@ChiBitCTy. I am more excited to see how Jakobi Meyers and Davante Adams might play with their popular quarterback hehehe. There is also Josh Jacobs who was very good in fantasy last season.

In any case, if Jimmy G had no serious injuries, I reckon they might get a chance to play in the wild card round, post season.

felt this one in the feels



I do have something planned to do in July/August, not exactly sure how I'm gonna execute it yet, but if the market cooperates and fees aren't still shit b/c of ordinals/brc20, it could really be a thing. We'll see. It's relevant to the topic of discussion, which is why I mention it.

Our own NFL fantasy league NFT profile pictures? I would be happy to get one! To have NFTs as profile pictures to flex would certainly bring some fun back in the forum. If we had our own fantasy league profile pictures it would make it appear that we are part of an exclusive group hehehe.

If only signature campaigns were not very strict in requiring partcipants to use their profile pictures.

In any case, my compute cluster of 1000 gameboys to process my 2023 draft order is ready.

@nutildah. I also got similar reactions in the meta subforum. They were not calling me a scammer, however. But what they do not yet understand is that with the rising popularity of AI to produce text and images, we would not know if the people we are interacting on the internet with are AI or real people. This might then bring a rising popularity for digital signatures usage and NFT usage to prove that it was you, the person, who posted a text or shared an image on the internet.

In any case, for my compute cluster, I do not have the budget for 500 Atari Lynx IIs hehhehee.

So in 2014 I registered all the NFL team names as Counterparty tokens (except for BEARS b/c that one was already taken) and tried to run a game where peeps buy the token of the team they think is going to win the Super Bowl, and then if that team wins they can cash in their token for a share of a prize pool. The main problems were:

 - there was almost no crossover between Counterparty users and NFL fans, and
 - despite there being a DEX involved, the game was still dependent on me to honor the prize payouts.

I think this time around it would be much more successful. Am still theorizing how best to execute it.

Having a full-on fantasy league with tokens for individual players would be extraordinarily expensive, even if transaction fees come down; not to mention potential legal issues from likeness rights and all that.

It would be fun as hell though. I could do it on Dogeparty for a fraction of the cost but it would take days to create all the draft-able player tokens  

You could execute player swaps via the wallet DEX & buy and sell players for DOGE, but points would have to be calculated manually. It could be automated using their API but damn it'd be a huge hassle, basically re-creating via blockchain what a fantasy football platform already does instantly. The upside is you actually _own_ your players. That's about it.

Oh wow, so I wasn't even close in my guess as to what you were referring to lol. I have to be honest, I'm not that sharp when it comes to cryptography and all aspects outside of the main stuff (what's a blockchain, a satoshi etc ), but this sounds fun to me.  Anything footballfantasy football and crypto...I'm always going to be all ears.

On a side note, let's say none of that ends up being implemented, it would be cool to make NFTs for league winners, maybe a weekly NFT for high scorer , stuff like that.  Sound interesting at all?


We really should do 12 teams.  It's much more fun that way.

So I like the Idea behind Best Ball, As you all know I pm people that forget to set their lineups or have last minute scratches.

I don't know how injuries are handled though, if your QB gets knocked out for the season your just boned? Or your kicker like butler last year? I had to use a rostor spot last year for 2 kickers most of the year and that sucked. but you need those points each week and those are positions you don't normally draft 2 players in. Come to think of it TE as well if you lose that position its not as bad as QB or K but can ruin your chances.


Thinking about this I guess the drafting strategy would be way different.

You guys that have played it want to chime in on these thoughts?


Also I would have no problem doing 2 leagues this year of differing formats (except ppr) and think it would be fun to do a early draft on one (bestball maybe) and a late one after pre season for our main one.

Do not worry some of us were still noobs not long ago and even then I still make mistakes, last year I drafted Brian Robinson after he got shot just because I had no idea what Yahoo meant by the NFI status, which means Non-Football Related Injury, so I had him on Injury Reserve for weeks until I could finally play him, so I wasted that pick on the draft of last year.

I hope you are not right at the end of the season. Will come back to this post then..  otherwise I will ofc behave very quietly!


Let me figure out something:
The system behind Bestball is that we build our roster at the beginning and it is not possible to change it afterwards for the whole season right?
Actually quite nice because it saves a lot of time, the other way around it can also go totally wrong if you choose the wrong picks.

Someone drafted Gronk last year, funny thing is it was right before I was going to.
