Some fun details about Vareniyam on @highlight 

I didn't hear anyone mention it so I guess it wasn't too obvious, and I figured I'd keep it to myself until minting was over, cause it could be gamed if you really wanted.

It's about the features / traits: "age" and "ver" :)

highlight.xyz is an open-access platform for creating and collecting digital art and culture.

"age" is the cumulative amount of time spent exploring before minting. I shared Vareniyam 491 yesterday which took @pochita- almost 3.5 hours to find! And this is Vareniyam 665, which took anon 4 hour 15 mins and it's really quite unique!

Generative Artist ~ In the beginning there was code, and the code had a groove ~ Creator of Skulptuur (see http://skulpturen.nl) and other impossible things

"ver" means "version" (always size optimizing) and it consists of 2 numbers documenting the exploration journey. The 1st number counts the full random re-rolls (SPACE), and the 2nd number counts the individual fine tuning re-rolls (ZXCVB) made to arrive at this exact output.

I thought this way collectors can get an impression of the effort spent locating Vareniyam's treasures in an infinite sea. Of course this doesn't mean the ones with lower numbers are worse in any way, there is always luck, the decision to mint or not (or my code glitching!!).

Just because someone spent 2h exploring Vareniyam doesn't mean that every output from then on will be better, because that is not how random does. See the traits as a ship's log, mileage or travel memories.

So I made a nice gallery webpage where you can easily view and sort by traits:

Anyway hope you all enjoyed the project and this little easter egg but most importantly, the journey of exploration!!
