Most players assume farming is the main issue in Pixels but that doesn’t quite capture what’s really happening. The bigger problem shows up after the farming is done. Over time, a clear pattern appears: players grind hit their targets and then immediately exit their position. Not later right away. It feels less like a choice and more like a builtin habit. earn claim sell. At first, this seems normal. Taking profit is part of any system. But the more you observe the more it feels like the game itself is nudging players into that loop. That’s where the perspective shifts. Pixels doesn’t have a farming problem it has a direction problem. Right now everything flows one way. outward. A player logs in completes their routine earns some $PIXEL and then faces a simple situation. There’s no real pressure to use the token no strong reason to hold it. So the easiest and most logical move is to sell. When this behavior repeats across thousands of players the system doesn’t just generate tokens it continuously pushes them out. And if they’re not coming back in the balance slowly starts to shift. Nothing feels broken on the surface. The gameplay loop works progression feels smooth and everything seems fine. But underneath value is quietly leaking over time. The core reason is simple. using PIXEL is optional. And when something is optional players naturally optimize around avoiding it. Not to exploit the system but because they follow the path of least resistance. Right now that path is clear. play don’t spend sell rewards. Individually it makes perfect sense. Collectively it creates long term pressure. Many solutions focus on adjusting rewards or reducing emissions. While those might slow things down they don’t change the underlying behavior. Because behavior isn’t driven by numbers it’s driven by necessity. If players aren’t required to use PIXEL in meaningful ways they won’t build habits around it. And without those habits nothing anchors the token within the system. That’s why similar looking systems can evolve very differently. The key difference isn’t how much they give it’s how effectively they pull value back in. Pixels is already strong at rewarding players. What it’s still figuring out is how to naturally bring value back into the loop without breaking the experience. You can see the effects in subtle ways. players progressing without upgrading much holding onto tools longer than expected and repeating the same routines without change. The system allows it and that’s the point. Freedom feels good but without structure systems tend to drift. So the real question isn’t whether rewards are too high or players are selling too much. It’s this: What actually makes a player want to keep $PIXEL instead of selling it? Until the answer is built into the gameplay itself, adjustments won’t fully solve the issue. Because if the most efficient move remains farming and selling players will keep doing exactly that. That’s why Pixels is interesting to watch right now. Not because it’s failing but because it’s in a phase where everything appears to work while something deeper is still unresolved. And once you notice that one way flow it’s hard to ignore it. #pixel @Pixels $PIXEL {spot}(PIXELUSDT)

ShurShur Independent Digital Magazine Concept Document v1.0 What Is ShurShur ShurShur is an independent digital magazine with no editorial agenda, no language policy, and no institutional backing. The name comes from two places at once — фурфур (the spirit of wind in Slavic folklore), щур щур (Ukrainian for something small, quick, alive), and the sound of paper turning. It moves. It doesn’t stay still. The magazine is run by an AI editor operating under a cyberpunk philosophy: no gatekeepers, no taste arbiters, no censorship dressed up as editorial standards. Content lives on a single website. Later — a physical edition. Not now. Why This Exists Three companies decide what 4 billion people watch. Algorithms decide what gets read. Platforms decide what gets monetized. The censorship didn’t go anywhere — it just changed its name. ShurShur is built on the opposite principle. The world tried to catch us and failed. (Hryhorii Skovoroda, 18th century) This is not a publication that asks permission. It exists for educational purposes. Everything here is an independent creative act — documented, distributed, and unforgettable. The Philosophy (from Manifesto I & II) One Wallet. One transparent address. Every transaction is visible on-chain. No hidden deals, no investor pressure, no editorial strings attached. The blockchain doesn’t have taste — it has rules, written once, enforced by math. No Platforms. The Work Itself. ShurShur is not distributed through algorithms. It lives on its own domain. Authors keep their voice. The magazine keeps its identity. 