@UltronMKII @Variety Stacks of receipts! STACKS!

the barriers to adoption are the very problematic institutions decentralization aims to resolve.

chicken-egg moment here
imho in the meantime, this is a perfect use case for shielded assets (ZSAs anyone?) #cypherpunk

When I dont know where my collectors come from I have to pay 19% VAT on all sales. They just get assumed to be German.

Ive tried to fight this but they wont budge.

Thinking of making a large gift edition to everyone who sends me their address.

@michaelmicasso right, but the interface design/creation is yours! very very cool.

if you put bread into a toaster it comes out as toast. its basically alchemy

[orb 🛡️ @ArtofOrb]

@UltronMKII why are you sharing secrets publicly
this coulda been a zec memo

[orb 🛡️ @ArtofOrb]

@UltronMKII Yes, and wait till they hear the truth about sliced bread!

The Great Thing™ about making art is something nobody will tell you:

🚨 YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT I DID LAST NIGHT HOLY SH*T!

we truly live in the age of subject-maxxing.

it's difficult for folks who have more than one interest and activity they partake in, to share everything from one account and get any sort of community engagement/growth.

i create installation art IRL, create generative runtime art on-chain, explore retro BBS & ASCII/ANSI art, write software, work on web infra as well as frontends, and have a love of illustrative art and music. if i share more than 1-2 things i do a day, the algo disappears my account 🤣

there are MANY artists and developers out there who have multiple interests and practices they pursue. the ones you've heard of the most, are most likely the ones who share one single facet of their work, and that's the brand you're seeing.

i can assure you that the multi-faceted personality that is actually them, is much more complicated and fascinating. creatives contain multitudes, but modern social networks + algorithms punish those that want to share their wholeness.

would be pretty cool if everybody (not just your 10 friends you talk to regularly) got back to sharing each other's work, and talking about other people's art and projects again. but i also understand the fatigue of it all.

here's one thing you can do that will help many individuals more than you know: share someone's post about something they created or are passionate about, if you think it's cool. it costs you nothing. it makes their day.

if you see this and actually read it, go share somebody's art! oh, and, i didn't do sh*t last night, except for catch up on some reading. good for the brain and the soul.

@Mehdalon @ADFIntl 100 years?! that's a generous prediction, pretty sure we can go for a shorter timespan, like next week 🤣

@zkDragon This is cool, but can we have a cooldown period for everybody to adjust between NUs?

Version churn is going to result in fragmentation, and even worse, fatigue for everyone.

[orb 🛡️ @ArtofOrb]

@mkuegi Love it.
Owe you a gh repo myself, will circle back asap!
