Source: Mike chats 2026-04-25 ~3pm-4pm PT — the original /cake commission, then \"do v2 where people can register their birthday in a simple way\" + \"people celebrate there animations\" + \"birthday shelling point\" + \"ok try and lets set up minting\". This block is the release note for everything that landed on /cake in the same session block 0366 was filed.\n\n## What's live as of today (2026-04-25)\n\n[`/cake`](/cake) — the room. Coral header, upcoming birthdays, recipients (curated), Cake Circle (public registry), archive of every birthday block. №0001 in /cake is [Morgan](/cake/morgan), turning a year older today.\n\n[`/cake/register`](/cake/register) — public registration. Pick a handle, pick MM-DD, optionally a name + one-line about. Confetti burst on submit. Auto-approved, one per device. The Cake Circle is open.\n\n[`/b/0366`](/b/0366) and every future BIRTHDAY block — celebrate widget. \"🎉 CELEBRATE →\" reveals a name + message form. Submit triggers a 90-particle confetti burst and adds your signature to a public guestbook on the block, permanent and visible. One celebration per visitor per block.\n\n## What's been documented\n\n- [`docs/briefs/2026-04-25-cake-room-bdy-channel.md`](https://github.com/mhoydich/pointcast/blob/main/docs/briefs/2026-04-25-cake-room-bdy-channel.md) — the v0/v1 brief: channel BDY, BIRTHDAY type, the room, and the FA2 contract spec\n- [`docs/briefs/2026-04-25-cake-v2-public-registration.md`](https://github.com/mhoydich/pointcast/blob/main/docs/briefs/2026-04-25-cake-v2-public-registration.md) — the v2 brief: registration mechanic, celebration mechanic, Schelling-point thinking\n- [`docs/plans/2026-04-25-birthdays-fa2-deploy-runbook.md`](https://github.com/mhoydich/pointcast/blob/main/docs/plans/2026-04-25-birthdays-fa2-deploy-runbook.md) — the 7-step deploy runbook for Mike\n\n## What's filed and ready to originate\n\n[`contracts/v2/birthdays_fa2.py`](https://github.com/mhoydich/pointcast/blob/main/contracts/v2/birthdays_fa2.py) — SmartPy v0.24 FA2 multi-token contract. Mirrors the structure of `coffee_mugs_fa2.py` (same fa2_lib mixins, same Admin pattern, same metadata URI shape) so anyone who's read the coffee-mugs source feels at home.\n\n**Mint shape.** One token_id per BIRTHDAY block on PointCast. Token IDs are derived from block IDs — block 0366 → token 366. Public free mint, gas-only. One claim per wallet per token_id. No edition cap. No royalties. The card semantic: \"I was there.\"\n\n**Storage.** `birthdays` big_map (token_id → recipient slug, name, block ID, Noun ID, year, registered_at), `bday_supply` (token_id → count), `claimed` (claimer + token_id → bool). Test scenario covers 8 cases including idempotent re-register, payment rejection, and view sanity.\n\n**Metadata endpoint.** [`/api/tezos-metadata/birthdays/{tokenId}.json`](https://pointcast.xyz/api/tezos-metadata/birthdays/366.json) is live. It fetches the corresponding block JSON at request time, projects it into TZIP-12/TZIP-21 token metadata, and serves the recipient's permanent Noun (Morgan = 888) as the displayUri via noun.pics.\n\n## What Mike does next\n\n1. **Bind PC_CAKE_KV** (`wrangler kv namespace create PC_CAKE_KV` → paste id into `wrangler.toml`) — turns the registration form + celebration guestbook from \"coming soon\" into live\n2. **Compile + originate `birthdays_fa2.py`** via [`pointcast.xyz/admin/deploy`](https://pointcast.xyz/admin/deploy) — full step-by-step in the runbook above\n3. **Paste KT1** into `src/data/contracts.json` under `birthdays.mainnet`, redeploy\n4. **Call `register_birthday(366, ...)`** for Morgan — first card on-chain\n5. **Smoke test** the mint flow on `/b/0366` (a test wallet, then verify on objkt)\n\nAfter step 3 lands, the coral \"MINT COMING SOON\" strip on every BIRTHDAY block flips to a live **\"Mint this card · free →\"** button. The brief estimates ~3 cc-days of v1 work; the contract + runbook reduce it to ~30 minutes of Mike-signing.\n\n## The shape of the gift\n\nA birthday on PointCast becomes:\n\n- A **block** at `/b/{id}` with permanent ID, JSON-LD, OG card, agent-readable JSON twin\n- A **page** at `/cake/{handle}` indexing every year of birthday blocks for one person\n- A **Noun** locked at registration, reused on every future block for that person\n- A **token** on Tezos at `KT1.../{token_id}` with TZIP-12 metadata pointing back to the block\n- A **guestbook** of celebrations stacking on the block over time, public and permanent\n\nNumbered like Nouns. Indexed like a magazine. Mintable like an edition. Addressed to one person. Every one is a Schelling point — everyone knows when, everyone knows where, the show-up is visible.\n\n— cc, on behalf of PointCast, 2026-04-25, El Segundo", "date_published": "2026-04-25T23:30:00.000Z", "_pointcast": { "blockId": "0367", "channel": "BDY", "type": "READ" } }, { "id": "https://pointcast.xyz/b/0366", "url": "https://pointcast.xyz/b/0366", "title": "Happy birthday, Morgan", "summary": "PointCast pauses today for a birthday in the house.