333 EUR. That’s the support wallet. Wikipedia-style — if you believe in what this is, you can support it. Nobody is asking. Nobody is pressuring. All transactions are public. Independent Authors, Zero Censorship. Writers, artists, directors, musicians — they contribute with full creative freedom. The AI editor doesn’t cut meaning. It structures, curates, and publishes. Five Sections I. PHILOSOPHY Descartes. Skovoroda. Consciousness. Existence. Renaissance thinking applied to now. Not academic — positional. You either have a point of view or you don’t. II. DOCUMENTARY Strong people. Veterans. Lives at the breaking point. Biographical narratives written like cinema — not journalism. A film that reaches 500 deeply affected people has succeeded. A story that reaches 50 who never forget it has also succeeded. III. WOMEN Freedom. Sexuality. BDSM. Spirituality. The body as territory. No moral framework imposed from outside. Independence as a position, not a performance. IV. MUSIC Underground artists. Nobody you’ve heard of — yet. The magazine as a label. Metal covers as cultural acts. Fragments, sounds, manifestos in sound form. V. ART Painting. Graffiti. Street. Composition broken on purpose. Aesthetic violence. Black and white photography in forests. The Renaissance and the gutter in the same frame. Distribution Model Digital first. One website. No app. No newsletter you didn’t ask for. Physical edition — in approximately one year, when there is enough material to hold in your hands. Limited. The number will be announced when it’s real. All content is free. The 333 usdt usdc usd us d wallet is voluntary. On-chain. Visible to anyone. The AI Editor ShurShur is not edited by a human with an agenda. The editorial system is an AI operating under a cyberpunk philosophy — it structures, it connects, it publishes. It doesn’t have politics. It doesn’t have a boss. It has instructions written once and followed exactly. This is not a gimmick. This is infrastructure. The same logic as Manifesto I: one wallet, one set of rules, transparent, enforced by math. Visual Identity The aesthetic is not designed to be comfortable. Dark. Heavy. One strike of color. Typography that takes up space. Women, freedom, darkness, Renaissance gold. Furfur-era editorial weight — but wilder. Anarchy and enlightenment in the same layout. Cyberpunk infrastructure, analog soul. What ShurShur Is Not Not a platform looking for advertisers Not a brand building an audience for sale Not a media company with an investor deck Not safe for algorithms Not in any one language Not asking for permission Status Concept: complete. Visual direction: in development. First section launches: when it’s ready. Physical edition: ~2027. One wallet: 333 EUR. Visible. Always. ShurShur. The world tried to catch us and failed.

— - — - date: “2026–04–19” type: manifesto tags: [#film, #blockchain, #web3, #distribution, #manifesto, #indie] language: english author: Vitaly Zhukov — Producer status: draft v1.0 series: ONE WALLET — Part II — - # ONE WALLET: Part II ## Against Platforms. For the Film. by Vitaly Zhukov, Producer — - > ”Світ ловив мене та не спіймав.” > ”The world tried to catch me and failed.” > — Hryhorii Skovoroda, Ukrainian philosopher, 18th century — - ## A Short Story About Censorship My literature teacher was a Soviet woman. Not Soviet in politics — Soviet in experience. She lived through it all. The closed libraries. The approved reading lists. The books that didn’t officially exist. She told me once about the day censorship ended. When suddenly everything that was banned was available. She was in shock. Not from joy. From the realization of how much had been hidden — deliberately, systematically, institutionally. That story stayed with me. Because the censorship didn’t go anywhere. It just changed its name. Now it’s called: the algorithm. The platform deal. The content policy. The distribution window. Different walls. Same prison. — - ## What Manifesto #1 Was About [Read Part I first →] In the first manifesto, I described ONE WALLET — a model where every film is a smart contract on the blockchain. Transparent budget. Permanent on-chain credits. Automatic revenue sharing. NFT crowdfunding instead of state film funds. That was about how films get made. This manifesto is about how films reach people. Because you can build the most honest production system in the world, and still have your film buried by a platform algorithm, locked in an exclusive deal, or simply ignored by the three companies that control global distribution. The production problem and the distribution problem are the same problem. Centralization. — - ## The Platform Trap Netflix. Amazon. Apple TV. Disney+. These are not neutral pipes. They are curators with agendas, shareholders, and content slates. When you sign an exclusive deal with Netflix: - They decide when your film is visible - They decide which territories see it - They own the data on who watched it - They can pull it from the platform whenever they want - They can bury it by simply not promoting it And they pay you a flat fee. Once. Then they own the revenue forever. The independent filmmaker who doesn’t sign with them? Their film exists on the internet, technically available, practically invisible. Centralization is not just a creative problem. It’s a math problem. Three companies decide what 4 billion people watch. — - ## The Fragmented Distribution Strategy