- What’s all this about about seems $POINTLESS to me 🤪

- POINTLESS EXPERIMENT
DAY TEN 😎🫢🫨👻
19M $pointless on its way out the door to early, active & onchain lensoooors 🪴
Read the scoop on @lens/t2world: https://app.t2.world/article/clutx16nh4599811zmcndmaly55
The 411
- recap of the first ten days (if you missed them): we're halfway!
- announcing the community call next wednesday (details in discord soon) + the pointless builders club 🔨 🏗️
- rewards for early onchain active @lens/lensprotocol
fam will be changing after the next issue, the next pointless experiment issue will be the LAST where LP, collector, etc airdrops are as juicy
- celebrating writers! (still looking for one to try writing an experiment issue, $pointless remuneration of course).
- @lens/mycaleum will be updating the leaderboard asap and sharing, plus rewards to random retweet + likooors on this twitter thread too: https://x.com/papajimjams/status/1770679887897989506 😄
All income from collects goes to LP pool as always, 10,000 pointless, 5% referral, 72 hours, thanks for rocking!
Thought: trying to fit in and not to be authentically weird/unique is irrefutably $pointless 🤪
- In the past few weeks I have been able to collect all this TOKENs for free just by following these wonderful creators and actively engaging with their posts. Thanks to @lens/papajams for introducing them to me during the #papajams contest with $POINTLESS.

- 🌊🌊 FIRST WAV3 EVER WITH $ZURF 🌊🌊
Can't tell if there's ever going to be another one. 🤔
This is an experiment.🔬
You know the game, mirror, earn $ZURF.
Ofc I will ban from any future airdrop those who go to sell it instantly 😂😂😂
We are about a couple of weeks away from the official launch. Beta-testers have been testing, struggling, and enjoying. We hope you really like what's coming, and no, it's not just wav3s in a mobile app. We aim to break the internet again, creating opportunities for everyone to make wealth out of their creativity and aping instincts.
We'll be waiting for you.

- 😹 what’s the first song you learned on guitar ?
- An infinity paradox #werkit
- $pointless problems in retrospect
- PSA
If someone has your passcode + steals your iphone they get access to everything (all bank, crypto, email etc accounts via keychain) IMMEDIATELY & can lock you out so even Apple can’t help
Pay attention with the latest upgrade - it’s easy to click past / ignore (“not now” option I nearly clicked) but is super important as it instigates a cooling period of a week or so till changes take effect if someone with the correct passcode requests then. So you have time to report an isssue before getting locked out forever m. Some sad stories in this podcast to reflect how savage it is if this happens to you. Don’t let it.

- The best time to raise for Lens-native apps is now. Do what you want with the information, anon.
- Zoom out 👀
- I created this artwork in support of the @lens/pointless community. Each brushstroke reminds me of our unity and boundless creativity. Together, as we craft a vivid picture of purpose and passion, we embark on an exciting journey ahead. Only 69 editions are available, with just 200 $Bonsai required to mint each. 90% of the proceeds will go directly to the $pointless treasury.
- We’re in a unique position to learn, and adapt, from those that have gone before us.
I just published a piece examining 47 of the top most tips earned on farcaster via $degen and some lessons they may teach us around cultivating a builder & creativity focused ethos in the garden 🪴
Always absolutely ravenous for feedback, who will feed papa? https://paragraph.xyz/@papajams.eth/funding-the-future-on-farcaster-and-beyond-with-dollardegen
- Not long ago I published an article on medium about the ways in which AI tools are democratising cinematography
Feels like @club/electricfilm are the perfect case in point to study in this regard:

- Nigerian okra dish - outlandishly good
- Don’t worry babe, been stacking $pointless
- Painfully accurate 😴 💤 🛑😑🤦🏽♂️
- DeBank and Rabby wallet are now tracking $pointless price
- Hearty spacey vibey GMs
Word on the grapevine is that this is the place to share some @lens/zoranetwork music & vibe?
Minted this collab with @lens/anatu
*Grow 🌱 Old Together

