🧌 Trolls Den Mega Space — Six Hours of Shills, Songs and Sincerity

Host: Troll King XPX (@TrollKingXPX) with cohost Jessica (@Jessicacrazycat) · Mon 14 Sep 2026 · 6h 09m · ~20 speakers

TL;DR

• Trolls Den ran its monthly Mega Space with a strict banner-only lineup: roughly a dozen project pitches, four special guests, two topic blocks, and music breaks roughly every 90 minutes.
• The giveaway pot snowballed live on stage as speaker after speaker threw something in — from one NFT to seven prizes by the end, credited to the topic of the night.
• Tribe Called Rex (@TribeCalledRex) announced its long-delayed mint is finally live: 7,500 dynamic 3D Rex avatars with swappable wearables, over 1,000 minted, minted on their own site rather than a marketplace.
• Two topic blocks anchored the middle and end: "givers gain" with Money Miller and Ash K, and "endurance" with Faizan Shakeel and Troll Lookalike — both drew the biggest live response of the night.
• Faizan sang "Fly Me to the Moon" live, mixed with an Indian song — and later got an unexpected greeting in Hindi from Ash K.
• Housekeeping was firm and repeated: banner only, no audience shout-outs, and open-mic Shill Spaces Tuesday/Thursday 4pm ET as the on-ramp to a future Mega Space slot.

Highlights

[19:14] KODAI opens from 3am in the Philippines. Benjamin (@Kodai_xyz)^* got the first slot because of the time zone and used it to lay out the Kodai bot (1,000+ Telegram groups in four months) and the Hub — his pitch for it, delivered at speed: imagine a DEX Screener, an X, a Telegram, a streaming service and an arcade in one place. He also flagged a token launch in October, skipping the public pre-sale, and a $5,000 game prize pool. He signed off with "off the bed for me, 3 a.m." [33:10].

[34:10] RaidSharks widens the frame past the pitch. Death Wish (@RaidSharks)^* spent as much of his slot on people as on product — 9/11 remembrance, Suicide Awareness Month, an open offer to listen to anyone who needs it. On why anyone should pick RaidSharks as a raid bot, his answer was one word plus three years of receipts: trust. "We're just old men trying to make crypto better" [39:56].

[52:03] Panda Pals and the bamboo. Panda (@PandaPals__) walked through the collection (200+ skins, pandarinos and pandarinas) but the part that stuck was the lore: bamboo can sit underground for years, then grow 60–90 feet in 60 days. "Just because you don't see the growth happening doesn't mean it's not happening" — applied equally to the project, the gym, and your abandoned New Year's resolution [56:15].

[1:19:05] The grandmother interrupts the Mega Space. Mid-transition, the host's phone lit up on repeat. Grandma spam-calls until you pick up, his father was already in the queue, and the host's exasperated read on the situation landed hard with the room. Tyler from Crypto Fight Club opened his own pitch a minute later with the only correct response: "you gotta answer your grandma. Who doesn't answer their grandma?" [1:20:07].

[1:20:07] Crypto Fight Club doesn't talk about Crypto Fight Club. Tyler (@CFConSolana)^* ran the whole first rule bit as a list of things he wasn't going to mention — a million punches thrown, two million impressions, treasury buys of other projects' tokens — then pivoted into the collab roll call: Pop Dog main events, a free game built for another community with RaidSharks as sponsor, and Tickle Fight Tuesdays, where last week's winner got $500 thrown at their chart and pumped 23.7% during the space.

[2:20:47] Money Miller on givers gain. Introduced as the music guy, he corrected the record first — two and a half decades in enterprise tech, plus Prism, a creator-rights and provenance layer he's building. Then the topic: giving with your hand out isn't giving. He described creative value as asymmetrical and rippling, and got personal about what community meant when he was working from home and going through a divorce: people who notice when you go missing and call to check [2:44:18].

[2:48:49] Ash K answers in verse. Woken at 3:30am, he wrote a poem instead of sleeping and read it cold: the version of givers gain where the ten people you helped don't come back. "Sometimes giving reveals the disguise that was hidden from you." It lands not on bitterness but on a good heart that "does not have to grow cold from every lesson you will learn." Money Miller's reaction: you couldn't follow that up any better [2:54:01].

[3:16:14] Tribe Called Rex finally ships. Gary (@TribeCalledRex)^* — who dropped off the stage once by hitting the wrong button [3:13:54] — described three years, a walked-away founding team, a failed CTO and a rebuild. The result: mint a crate, reveal when you want, then swap wearables in their studio and update the metadata. Over 1,000 minted, 0.02 ETH, on their own site because the launch platforms they spoke to "were just seeking volume." Plans stretch to seasons, tribes, a ninth tribe that started as a community joke, and 3D file drops.

[3:47:33] Quack Life: coloring books, ducks and conservation land. Mystic (@quakklife)^* covered mint bounties, staking and cross-chain minting, then the bigger vision: raising funds for conservation land monetized through multi-community resorts. Jessica read the coloring book's dedication aloud — creativity that changes the world, and ducks that "remind us to float through life with joy" — and the shipping saga of getting that book to Sweden (about a month and a half) became its own small epic [4:01:29].

[4:05:54] An emoji dance-off decides a giveaway. With a Trolls Den original song playing, the host asked the audience to dance in emoji, crying faces and thumbs-down disqualified. Ava took it on consistency. Quakey's post-mortem was pure commentary-booth: "There's like a whole skill to putting out emojis, guys. You if you go too fast, then at some point you slow down... and then you might drop the crying emoji" [4:09:42]. One near-winner had fat-fingered exactly that.

[5:11:03] Troll Lookalike's origin story. Jonathan (@Alanlookalikeau)^* — on his personal account, Vegemite sandwiches already packed — told how he and his late father-in-law used to joke about "this silly coin" before he passed in 2014. He and his wife bought in around 2018, partly to honour a promise to look after his daughter. Crypto has since helped the family buy their Sydney house outright and support relatives through hard times. Later, on endurance [5:41:02], he framed it as a mental preparation game: pause, get your head right, then execute — plus a jeweller's offer to help with Normie and Jesse's wedding, gently timed out by half a planet.

Worth a full listen

[2:39:36]–[3:01:29] — the givers gain block. Money Miller's framework and Ash K's poem back to back, then Jessica and the host adding the harder edge: give freely, but audit who gets your time. The summary can carry the arguments; it can't carry the delivery, and the poem in particular needs to be heard whole.

[5:11:03]–[5:24:00] — Jonathan's story. The father-in-law, the promise, the delayed decision to actually buy, and what the bags eventually did for his family. It goes somewhere quieter than a crypto origin story usually does.

[4:05:54]–[4:12:14] — the emoji dance-off. A giveaway decided by stamina and pacing, adjudicated seriously by two people, with a genuine disqualification for a stray crying emoji. Then the host attempts to beatbox "Pump It Up" and abandons the project mid-bar.
