[Miguel Faus 🎥 CALLADITA FILM @miguelfaus]

LIGHTS. CAMERA. BLOCKCHAIN!

The talented duo @TheCultSeries have produced the ultimate documentary about CALLADITA, and how we made the first fiction movie ever funded by NFTs.

We. Together. As a Community of Degens.

Punks culture formed around Cryptopunks, which has a known definite public beginning on June 9th 2017. Before there were none, then there were Cryptopunks. The First Cause, or First Mover...they conditioned, well, everything in the NFT space today. And the community that formed around that nascent scene flowed into the next, and the next, and so on. It isn't two projects or communities, it's a two headed basilisk.

[Larva Labs @larvalabs]

In May 2021, twenty thousand generative sculptures launched into the world, each a fully rigged 3D file ready to be rendered, animated, and built upon.

We’ve always loved that Meebits can be visualized in so many ways over a variety of media. Five years on, we’re adding one more way: plotter files for every Meebit, each a set of vector drawing instructions for print or screen.

Signed prints from us will be available through @meebitsnfts.

Happy Birthday, Meebits!

Why did we write to ourselves?

And what does it mean now that the Tatami Room has opened? Let me explain the threads that connect Distant Summer Rain, the Tatami Room, and what’s coming next. 👇👇👇

[Midnight夏季Breeze @midnightbreezey]

The Tatami Room has opened.
100 travelers may enter.

Where timelines converge,
echoes linger,
and forgotten words wait to be found.

Step inside…
before the wind carries you away. 🍃

[Dutchtide.eth @dutchtide]

While much of this space sleeps , chasing coins, claiming culture while forgetting why they came here ,
I’ve been building.
Not for noise.

But for connection.

To remind you of that spark you felt when you first arrived here. That sense of wonder.
I’m doing this alone.
No publisher. No big names behind me.
Just me, trying to build something that matters.

And that matters because if I can do it, you can too.
This space was never meant to be about luck or permission. It was meant to be about showing up. Creating. Believing.

Tonight, I’m opening The Tatami Room.
Maybe it won’t be loud.
Maybe not everyone will understand.

But I’m stepping forward anyway.
Because that’s what artists do.

We build scared.
We build uncertain.
We build anyway.

So if you’ve been with me this far , walk a little further.
Check it out. Register. Bookmark. Comment. Engage.
Even the smallest gesture makes a difference.

See you tonight. 18:00 CET.
Link in bio.

Giving a good buddy punk mr @dutchtide a shout here for curating a fun interactive mint experience for @midnightbreezey.

The experience is called Distant Summer Rain and while it was gated to an initial 100 invited individuals, it is now open to public to partake.

- Free mint (soulbound token)
- Performance art onchain

"In one instance, a large rai being transported by canoe and outrigger was accidentally dropped and sank to the sea floor. Although it was never seen again, everyone agreed that the rai must still be there, so it continued to be transacted as any other stone."

@soby0x They make non-alc Sapporo, IPA, Wit, and other decent beer varieties that taste pretty good. There are even non-alc spirits now, like gin. They are great options for socializing.

[straybits ⌐◨-◨ @straybits]

I can absolutely empathize, there was no perfectly correct choice, and any choice would create "artifacting" that would eventually cause one problem of another. - I prefer to take the project as a whole, warts & all. It's a two headed basilisk; whichever way you look at it, it janks you in some way.

[straybits ⌐◨-◨ @straybits]

@songadaymann @Cryptopathic There was grumbling about it being onchain for sure, Mr703 rage quit because of it and didnt return until years later, taking almost 10% of the supply with him. It definitely shaped the v2 market. But most of us just had to accept it, though we did know the v1s were still there.

[straybits ⌐◨-◨ @straybits]

@songadaymann @Cryptopathic Well, not a wrapper, but a true escrow proxy contract. Wrappers weren't really a thing yet. I believe they didn't opt for the proxy because it would have cost more gas, or maybe that was just the assumption made (been a while).

[straybits ⌐◨-◨ @straybits]

@songadaymann @Cryptopathic I'd wanted a proxy contract (wrapper), and thought that was the only viable way forward.

[straybits ⌐◨-◨ @straybits]

@songadaymann @Cryptopathic The intent changed when they changed the project. v1 intent was different from the v2 intent w/bidding (and IP bolted on later off-chain).
