a quick retrospect on today’s @betrmint round:

First and foremost, the @paragraph integration worked flawlessly ( 👏 @netnose) 

Secondly, we had about 200 mints during the BETR Believers early phase, but then the game ended inhumanly fast when we sent the public notification… like potentially less than 30 seconds?

While this is technically a “good problem to have”, it’s not a fun experience for those who miss and it’s not great for getting new people to join the community. We know. 

A few weeks back, when the games had gotten too fast, we implemented a 5-spin per wallet limit during the early mint phase, and for a time that helped to stretch the rounds out. 

But with the increasing popularity of the mini app, that’s not doing the trick anymore. 

We will now have to implement a spin limit during public as well in order to make it more fair for everyone. We’ll work on this and have it ready for the next round on Wednesday, so please come back and try again!

You’ll still need to be quick I’m sure, but ideally we won’t have rounds that end instantly like today. Sorry for anyone who was frustrated by that today. We are dealing with crushing demand basically, and doing our best to iterate and navigate. 

Also it’s worth mentioning that owning 50M $BETR gets you a 10 min early notification for the rounds and access to an alpha chat, so you are basically guaranteed to get your spins in, plus there is a bonus 25x Jackpot on the wheel when you spin. If you can afford to join our community that way, it’s hands down the best way to avoid frustration on spin days. 

Thanks for another successful spin sesh, and thanks for supporting @garrett and the @basedevo movement. We drove over 525 mints of his essay in less than 11 minutes, resulting in over $250 in creator rewards. See you all on Wednesday!

It’s nearly spin time, so just wanted to send a quick update on this note from Monday: @netnose and I have been hard at work and, as promised, we have instituted some new limits for public spins that should make it easier for more people to participate and slow the game down a bit. 

As of today:

- BETR Believers can spin 5 times during the early 10 minute headstart phase (same as before)
- After public notification goes out, everyone including Believers can spin 10 more times (new.)

We have some other ideas to implement here too, including potential exceptions for those who hold a higher tier of $BETR (BETR Belugas? 🐋) but these will take a little longer to integrate. 

As with any changes to the @betrmint code, we ask for your patience with any possible delays or bugs today. If you encounter errors with spins, a lot of them can be solved by closing Farcaster, reopening and trying again. 

Round will be ready to go here soon, so crack those knuckles and GLHF!
