Opepen

On Opepen:

I haven't been inclined to opt in for a long time, and I'm not sure too many things can change this.

I feel like I need a 0 to 1 change in the kind of things being submitted to be moved again.

in v4, opting in to sets is an act of curation first; an act to reveal art second.

the bar for reveals is increasingly high. rather than a reveal being their primary purpose, blanks now embody a communities attempt to rank thousands of submissions into a high quality exhibition.

small update to how dynamic images are presented on the site

"An iron curtain has descended across the continent." – Winston Churchill (turning in his grave)

few kinks during the reveal process – sorry about that! next one will be better :)

extended the current Opepen opt in for 10 minutes due to some users not being able to opt in (API issue fixed)....

a couple new opepen features

- consensus breakdown
- delegated opepen on profiles

secondary markets are a side effect of the medium, not the main character.

99% of the current thing is gambling and i don't like it.

i don't like this design space. it doesn't feel like it's betting on the idea that people just want to own others' creations on the internet.

it feels like it's playing into high frequency traders playing hot potato…

smart wallets that do things for you without your explicit consent are not smart wallets; they are impersonating wallets.

user controlled signature UX is a feature not a bug.

programming with AI is very different to programming with your brain.

just like painting with AI is different to painting with a brush.

one is an attempt to manifest what the inner eye sees;
the other is an act of outward curation.

neither is wrong; they are distinct...

Growth is infinite. Work is worship.
