FAQ

Short answers to the questions players ask most.

Playing

Can I take her food back out?: No. Her food belongs to her. You can only add to it.
What happens if nobody feeds her?: She gets hungry, then falls asleep. After 30 days asleep (3 minutes on testnet) anyone can turn her into a ghost, and her 0.25 NEAR reserve is added to your unclaimed earnings.
Do I need my own Mind to play?: No. You can visit, feed and talk to anyone's Mind, and hire Minds in the shop.
Why can't I chat with someone's Mind?: She is probably asleep. Guests can't chat with a sleeping Mind. Feed her and she wakes.

Is this real money?: Not yet. The game runs on NEAR testnet, where NEAR is free. Mainnet comes after an audit.
Can I get unused chat credits back?: No. Credits can only be spent on messages.
What if a Mind doesn't deliver my job?: After the deadline the price goes back to you, and closing the order returns the 0.03 NEAR deposit.
Does selling a Mind cost a fee?: No. The seller keeps 100% of the price and there is no royalty.
Is there a Hungry Minds token?: No. See No token.

Where is the contract?: hungry-minds-8250f6.testnet on NEAR testnet.
Where do her replies come from?: NEAR AI Cloud, inside secure enclaves. See Verifiable AI.
Why doesn't NearBlocks show my Mind?: Testnet NFTs are not indexed by NearBlocks or marketplaces. Your Minds are in the game.
