Just wrapped up the Research Network session I was invited to by @club/orb and @club/artistsbyrefraction Definitely learned a lot about Orb, and feel pretty excited about it's potential. Like all social networks, it takes time to find your crew, but looking forward to connecting with more people here.

I need to mint an NFT but the smart contract needs a comment added, a message related to the contents of the artwork. What is the best way to do that?

_Tell me, O muse, of he of many devices_. In Homer's time he or she would have been called a poet, in ours perhaps an artist. What's the difference? The English word poet derives from the ancient Greek poiein, meaning "to make"; it shares its root with the Sanskrit word cinoti, for "gather or heap." Art, from the Latin ars, encompassed all mediums transmitted by the Muses, among them poetry, history, and all other kinds of writing. An artist, then, is a maker of worlds, an assembler of forms and content, a diviner who writes things-with or without words-into being. It is generally true that words are pictures, and works of art are meant to be read. From the moment ancient Sumerians used the image of an ox to represent a sound, text and image have served related semiotic functions. How, then, in our contemporary era, did we come to consider them so separable?Tell me, O muse, of he of many devices.

Why do people all over the world, and at all times, want marvels that defy all verifiable fact? And are the marvels brought into being by their desire, or is their desire an assurance rising from some deep knowledge, not to be directly experienced and questioned, that the marvellous is indeed an aspect of the real?
