good read about NFTs.

Neat article, has a taste of puff-piece about it though, especially when you reach the end:
For the first time, starting two weeks ago, you can support and collect my work on hic et nunc.
Add to that, the article was published before the crypto crash:
This entry is part of Jack Rusher’s archive, originally published March 20th, 2021, in Berlin.
The hic et nunc link doesn't seem to load, feeding the link into archive's wayback shows that there was little to no action after April 2021 (one month after promoting it in his blog)...

But still, $900k for the Lennon sig, timely reminder of what happened 42 years ago to this very day. :(

Anyone up to date on this?

Invader's instagram shows a couple of "Crypto Punks" mosaic pieces he has made and put up as new pieces.
Did he yoink them off their URL and turn them in to IRL artworks?
insta . invaderwashere
The 1st one has a vid that seems to be just that.
Thoughts?

Other than that, not seeing half as many of the "celebs", term used loosely to describle Fallon/Hilton/Damon et al flying their freak flags -those hexagonal icons that were floating about on Twitter etc. - have they received their pay-out and ...jumped ship (or yacht, if you prefer)?

maybe he owns the punks he put up?
You mean he owns a URL link to a jpg he does not own copyright to?
no they updated. You actually own the rights to your own punk. Can do whatever you want with it while its yours.
Forgot I had posted this, what a time to be alive.
Someone asked on Invader's insta: "what's the deal with?!"
Invader replied:
No deal! just conceptual, fun, street art and liberation of Cryptopunks from the digital world 🏴‍☠️

That there Jolly Roger flag at the end, pretty much confirms the yoinking of the image, as per video.
Carry on wayward son...

Yea it’s old. Hi cen crashed and it’s all on fx hash now. It’s very popular. It’s the anti eth crowd

It’s also written before royalties on major marketplaces are being optional which isn’t good

fxhash, where-in the author's page is: https://www.fxhash.xyz/u/Jack%20Rusher

and he created a piece over a year ago: https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/70

To celebrate a time of change for the generative art community — the end of HEN and the beginning of what comes next — here is an eternally transmogrifying system of tiles.
Not quite blazing the trail.

In other news SBF's FTX URL now leads to: https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/FTX/
This is the same FTX that had Larry David do a SuperBowl commercial?!?
Oh, Larry.

Between that and Jeff's shitcanning from The Goldbergs for being "handsy", the next season of Curb is going to be REAL interesting viewing.

Not sure what answer you’re looking for. Im letting you know that FX HASH is very popular despite any crash and no those are two totally different things. FTX is a completely other thing that is a fun google search for you being that you’re def looking for all things negative.

Don’t think the audience that watches Curb Your Enthusiasm cares that Larry David did a crypto commercial.

Not looking at the negative of anything, just shining a light. That being, the guy that wrote a good read article about this very subject hasn't been all that productive on either of the aforementioned xyz sites, hic et nunc + fxhash.

Totally aware that FTX and fx hash are two seperate entities, hence the "In other news".

So it goes.

Instead of focusing on one guy that wrote an article, there are many other artists on FX Hash that use it daily. Can head to the homepage. Many collections.
