Show HN: HypeVortex: Combining Crypto and AI in the stupidest way possible
This reminded me of "Token Mania" of 2020-2021 so I decided to combine the two concepts in an absolutely useless way - enter the HypeVortex.
I made a token on Polygon (contract here: https://polygonscan.com/address/0xf06bEedB6B21B3072b424919be...). This token CANNOT be exchanged, it can only go from me to users and back to me. It's worthless.
You login with email (sorry), and get a code emailed to you (again, sorry). Then a wallet is made for you, you claim HypeVortex tokens and spend them on AI. Your email is stored as a hash, I don't know what it is and I can't see what anyone does.
All in a geocities style page. With midi.
I have no profit motive here, it's entirely silly fun. For those of you born early 90s and before, I hope you have some nostalgic fun with it.
sign the guestbook! it actually works!
at login, instead of an email address, type "show_hn" (without quotes). It'll populate the login code, and you can log in.
The token balance will deplete from 10,000 and when it goes below 1000, will be topped off to 10,000. It does have a wallet which is linked in the UI, you can look at it and see the transactions.
This way, no one has to create accounts with their email address. You can if you want, but you don't have to and there is really no reason to, unless you want your own (completely useless and worthless) HYPE tokens.
My middle school English teacher used to post readings to his geocities page which was filled with goofy guitar gifs and would autoplay "Fake Plastic Trees" upon load.. that has stayed with me.
