Hundreds of SOL projects are being built quietly behind the scenes
Keep in mind, ETH didnโt come out of nowhere. It has value today thanks to quality applications built on itโฆ platforms like ENS, OpenSea, M*taMask, etc
2022 is the year Solana finally shows what itโs capable of
As I move towards wider availability of these display hats, I had to record an assembly video. If you're curious how a SeedSigner+ goes together, here's a look:

Artist collaborations arenโt new in the Ordinals space. Weโve seen it from two artists teaming up like @0xfar and @harto_fr on Buzz Buzz Buzz ๐ to three artists collaborating, as with Far, Harto, and BLE77.
And then weโve seen it scaled up to 21 artists, like @QuadrillionArt Perpetuals Vol. 1, where these artists made their Bitcoin debut.

Hopeful has been collecting The Artistโs work since 2023, building a deep connection over time. It reminds me of the bond between @Phteven_Nobody & @burst_cryptoart starting with collecting on Ethereum, then curating Burst on Bitcoin.
For Hopeful, The Artistโs work struck a chord. It made him reflect on his own past. Avoid Bright Lights especially stuck with him. He rocked the PFP for 19 months, learning from The Artist, growing that connection.
But the collection wasnโt minting out. So Hopeful thought:
โ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ธ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐ข? ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐?โ
And thatโs how Donโt Avoid Bright Lights was born. Named by Hopeful, it evolved from a collectorโs love into whatโs now the biggest collaboration on Ordinals ๐คฏwith over 80 artists participating.

It started with a spark: @Emilmto , the first artist Hopeful reached out to. Emilโs colorful description and tweets caught attention. Soon, artists were curious, asking questions, and jumping in.
Hopefulโs track record as a collaboration manager& artist supporter made it easier to connect.
On April 14th, I had the privilege of joining the private Discord, watching artists brainstorm, submit their work, and collaborate.
Itโs been surreal seeing this come together. From some artists submitting 4MB+ files, to @TheArtistBTC building an entire submission site, compressing files, sorting inscriptions, coordinating marketing.
To @trio_xyz stepping up, to cover inscription costs and showcase the collection at Trio House in Vegas.
The perks donโt stop there:
โฉArtists will also get 1/1 interviews during live spaces in Vegas
โฉProceeds will be equally shared among the artists
Over 80 submissions, from Bitcoin-native and IRL artists, creating a 5,000-supply collection, minting at $10โ$15 USD on 3rd June.

BREAKING: @256FOUNDATION officially releases the Ember One Source code to the public! ๐ฅ
The Ember One, Designed by @skot9000, is a revolutionary open source, 12-chip Bitcoin mining modular hashboard, with only 100 Watts of total power consumption!
More than just a BTC node, @umbrel makes it fun to run a #BTC node and pool. Furthermore, in my opinion, it's the perfect fallback pool strategy for a #Bitaxe โ completely self-hosted and self-sufficient.

You learn a lot about the systems, can dive even deeper and customize Umbrel, and expand your network storage in the form of a home cloud.
And there are so many apps waiting to be tested. Your first home server could become a reality with Umbrel.
As Bitcoin is adopted by and redistributed to new cohorts it can evolve in ways early adopters dislike, leaving them disillusioned.
The suitcoiners are here and they aren't driven by libertarian or cypherpunk ideals.
@sanjfomojis@rgXser The difference is you can run the ord indexer yourself.
Idk, there is something magical about reproducing your content locally from onchain data!
a lot of creators and artists donโt care what chain theyโre using to tokenize..
to me itโs the most important decision you can make