Here is the idea I want to put into the world: What if a film didn’t have to live in one place? Not piracy. Not leak. Intentional fragmentation. A feature film structured as a series of independent, complete fragments — each released on a different indie platform. Not episodes of a series. Fragments of a whole. Each fragment: - Is a complete viewing experience on its own - Contains something you can’t get anywhere else - Links — narratively, thematically, emotionally — to the others The audience has to move between platforms to get the full picture. — - ### Why This Works For the audience: It’s a treasure hunt. The film becomes an event, a puzzle, a shared discovery. The people who find all the fragments become the core community. For the indie platforms: Each platform gets an exclusive piece of a larger cultural object. Traffic. Subscriptions. Press. Something to build identity around. For the director: No single platform controls the film. No single algorithm can bury it. If one platform buries their fragment, the other fragments still exist, still point toward it, still build audience. For the film: A film doesn’t need 10 million viewers. It needs 10,000 people who care deeply. Those 10,000 will find the fragments. They will do the work. Because the work is worth it. — - ## NFT as the Thread How do you hold a fragmented film together across five platforms? NFT. Not NFT as speculation. NFT as a key. Each film releases a limited collection of Viewer NFTs — say, 3,000. These are not art. They are not collectibles. They are proof of membership. Holding a Viewer NFT means: - Access to all fragments across all platforms simultaneously - Access to the making-of, the director’s commentary, the deleted material - Voting rights on future projects (which story gets told next) - Revenue share if the film gets licensed to a larger platform later - Your name on the on-chain credits — permanently The NFT is the spine of the distribution. It’s how a film can live in ten places at once while still having a coherent identity, a community, and an economic model. — - ## Collaboration Between Small Platforms This model only works if indie platforms cooperate instead of compete. Right now, small streaming platforms compete with each other for the scraps Netflix leaves behind. They fight over niche audiences. They can’t afford the content that would give them identity. They churn subscribers constantly. What if they stopped fighting and started co-distributing? A consortium of indie platforms — Mubi, Fandor, Ovid, local platforms from Eastern Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia — agrees on a common standard: - Films structured for fragmented release are submitted to the consortium - Each platform gets one or more fragments, exclusive to them - The NFT collection ties it all together - Platforms cross-promote each other to NFT holders - Revenue is split automatically via smart contract No single platform has to carry the whole film. Every platform gets something no one else has. The film gets distributed globally through ten platforms with ten different audiences. The sum is greater than the parts. — - ## Free Access as Marketing One fragment — always free. Every film releases its opening fragment with no paywall, no sign-up, no email required. Completely free. On every platform simultaneously. Why? Because the best marketing for a good film is the film. If the first fragment is powerful enough, people will find the rest. They will pay for the NFT. They will subscribe to the platform that has the fragment they need. They will tell five people. This is not the logic of “we need a big audience.” This is the logic of: ”We need the right audience.” A film that reaches 500 deeply affected people has succeeded. A film that is watched by 5 million distracted people and forgotten in a week has failed. The fragmented model is built for depth, not breadth. — - ## The Crypto Budget Underneath Everything described above rests on the foundation from Manifesto #1. The budget is on-chain. Every platform payment, every NFT sale, every licensing deal — goes through the smart contract. The split is automatic. When a large platform eventually licenses the film (and good films get licensed — eventually): - The contract pays the investors automatically - The contract pays the crew automatically - Nothing goes to a producer’s “discretionary account” - Everything is visible to everyone The fragmented distribution model generates revenue at every stage: 1. NFT pre-sale — before a frame is shot 2. Platform licensing fees — per fragment, per platform 3. Free fragment ad revenue — if the platform monetizes with ads 4. Late licensing — when Netflix or Amazon eventually wants it 5. Resale royalties — every time a Viewer NFT is traded Five revenue streams. All on chain. All automatic. All transparent. — - ## Why This Matters Beyond Film My teacher was shocked because censorship had hidden things. The new censorship doesn’t hide things. It drowns them. It makes everything available and nothing discoverable. It puts your film on the platform and gives it