incident are curious how we can trust an extension like yours, isn’t an extension just another vector that could fail for purposes of a hack? I appreciate your extension but would love to hear your response.
just had a blast helping out Art Blocks by test minting some Fake it Till You Make It to help with testing their new minter before it gets added to the Minter-Suite. Here are my test outputs:
In my research for my Bookend series I came upon an anon wallet w/ 12 (!!!) #1 mints for Curated Art Blocks collections. The #1s are Screens, Edifice, Skulptuur, Bubble Blobby, 27-Bit Digital, Autology, Act of Emotion, Frammenti, Para Bellum, Alan Ki Aankhen, & Dreams 👑
for allowing me be a collector and steward of "Synth Poems" #127, a foundational work of our generative art movement. We've both lived our lives building from scratch and working at the fundamental level. Your art manifests that ethos. I'm listening on repeat.
Quincy is putting in the work educating his fellow Solana brethren on generative art. 💪 If you have never been a collector or appreciator of generative art but were curious read his threads.👇
0/A thread on generative art for Solana audience #2. Continuing from last weekend thread on my journey and impression on gen art to welcome @code_canvas, this week let’s dive into more the specifics and what we call “long form”. More factual, more technical. Let's go.
People need to read this from Go West and consider, am I speculating? am I spending more than I would be willing to lose? For the art fans out there consider this: don’t buy something sometime and still post that it is great art. Be an art appreciatoooooor.
A note from Go West who is no longer on Twitter
The gambling addictions in this space are real. The lending markets play into it
The clichés like "only risk what you can afford" only hit home w the people who don't need to hear it
Worth a read

SCAM ALERT!
If you find this "reveal pass" token claiming it's by @punk6529 or @6529Collections, IT IS A SCAM.
DON'T click the link in the description, and DON'T try selling it or accept any offers on it. Treat it like an obviously radioactive raccoon: Don't touch!
In a perfect world people would be buying open editions solely for the art. But this isn’t a perfect world. Artists lose control over edition size with an open edition and therefore speculation can run amok. This can damage an artists brand with the community. Just be careful.
I don’t blame artists for wanting to capitalize on this open edition meta. But I would be very mindful when minting. Many folks are minting multiples of these in anticipation of financial gain. Good or bad decision they will look to you regardless for ultimate responsibility.
My meme card series is going to consist of 3000 word essays on emerging behavior in speculative digital assets. The last one will be a philosophical treatise on the moral hazards of issuing additional NFT supply when historical patterns show communities inevitably get rekt.
Clearly, the market is having a direct effect on digital art as it is traded so efficiently. This also means artists know what is being valued day to day. This seems like it has the potential to make people satisfied now but perhaps poorer long term for lack of conceptual depth.
With the direct access from artists to buyers w/in digital art nfts, will we simply see more & more of the pretty pictures that most regular folks seem to want & see less cerebral work that defined Modern Art. Was the move to concept forward work driven by the gatekeepers?
If you want to know how much people still need to learn about the history & landscape of AI art look at the responses to this thread. No shade on any of them, but most of the responses reference folks that are relatively new to the field. There is a whole history prior to dall-e.

Anyone know any respectable accountants that understand NFTs. I’m not a high frequency trader, I just want someone that can generally reconcile and understand the tax issues, is a professional and will communicate.
