The @l--o--l smart contract has a number of properties that I would love to use in the future. One of them is what I call "captaincy", i.e. the timestamp of the last transfer.
By calling ownedSince(shipId), you get the timestamp of the last transfer. This could be used in the future to give some privileges to wallets that have held a ship longer (or shorter, who knows). Or participate in some type of action (for example, governance), only if you own the token long enough.
The contract is here. I will cast more details of what's in there in the next days.

It works the other way round too.
Making symmetrical ones is easy, but I really like some of the weirder ones.

OpenSea refuses to update the newly minted NFT metadata, but you can also check them on rarible: https://rarible.com/collection/base/0xfc0b7b3bd5e0dbc29ee12f7d0d401a93f2045093/items
Minting will open in the next few days. Available through frames, using your warplet. Buckle up!
Using ChatGPT to create a photo-realistic image of a ship. Not bad.
I'm working on Phase II minting contracts and until they are ready, I'll leave OG minting open for Edition holders.
Keep in mind that this is a fun-based project, not a hype-based one. It's not my intention to create urgency when there's not. Enjoy your ships!

Don't forget to mint your OG ships (if you hold an OG Edition)!
OG Minting period (aka Phase I) ends on May 16!

A few words about the |--o--| artwork.
Look at these!
@24 , did you mint directly from the contract? Or in a browser with JS disabled? The website frontend should not have let you use these characters (that end up not showing).
I have to decide on the domain.
I like l--o--l.xyz. The problem is lower case L (l) vs pipe (|) is not obvious depending on the font used, it's easy to trick users to go to a site with a different number of dashes, a zero instead of an o, etc.
Alternative is aaships.xyz.
What do you think?

Website is starting to look good.

I worked on the l--o--l site scaffold. It's coming up nice and now that I (kind of) know React, things will move faster. I want to have a first version live soon.
Testing on Sepolia. Contracts seem 99% ready for prod. Still got a lot of work to do on the minting frontend.

Pieces are falling into place. This is something I needed.

I think zero was poorly designed. What do you think about the new one?


More details about the collection and minting. Dates and final details TBA.

If you own a “ASCII Art ships Edition”, pls move it to an address verified with your farcaster account. At some point I will allowlist the fids.

I did a lot of work on |--o--| development this weekend. I now have a farcaster frame that allows you to build your own ship. Todo:
1. Verify signed payloads from the frame.
2. Wait for frames tx support and add it.
3. Add a small feature to the smart contract that will open up many possibilities in the future.

Someone just bought an "ASCII Art Ships Edition" for 0.05.
That's great. If you hold more than one, consider selling some. We want more people to join, because Edition holders will create the first OG ships.

Less than 24h left. Free, open edition.
This will be the passport to a new, fully onchain, ascii art-based collection. (See my profile for details and teasers).
I love the 1337 community, and I'd love to have you onboard!

Idea (if we end up with ~100 Editions minted).
1. Edition holders will be able to mint (free) their own design (one per Edition held). These NFTs will also have a "OG" flag set to make them special.
2. The patterns minted by holders, will be used as blueprints for paid mints (random selection).
Thoughts?

Edition holders will be able to mint |--o--| for free.
This functionality will probably be available ONLY through a special frame, because it allows me to also pay for the gas. I'm working on the details.
