# 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?"*
