Bad faith collection including my early ordinals
Opened this issue · 2 comments
This is a bit of an odd issue perhaps, and I'm wondering if here is best where it can be resolved. The basis is, a 'collection' is including other inscriptions in bad faith to boost their own metrics in terms of collection age, while also feigning some status of authenticity. Due to this some ordinal viewers for instance ord.io which use this git's data, are showing it as the 8th oldest collection.
It has to do with the the following commit 9dead4b
Specifically this "Tokemoji" collection, which advertises itself as "The first emoji bitcoin inscriptions" publicly on their socials.
Upon basic inspection it appears this collection is that of the first unicode emojis inscribed in plaintext, however there are a convenient few dozen extra png and webp files in the 9 and 12 million inscription count. That is where the grift I allege is coming into play, as I am claiming those to be tacked on in some scheme to pass off as an og collection.
I myself inscribed many of the ordinals in this 'collection', primarily ones in the 1XK range as well as a number past that. Furthering this I had passed off the crude method I had used to bulk inscribe them to a friend who I believe makes up the other sizeable percent of this collection. I do not know who inscribed the 97-141 inscription count emojis however I imagine they are too in a similarly appropriated manner.
If needed I can prove ownership of a sizeable number of the inscribing addresses involved, im not quite so sure the person who bundled their 9/12 million series inscriptions along with mine and other's can say similar.
So I'm asking here, what is the best method to deal with this?
On a random note, hello again from the first user to PR a collection into this repo.
Will be resyncing my node so I can prove ownership over a number of the alleged inscriptions. To be clear a collection consisting of only the unicode emojis first inscribed on bitcoin is something greatly in my favor. Just not when someone randomly tacks on a bunch of freshly inscribed images alongside them.
Rather there's a blatent reason people like me were inscribing the unicode of emojis not just images of them.
Completely just voicing suggestions but if I may on how to possibly handle this?
- Tokemoji collection has all the inscriptions in the hundred thousands and below removed, these are all the unicode emojis
- A curation of their metadata placing the legitimately unicode emojis into a suitably labelled collection, with no owners or socials
I am
I am terribly sorry for that slight of hand closing and having to re-open.
I was meaning to finish stating that I would volunteer towards a PR if there is any concluded path to resolution towards this. For now though node syncing.
