Quirkies Sniper Sunday 🎯

Host: Quirkies (@quirkiesnft), voiced by Papii — Sun, 16 Aug 2026 — 1:01:17 — ~12 speakers

TL;DR

• Sniper Saturday overran into Sunday: a turtle beard sold for ~3 ETH to a real-life turtle biologist, the Green Vision Punk Rock Wizard moved at 2.2 ETH, and Papii sold his V1 punk to grab a Finch skull.
• The big Wacky giveaway is live — a ~2.5 ETH-floor wacky up for grabs, with weighted entries for higher-value quirks and live bounties placed on three floor quirks during the space.
• Bounties stacked up in real time: Mac added a Yu-Yo meme card, and TatakaeFYT threw in physical vintage sports cards (a Kobe Bryant) on top of the ETH/inks/quirkling rewards.
• Security was a serious thread — Jaahshua showcased a new 1/1 quirkling he's using for a Discord security app he's building with Bullduck, prompted partly by two community members getting hacked last week.
• Mac framed the current moment as the "collectible bottom" for legacy NFT brands, praised Quirkies' on-chain-reputation-driven culture, and coined the running sign-off: don't vaporware yourselves.
• It was Papii's birthday weekend, which meant multiple birthday serenades — including a bilingual one — and a proposed AI voice-clone karaoke bit at Sho's expense.

Highlights

[7:25] The triple/quadruple-host cold open. After a stretch of connection gremlins (and a rap intro from the Quirkies "jam" account), Papii welcomed everyone with the full crew on stage — Kojo, Sam, and Sho, "the karaoke queen." Sam handed off the mic with the night's ethos: "here for a good time, not for a long time."

[10:06] Kojo vs. his own connection. Having spent 25 minutes "locked in no man's land," Kojo asked the room's real question — "Yo, why can't I start a space without rugging?" — after Sam gently blamed his silence on a Tennessee Titans-grade performance. Sho clarified her own energy for the record: not passive aggressive, just aggressive.

[10:38] The Sniper Saturday tape. Papii ran the weekend's sales — two skulls, a Finch, the Green Vision Punk Rock Wizard legendary at 2.2 ETH, plus a mohawk, pizza pirate garb, and more. The standout: the turtle beard at ~3 ETH, sold to a collector who's an actual turtle biologist and had his eye on it for weeks.

[17:26] Giveaway + bounties go live. Papii laid out the Wacky giveaway (~2.5 ETH floor, "liquid at 3k US"), weighted entries for grails, and a plan to put ETH bounties on three floor quirks in real time — with quirklings/inks giveaways teased next once this one wraps.

[21:46] Jaahshua's 1/1 and the security build. Josh (Jaahshua) came up on his newly sniped iconic quirkling one-of-one, which turned out to be "absolutely perfect" for a Discord security app he's building with Bullduck. That led into a sober look at last week's two community hacks — one via a compromised platform, one via a fake verification bot posing as X2Y2's Discord.

[26:53] A blessing from Korea. G EEN came up simply to give flowers and, on his Monday morning, offered the room a blessing: "may He give you strength where you feel weak, peace where you feel restless, hope when you feel lost, and courage to begin again."

[41:35] Wallet-diving and the "collectible bottom." Mac turned the snipe browsing into a thesis: he loves getting lost in collectors' wallets, and reads the current market — legacy IP holders selling into Robinhood-style vaporware — as deeply bottom-y. Papii confirmed multiple recent quirk sales where the ETH went straight into meme-coin plays that cratered within 24 hours.

[43:59] On-chain reputation as the real filter. Mac defended the Wackyville curation (which Papii helped with): the goal was on-chain reputation over follower counts, pointing to 200-follower accounts holding blue-chip bags. His rule of thumb — if a wallet doesn't match what someone's tweeting, they're noise.

[47:16] The bilingual birthday serenade. APESister Grace hit-and-ran the stage to sing Papii happy birthday in both English and Chinese before dashing to another space. Papii's response set the tone: "You need to buy a quirky. That's the toll for singing."

[54:00] Karaoke, cloned. The wrap devolved into a plan to make a voice clone of Sho — "so many recorded spaces," Piff noted, "I get so many good clips" — to generate AI raps over her quirkies, to Sho's mounting protests of "What did I do to you guys?"

Worth a full listen

• [41:14]–[46:42] — Mac and Papii's back-and-forth on where the market actually is: ETH rotating into Robinhood vaporware, the Wackyville curation philosophy, and why on-chain reputation beats follower counts. The most substantive stretch of the night.
• [47:16]–[49:16] — APESister Grace's bilingual birthday song and Papii's "toll for singing" reply — a warm, funny beat the summary flattens.
• [53:54]–[58:17] — The comedic wind-down: the Sho voice-clone plot, the sports-card/Kobe bounty stacking, and Walter's deadpan "What is a kettle?" close.
