be handing over the reins of the control of the operation, and you guys went to hell and voice coming face and I’ve got it, you got it found it. Alright. So we’ll we’re handing over the reins of the of the of the protocol over to the community. So yeah, community is hugely important. But what’s more important is dedicated community and those who want to learn and earn through the protocol. If you’re holding the token, and you are governing our platform, the only way that that token increases in value is through good governance. And so that is that’s going to be down to you.
Rob – Amulet
Awesome. That’s the ground, sir. Awesome. So one of the questions, I’ve got to say we say we’ve launched and what am I going to phase this one? Okay, so the question is, really is I think we’ve already got our, we’ve got our users, what do we expect the level of experience our users have within the crypto industry?
Rupert – Amulet
That’s a really good question, actually. So I suppose it’s a little bit it’s not a straightforward answer. And the reason why it’s not so straightforward, is because we are expecting a lot of different levels to come in. So if we look at some of our primary customers, maybe protocols themselves and they want to batch purchase insurance, or cover or risk cover all of their, their users. Now that you would expect protocols to be pretty advanced in the Defi in industry, and they are on the most part, but again, they are very focused on their own products and not necessarily focused on the the the wider industry as a whole. So you’re kind of talking to a horse that’s, that’s got blinkers on that they they know, they know their section of the industry extraordinarily well. But they don’t necessarily know that the rest of the things that are going on, when we look at kind of community and users, my suspicion is that those who are holding governance tokens and really want to manage and, and look after the protocol for the future, they’re gonna be quite advanced that I think, and I think the reason for that, as they’re gonna recognise that we’re not a flash in the pan, when we are a protocol that’s got to be here for the long term. And that they, you know, they have to put the effort in and also in order to gain credibility and and, and really, truly govern the platform. So I think they, they would be to me quite advanced. Now. There is a non Advanced section to this as well. And I think that will probably boil down to the stakers that want to come and staking forget, now there’s there’s various different layers of staking, you’ll see the test net next week, it can get quite complicated. But on a very simple level, you can use steak, and you leave it. And again, I reward back from that steak. You don’t have to do anything further than that there are if you’re a more advanced user, you can go into a lot more detail and pick exactly the example but in the oh Hello Edgar?
Rob – Amulet
I guess that happens when when we get so many people now it’s gonna keep happening. So it’s only a positive thing you keep
Rupert – Amulet
feeling there’s probably a setting we’re not pressing. But it’s great. You know, this is this is probably the biggest AMA that we’ve ever done. So I’m super excited. And thank you, everybody. If you’ve not said that before, for joining today, it is amazing to see how this community is growing. But anyway, sorry, back to the to the answer. I think that you know, the lowest hanging fruit, the easiest thing that people could do is take and forget or just come and take out an insurance policy and you know, kind of never come back unless they made a claim. Those are going to be the more simpler users but I suspect we as a protocol that people don’t interact in this form. or add on the on the protocol itself on the product itself will be more advanced and then those lower or less advanced users will be getting it getting a cover or risk cover policy in some other means.
Martin/Pinto – Amulet
And maybe one more thing Rupert if you don’t mind from from my bit. The near future we will focus as well at least from from my part to make sure that if you guys wants to have a more information, or you want to be more advanced, how we operate how our platform I operate, then we’ll for sure, arrange some session then then we can we can go together and kind of discuss then if you guys wants to be more involved with a more more knowledge about the product, then we can have those those extra session to to give you those information, then you can upskill
Rupert – Amulet
100%
Rob – Amulet
cool I had that covered everything. So what what are you? I’ve got a couple of questions here, one that I think will be good for you to answer Jimmy. With, well, it’s basically do we know what stable coins do you plan on providing depeg cover for? Will they be specifically Solana ones? And how will we actually be tracking at depegging event?
