FINE ART ON BITCOIN.

[Val @valerioshi]

WHY OMB IS THE CRYPTOPUNKS OF BITCOIN

- Launched March 12, 2023. One of the earliest major collections after Casey Rodarmor dropped the Ordinals protocol in January 2023.

- Created by ZK Shark. OGs may remember zk as the ex-Wall Street alpha hunter who left DeGods. He teamed up with irl artist Tony Tafuro and rare-sats hunter/developer Nullish. With Nullish, they helped establish the narrative that art belongs on Bitcoin, as well as the value of rare sats.

- Every OMB is a true 1/1 hand-drawn sketch. There's real value and proof of work in non-generative art. Black-and-white backdrops against Bitcoin-maximalist traits with color eyes feature historical moments, ₿ symbols, slogans like “Not your keys, not your crypto”, and more. There are also prized traits like miners, shadows, zombies, and hoodies. It's one of those rare collections where there's something for everyone, and you can browse it for hours and always find something new.

- Eye-color traits are on-chain and tied to historic Bitcoin blocks. Green eyes are on Block 9 sats (mined by Satoshi), and Blue eyes are on Block 78 sats (mined by Hal Finney). They've been inscribed on the rarest early sats, and are the first artworks ever inscribed on Block 9 and Block 78 sats.

- First Bitcoin Ordinals auction in Christie’s history (April 2024). Four primary-market lots curated by ZK Shark were sold for $730,800. It marked the first time the auction house ever sold Bitcoin inscriptions.

- Fast numbers. Supply: 8,898. Held by 5,115 owners. Total volume: 2,381.94 BTC 🤯

- OMB isn't a community. It's been described as a cult and as a movement. Its official slogan, “OMB Cannot Be Stopped," has proven accurate. Holders still pfp their OMB, and many collectors are still proud of what they're holding, which is rare, considering everyone is down bad. But OMB isn't focused on price action, since it works on a cultural level, and its holders are delusionally optimistic about Bitcoin's future, and many holders' core values also align with the Bitcoin ethos.

- Campaigns burned not 1 but 2 CryptoPunks. To show the world that CryptoPunks should live on the god chain, two campaigns in the early days teleburned CryptoPunks and fractionalized them for all participants. The result was a ton of pearl clutching from the punk community, and the campaigns garnered major media coverage.

- Not another art project. Despite what zk wants you to think, OMB is more than an art project. zk helped popularize solo miners and started sending them out to holders to mine Bitcoin. Then he launched Parasite Pool. OMB has also taken out a two-page ad on the New York Times, and has sent out an art book to collectors as well.

- Antifragile. One of the only Ordinals collections repeatedly called “the grail JPEG collection on Bitcoin” by OGs. Positioned as the ideological cornerstone of Bitcoin digital art.

I'm sure I'm not covering everything here. You could write a book about OMB and the early Ordinals period. I've collected dozens of Ordinals collections since then, and OMB still remains my favorite.

Wdyt? Does OMB live up to its reputation?

WHY YOU SHOULD MINE BTC ON PARASITE POOL 🧠
(Bookmark this 🔖)

1. Zero fees (0% pool fee)
You keep 100% of the block rewards. Traditional pools charge 1% to 4%. Parasite takes nothing.

2. Hybrid payout model
When the pool finds a block (~3.125 BTC + fees), the miner that solved it gets a full 1 BTC immediately. The remaining rewards are distributed to the rest of the miners depending on hash power contributed. In other words, it stays true to its slogan "Plebs eat first."

3. Designed for home miners and BitAxes ⛏️
It’s explicitly built for plebs and hobbyists to combat industrial mining. A small hash rate still gives you meaningful upside.

4. Parasite isn't slowing down
The pool has found 2 blocks so far. (The second one was found after ~48 days), and it's still early days. It's also been able to sustain its hash rate between blocks, with surges during special events, proving that the incentive scheme works.

5. Fun cult energy ☢️☢️☢️
The brainchild of @ZK_shark, Parasite Pool has attracted not only Ordinals collectors but hobbyists and small miners as well. Folks who have never heard of Ordinals are gaining exposure to it. The main Ordinals collectors participating in Parasite are Ordinal Maxi Biz holders (also started by zk). Special events like the Memorial Day Block Party are hosted by miner participants.

6. Win a Bravocado 🥑
If you hit 10T difficulty with your miner/s, then you gain an achievement in the Achievements section. You also win a Bitcoin Bravocado. (The last one sold for 0.05 BTC.) You can sell yours or keep it as a memento.

7. Same pool, new features 🔌
Parasite Pool has come a long way since its early days. Now it has the Achievements section and a Refinery. The Refinery lets you rent hash power directly from Parasite, instead of having to go third party. If you don't have a miner but still want to participate, you can do so via the Refinery. Lastly, easy Lightning/Xverse wallet integration makes joining a no-brainer.

Interested in mining? DM me for a solo miner and I'll help you get set up 🫡

You can now trade multiple inscriptions together as a single LOT on ◉RD.

Included inscriptions cannot be listed individually and must be bought together.

We're joining the Parasite Pool block party 🦠⛏️

40% of the trading fees from OMB and Bravocado sales on ◉RD will be used for renting hash through Parasite Pool Refinery until the end of June.

One of the trickiest parts of ◉RD's self-custodial PSBT sale design was making it work with Ledger.

Most platforms fall back to inferior designs.

But we got it working by registering a passthrough Miniscript policy directly on Ledger.
