my Canonicon is still one of my favorite NFTs ever
some of you remember JPG, the curation platform/protocol; i used to work there and helped come up with some brainstorming for our official collection, mainly i came up with the Canonicon name and some of the CC0 art ideas
the NFTs were customizable, dynamic art in their own right, but they also had utility: 1) they served as an access pass to our "Canons" NFT curation system, and 2) they tracked your Canons governance XP
you can see in the pic below this tracking in action - "Proposals" noted how many Canons submissions i'd made, "Votes" how many Canons votes i'd made, and "Level" showed my progression per my rising gov XP
and with each new level, you'd unlock new layers like characters, items, landscapes, etc. that you could use to customize the appearance of your Canonicon whenever you wanted
the final cherry on top was the "Recently Exhibited" section, which was a carousel featuring NFTs you recently curated in your own personal (non-Canon) exhibitions, and it'd update as you made new exhibitions
it's no secret that over the years a lot of NFTs have been flat and static, but i loved how Canonicons married entertainment, interactivity, and utility in an inextricable and meaningful way. and these were soulbound, so there were no financial considerations, just experiential and reputational 2 replies

as a Creative Writing major i took a bunch of grammar classes, so i always see where AI makes technical writing mistakes
for example, there are subtleties around comma usage in English, e.g. introductory or parenthetical phrases, coordinate adjectives, nonrestrictive clauses, etc.
but one fundamental is using a comma (with a conjunction like "and") to separate independent clauses, i.e. two separate sentences
i've noticed that ChatGPT often stylistically eschews the subject in the second indie clause of these types of constructions, like:
"The company already holds over 100,000 BTC on its balance sheet, and sees mining as the natural next step in protecting its Bitcoin treasury and securing the network it depends on."
the technical error here is "and sees," in this construction the second sentence should lead with the subject "it" like so:
"The company already holds over 100,000 BTC on its balance sheet, and it sees mining as the natural next step in protecting its Bitcoin treasury and securing the network it depends on."
js, sometimes you have to edit your AI editor 2 replies
