And now his watch has ended.
Justin’s Orb is over, and no further activity will happen. Thank you to everyone who participated. Follow Justin on X to keep up with his thinking.
Follow JustinUp until now, much of the NFT space has concerned itself primarily with art, pictures, jpegs and galleries. Orbs are different. Orbs are usable 1-of-1 NFTs that belong in inventories, not in galleries. They are for usage, not display. Conceptually, an Orb is a precious item that belongs in your magic item bag. Technically, the Orb is a modified ERC-721 on Ethereum that manages ownership functions through auctions and a Harberger tax system.
I, Justin Drake, solemnly swear to honor my Orb as far as my eyes, my arms and my mind serve me. I shall answer any question dutifully—as long as I do not violate any law or ethical code, or put myself or others into danger by doing so. The sum of my collected knowledge and wisdom is at your disposal. This is my Orb, and I shall bear no other Orbs of this kind under the reign of this Orb.
