You can still collect this misprint grail from the first art show on Ethereum
17b or "UASF" is a rare example of life imitating art
UASF stands for "user-activated soft fork", a Bitcoin-associated term
In 2017, when Curio Card 17 launched, a second vending machine contract was created after the first was incorrectly deployed
But collectors still minted the "incorrect" card 17, creating a "fork" or duplicate card, aka a "misprint"
The soft fork depicted in the artwork had occurred with the card in reality too.
This makes 17b a truly special collectible in NFTs, with a unique story from the early days of crypto experimentation
Art was the easiest way to bring more people into crypto in the early days, because art connects with people
We still need more artists in crypto
The lore in older NFT collections is unmatched
Our dev was deploying on testnet to make sure the minting contracts worked
Curio Cards retweeted
Because I've got a lot of new readers on my feed this week, @myCurioCards was the project that changed the direction of my life as an artist. Imagine drawing a bunch of Bitcoin dog art on a cramped airplane tray table in 2017, and then seeing those drawings hit $100M+ marketcap on @OpenSea four years later. Only in crypto!
They're coming for your collectibles
From @TheAthletic: More than 200 packages containing trading cards valued at nearly $1 million were stolen from a FedEx truck parked outside the California headquarters of grading giant Professional Sports Authenticator. nyti.ms/4B8IfnU
The Bard is the only Curio Card with its numbering on the right-hand side
The reason why remains a mystery to this day
