Welcome

Hi all, it's been a long time. I just realized that the last post I wrote was a year ago, so I want to explain the reason for my low activity and what has been happening with the market during that time.

It was a pretty hard year for me. I have two boys: one is almost 4 years old and the other is 1.5 years old. Small children are quite challenging, especially the younger one, who has gained mobility but not yet the brain cells to predict the consequences of running straight ahead without hesitation 🤣

I am also in the process of building my house while still working a full-time job. I delegated some tasks to experts (though sometimes “expert” is too generous a word), but I'm doing others myself to save money.

The exterior of the house is mostly done, but I still have a lot of work to do inside:

That's why I haven't had enough time to make any major improvements over the last year.

I thought about creating some blog posts to document the whole building process, but for now, I don't have enough time.
If you're interested in how the house-building process looks in Poland, let me know. I have many more pictures and can answer any questions, and maybe that would motivate me 😁

Market condition for the last year

The market has remained operational all this time. I put in only minimal effort to keep it alive for you. I was a bit late adding the new set Conclave Arcana, so for the last couple of days, the “Cards grouped by lvl” list was empty, and users had to use “Cards grouped.”

Nonetheless, all paybacks made through my market UI or via external applications were processed correctly.

New refreshed UI

I decided to put some effort into refreshing the UI a little. It's more evolution than revolution, but I think it looks better than the old version.

My goal is to improve the user experience, especially on mobile devices. The work isn't done yet—this is just a starting point—so expect more improvements.

New Conclave Arcana Set

I've finally added the new Conclave Arcana set to my market, so you can use these new shiny foil filters.

It required me to redesign many parts of my code to adapt to the new foil values.

There are still a couple of things to do (like displaying the unique numbers of the new foil cards), so I'll try to handle them soon.

Whats next

So for the next couple of months I have a lot of plans and ideas (but just a little time 😄).

It would help me prioritize if you share your thoughts.

This is the list of tasks to do:

• further UI improvements — especially for mobile users

• remove “Withdraw” button and switch to auto-withdrawing paybacks after reaching 1 DEC (it's currently 500 DEC, but you can use the button whenever you want)

• add a global search button — I'd rather not say too much; it should be a surprise for you

• add SPS rental feature

• add Lands

• move Soulkeep to separate views — Soulkeep’s market seems pretty dead right now, but who knows what the future holds; I know at least one user keeps some items on the market 😉

Get Back 75% of the Market Fee

By utilizing the MonsterCards.store marketplace to purchase or rent cards and assets, you can reclaim 75% of the market fee.

Remember that irrespective of the marketplace you choose, the price you pay for buying or renting cards always includes a market fee.

So far, over 20 645 748 DEC has been returned to users through the payback system. For the current price of $0.0009737, it is worth over $20 102

Why not take advantage of this opportunity to get some money back?

In the meantime, I wish you the best of luck and have fun (GL&HF).
