Want to get into #Ordinals? Some tips
- Follow and read @rodarmor@pourteaux
- Set up electrum bitcoin wallet, and create a brand new, never expiring address for each ordinal you want to receive. Do NOT use a wallet with BTC in there or on an exchange.
1/
- Hunt for some new ordinal projects going on like @ordrocks@rcsaguyords.
- Most of the time the node operator/founder will create the ordinal and then sell OTC to community who are in a queue.
- There is no existing wallet or marketplace or exchange for ordinals yet
2/
- OTC is risky, so safest way is often to buy from the founder/node operator where others have confirmed a purchase.
- If buying a project which is already fully inscribed, then you need to buy on the secondary OTC marketplace. The discord will have a trading channel. Careful.
3/
- If lucky, like with @OrdinalPunks the founder/node operator may take payment and hold the ordinal in escrow for you to be able to sell on the discord's secondary OTC marketplace/trading channel
- Highest value is in the first 1000 inscriptions-closest to genesis. Find these
4/
When creating a new clean, never expiring wallet address in electrum make sure you select 'never' then 'create request'
for those new to ordinals, do NOT receive into a wallet containing existing sats/btc OR on an exchange. The ordinal will get mixed in with the sats there. We are waiting for an @ordinalswallet to be developed and usable.
make a completely new wallet if you want to receive another Ordinal to avoid mixing up the sats. Label the address with what's in there on electrum or whatever you're using.
Just me findings interesting inscriptions. *not sponsored, bag=0
- The first motion inscriptions on #BTC
- 3 chapters of 7 pieces each inspired by BTC, crypto, mathematics
- chapter 1 inscription range 452-641
- Love the artistic inspiration- “1st chapter called "Do Not Fiat" is a series observing the hostile FIAT environment in which Bitcoin has been born from the ashes of GFC. Such a contemporary landscape remains a living organism - loop,with other cryptocurrencies added over time.”
- “The coming iteration of 7 NFTs have a time progression with Object 0 being a circular donut of currency interaction. Over time, these objects are deciphered into abstraction [Object 1 to 5] and the rare 6th has the BTC logo demonstrating adversity against
government currency”
Just me hunting inscriptions.*not sponsored, bag=0
- the first photography collection im aware of inscribed on #BTC
- 30 photographic ordinals, preserving a unique view on nature and natural beauty.
1/
- Very different to whats on #BTC currently.
- Each piece has been compressed 99% from its original size
- All photographs have been inscripted between ordinal #2501 and #4230.
2/
- simply beautiful photos on chain
- founder @staincryption also has an ETH collection
- private sale has started, public sale opens 7pm UTC
Just me hunting inscriptions.*not sponsored, bag=0, I have an early role
- An inscription collection of “100 pioneers” who in 1849 went west and discovered a rick vein of Bitcoin, or so the Lore goes. 1/
- Art is unique and original. AI base, then heavy design edit.
- Not a derivative. Gold rush aesthetic is pretty culture-fitting I think.
- Tweeted by @rodarmor himself
- 5 inscriptions in the first 50 have BTC history easter eggs
- Rarity – miners, cowboys, panners, historical references, 1/1s
- Sale pending. Mint cost 0.01BTC/0.15ETH flat rate.
- 50 (within 3319-3485) inscriptions to be sold first, a second batch of 50 to be sold later
- Sub #1000 inscriptions are always going to be sought after. History.
- like many I bought a few inscriptions just to be close to that 1000 mark
- out of FOMO paid a lot for some, including on the controversial bonding curve
1/
- as we near #6000, with exponential increase in just 2 days, things will get bloated soon
- There are multiple quality projects (imo) inscribed later at 2K, 3K,4K and you can bet many more will come.
2/
- Equally it’s just takes a minute to scroll on the ordinal website to see that some early inscription collections may have some red flags(subjective)
- perhaps this means we shouldn’t be too wedded to inscription number
New #ordinals project - @timechainord
- inscriptions 355-377
- inspiration for the timepieces theme was @dergigi's Bitcoin is Time.
- 3 of the 21 are rare calendar stones
- team committed to giving away 6.15 (IYKYK) of the ordinals to the community (4 given so far)
/1
- this is apparently series 1 - "antique pocket watches, cyberpunk clocks, and other timepieces imagined from times past, present and future to represent BTC as the heartbeat of humanity."
2/
- "the only #inscription collection that includes a gpg signature with all digital artwork for provenance. This allows you to verify the authenticity of your art."
- there is no discord AFAIK
- no details about sale of the remaining 15 pieces 3/
Bag = 0. Keep an eye on @BitcoinShrooms#ordinals
- To me one of the most aesthetically pleasing early ordinal collections (yes they are all early atm)
- every single one has a bitcoin historical reference - personalities, events,
- 208/210 are within the first 1000 inscriptions
- the above ordinal is of Greg Maxwell, in 2011, Gregory Maxwell became part of the active team of bitcoin development. During this stage, he was interested in improving various cryptographic aspects of technology.
- have spent the past few days in the discord and very impressed by the creator, Shroomtoshi. Involved, transparent, and fair. Also as fun as this collection is.
- one of the most legit ordinal collection based communities around, very chill, as a shroom group should be
