Anniversary interview with ciphrd

We recorded an amazing session with ciphrd in which we talk all things year one of fxhash, fx(params), live minting, and about the new consumable tokens. Take a listen, or read the transcript via fx(text).

Will has been slowly spending his tez windfall and is now the proud owner (again) of a Smol. For anyone looking to get into a gradient, #1680 was available near-ish the floor at the time of recording.

fx(anniversary) recap

It was the big anniversary week for fxhash, and the it was 365 ed., 1tz minting spree! The price points were like the beta days, but the mint mechanics (i.e., gas) were pure 1.0. We breakdown some of the gassiest projects in the table below (statistics courtesy of fxwho.xyz)

Projects and pieces discussed -

Annum

Annum

Podcast favorite Landlines may have had the biggest brain when it came to the anniversary event; 365 is a great symbolic number, but one that only allows a few to celebrate. By going big to 8760 editions, he was able to ensure that everyone who wanted a piece could get one.

Shaders = True was one of the delightful features of the drop, but the ultra rare RGB is the hero. We'd embed a piece here to show you, but unfortunately the nearly 8k pieces crashes the fx(text) editor. Please enjoy this uploaded image instead.
