Game: 🐈‍⬛ Army of Darkness: The Uprising

The cats are rising. The darkness is purring.

Welcome to the most epic, most purr-powered, and most shadow-infused game in the Autonomi universe!
We’re not talking about ordinary cats here. We’re building an Army of Darkness — a global feline uprising, assembled by players through the SAFE-FS web app, one photo at a time, whisker by whisker.

Your mission?
Find the most legendary cat, upload it via SAFE-FS to Autonomi, and gather as many likes of darkness as possible.


:video_game: How to Play

The game is played in weekly rounds.
Each round is a new chance, a new cat, and a new battle for feline dominance.

:paw_prints: 1. Upload Your Cat

  • Use the SAFE-FS web app to upload a photo of a cat.
  • It can be a cat from your neighborhood, a cat from the Amazon, a cat from the Moon (if you manage to photograph it) — any cat, as long as it looks worthy of joining the Army of Darkness.

:heart: 2. Collect Likes

  • Every uploaded cat can be liked by the community.
  • Likes are your feline power.
  • The cat with the most likes at the end of the week wins.

:trophy: Rewards

At the end of each round:

  • The cat with the highest number of likes wins 100 ANT, sent to a SAFE-FS address.
  • If there is a tie, the prize is divided equally, as any fair purring chaos would demand.

:scroll: Rules of Darkness

  • A player may upload unlimited cats, but remember — only one can rule the darkness each week.
  • Cats must be real photos (no memes, no AI-generated cats, no angry swearing feline overlords).
  • Self-liking through 200 fake accounts is forbidden. The darkness sees everything, even more than the forum moderators.
  • The reward SAFE-FS address will be generated by me and sent to the weekly winner via private message (preferably not a dog owner :wink: ).

:new_moon: Are You Ready?

The Army of Darkness is awakening.
Your cat could become its general.

Let the purring begin. :black_cat::fire:

I may actually pimp one of my twelve or so. Finally they’ll be doing something other than eat-poop-sleep.

One of the things I want to test with this game is creating several wallets in the web app, loading them with ANT, and giving them to friends to try the game. I want to see what problems people might have.

Later, when the network is more developed, I’d like to do the same with an influencer who could distribute game addresses to their followers.

My question, @whiteout2 is: do you plan to add the ability to withdraw ANT to other addresses at some point? This would affect my idea, because if withdrawals are possible, I won’t know where the ANT will end up and it might cause issues.

Hi….do you know anything about the DaCat project by “I THE REAL RANDY CHAVEZ” who is a YouTuber associated with VeVe Digital collectables? Can I also ask you what’s the affect quantum computers will have on the Safe Network? I have been seeing lots of mentions about it being a danger to Bitcoin. Any help would be much appreciated….cheers!

@AyrBlues there’s multiple facets to this …

  1. self encryption

→ quantum-proof … simply because you won’t know/have the relevant chunks … you cannot decrypt if you don’t know what you want to decrypt …

  1. public-private-key datatypes (GraphEntry, Scratchpad Pointer) based on BLS

→ not quantum proof (you could get the private key to create/modify them via a quantum computer of sufficient power possibly at some point)

  1. ANT → anything ethereum-based

→ not quantum proof (same as 2.)

i was in a talk by the development leader of IBM in the field of quantum computers not long ago; seems like they’re confident they’ll get useful quantum computers pretty soon (100-200 error corrected qbits within the next 10 years).

In their estimate they’re just crossing the border of quantum computers becoming more useful for (very few specialized) tasks than regular computing power.

the trick here is that they have limited qbit lengths to calculate … (and to ensure error detection/correction for longer and longer bit lengths gets exponentially more expensive/difficult <<< that’s an estimation by myself and I didn’t check ;D )

only because they have a error corrected quantum computer with multiple qbits doesn’t mean anybody is able to crack bitcoin/ethereum … it will still take a while until they manage to get to the needed size … but yes it looks like the days for public-private-key schemes to be considered “secure” are numbered now … I wouldn’t expect anything to happen within the next 10 years … but for the next 25-50 I wouldn’t want to bet I guess …


… for all projects out there upgrades to quantum secure algorithms can be made when it’s time for it I guess or you could use quantum secure encryption client side within your data structures … in that case you’d basically drop back to using

  1. self encrypted chunks
  2. existing graphEntries (cannot be changed anymore so it’s irrelevant that you could get to the private key to write them)
