Weekly Doom — The Final Countdown

Host: Doomsayers (@DoomsayersNFT) with co-host Sirski (@sirsapient) · Tue, 28 Jul 2026 · 1:09:31 · ~4 speakers

TL;DR

• The full Doom summer schedule is out: 2.0 mint (Aug 1), meme drop, a four-record airdrop (~Aug 10), monthly trade night (Aug 20), a Lex Tezos drop, the void event (Sep 1), and a Doom Dollar burn (Sep 14).
• Doomsayers 2.0 mints Saturday, Aug 1 — it's the "ticket"/sacrifice piece, not the main collection. Combined with a Doomsayer in the September void event, it earns you into Bloodsayers, the small flagship collection launching on Ethereum in October.
• Sirski walked through the GTD vs. first-come-first-serve allocation (5+ Doomsayers at snapshot = GTD; invited communities that raffled spots = GTD; top-50 picks = FCFS) and pointed everyone to the wallet/whitelist tracker pinned up top.
• News roundup covered the Bankr bot Twitter hack and X's slow support, a derivative-art witch hunt aimed at one serial launcher, and the Nobody Sausage / HEBO token split touching the Claynosaurz orbit.
• Recurring theme from the guests: rewards should be intentional, and taking care of holders financially is the real founder job.
• Weekly Discord hangout continues Wednesdays 7pm EST; Sirski hosts State Base on Thursday.

Highlights

[7:59] Four days to 2.0. After opening with a couple of tracks (a friend's beat and, of course, "The Final Countdown"), the hosts got to business: Aug 1 is the 2.0 mint. Sirski clarified that anyone who completed the original Bloodberry Sauce/void event is already secured and doesn't need to do anything, but can grab more if they want.

[9:09] The allocation breakdown. Sirski explained the GTD vs. first-come-first-serve split — 5+ Doomsayers at snapshot and raffle-based community spots landed in GTD; simple top-50 community picks went to FCFS. GTD is under-allocated (no issues), FCFS is intentionally over-allocated with the plan to mint out before public.

[12:25] Content pipeline: memes and a four-record drop. A Lex meme drop lands this week, and J Burn's record airdrop (~Aug 10) grew live on the call — Sirski floated tying a record to a random hub badge to spark internal trading, and Doomsayers immediately confirmed he has the records ready, landing on four as "the perfect number."

[21:13] The slow burn of Bloodsayers. Doomsayers gave an unhurried love letter to the project's pacing — a deliberate, long build in a space where big projects "do a hundred, two hundred ETH and then dip." The two mused on whether Bloodsayers (on ETH) or Doomsayers (on Base) ends up the flagship, and whether ETH provenance becomes many collectors' first door in.

[32:27] The Bankr bot hack. Sirski laid out the ongoing drama: Bankr's X account was compromised, the dev (0xdeployer) has been locked out for days despite paying for premium, and support has been a "circle jerk fest." Speculation ranged from a sophisticated outside hack to a possible inside job at X.

[38:03] "How did they die? We don't fucking know." Doomsayers summed up the frustration of an unresolved hack with a deadpan — nobody can say what actually went wrong, and there may never be an answer.

[38:17] The derivative-art witch hunt. Sirski recounted his morning "Twitter war" defending nobody in particular — a serial launcher had shipped derivative work referencing Sicco's Dysfunctional collection, and big accounts piled on to brand him a scammer. Sirski's point: this space runs on derivative art, and the pitchfork rally felt selective. The silver lining — he ended up making friends with Sicco, the original artist.

[47:17] Nobody Sausage vs. HEBO. Sirski traced a messier split: artist Nobody Sausage appears to have been dropped by HEBO (an entity in the Claynosaurz/token orbit), left publicly blindsided and stuck holding a token he says he never controlled. Doomsayers turned it into a sermon on ownership.

[1:00:42] "Make them money." The guest (GoYAbEaN)^* made the case that rewarding holders is the single best thing a founder can do, citing Cybercombs' longevity — the "it's just for the art" line rarely survives a floor-price drop. Doomsayers capped it: your holders are your stockholders.

[1:07:38] "All I have is the news." As the room wound down and Sirski offered the mic for shilling, Doomsayers admitted he never brings anything to these — just the news — before the warm outro of shoutouts to the crowd.

Who said what

• Doomsayers (@DoomsayersNFT^* — host; ran the room, DJ'd the intro, laid out the record/meme/trade-night side of the schedule, and did most of the philosophizing on pacing, ownership, and rewarding holders.
• Sirski (@sirsapient^* — co-host; handled the operational detail (2.0 allocation, wallet tracker, void mechanics) and drove the entire CT news roundup — the Bankr hack, the derivative-art pile-on, the Nobody Sausage/HEBO split, Grail Swaps, and several new launches.
• Likely GoYAbEaN (@goyabean_eth)^* — guest; grounded the incentive-design chat with a builder's read on Godpool/FWA-style launchpads and why holder rewards sustain projects.

Worth a full listen

• [21:13]–[27:12] — Doomsayers' unbroken riff on why Bloodsayers is a slow burn, rolling into a genuinely open back-and-forth with Sirski about whether ETH or Base ends up the flagship. It's the clearest window into how they think about the two collections, and the summary flattens the texture.
• [38:17]–[47:17] — The derivative-art segment is the most alive stretch of the room: Sirski's morning-war confession, both hosts talking through "is copying a compliment or a crime," and the twist of befriending the original artist. Worth hearing in their own register.
• [1:00:17]–[1:02:20] — The incentive-design exchange between Sirski and the guest on rewards, launchpad liquidity, and "make your holders money" — short, but the practical heart of the news half.
