Big news, Bitcoiners
We just dropped a Mempool Watch on the Apple App Store!
The first-ever Mempool app for Apple Watch, featuring a random OctoGlyph swimming through Bitcoin’s blockchain!
Free to download, for now....

We have acquired a Bitcoin Shroom for the Bitcoin Art Society permanent collection.
The significance of a work is not determined by the moment in which it is collected, but by the place it ultimately occupies in cultural memory.
The Shroom now has a place in ours.
A message from the founders:
Three years ago, something special happened on Bitcoin. The Ordinals protocol made it possible to create and trade digital assets with the permanence of storing data truly on-chain.
About 1 month after Ordinals went live, we launched OrdinalsBot as the first-ever inscription service on Bitcoin. We have been here since the start.
In these 3 years, we have achieved many great things and met amazing, like-minded people looking to bring new use cases to the mother chain and create a robust fee market.
Some things of note include helping countless people inscribe art and data on Bitcoin for the first time. The first BRC-20 token, ORDI, launched on our platform. We flawlessly deployed the Runestones airdrop, the largest (at the time) airdrop on Bitcoin to 112k addresses. We tokenized the Project Spartacus movement for Julian Assange, music for Ghostface Killah, art metadata for Michelangelo sculptures, and many more. We shipped rare sats tooling, a marketplace, and an ordinals launchpad. We were the main users of Mara's Slipstream service and inscribed most of the largest files on Bitcoin through them.
We are proud of what we built and would like to take this time to thank all of the people who built it with us.
That brings us to today. Unfortunately, the Ordinals market has contracted sharply over the past year. We tried everything from restructuring to pivoting, but sustaining the business is no longer viable.
We have, however, had interest in acquiring the OrdinalsBot brand, IP and assets. So, rather than let things drift, we have made the tough decision to wind down the company and put the full asset stack up for sale through an open, competitive process.
This includes the already established brand, all IP, domains, social accounts, Discord, GitHub, and 3+ years of R&D across over 90 code repositories. For any team looking to build on Bitcoin, acquiring this fully established infrastructure provides an immediate, battle-tested head start, potentially saving years of development from scratch.
We have already updated investors and have started receiving bids. If you are interested, or know someone who is, you can DM this account for the full information on how to bid.
Please be careful of anyone contacting you about this process. The only official contacts are @tobynovum and @bruffstar. If in doubt, DM them directly.
We will share more updates on this transition process as it unfolds.
Thank you again to our incredible community and users for building the future of Bitcoin with us.
@thsottiaux Couple of reasons
1) availability of credits for start up companies
2) shorter responses (or at least a short one paragraph summary of each response)
Regardless, i still use Sol and it is great, but the above would be the things to make me swap them out completely.
keep it up
Seeing a lot of timeline FUD about Bitcoin collections expanding to new chains. Let’s be real: staying in a silo isn't a badge of honour, it's a ceiling.
The premium assets stay on Bitcoin, but expanding to a massive retail audience is how you bring in the next wave.
A brilliant artist I know from Ordinals @sunken0x is dropping Audiomaps an interesting body of work.
It’s a generative on-chain art project on eth that focuses on sound-on-chain work.
The concept treats data from the Ethereum blockchain as musical scores, turning wallets, transactions, blocks, contracts, hashes, and ENS names into unique, audio-visual pieces.
Blooming holders will get spots to mint this.
this is the beginning of the new shin arc
just a few of the hits I’ve had at @realcookhouse and @taprootalpha - some of the bigger ones aren’t even shown here.
support me and I’ll support you. that simple.
people who’ve known me for 5+ years in this space can vouch for that.
