r/mashit

Hey guys, we keep experimenting with ways to expand the possibilities for artists and the utility of Mashis for collectors.

In this partnership with r/thenewsbruh and u/Hoppy_Doodle, holders of Paperboy ( https://mash-it.io/mashers?listing=940 ) can play the News Run game ( https://mash-it.io/game/play/news-run/final-boss ).

We just added a Final Boss level with an experimental feature: "Victory Prompt." It uses Gen AI to create a victory pose based on the Paperboy image, the Boss image, and the player's prompt.

This image generation consumes AI tokens, which cost real $$$.

As a pilot, we are sponsoring 100 plays, fully absorbing the token costs. If this works, we'll explore how to make it sustainable.

Now we want your feedback:

1. What's your opinion of images being generated by AI based on non-AI Mashis and artwork designed by our artists?
2. If we charge a small amount (e.g., USD 0.15–0.20 per play, like an arcade), would you play? Part of this money would cover the AI token costs, and part would go to the artist/game designer who created the sprites for the game. Note: this is one way of addressing "AI stealing artists' work" — actually, AI would let collectors augment the artist's work while remunerating them with a micropayment in every gameplay.
3. If we sell $MASHI "stablecoins" (again, to play a game, it would cost 15–20 cents of 1 $MASHI) to be used in games and other features, would you buy? Note that this would be a "utility coin" — similar to a stablecoin — not a speculative asset. Don't buy it expecting it to "go to the moon"; its value would be stable, and the use case is to play a game or perform an action that consumes tokens.
4. Any additional considerations or ideas?

We are excited to hear your feedbacks and to see your victory images! (There are rummors that Paperboy holders who defeat the boss might receive something)

There was a version of the sea
that still gave things back.

Then something changed.

What sank did not stay buried.

What floated did not stay harmless.

And what looked untouched was usually the first sign.

They say Oceania 000000 came from that threshold.

From the hour the water stopped separating relic from waste.

From the place where discarded things learned how to keep a shape.

It returned speaking only one word:

Not as a greeting.

As proof.

After far too long in creation, me latest piece finally be complete! Inspired by the amazing anatomy that be the human hand, behold Hannikan.

Much focus 'nd attention were given to cross hatching to describe form in this one. Can ye tell? 👀

I'm really thankful to everyone who buys on own, but mashing isn't that affordable with those prices. Have a nice day!

First came the hymn.

Soft at first.

Almost impossible to hear beneath the noise of steel and shadow.

But once it began…

the air changed.

Fear loosened its grip.

Fortune returned.

And somewhere above the realm, something answered with light.

The Holy Heaven Egg has appeared.

Not every force enters the war to destroy.

Some arrive to bless what still remains.

The Darkest Secret is no longer hidden.

Darth Morgan 99999 has entered the realm.

Where metal gathers, she is never far.

Steel Spike Eggs now sleep beneath her shadow.

Metal Mastery bends to her will.

And the deeper players go into the dark, the more her mark begins to appear.

Some Avatars enter the realm to be collected.

Others arrive to change it.

Darth Morgan was never just another release.

She was the hand behind the darkness all along.

This is a partnership with r/thenewsbruh and u/Hoppy_Doodle!

1. To play you need to hold The Paperboy Mashi: https://mash-it.io/mashers?listing=940
2. Once you have the Mashi, click here to play: https://mash-it.io/game/play/news-run/the-suburban-street

Stay tuned for more "news" in the next few days!

After terrifying the realm for so long, the King has fallen to a coup d'état that emerged from the populace. Now, naked and on his knees before the guillotine, he awaits the Mashi holders' decision:

• "Mercy" — the king is spared and returns more powerful than ever.
• "Guillotine" — the king is beheaded, clearing the way for a new contender.

Voting ends on July 10 (friday) 4:30 AM EDT.

About voting:
Voting power is capped at 10 and follows "quadratic voting" logic:

• 1 Mashi held = square root of 1 = 1
• 4 Mashis held = square root of 4 = 2
• 16 Mashis held = square root of 16 = 4
• 100 Mashis held = square root of 100 = 10

This idea was borrowed from a post by Vitalik. It aims to give more voting power to people who hold more Mashis, while preventing whales from single-handedly deciding the outcome.
