Just one big dot with lots of little dots in it. And also a BIG THANK YOU to all the collectors and artists for the great time I've had and will continue to have playing around with math, code and art on the awesome @fx_hash_ platform. Grab it soon @ fxhash.xyz/project/still-c

Statement about the future of fxhash Hey fx community, As you are aware, these times have been hard for platforms on NFT markets, and we're no exception. We recently had to scale down the team and have been working on scaling down our infrastructure. At this point in time, no one in the team is getting paid, there's myself and a handful of volunteers, as we're essentially running out of cash. I can understand why many platforms stopped trying, building this kind of product is draining you to the bone. That being said, I am committed to getting us through this rough patch as I still deeply believe in such a tool existing for artists, but it's clear that the current model is not working. I've been thinking a lot about the future of fxhash, if any, and it came clear to me that the platform drifted from its initial goal of serving artists primarily along its journey. I think at the root of the problem is that a tool serving artists should be fully owned by its users, and not operated by a small team of people, regardless of how benevolent might their intentions be. While it's always been a long-term goal of ours to fully decentralize the protocol at some point, now seem to be the only opportunity we'll have at it. It only seems like a tangible path towards the future in case the company could not keep supporting the product. We're close to securing some money as a loan / investment, targeting end of June. Once we get this cash, it's clear that we will need to immediately change our trajectory. The plan - reduce operational costs to a minimum - 4k$/mo in services -> will require 1-3 months of work - 8k$/mo in employment -> reemploy a very small and focused team - 2 devs - 2-3 part-time members for helping across the board (admin, marketing, artist liaison, community, etc...) - transition towards decentralization - implement a DAO - open-source everything - figure out pipelines to slowly decentralize decision-making and ownership, from governance towards implementation - open books: company financials for everyone to see - first order of business to solve together: financial sustainability, targeting profitability - consolidate the core product through governance - chains supported - features available - etc... This is the very last time we'll be able to raise cash in our current state, so essentially this will be our last shot at finding a way to build a sustainable long-lasting ecosystem. But I deeply think that the only way to do so will be collectively. It's essential that we reduce operational costs to a minimum until we figure out a sustainable path in the future. The bridge till June It's unclear whether we will be able to keep all the services running until we get cash. We took all the steps that we can and informed our providers, but their policies are understandably strict, I'll keep you updated about this.

Working on reflections, got the sky reflected as well now :)

connected blobs #wip #fxhash

Rodeo goes offline tomorrow. There's less than 24 hours left to use our hosted migration tools. If you plan to export or migrate your posts, now's the time.

So... Metaballs and some lambert shading applied to svg primitives. Is it too much?

fun with metaballs and simplex noise... #fxhash

.... just playing around with metaballs and simplex noise and svg #fxhash

We’ve made the difficult decision to wind down Rodeo. For those who’ve been active on the platform, there are steps to take as we wind things down. Learn more about what this means and what to do next → x.com/saturnial/status/20162…

Mint is closing soon fxhash.xyz/project/still-a

For me, the process of drawing #Inkfield matters more than the final image. You can see the intention forming between the artist and the algorithm. How the weight and lightness of the image get decided how I’m thinking about the structure on the left but the brush ends up landing on the right In the end it turns into this breathing space things coming together, things drifting apart Don’t look at the trees. Look at the forest. Can you feel it too?

artists, it's time to launch your coins when you launch an artcoin on fxhash: your coin all of your associated artwork is now discoverable & tradable by anyone with a @coinbase account new art paradigm 🤠

i hacked @fx_hash_ of course, not in an illegal way :) there is a smart way of making transactions that lets you choose the output without having to reroll. as the founder of @editart_xyz i just have to edit, it's second nature, i can't help it 😉

Just started to TOWR up.... ⚡️ $EBOY art coin on @fx_hash_ by @eBoyArts fxhash.xyz/iteration/towr-18… I like it. It´s fun to play with those!

I went digging in an old box and found dot-matrix prints of gen-art that I created in QuickBASIC in the early 90s. Fun times!

Fischbach #198 - on secondary for 35 TEZ by @Gazzinho 🙏 fxhash.xyz/iteration/fischba…

We're ready to get out of @ciphrd's basement. What do you say we launch this thing next week? FXH Protocol is good to go. And in week one we're rolling with @p1xelfool @punevyr @cemhah @rudxane1 @ty__vek @eBoyArts Anyone else dropping week one? Launch your coins! 🔥