Jimmy – Amulet
In terms of the actual tracking, I’ll leave that to Shin to talk about. But I think initially it’ll be USDT and USDC. That will be providing the stablecoin depeg coverage for and that’s essentially it’s really interesting. So like, everybody, right now thinks that USDT and USDC are like some of the safer like stable coins out there, because they’re being backed by by Fiat dollars. But recently, like what we’ve seen with like USDC, being able to freeze funds, like on chain, like brings up a question of like, hey, what happens if like, one day the US government or any government for that matter, says, you know, we’re going to seize the reserves that you have in our country, mainly for USDC and USDT. That’d be like in the US, right? But what happens if they say, Well, you have a billion dollars on chain, we’re going to seize like $500 million, all of a sudden, then I actually think that the stable coins depeg. So anyways, I wanted to make that point, because one of the questions that like, sometimes we get is like, hey, USDT and USDC are like, so secure. Like, why would we ever provide coverage for it? And that’s really the reason why. Sorry, I started with the answer before the question. But yeah, should be those two,
Rob – Amulet
awesome and Shin Are you able to give a bit of an insight into how we track a depegging event?
Shin – Amulet
So, for those who has been engaged with it to the crypto world is you know, that from the on chain database, where you can get these from the Oracle. So on Solana, there will be like, we are talking we are talking with chaining as well as appears to basically we will be getting their using their price feeds monitored the price movement. And I guess that will be a quick answer to that. But on top of that, we also like to be like, a little bit into the product design domain, whether we are going to use a spot price or whether I mean, from an insurance perspective, whether we are going to use a moving average, Saunders, I’m not going to share too much on that. Because that will be I mean, once we have identified the pricing model and risk modelling, that will be you, and then we can find out is whether we are going to use the moving average, or the spot price. But yeah, but the short answer is we are going to use Oracle.
Rob – Amulet
Awesome, great. Now I’ve got three more questions that are specific. And the next one, I’m definitely going to Rupert for, because I’ve heard him answer this question a couple of times. And I really like his answer. And I would hope with the content we’ve got out there that some of you have heard this answer too. But the question is, many people know that Solana enjoys to have a bit of downtime. How are we going to handle when that happens?
Rupert – Amulet
Yeah, I have answered this many, many times over. But in short, Solana is in beta, right? It was. It is a chain that is growing. And actually in the last couple of months or so we haven’t actually had any issues at all, but in interest or they’re, as a startup, they are prone to have issues as is almost everybody in the defi industry. And if you look back to the history of Etherium, back in 2016/2017, they had breakdowns all the time, it was almost literally entirely a centralised chain. There were a handful of nodes around that ran theory. And it’s very easy to forget that now because there’s 10s of 1000s, or hundreds of 1000s. Out there now. And it’s a very stable chain, albeit with ridiculously high gas fees, make it prohibitively, prohibitive to do any sort of, like high frequency, financial transactions or anything, whereby on Solana, they’ve solved all these issues, they’ve taken a lot of the, the stuff that Etherium just couldn’t do, and they couldn’t do quick, quick enough. And they put it into a workable state. A lot of people say it’s too centralised, I suggest they go and have a look at Solana Beach, because in Solana Beach, you can see the nodes operating, it’s very much not central to centralised is all over the world. They have 1000s of nodes now validators operating as do very well. Definitely on a centralised chain, yes, they have issues, the issues are getting less and less. And I think, in broad strokes, even if they did have a little bit of downtime, it’s not a massive issue for us, we are, you know, we’re at risk. That’s a pretty slow moving industry, you know, I’m not expecting to have 10s of 1000s of transactions generated by AMITA on our day, if we have 10, then we’re probably doing pretty, pretty good like that, you know, we don’t need to have, you know, 1000s of transaction to have an operating business. So just because, yeah, Solana has has it issues, it doesn’t really impact our business. And, you know, we will of course, monitor it over time, but from what we’ve seen and what we know from the team, and we’re very close to this larger team, now. They’re on it, they it’s getting better and I’m very much looking forward to the day when we never have to talk about this again.