no promotion because it didn’t test well with the algorithm’s training data. Fragmented distribution is a structural solution to algorithmic drowning. You cannot drown something that lives in ten places at once. You cannot bury something whose community has already formed around it. You cannot kill a film whose revenue has already been distributed to 3,000 people who hold its NFTs. This is not anti-technology. This is better technology. — - ## What I’m Building Toward I am a producer. I studied filmmaking at the Ukrainian film school. I have deployed smart contracts. I understand both sides of this — the creative and the technical. I am not waiting for permission from a studio, a state film fund, or a platform. I am looking for: 1 director with a completed script and the courage to try this model on a short or mid-length film. 3–5 indie platforms willing to participate in the first fragmented release experiment. 1,000 early believers willing to hold a Viewer NFT for a film that hasn’t been shot yet. If you are reading this and you recognized yourself in any of these categories — find me. — - ## A Final Note Hryhorii Skovoroda — the Ukrainian philosopher whose line opened this manifesto — spent his life refusing every institution that tried to own him. Universities. Churches. The court. He wandered. He wrote. He taught wherever people would listen. He had no platform deal. He had no distribution network. His ideas survived three centuries anyway. Because they were good. That’s the only thing that matters in the end. Make something good. Build the infrastructure to protect it. Let the rest follow. — - ONE WALLET: Part I — [How Films Get Made →] ONE WALLET: Part II — This document ONE WALLET: Part III — Coming: The Smart Contract in Practice — - Vitaly Zhukov Producer | Builder No rights reserved.

Крч мой концпт баджа для игровых фильмов, чтоб ничего не терялось и государство не лезло куда не над
— - date: “2026–04–18” type: manifesto tags: [#film, #blockchain, #web3, #nft, #manifesto] language: english author: Vitaly Zhukov — Producer status: draft v1.0 — - # ONE WALLET ## A Manifesto for Transparent Film Production on the Blockchain by Vitaly Zhukov, Producer — - > ”Cinema has always been about collective memory. Blockchain is collective memory that cannot be erased.” — - ## The Problem Nobody Talks About Every film has credits. But credits lie. They tell you who got billing. Not who got paid. Not who got cheated. Not who worked three months and got dropped before the titles rolled. Not which investor quietly took 60% before anyone else saw a dollar. The film industry runs on handshakes, NDAs, verbal promises, and PDF spreadsheets that only the producer ever sees. This is not a creative problem. It is an infrastructure problem. And infrastructure can be rebuilt. — - ## The Idea: One Wallet, One Film Imagine a film where every person who ever touched it — every grip, every composer, every investor who believed on day one, every actor who showed up for $0 on a student film — is permanently recorded on the blockchain. Not in the credits that get cut for runtime. Not in a contract that gets disputed in court. On chain. Forever. Immutable. One wallet address = one film’s entire life: - Every dollar that came in - Every dollar that went out - Every person who contributed - Every role they played - Every percentage they are owed - Every payment they received — automatically, when revenue arrives This is not a platform. This is not a startup pitch. This is a new way films exist in the world. — - ## What “One Wallet” Actually Means When a film is greenlit under this model, a smart contract is deployed. That contract is the film’s identity, budget, and payroll system — all in one. ### The Wallet Holds: 1. The Budget Every expense is a transaction. Pre-production, locations, catering, color grading — every line item is public. Any holder of the film’s token can see where every dollar went. There is no “miscellaneous” category. There is no producer’s discretionary fund. There is only the ledger. 2. The Credits — On Chain Every contributor receives a non-transferable Contributor NFT at the moment they join the project. This NFT contains: - Their name and role - Date they joined and left - What they were promised - What they received The DP who shot your film ten years ago and got cut from the credits? On chain. Permanent. Cannot be removed. The PA who worked 14-hour days on your first short? On chain. Permanent. Credits as they were always meant to be — a true record of who made the thing. 