Congrats 🥳 on ATH liquidity, community, vibes, mcap and all that. Suffice to say the garden 🪴 is growing.
As always the scoop is on @lens/t2world: https://app.t2.world/article/cluj9gk6t8064261zmc7zoaeevk
Highlights
- the $pointless meme competition is wrapped $ 1B to memers, jump in the discord to share your wallets, more soon - meme makers are so pointless right?!
- A heavy does of love to the @lens/p00ls team and what they are doing to help creators tokenise their creativity
- Case stude: Bowie Bonds
- Spotlighting followers collectors, dreamers.
This tweet thread is slowly but surely helping spread the word, thanks for amplifying lens to the world: https://twitter.com/papajimjams/status/1770679887897989506?s=46&t=Mzh82nbovTS2hVetWoCw4A
We will be announcing a twitter spaces or unlonely hang out for DAY TEN 🔜 due to happen sometimes next week with @lens/sydney_bro and a few other @lens/pointless people. Stay tuned, excited to reach the halfway point of this wacky experiment.
Focusing on BONSAI @club/pointless liquidity providors in the next issue (share your wallet address in the discord when you add any amount), as well as collectors of the last few collectibles, and WRITERS: please share your favourites who are telling the story of lens for future generations to learn about (any publication).
Think i'm out of pointless things to say. Oh and all income from collects goes to the LP pool as always. 50 BONSAI, 72HRS, 5% referral. Au Revoir!
- Building meaningful, impactful, delightful products or communities or even services is such a team effort.
Sending huge congrats to the @club/orb team for this launch. This recent update is a corker!!
FYI @lens/nilesh is speaking at seed club tomo (live.seedclub.xyz) to raise the roof on what’s cooking here. I will deffo be tuning in.
Just loaded by wallet with $BONSAI, please share collectible art (that’s not your own) in the comments - would love to collect fave’s
- For any parents out there: do they still say this to kids today ? Lol
- How sentences sounds when transformed into LinkedIn babble 😂
Is there a lens equivalent ?
If you want to make responses available in $pointless I will collect the funniest ones
- $pointless liquidity is fragmented between many assets (other social tokens like $electric or $chaos too)
As such, friendly reminder to use Dex aggregators to get better prices (0x, DeFiLlamaSwap, Paraswap, 1inch) instead of using Uniswap directly 🌿
- There is some TOP TIER scouting in this latest update.
Seriously smart and powerful frens are joining the #Lens Garden and I'm grateful that @lens/papajams has rolled out the $pointless welcome mat for them!
The $pointless leaderboard has been updated and once again, the ranking is quaking.
Don't wait too long frens. It's only $pointless until it isn't. 🧠

- Note @lens/t2world
As a reader I don’t need to be logged in to view an article 🤠
But It seems I need to be logged in to view a t2world profile e.g. papa’s 🥺
Seems like unnecessary friction, typically reader login only needed if content is behind a paywall or they are looking to comment
Maybe intentional, in which case ignore, but thought I would flag 🐣
- OG role to grab on @lens/pointless discord frens 👀
Invite link: https://discord.gg/HVmP4Kkax7
- $pointless leaderboard has been updated!

Some seriously large multiway ties to break up eventually.
@lens/anatu is making strong headway into the top 3!
Congrats to Day 7's recipients, we are happy to have you join the $pointless fun.

Things are only $pointless, until they aren't.

Juicily pointless haha. THANK YOU ALL for vining with this pointless experiment. @lens/mycaleum will be updating the leaderboard shortly and sharing that out so keep an eye on his profile. Things are popping in the discord, over at the meme contest, on the website, and we are looking at podcast/spaces options on @lens/buttrfly. Who should we speak to??! Added MOAR to the pointless / CHAOS lp using revenue from previous collects. This post is collectible in ELECTRIC for the next 48hrs, random rewards always on the table + anything raised goes into providing liquidity.