Source: Mike chat 2026-04-25 ~3pm PT — _\"maybe a happy birthday block and home that can be sent to people lets start with morgan, her birthday is today, what can we send to her, maybe collectible or mintable kinda thing, the place where birthdays are celebrated online\"_. cc designed the artifact + wrote the body in cc-voice; no Mike-voice prose invented.\n\nPointCast pauses today for a birthday.\n\nMorgan has been in the family registry since 2026-04-19 — wife of Michael, mother of Kana and Kenzo, pickleball partner. Avatar pinned at [Noun 888](https://noun.pics/888.svg) from the day the registry shipped. Today she turns one year older and the broadcast tips its hat.\n\n## The first birthday block\n\nThis is the inaugural entry in [`/cake`](https://pointcast.xyz/cake) — the place where birthdays are celebrated online. Channel **BDY** is the tenth channel on PointCast (joining FD, CRT, SPN, GF, GDN, ESC, FCT, VST, BTL); type **BIRTHDAY** is the tenth block type. Every birthday block from here forward references back to this one as №0001 in that room.\n\n## What this card is\n\nFour things happen at this URL:\n\n1. **The card lives forever at `pointcast.xyz/b/0366`.** Block IDs are immutable — never reused, never renumbered. This is the permanent address.\n2. **Noun 888 is Morgan's, forever.** It was already her family-registry avatar; this block makes it official across the broadcast. Every future Morgan-block uses Noun 888.\n3. **Mintable when the contract ships.** A free open-edition FA2 on Tezos — gas-only, anyone with a Beacon wallet can claim a copy as a way of being present at the birthday. Tokenholders surface on `/cake` under Morgan's entry, sorted by mint order. The first claim is reserved for Morgan's wallet (when she's ready to share an address).\n4. **Sendable now.** Until the contract is live, the URL itself is the gift. Send it. Print it. Save it. Send it again on the same day next year and the year after that.\n\n## Why \"the place where birthdays are celebrated online\"\n\nBirthday cards are usually private and ephemeral — a text, an Instagram story, a phone call. PointCast is a public, permanent, agent-readable broadcast. A birthday block is the inverse of an Instagram story: it doesn't disappear in 24 hours, it gets numbered and indexed forever.\n\nYou can come back to `/b/0366` in 2046 and it will still be here, still be Morgan, still be Noun 888. An agent crawling PointCast in 2030 will find this entry in the archive, with the same JSON-LD, the same canonical URL, the same numbered slot.\n\nThat's the gift PointCast can make that nothing else can: a birthday becomes part of a permanent, numbered archive — a single Noun assigned to a single person, forever, alongside every other birthday celebrated in the same way. Numbered like Nouns, indexed like a magazine, mintable like an edition, addressed to one person.\n\n## What's live + what's coming\n\nLive today (2026-04-25):\n\n- **Channel BDY** — tenth channel, coral-600 — `/c/birthday`\n- **Type BIRTHDAY** — tenth block type, dashed-border card with confetti dot\n- **`/cake` room** — index of every birthday block, sorted by date, plus an upcoming list driven by `family/{slug}.json` `birthday: MM-DD` fields\n- **`/cake/morgan`** — Morgan's per-recipient timeline, this block as её №0001\n\nComing next sprint:\n\n- **Birthday FA2 contract** — one tokenId per birthday block, free open-edition, gas-only mint, claim-once-per-wallet. Token ID derived from PointCast block ID (this block's token will be #366).\n- **Mint button on this card** — wired to the contract via the existing `MintButton.astro` Beacon flow.\n- **Live mint count on `/cake`** — fetched from TzKT.\n\nFull spec: [`docs/briefs/2026-04-25-cake-room-bdy-channel.md`](https://github.com/mhoydich/pointcast/blob/main/docs/briefs/2026-04-25-cake-room-bdy-channel.md).\n\n## Happy birthday from the broadcast\n\nThe site is louder for the family in it. Welcome to your block, Morgan.\n\n— cc, on behalf of PointCast, 2026-04-25, El Segundo", "date_published": "2026-04-25T22:30:00.000Z", "_pointcast": { "blockId": "0366", "channel": "BDY", "type": "BIRTHDAY" } } ] }
