awesome-cryptopunks-bubble VS punks.contracts

as a follow-up to Punks F.A.Q. Update - Q: Am I allowed to create and sell my own [crypto] punks? Are punks copyrightable? I tried to update the Awesome Matt & John's® Punks Bubble (Anno 2021) Page / Notes. What's News?

See Punks (and Phunks) V1, V2, V3, V4 Timeline & Version History. Note: Feel free to download (or fork) and cut-n-paste and (re)use any text snippets.

What irony! Pseudonymous crypto millionaire 0xfoobar who was first to popularize formerly known Classic V1 Punks with a (safe) wrapper and market on OpenSea (pulling in a 2.5% commisson on every trade for 0xfoobar) got "rug pulled" - that is - a new crypto bros band lead / headed by the pseudonymous hemba rebranded "the old or V1" wrapper for V1 punks and are now pushing the new "official" and V2 wrapper for V1 punks and with a new zero-fee V1 cryptopunk market (hello, wash trading and self-dealing to push up prices - surprise, surprise - yes, new record V1 sales!).

starting with the write-up / wiki pages by the V1 Punk Founders (@Hemba et al) I put togther a first (quick) draft and all-in-one page of the History of the Punk V1 Saga.

The idea is to encourage you to download the "original" :-) and initally to save disk space (but since the image is a 8-bit color indexed bitmap it's a managable size about ~800k). You can find another copy at awesome-cryptopunks-bubble/i/punks.png. (~800k)

PS: Great to see the source published on github @ stephancill/synthetic-punks. I try to add the SyntheticPunks contract to the punks.contracts collection in the next days for further study.

PS: See punks.contracts for all contracts listed by time of creation.

some people collect (or is that gamble and speculate with?) punk tokens - I try to (study) and collect punk contracts ;-). See /punks.contracts for the full monty of the magic money minting / printing machines - yes, the open source code in the solidity programming language.

I've updated /punks.contracts. What's News?

While updating punks.contracts a code nugget from the ExpansionPunk contract:

I am updating /punks.contracts - a collection of punk blockchain contracts / services.

I try to collect some crypto punk contracts at /punks.contracts I'd say so far that's a first and welcome innovation / addition. The zunks (started on August 7, 2021) as far as I can tell store the attributes on-chain for every punk and offer (as a paid service - ka-ching!) a "re-roll" up-to-three times, that is, like on a one-armed bandit you can try your luck again for a new hair-do, hat or mouth prop and such BUT not the species (alien, ape, zombie, etc.).

And thanks for sharing the SHA-256 crypto hash for verification. I will add the ExpansionPunks contract to the /punks.contracts collection in the next days.
