This is Visualising Bitcoin, a generative ordinal collection that attempts to answer the question: What does Bitcoin actually look like?
1⃣A collection of 121 unique 1/1 ordinal inscriptions
2⃣Each created from 100,000,000 pixels, to represent the 100,000,000 sats in each Bitcoin
3⃣The background colour is gold, to reflect the idea of digital gold
4⃣Coloured from the flags of 43 nations to represent the global nature of Bitcoin
5⃣Inscribed in March 2023, super early in the history of ordinals inscriptions

Thx @trygamma for hosting this on your marketplace and @eliherf1 for giving me the kick needed to explain my work better

.@dotlocker I've been tracking ICANN's TSG report timeline, and something interesting is happening.
The Public Comment Summary Report deadline has been extended three times:
5 Oct → 13 Oct → 23 Oct → 16 Nov (42 days in total).
Given Don Ruiz's membership of the TSG and Orange Domains' experience integrating DNS and Web3, I'd be interested in your perspective.
Are these repeated extensions simply administrative, or do they suggest the TSG is working through more complex issues raised in public submissions?
More importantly, what could this mean for the 2026 ICANN gTLD applicants looking to integrate Web3, particularly those applying for already-populated namespaces such as .crypto, .wallet and .nft?
Could the additional time influence how existing Web3 holders and digital twins are addressed in the eventual technical framework and registry agreements?
I’d also be interested in hearing the perspectives of others, including: @mattgould @InderpreetSingh

Today Microsoft announced Autopilot, an always on agent built on OpenClaw
The best part of this collaboration is how much @OmarShahine and others at Microsoft have contributed BACK to OpenClaw

Stroke of a Pen
I told Opus 5.5 to read my Bitcoin & monetary-history wikis & make a music video with code only.
it used ElevenLabs for the track.
Then a swarm of agents storyboarded and coded a 3:23 portrait reel. ~75 shots cut on the beats.
Had to do 2 revisions - first the people looked like poorly animated stick figures & it rewrote the rigs.
Then I said use matrix code to make it more interesting.
Impressive!

The internet's namespace has opened for new applications exactly twice: 2012, and now.
Over 1,600+ applications are already filed. ICANN hasn't committed to a third round.
Here's what that actually means 🧵
I’ve reviewed the ICANN TSG draft on gTLD integrations with alternative naming systems and compared it with @unstoppableweb’s email explaining why they’ve backtracked on several Web3 TLDs they had previously said they would apply for through ICANN.
The truth has been stretched very thin here, I’ll explain why in the 🧵below.
I’d welcome comment from @unstoppableweb, @mattgould, @sandy_carter (ex UD), Sebastien Ducos or others on the referances & inferences I have made to the TSG.
TL;DR - Some of the claims in that email appear to be inaccurate, or at least a significant stretch of what the draft actually says.
The email says:
“ICANN’s planned integration rules would require every name in an integrated namespace to be registered in the DNS and paid for, and for registrants to disclose their data.”
This is not what the TSG draft says.
The draft is not final policy or rules, does not require every Web3 name to be live in DNS, does not require every holder to pay DNS fees, and does not require full personal data disclosure.
#icann #gtld #domains #udfam
4. The draft does not require full personal data disclosure.
Sections 4.4 and 6.2 require a reliable way to prove that the same party controls the DNS-name and corresponding alt-name.
But section 6.2 allows an “opaque but durable identifier” or cryptographic identifier that validates the registrant “without revealing the actual identity of the registrant.”
Section 9.1 similarly says full personal contact data is not necessary if a durable identifier is enough to prove sameness.
The TSG draft points to real compliance burdens: same-string/same-controller guarantees, possible SRS enrollment, ICANN policy compliance, and enough controller information to verify control.
But I don’t see it saying every Web3 name must be live in DNS, every holder must pay DNS fees, or every registrant must disclose full personal data.
So the email seems to takes a series of real issues and state them far more strongly than the draft supports.
Open to correction & comments from @unstoppableweb or anyone closer to the ICANN process.

7/ Disclosure: the AI⁴ team holds UD names and is keeping most of them. On-chain resolution didn’t change this week. Only the ICANN story did.

Oh, I have quite a list of questions for
.@mattgould too. 😹
Not about AI. About UnstoppableDomains.
▪️When were the ICANN decisions actually made?
▪️ When did UD know which Web3 TLDs would not move forward?
▪️ Why were different purchaser cohorts given different refund opportunities?
▪️ What happens to customers who bought as far back as 2021–2022 based on the Web3 identity, wallet, login, website and integration narrative?
▪️ And what exactly does “own forever” mean when the surrounding utility layer can be removed, deprecated or strategically abandoned?
I have the purchase records, historical marketing, archived pages and current account evidence.
So yes — an open Q&A with the #udfam would be very interesting indeed. 🍿
Greetings from FrauHodl.X …
@mattgould can you attend? I see you reposting and commenting on all the ai posts so I know you’re around 😅 Can #udfam get an answer to my other question 🙋 please 🙏 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Call to @unstoppableweb domains customers. Make your voice heard at @enstroll space (he owns 13k UD domains).
Mark the date.
Let’s hear your views.
Kindly share it far and wide!!!

Hi @mattgould and @unstoppableweb ,This recent email has stirred up a lot of confusion among the community. Could you please explain your new plans for the legacy domains we’ve held on to all this time, and how you’re moving forward?
Some feel that we’re being “abandoned” or “rugged.”
Now would be an appropriate time to reassure everyone that this is not the case.
Thank you.
