Should I be the 1st to openly vocalize that Opepen Edition 1498 will stay forever unrevealed?!
A bold move, but maybe a more obvious one.
And a clear statement of in it for the art.
8/8/23 Scene: Overly hyped for the "infinity-vv" genesis art drop and unable to properly activate my Metamask wallet with Opensea for weeks. Impulsively I decided the easiest thing to do was remove the Metamask extension from my browser and reload.
Poorly thought out, as extensions act differently than websites & all information is lost once deleted. I then spent 9 hours with Metamask customer support, while actively entering a seedphase I was certain was right.
Knowing 1 of my prize possessions, an Opepen Edition 20, by @jackbutcher was locked in that wallet & was directly connected to the InfinityVV drops (which also would never see the light of day).
Two helpful discoveries during this unnerving day that might help YOU in the future:
1. The Dan Finlay Tool: Once you type in your 12 word Secret Recovery Code (SRP) it shows all wallets associated with that SRP.
2. 2048 potential SRP list: most wallets have one of 2048 words used in the SRP so if you wrote something down and can't read it, best to check this list in the hopes you can decode it. Remember the sequence of the 12 words matters as well.
None of the above worked for me, as I had created a new wallet mindlessly when adding a Ledger to the mix. Even during an Opepen crisis, I tried to keep a level head and positive mindset.
Telling myself there had to be a reason for this, and as a marketer shifting gears to leverage the situation into something favorable. As the floor price on revealed and unrevealed balance out, and eventually unrevealed hold the greatest potential value.
Will the classic black and white Opepen Edition become the ultimate grail?
Plus the opportunity for untapped branding potential. Thoughts?
Current scene: Eventually, after going through mounds of paperwork. I found the correct seedphase, obscurely handwritten on a piece of cardboard.
I have Opepen 1498 back in action and have been actively opting into all the amazing art, but a part of me still feels like maybe it was meant to stay forever unrevealed?
I was also able to create these 3 infinityVV genesis.
How vve feeling about these ∞ ?
