Some people are asking me what 100% On-Chain Art means.
It means every single bit of the art is on the blockchain. No IPFS, No arweave. Nothing is needed but the blockchain to enjoy the art exactly as it was intended.

This is crazy. miniPODS were airdropped to everyone on

One of the awesome things about doing a 10K ordinal is that we can hook up all of our Sovrn Curated collectors with spots.
CENTS is a free mint + inscription fee
If you had trouble with the Atlas sign-up, submit w/ a support ticket.

It's my birthday and there is no way I am going to end the day without Reflection minting out.
So close, so every hour I am going to mint 10 for museums & institutions.
This guarantees a mint out by Midnight, but also gives everyone a final chance to mint their own.

Just finished an accounting of the byteGANs deploy.
It cost over 30 ETH to record the contract and 1111 GIFS directly on the Ethereum Blockchain.
That's $50,000 USD in Gas Costs. Here to hoping it sells out...

One of the things
#CryptoArt
has opened my eyes to is that the gender disparity in art is real.
Women are even underrepresented in
#CryptoPunks
where only 38% are female.
For my latest CryptoPortrait I trained a GAN on only female punks.
Here is the work in progress...

When I made the byteGANs 100% decentralized and inscribed each of their dancing GIFs into a discrete memory slot directly on the blockchain, I created a layer of ambiguity.

If you have to do anything on the block chain in a rush, stop, and don’t do it.
99% of hacks create a massive FOMO moment where you drop your guard and mess up OPSEC because you are in rush… Then your wallet is gone.

5 years ago I knew GANs were going to be big, and it took a bit, but people finally came around.
I have an even stronger belief that Reflective AI will become focus of both AI art, and AI in general.

An interesting misconception going around about Rutherford Chang’s Cents
is that the 10,000 pennies are AI.
They are not.
They are 10,000 copper pennies.
This makes the collection extremely unusual as most every 10k project is generative.
