Barista: Kitties&NFTS, Gloucester County NJ
Discord: Kitties&NFTS #7642
Roles: Twitter Engagement & Trivia Organizer in addition Raid Queen
About: Hey everyone! IRL I am a nurse and have been for 8 years now! I am a woman in Crypto who is obsessed with animals, reading, binge watching True crime documentaries, occasionally working out and i love coffee and wine! Fan of all things involving Philadelphia Sports. Got into crypto during the pandemic and have my partner in crime (JPEG_CREG aka Baby Grinch) to thank for the guidance! It’s been a crazy journey and a very fast learning curve! Coffee club was my first real community / family in NFTs. I’m very happy to be here and help our team trail-blaze the coffee space in web3!

Discord: JPEG_CREG#9808
Roles: Moderator, One of the Raid Kings, One of the Hype Men, Trivia Scorekeeper
About: IRL employee for the state of New Jersey. Philadelphia sports are my passion. If I could be anywhere it’d probably be an Eagles tailgate. One of my hobbies outside of NFTs is collecting/selling/flipping sports cards. November 2021 is when I started this journey in this space and I couldn’t be happier about it. As a true OG in Coffee Club (Day 1) I cannot wait to see where we can take this thing.

Kings, Cleveland Browns, and Cleveland Guardians. My dream vacation is an Australian cruise. I’ve been investing in crypto since early 2021. I’ve recently sold all my coins and am all in on NFT’s. I’m part of the Day 1 Coffee Club fam and am always looking to expand my graveyard!

About: Aloha everyone! IRL I am proudly serving in the U.S. Military and have been in for 5 years now! I have been in the Crypto space for about 6 months and the CoffeeClub is the first NFT community that I luckily stumbled upon. Although I’m pretty fresh into the NFT space I’ve met some amazing people and every day I am excited to learn and put my best foot forward! In my free time I’m usually spending it with my wife and 2 boys. I dabble in a little art here and there but nothing serious. I am a hardcore GB Packers fan Go Pack Go! I feel very lucky to be a part of the CoffeeClub and will never stop working hard for the amazing community we have! Mahalo guys!

Relatively new to Crypto and Web3 who is eager to dive in. If I am not online I am most likely trying to perfect the best cup of coffee or sitting on Main Street in Disney World

Community AMA Questions:

Q: Can we lower the royalties from 10%?

On 4/18/22 we lowered our creator royalties from 10% down to 4.5%.

Q: How far along is staking?

As stated in Coffee Break Time #1, the frontend UI is complete, and our sights are still set on releasing in Q2 of this year! Java encountered a minor issue with the staking contract and is tirelessly working on resolving it with the help of 2 fellow developers. Here’s a preview of the frontend:

Q: Why are all the funds still in the creator address? (0xFdbFc57c3e5Ec7cFC4fc437b2601391B82fBA541)

Since we aren’t a doxxed team, we decided that leaving the funds in the creator address would show some dedication and transparency. All funds out have been used strictly on floor sweeps and Barista wages.

Q: Did you donate 10% of your secondary royalties yet?

We reached out to the Rainforest Alliance for their Ethereum address, but still haven’t received a response. If they don’t reply by the end of this week, the community will get the opportunity to help us decide which charitable fund we send it to!

OpenTee Partnership:

We would like to officially announce our partnership with OpenTee!

They are in the process of implementing a store front for us on their website that should eventually be hosted on our own site as well.

T-shirts will be available for purchase as soon as next week for $23.99 + S&H, with mugs following closely behind. Ethereum is the only payment option available right now, with more options being added soon.

I would like to personally thank the OpenTee team for all they are doing for us, and helping bring the Coffee Club into the real world and Metaverse.

Make sure to check them out @ https://www.opentee.io/

Closing Notes:

Gm everyone! Java here.

The team would like to thank you all for your continued support and patience while we build and grow. Good things come to those who wait, and we are just getting started!

As always, a formal shoutout is needed for all the hard work the moderators and community have done within the Coffee Club, we appreciate you deeply, and couldn’t do this without ya’ll.

Stay tuned for Coffee Break Time #3!
