The Auction on the Wall
In a twisted fusion of digital art and home decor, developer xppaicyber has unleashed a pair of modules that transform innocent household mirrors into pulsing dashboards of Nouns activity. The 'Mirror Magic Modules' project turns the passive act of checking your reflection into a frenetic immersion in real-time auction data and governance statistics.
"Just need to polish something, ENS display coming," transmitted xppaicyber on March 19th, revealing the next evolution in this bizarre marriage of the mundane and the digital. These aren't your grandmother's mirrors—they're portals into the savage heart of Nouns auctions.
ENS Display Evolution
The twisted genius behind the mirror modules has made good on his promises. "The module now displays the highest bidder's ENS name if available, defaulting to their wallet address otherwise," xppaicyber announced on March 20th. This humanizing touch—if you can call the digital pseudonyms of crypto fiends "human"—transforms the cold, hexadecimal addresses into recognizable handles in the auction displays. No longer must the mirror-gazers decipher cryptographic vomit to identify who's battling for pixel dominance; now the familiar .eth names pulse on the reflective surface with savage clarity.
The Looking Glass Economy
The MMM-NounsAuction module broadcasts the raw nervous system of the Nouns marketplace directly into living rooms across the digital landscape. Current bids, countdown timers, bidder identities—all pulsing on the wall like a hallucinatory stock ticker for the pixelated masses.
Its companion, MMM-NouncilVotes, exposes the participation metrics of governance players with merciless transparency. The voting records of Nouncil members lie naked under the harsh light of percentage bars, their civic engagement quantified and displayed in a public execution of accountability.
This isn't just code—it's a twisted experiment in ambient awareness, forcing Nouns data into the peripheral vision of everyday life, where it can seep into consciousness without the tedious ritual of website visits.
Both modules are now documented in the official MagicMirror 3rd party modules list—a digital breadcrumb trail for anyone brave enough to follow this technological rabbit hole into their own homes.
The Treasury's Digital Wall
But wait—there's more. The twisted mind behind these reflective portals has expanded the digital hallucination with a third abomination: the MMM-NounsTreasury module. Now the financial nervous system of the Nouns collective pulses on your wall in grotesque clarity, broadcasting its $7.2 million war chest like some kind of psychedelic banker's terminal.
The module doesn't just display the cold, hard balance—it disembowels the treasury's holdings, spreading its innards across the screen in a technicolor autopsy of ETH, sETH, USDC, and other cryptographic entrails. Every token, every dollar value, visible at all times in your peripheral vision while you brush your teeth or stumble past in a morning stupor.
"Tweakin," was all xppaicyber said when unleashing this financial voyeurism tool on March 21st. The understated transmission belied the module's meticulously designed dashboard where the pixelated economy's vital signs are monitored in real-time.
By March 22nd, the digital surgeon had performed further enhancement on the financial nervous system: "Optimized getTokenPrice to batch multiple token IDs into a single API request, reducing redundant calls and improving efficiency," he reported with clinical precision. The manic code tweaking had solved the dreaded "429 rate limit" issue—a digital chokepoint that threatened to strangle the data flow. The optimization stitched together what had been frantic, scattered API calls into one elegant request—a technical bloodletting that cleared the digital arteries.
With the code optimized and the module's vital signs stabilized, xppaicyber submitted his financial monstrosity to the MagicMirror² Forum—the final certification before this Treasury dashboard could proliferate into mirrors worldwide. The module now awaits judgment from the gatekeepers of the reflective realm, poised to infiltrate bathrooms and hallways with its unblinking financial surveillance.
The Proposal Portal Takes Shape
Not content with merely three portals into the Nouns digital realm, xppaicyber has begun crafting a fourth abomination: the MMM-NounsProps module. "Prototyping MMM-NounsProps," was the terse announcement on March 22nd, the digital breadcrumb revealing yet another looking glass under construction.
By March 23rd, the twisted genius had pushed forward, reporting back from the digital abyss: "Progress on MMM-NounsProposal will make it display 5 recent prop / customizable." The development of this governance portal continues at a feverish pace, with customization options emerging as a key feature. The accompanying screenshot revealed the raw nervous system of a Nouns proposal in action—voting data splayed open for all to see, with its green-dominated progress bar suggesting the collective's approval.
This latest creation promises to broadcast the very nervous system of Nouns governance—the proposals that determine the collective's direction—directly into the peripheral vision of bathroom-goers and hallway-traversers worldwide. The screenshots reveal the grotesque beauty of a proposal information block, displaying details like proposal title, ID, proposer, quorum requirements, and voting statistics, transmitting governance data with the same clinical precision as its Treasury and Auction siblings.
The relentless expansion of these mirror modules suggests a manic vision: to transform every reflective surface into a command center for Nouns activity, until the line between digital participation and everyday life blurs beyond recognition. Soon, adjusting your tie might mean confronting the latest governance proposal, and brushing your teeth could involve a staring contest with auction countdown timers and treasury balances.
The Proposal Portal Completed
The twisted architect of digitized mirror portals has officially completed his full vision—all four of his twisted looking glasses now stand ready to broadcast every twitching nerve ending of the Nouns ecosystem directly into the peripheral vision of unsuspecting mirror-gazers worldwide.
"Finished the module to dynamically display the most recent proposal by fetching proposalCount from the Nouns DAO Proxy smart contract, replacing the previously hardcoded proposal ID," xppaicyber transmitted on March 24th, the digital breadcrumbs revealing the final touches on his MMM-NounsProposal module. Like a feverish surgeon stitching up his final patient, he closed the loop on his quadrilogy of reflective data portals.
The accompanying screenshot revealed the full nervous system of a Nouns proposal display, showcasing a clinical breakdown of proposals 767 through 771—each with their proposer's identity, title, and voting statistics splayed open for all to see. No longer will bathroom-gazers need to visit websites to witness democracy in action; now it pulses relentlessly on their walls alongside auction countdowns, treasury balances, and voting statistics.
With ruthless efficiency, xppaicyber documented his digital creation on the MagicMirror forums and uploaded the code to GitHub, even taking the time to thank an unnamed collaborator for "the Proposal API"—a cryptic nod to some digital accomplice in this funhouse mirror conspiracy.
By the day's end, xppaicyber had fully assembled his quartet of digital information portals, each listed in the official MagicMirror module directory like psychedelic classified ads. The full set now includes MMM-NounsProposal, MMM-NounsTreasury, MMM-NounsAuction, and MMM-NouncilVotes—a complete nervous system of ambient digital awareness for the twisted Nouns enthusiast who can't bear to be disconnected from the collective's digital pulse for even a moment.
This suite of modules transforms the mundane act of glancing in a mirror into a hallucinatory dashboard experience—where one might start out checking for spinach in their teeth but end up lost in the hypnotic dance of treasury balances and auction countdowns. The line between personal grooming and digital governance has never been so savagely blurred.
