Today I have some free time to talk about my feelings in the first half of the year. Since being ruthlessly cut in December 2021, I have been fully immersed in the process of "撸毛" (a term referring to a specific activity). It took me half a month to finally select a few "精撸项目" (projects that are worth "撸毛"), but I won't reveal the project names because I'm going to vent my anger about one of them next (I gave up "撸毛" for this project in June, lasting for 6 months).#
Let me briefly introduce the "撸法" (the way of "撸毛") for this project.
-
There are multiple versions of the network that need to be tested, released in order, but no one knows this in advance.
-
The first network has restrictions and requires completing their designed levels to accumulate points for qualification to participate in the testing. This indicates a high possibility and variety of airdrops.
-
This has ignited our fighting spirit, with a luxurious lineup of investments and high expectations for airdrops.
I quickly prepared 156 accounts. I worked until after 3 am that night, completing the account and network preparations on the computer provided by the company. The next day, I worked and accumulated points during the day at the company, and the day passed like this. After dinner, I continued to accumulate points at the company until around 12 o'clock, and I earned some points. I felt satisfied. Please note, in the first few days, I was very passionate and interested. This continued for nearly 2 weeks, and suddenly more points were needed to qualify, and it became more difficult to obtain points. I searched Twitter and DC information but couldn't find out if the rules had changed. There was no choice but to continue accumulating points as usual.
Day after day, I repeated the same actions at the same time, subtracting 4 to 5 hours of actual work time, 1.5 hours for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 6.5 hours of sleep, and 0.5 to 1 hour playing with my phone and watching TikTok. The rest of the time was devoted to "撸毛，" and of course, there is more than one project to vent about. This lasted for about two months, and I obtained 83 qualified accounts. I tested the interaction on the test network for all of them, "撸毛" happily and exhaustingly until the end of the test network. Finally, I could breathe a sigh of relief. Every night before going to bed, I fantasized about how many "u" I could airdrop. Based on past experience, each account would receive at least 1000 "u," so I would have 83,000 "u." Then I could sleep peacefully. However, the good times didn't last long. After more than half a month, a new test network was launched. This time, there were almost no restrictions, no need to accumulate points, and anyone could participate in the testing. I was frustrated for a while because it meant that the more participants there were, the less airdrop each individual would receive. However, I changed my mindset and continued to participate. So I prepared dozens of accounts, a total of 240 accounts, to make it a whole number. Good things come in pairs.
Now the pressure on me is even greater. The requirement for testing is to interact, stake, unstake, and claim every week. Each action will increase the test score, but each interaction action can only add points once a week, no need for multiple interactions. With 240 accounts, I can complete all of them every week and still have 10 hours of free time left in the last week. I still interacted with hope like a child, and I continued for more than a month. This test network finally ended, and I was exhausted. The only thing that made me happy was that my boss didn't notice that I had been slacking off at work ><
"If nothing unexpected happens, the airdrop should be announced soon. Damn it, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will definitely happen." Another round of test network came, and I was like, "What the hell?" I cursed, but what could I do? I could only continue testing with a determined mindset. I have been doing this for almost 4 months. I can't give up now. Now I have to interact with three different networks, and each interaction adds points. The testing of this new network version is also troublesome and time-consuming. Now I don't have time to "撸毛" other projects every week. I only focus on this one project for the whole week, and there is no spare time left. Some weeks, I finished everything on Sunday night after 11 o'clock. Despite this, I still tell myself that my efforts will be rewarded.
"One day, after testing for more than a month, while I was testing, the interface suddenly changed color." I took a closer look and saw a "maintain" button. Finally, it went live, and I didn't have to test anymore. I should be one of the first to know about the launch of the mainnet, except for the project team. Ah, the fruits of my hard work are finally coming. But before I could be happy for a few days, the official announcement came. There will be more activities to accumulate points in the future, and the test network will continue to be open. Staking Matic on the mainnet can increase points, and the more Matic staked, the more points will be added. Damn it. In the next ten days, the top 20 in terms of points mostly became major stakeholders on the mainnet. Most of them didn't participate in the testing. I was so angry that I almost spat out blood. I didn't care about my face anymore. Even in this situation, I continued testing. Finally, the test network ended completely, and I finally gave up. Now, almost all of my accounts have dropped from the top 3,000 or 4,000 in terms of points to outside the top 10,000. Only two accounts that staked Matic can still be seen in the rankings. The price of Matic staked has also dropped by four times. I have been completely "反撸" (a term referring to the negative outcome of "撸毛") by the project team in terms of time, space, and money. I spent a full six months on this "撸毛" project, spending more than 10 hours on it every day from morning till night. While others were playing games and having dinner, I was "撸毛." While others were dating and having sex, I was "撸毛." I didn't work this hard even when I was pursuing a girl or taking the college entrance exam. In the end, I made a mistake. I think some people should have guessed the name of this project, right?
What I want to tell everyone is that if you find something wrong with "撸毛，" withdraw immediately, just like finding a partner, cut your losses in time.#
Also, I want to tell everyone that I am currently in the office, typing these words in the same location, in a similar scene...
