How do you feel about a decentralized, community-driven Ordinals launchpad?

1. Anyone creates a launch
2. Launch proposed to community
3. Community votes if they want it to launch (part reputation, part vote w/ wallet)
4. Successes are minted on launchpad

Good idea? Bad idea?

'OP_CAT is way bigger than I originally understood'
'I am truly surprised'
'Bitcoin has a promising future'

If you haven't had this realization yet, get studying. CAT is changing Bitcoin forever.

What is the biggest challenge for bitcoin ordinal creators right now?

1. Generating sustainable revenue
2. Growing their community
3. Ordinal community tools (voting, holder gated chats)
4. Doing more with ordinals (staking, tokens, games)

I'm a Bitcoin developer and I've been building on ICP (*gasp*) since 2021.

CAT is live on signet.

If you want to build better vaults, generic covenants, CatVM bridges, or even better BitVM bridges, the time is now; it is yours for the taking.

Similarly, if you want to prove that CAT increases attack vectors or is unsafe/dangerous, the time is now.

What are Bitcoin L2s using to bridge Ordinals, BRC-20, and Runes right now? Are they just custodial bridges?

We've built non-custodial bridging for ordinals, BRC-20, and Runes that will work for any Bitcoin L2. Is there interest here in a drop-in bridge solution?

Someone send me some I•AM•THE•CHAMPION runes please.

Rune punks minted out yesterday.

Here's how you had to etch it:
1. Use a unique punk as the image logo for the Runes
2. Name the Rune, e.g., PUNK•SEVEN•THREE•TWO
3. Pick 1 as your supply and pre-mine it.

The inscriptions from these Rune etchings are currently trading on…

I asked jeremy rubin 🥪 the likelihood of upgrading Bitcoin w/ CAT. He said 3% this year, or 25% in the next 10 years.

Udi | BIP-420 🐱 is claiming 100% chance of CAT going live this year.

How do we reconcile these two statements? What does Udi know that he isn't telling us?

What do you call an ordinals marketplace that lets you:
1. Stake ordinals to earn Runes
2. Buy ordinals with BRC-20s
3. Dynamically upgrade your ordinal image over time
4. Go on missions/quests to level up your ordinal
5. Farm new ordinal assets from ordinals in your wallet
etc.

Is there anyone out there who can accurately and succinctly tell me how RGB++ works?

I know it has 'RGB' in the name, but I don't think it actually shares that much with RGB (kind of like C and C++).

When was the last time that Luxor Technology 🟧⛏️ mined two blocks in a row? They are on fire 🔥🔥🔥

Reasons to love what's happening in Runes right now:

✅ Open source indexer
✅ Multiple etching/minting services
✅ Multiple marketplaces live
✅ Multiple tokens listed on CEX

Your bags might be down, and your balance might be burned (Cenotaph), but there's hope for the future

Now that OP_CAT has a BIP number in the bitcoin/bips Github repo AND the bip420/bip420 Github repo, it is time for war.

Which BIP number are YOU fighting for?

Who should be able to assign a BIP number?

Bitcoin is the most decentralized, secure, permissionless blockchain on planet earth.

It feels like anyone should be able to propose a BIP number, and then the 'ratification' of said BIP number would be community consensus.

Right?