Rob – Amulet
Cool, expect it in the next day. I mean, I mean cool. So next question. I’m gonna go to the Martin for because then the final question I’ve got on my sheet is actually quite a fun one that we can all answer. But this one, I’m gonna head over to Martin it’s about as many people will know, there’s a poker tournament going on tonight, a little game for the community as reward for the hard work and contributions. So the question was more just Martin could you give a bit of an overview of what events have happened so far? And what your what your thoughts are with the plan that were coming in the next next couple of weeks or so

right I was I was waiting for that question. One of our first events was actually the poker which has been choose by the community we want to make sure then our events are choose by you guys something good majority of the community enjoy and again it has been it has been poker which looking on number of people interesting in it it will be pretty huge this evening then everyone are welcome if you’re expert if you’re a beginner this is this is an event to enjoy to relax after so many news on our server today and nice opportunity to win win some some some rewards. And we already had as I mentioned a poker and a smash card as well which has been lots of fun and also we planning to have a few more just to add the mix of the events then that will include I think Istanbul guys was the second in the latest vote then that will be added hopefully next week, but obviously that will be announced it with more details soon. What we basically want to create we want to create for you guys not only blockchain all of the information everything but also applies when you can when you can build a bond with with people around the world have exchange your exchange the conversation in the communities then loads of events one hopefully we’ll manage then everyone find something for for them as well because not everyone might enjoy the poker. Not everyone might enjoy the Smash Karts, which is absolutely brilliant by the way. But yeah, the idea is to make sure that everyone have the opportunity to have something for themselves. Obviously, when our community will continue to grow, we add more events just to make sure we give out more opportunities to win some some rewards. And also for you guys to have you type of the of the event. And then if you have any ideas, please drop, drop. DM to me, all right in our feedback feedback channel, and we add this to the poll. Then, as I mentioned, if you guys have any feedback, or any request or an ideas, let us know. And we add this to the to the to the voting poll, hopefully, the event it will be epic looking on how many people are planning to join, I want to make sure we have enough tables for it. And our app would not crash, fingers crossed, everything will go smooth. Thank you.

If you need if you need some advice on how to play poker, I’m not very good. But the most I know is from Kenny Rogers, the gambler, which has a song and American song from a long time ago. So maybe that could give you some help. If you listen to that.
Rupert – Amulet
Is that the one that says
Rob – Amulet
You’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em
Rupert – Amulet
Yeah, it’s not it’s not exactly a training manual.
Rob – Amulet
That’s why I’ve never won
Rupert – Amulet
I’ve definitely got a vote no more smash karts that the I keep on losing. Its I am a sore loser. And I keep on losing as smash karts
Martin/Pinto – Amulet
I am extremely good.
Rob – Amulet
So quite a fun question that I’ve been, well we can end it off with which we can all answer individually. It’s a team question. Really? What would we be doing if individuals if cryptocurrency doesn’t exist? And this industry doesn’t exist? So I’m going to put that first to you Rupert before I answer myself, because I know you’re probably going to say something along entrepreneurial fintech side
Rupert – Amulet
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I’ve been building all sorts of businesses. If I if crypto didn’t exist, FinTech probably still would and it would be something along those lines. My previous business was a fintech. And yeah, I suspect it would be some sort of FinTech related business. And yeah, it’s not that not that interesting. From my point of view.
Rob – Amulet
What about yourself, Jimmy?
Jimmy – Amulet
That’s really tough.
Rob – Amulet
I keep passing it to you as i’m still thinking myself.
Jimmy – Amulet
Rather do nothing. If I was being I don’t know. Me on a mountain or something. Go climb a mountain instead? Nothing. Nothing is really quite as interesting at this point. So sorry, it’s a bit of a lame answer. But maybe, maybe, yeah, climb, climb some mountains out there. Or not work.
