1/ After a month of searching, sniping, optimizing, and bidding, I just completed all 5 @GLiFSbyEfdot collector challenges!
✅ 300/300 Source GLiFS
✅ 30/30 Palettes
✅ 14/14 Layouts
✅ 10/10 Color Sets
✅ 3/3 Grid Sizes
In the end, it took me 65 GLiF pieces (excluding duplicates) to make the full set.
Some highlights from the journey 🧵
➰ GLiFS Collector Challenges are live! ➰
Color palette triptychs, grid types and more...
Build your set → glifs.art/my-glifs
4/ The endgame gets rough.
I had 40-65 bids active at any time.
The last 5 GLiFS took longer than the first 200.
My final pending piece had zero listings for weeks.
I had to bid on every single one.
Fun math: the theoretical minimum to complete all 5 challenges is 43 SPECIFIC pieces.
My set needed 65.
But 43 is likely impossible.
Many of those pieces are co-created by their holders.
They're not for sale because they're loved. ❤️
5/ You don't have to go full completionist.
You do what fits you:
🎯 Grid size set: 3 pieces
🎯 Your favorite color set: 3 pieces
🎯 The layout set: 14 pieces
❤️🔥 One piece per family member
Pick your challenge and start hunting.
Shoutout to @EfdotStudio for making rad art and sharing it with others to co-create and collect 🤝

Excited to see what's next.
tonight, death and taxes ends.
a group of citizens organized. a large holder agreed to sacrifice four of their own citizens, 17 eth each. the group pooled the funds and bought the final four deaths. i didn't end the game. the citizens did. i can't imagine a better ending than that.
tonight the four are killed, the population reaches 69, and this phase of the game officially concludes.
now the important part, survivors:
your share of the treasury does not move on its own. claiming is a pull function. it does not happen automatically. you go to the site and you claim it yourself. there is exactly one place to do this: deptofdeath.xyz/irs. anyone who sends you anywhere else is trying to steal your hard earned eth.
the 69 will be paid exactly as written. that sentence has been on every surface of this project since the beginning. tonight it comes true.
i'm proud of what i built. the art, the strategy, the mechanics, the puzzles, the story. but, it also cost far more than i expected. it broke me emotionally. damaged relationships with people i genuinely care about. i said from the start that the tension and the discourse was part of the art. some days that was hard to believe.
thank you to everyone who played, watched, doubted, screamed, accused, and stayed. all of it was participation. all of it is in the work.
to the 69: you outlived a world. survived 201 grueling days. you will soon collect what the world owes you.
i'll have more to share later. still trying to process all of this. the subnet is coming. but for now i need a vacation.
