Got my OpenClaw assistant, Greg, to build me a UI wrapper for discord on MacOS. Much better than the ChatGPT one! You can just build stuff. Triggered with a shortcut and press tab to switch channel :p
CENTS & Raster
We're honored that CENTS is the first Bitcoin project on Raster, which has proven to be the best gallery/marketplace interface for art on ETH/TEZ and is now broadening to Ordinals.
Why this matters:
CENTS has stood out in its capacity to bring collectors into Bitcoin Ordinals both from other chains, and from the broader art world. CENTS was the first Ordinal for numerous ETH collectors, including several punk minters who recognize early punk energy around this free mint that has grown into a strong community coming together around dissecting traits, sharing perspectives of cultural significance, and evangelizing the project to new eyes. CENTS has also brought Bitcoin Ordinals to China's leading contemporary arts institution, UCCA Beijing, where it's featured in a retrospective of Rutherford Chang's major works, to Art Basel through Arab Bank Switzerland, to Christie's. Being the first Bitcoin project on Raster represents the broader course of CENTS in widening the cultural awareness of art on Bitcoin not just to other chains, but to the fine art world, and the whole world. It is a project that embodies and enacts core gestures of blockchain's position in history and its transformation of value, and it continues to unfold in timelessness.
I’m convinced that the bug on X/Twitter that shows you posts when you first open the app and then refreshes with new posts a few seconds later isn’t a bug - it’s designed to make you want to scroll to find the post you were looking at. Engagement tactic disguised as annoying bug
no matter what happens
CENTS will remain one of the most powerful pieces of cryptoart there is
& already it's brought Ordinals into China's leading contemporary arts institution UCCA, into Taschen, into Bitcoin Magazine, into The Art Newspaper, into Arab Bank Switzerland's Art Basel show, into many new eyes on many new levels
& it's not stopping
@Zeneca You need a rescue agent that’s responsible for all config changes and gateway restarts. They will make sure to undo any bad config and get your bot up and running again every time 👍
dear CENTS collectors,
just heard from Satflow that they "don't have the capability" to include a royalty functionality AT ALL.
Enough is enough. If you care even a little bit about this project, about its presence in the world, its longevity, then move your old ME listings to @trygamma.
It's an important time with ME shutting down, and it matters what you do. It matters what place becomes the next hub for trading.
This was a free mint (1 sat for 1 Cent) and we've busted our assess for the last two mfing years to represent it and maintain it as it deserves, from the timeline, to the conferences, to the trait sites, to the community, to the museums.
The 2.5% isn't a lot, but it does mean a lot. I hope you can put yourself in our shoes and realize that it truly matters, especially at this critical time.
Please help to share this.
long live CENTS 👊