Rob – Amulet
Think mine is quite similar to you really. Because even though I’ve done marketing in web two, it was actually web three that gave me the opportunity to change career. I hated what I was doing. So without crypto covers, even on blockchain technology, I’d be I don’t know, depressed somewhere. Yeah, it’s been it’s been such a big part of my life over the last five, six years, I guess, because I left the industry for a little bit. And maybe I’d be doing something similar along the lines. One of the company I worked for last time was all about wishes again, why I’m actually in blockchain technology, but I’ve always been a big fan of crypto is I always am keen on places where equality and democracy and plays and things like that are at the forefront. So like I worked for an A a piece of technology previously, that was aimed to try and get rid of some subconscious racial bias within the recruitment process. And to me that it would be something where that equality and people’s opportunities because one of the I worked for a DeFi project, before the DefI had its boom. And the reason I I mean, I was not interested in credit solutions in Southeast Asia. But what I was interested in was bringing a form of equality and a perform and bringing credit facilities towards that part of the world so that they would be have the same opportunities that we have in the UK at the time or in Spain, where I live right now to being able to provide a bit more of equality and a bit more fairness around around the world. And Martin, I don’t know if you ever know answer to that. So obviously in this community,
Martin/Pinto – Amulet
I’ve been actually a pretty, pretty lucky to have a few seconds to think about my answer. Then probably I will be one of those 1000s people in the building in Delphi is just typing typing the emails from from nine to five going back to home and eating. But I like to think I like to think then I will be professional snowboarder, which we would it was always one of my dreams since being a kid as I’m snowboarding nearly 25 years. I’m too old to be professional. But yeah, it’s that what I like to think that we’ll be doing a professional snowboarder in my age almost 40.
Rupert – Amulet
If we’re going with with dreams like that I would be an f1 driver.
Martin/Pinto – Amulet
Or that is a that is a good one. That is
Rob – Amulet
to be honest, I would probably be aiming for Manchester United manager. So yeah, I don’t know whether you’ve got anything different. I guess you’ll just be leading tECH and smashing off a project with a non crypto company.
Shin – Amulet
Not really. You’ll be surprised, actually, I might be a travel photographer. Oh, wow. No, because of the COVID, the full lockdown of the country. Besides trained, trained as a programmer, I mean, coder, I’m also trained photographer also definitely was worth what I was considering travelling for free, food for free, agency for free, and then they’re going to pay for your hotel and pay for your food. And they’re going to travel around and try to try to I mean, should have pictures of all those experiences and share it with people. It’s kind of my dream job.
Rupert – Amulet
Amazing. That’s why our team photos are so good. I
Rob – Amulet
I did wonder why Shin was in charge of it. And now I know. I did well, which by the way that the time never questioned it. And now it makes total sense to me. So that’s brilliant. Cool. So I think we see we had so many questions on Twitter, and we had so many questions in the AMA group, we should have actually covered everything. In the 50 minutes that we’ve done. Now. I will open it up in case anyone has anyone wants to unmute themselves and ask a question that wasn’t brought up.
Rupert – Amulet
Question is whether or not people can unmute themselves.
Rob – Amulet
Because I’ve used for so many people, but I think I think I think it was the day usually we’ve never we’ve only had that once. And that was mainly because I made that person come onto Discord from Twitter when they asked the question.
Rupert – Amulet
Masha came off
Rob – Amulet
That was me. That was me to see if it would still have feedback. It definitely did. definitely did. Yeah. So I thought it wasn’t worth risking that on the other people I forget. Well, I think we’ll set more reminders in the future to make sure everyone mutes themselves and I will unmute everyone that I had to mute myself this time. But the settings do look like people when they join in should be automatically muted. So yeah, but yeah, that seems I’ve covered everything. And we’ve gone way over time.
Rupert – Amulet
Thanks so much, everybody. It’s been an epic, ama. There’s a biggest one we’ve done so far. I hope you enjoy the amination app. please engage. Please let us know. Anything you want. Featured in there or there’s anything that’s unclear. Yeah, smash it. Let’s go.
Shin – Amulet
Thanks, everyone. Thanks
