Which is a better intro to Megapot in a job description?

New vs. old below

Latest update to #1 is here:

Also, this goes at the top of the job posting, with other details below, see here: https://jobs.gem.com/megapot/

building first global jackpot @megapot • ex @uniswap • 🟪 #45, FID #1575

thanks for the feedback! that was the goal, to use more plain english and be more clear about differentiators

Yeah I think the “billionaire every day” is a strong meme and I would lean into that for a hook. Sorry for the confusion around which was with. They are both good anyway.

hehe so #1 is actually the new one! we're considering more plain english over technical terms, switching from "largest jackpot" which is just ambition, to more clear what it is "first global jackpot"

appreciate where you're going with the suggestions! we're trying to walk a fine line balancing attention grabbing vs. something that is more muted but delivers a heck of a statement... for some reason that makes it feel more believable.

I can see sth like this, but it needs a bit more text workshopping 🤔

"The year is 2028. Every day, the world pauses for a moment every day to see who just became a billionaire..."

specifically, we like the idea of there being specifically a moment that the world watches. like hq trivia or the NYE ball drop in NYC!

I like what the new one is trying to do, but the hook is too passive. A hook should never begin with a prepositional phrase. 

Maybe you could try it a different way, like for example, story-telling tone, or a thought-provoking question. 

“The year is 2030 and you stop everything you’re doing once a day just to check out Megapot and see… who became an instant billionaire today?”
 
Or

“What if every day, someone in the world became an instant billionaire? At Megapot, we’re trying to make that a reality.” 

Just off the dome, but recommend something more like this. 

Also, congrats on the stealth raise! Was going to ask you about angel but I guess I missed the boat 😂

thank you for the feedback! yeah, i like that one-two punch!

here's the latest, but i like how you mention "already" - will add that in: https://farcaster.xyz/pl/0x9238c94c

I have a soft spot for that aspirational hook and a lot of people have mentioned how much they like it, shortened the x-borders/blockchain parts!

#1 for sure, but I would take the first sentence and put it in front of paragraph two. That’s a killer opener (“huge vision and btw we’re already leading”)

Then place paragraph two near the end as it’s more aspirational — they can choose to feel that way if they actually read it all

short and sweet. agreed. investors like thinking about the "why now" and technical terms. candidates will give you 15 seconds to get them to care before they bounce

You and @tanishq really love that hook! I do too... What about moving the hook to #1 and keeping the rest of #1?

In a few years, the whole world will pause for a moment every day to see who just became a billionaire. At Megapot, we’re building the first global jackpot. 

Every state and country already has a lottery. Blockchain’s credible neutrality and universal access allows us to transcend borders.

As crypto’s largest jackpot, we have a daily $1 million prize and have run over $100M in jackpots. Our novel bootstrapping mechanism built massive prize pools and our platform-first approach drove significant volume from third-party apps.

We are building the fairest way to play. All fees are returned to the community, giving players far better expected returns than traditional lotteries. Anyone can “play as the house”, earning fees previously limited to casino operators.

We haven’t announced publicly, but we’ve raised $5M from Tier 1 crypto investors, plus founders of the world’s largest iGaming brands and protocols with $10B+ in TVL.

Number 2 … I love the strong hook at the beginning.

Yes I agree. For me that visualization is the MSP. Probably we wouldn’t wanna go in technicalities (from 2) based on who this is for. 

Simple is better, but maybe 1 needs just a little more voice of courage

hmm, if i moved the visualization to #1, would that sway the vote?

i like the visualization but think #2 overcomplicates things and doesn't really go into what's unique about our product

I love 2. It sets a very strong visualization up-front!

just sent over an application for the full stack role, think i'd be an excellent fit!