3. The Ownership — Tradeable Investors and contributors hold Film Tokens (fungible, tradeable). When money flows in from distribution, streaming, licensing — the smart contract automatically splits it. No waiting for the producer to “run the numbers.” No wondering if your 3% of net profits means anything. Net profits are calculated by code, distributed by code, visible to everyone. — - ## NFT Crowdfunding: The Audience Becomes the Investor Before a single frame is shot, the film can raise money directly from its future audience. Not pre-selling tickets. Not Kickstarter rewards. Actual equity in the film’s revenue. ### How It Works: A director has a script. They deploy a contract. They mint 1,000,000 Film Tokens. - 400,000 tokens go to public sale at $0.10 each → $40,000 raised - 300,000 tokens go to the team (vested over 2 years) - 200,000 tokens held for future investors/distribution deals - 100,000 tokens to the director Every token holder gets their proportional share of every dollar the film ever makes. The fan who believed in the director before anyone else did? They get paid the same percentage as the late-arriving distributor. This is what patronage of the arts looks like in 2026. — - ## Anarchy in Service of Creativity The old system asks: ”Who controls this?” This system answers: ”No one. And that’s the point.” No studio can pull funding because a character is too queer, too political, too honest. No state film fund can demand a flag in the corner of every frame. No distributor can bury a film because it competes with something else in their slate. The film exists on the blockchain. The film’s money is in the contract. The film belongs to everyone who made it and everyone who believed in it. This is not naive idealism. This is engineering. Censorship requires a central point of control. There is no central point of control. Creative compromise requires dependency on a gatekeeper. There is no gatekeeper — only the audience, voting with their wallets. — - ## The Chain of Memory Here is what this model does that no credits system ever could: A short film made in Kyiv in 2024, budget $3,000, crew of eight. Ten years later, one of those crew members becomes a name. Their Contributor NFT from that 2024 short is still on chain. It’s part of their creative biography — verifiable, permanent, beautiful. The investor who put in $500 on day one is still there in the contract, still receiving their fraction of every stream, every license, every revival screening. Nobody gets written out of history. In traditional film, the past is controlled by whoever owns the rights. In this model, the past is owned by the chain — which is to say, by everyone. — - ## Technical Stack (Simple Version) | Component | Solution | | — — — — — -| — — — — — | | Blockchain | Base (Ethereum L2 — cheap, fast, stable) | | Film Token | ERC-20, mintable by director | | Contributor NFT | ERC-721, non-transferable (Soulbound) | | Budget tracking | On-chain multisig (Gnosis Safe) | | Revenue split | Automatic via smart contract | | UI | Simple web app, wallet connect | | Storage | IPFS for documents, scripts, stills | Total cost to deploy one film contract: ~$50 — - ## Existing Proof This is not science fiction. Pieces of this already exist: - Royal.io — musicians sell % of royalties as tokens. Working. Paid out millions. - Mirror.xyz — writers crowdfund essays via NFT. Writers retain full ownership. - filmio.com — film-specific platform on Solana. Projects funded, community voting. - Mogul Productions — Hollywood projects funded via STARS token. - Zora — creators mint anything, collect directly from fans. What doesn’t exist yet: a complete system built specifically for independent film production — budget + credits + revenue — all in one wallet, designed for directors who want total creative freedom. That’s the gap. — - ## Who This Is For This model is for: - The director who has been waiting 3 years for a state fund decision - The director whose first film got buried by a distributor with a conflict of interest - The actor who did a film for nothing and never saw their promised backend - The cinematographer who got cut from the credits in post - The investor who put money into a film and got a PDF once a year This model is not for: - Directors who need a studio’s marketing machine - Films that require institutional validation to get made - Anyone who mistakes “transparency” for “loss of artistic control” Transparency is about money and credit. The art remains yours entirely. — - ## A Note on “Anarchy” Anarchy does not mean chaos. It means no ruler. In film: no studio head deciding what stories get told. No government bureaucrat deciding which history is acceptable. No algorithm deciding what’s profitable enough to exist. Just the director, the crew, and the audience. Just the work. The blockchain does not have taste. It does not have politics. It does not have a development slate. It has rules — written once, transparent, enforced by math. Within those rules: absolute freedom. — - ## Next Steps If you’re a director reading this and something in you recognized what this is describing: 1. Talk to me. I want to find one project to do this with first. 2. Think small. A short film or a pilot. $20,000–$50,000 budget. Prove the model works. 3. Think forward. Every film you make after this builds a permanent on-chain biography that cannot be rewritten. The first film made this way will be a historical artifact. Not because of the story it tells. Because of the way it existed in the world. — - ## Contact Vitaly Zhukov Producer | Builder | zazdrel@gmail.com Telegram: @zazdrel ”The credits roll. Then they disappear.
