    The ASCII HMNKY Community Collection is Live!

    Hey everyone!

    I’m thrilled to announce that the ASCII HMNKY Community Collection has officially launched, and it’s nothing like you’ve seen before in the NFT space! If you’ve been following my journey from the last post From Neofetch to NFTs: The Birth of ASCII HMNKY Collection, you know we’ve been gearing up for something special. Well, that special moment is here!

    Collection Details:

    • Total Supply: 2000 NFTs
    • Mint Price: 10 HBAR
    • Delivery: Each NFT includes a dual-file format – a PNG visualization and the actual ASCII text file.
    • Variants:
      • Common HMNKY (1000 available): Inspired by HMNKY #1155
      • Uncommon HMNKYs (300 each): Inspired by HMNKYs #555, #403, #434
      • Rare HMNKYs (100 available): Inspired by HMNKY #544

    This collection is not just about owning a piece of digital art; it’s about celebrating the Hedera Monkey community and pushing the boundaries of what NFTs can be.

    A Groundbreaking Innovation:

    What sets this collection apart is the inclusion of a .txt file in the NFT mint. This is a pioneering move in the NFT world, making us the very first to offer such an experience. This isn’t just about the novelty; it’s about preserving the raw, unadulterated essence of ASCII art within the blockchain.

    Wallet Compatibility:

    To make this vision a reality, we’ve collaborated closely with some of the best wallets in the Hedera ecosystem:

    • Hashpack: Currently, Hashpack is leading the pack. They’ve implemented the best support for our .txt files, allowing you to download your monkey directly from the app. If you’re looking for a seamless experience with your ASCII HMNKY, Hashpack is your best bet right now.
    • Kabila and Atlantis: These wallets are on the cusp of rolling out updates that will support downloading the .txt files as smoothly as Hashpack. We’re excited about this development, but remember, this is specifically for the .txt file; the PNG file of your ASCII Monkey works perfectly on all platforms right out of the box!

    This launch is more than just minting NFTs; it’s about exploring new territories in digital art and community engagement. We’re at the forefront of blending traditional computing nostalgia with modern blockchain technology, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together with the community.

    Get Your ASCII HMNKY:

    The collection is live, and you can mint your own ASCII HMNKY right now at ASCII HMNKY Community Collection. Dive into this unique blend of art, technology, and community spirit.

    Thanks for joining us on this journey. Let’s continue to innovate and celebrate our community’s creativity in the Hedera ecosystem.

    Stay weird, stay creative.

    From Neofetch to NFTs: The Birth of ASCII HMNKY Collection

    When I customized my Linux Mint neofetch display with an ASCII HMNKY I created, inspired by my favorite Hedera Monkey NFT. I never expected it would spark a whole new community project. But that’s exactly what happened when I shared my creation with the HMNKY community.

    The enthusiasm was immediate and encouraging. What started out as fun customization of my terminal quickly evolved into something bigger: fellow HMNKY holders wanted their own ASCII HMNKY. This organic response from the community inspired me to create something special – the ASCII HMNKY Collection.

    The Collection
    The ASCII HMNKY Collection is created by the community, for the community. Another way to show your support and excitement for the Hedera Monkey community, and the Hedera Network, while adding a unique retro-computing twist. Each NFT comes with both a PNG visualization and the actual ASCII text file.

    Collection Breakdown:
    Total Supply: 2000 NFTs
    Mint Price: 15 HBAR
    Delivery: Dual-file format (PNG + TXT)
    Variants: 5

    Common HMNKY (1000 available)
    HMNKY #2 – Inspired by HMNKY #1155
    The foundation of our ASCII collection

    Uncommon Editions (300 each)
    HMNKY #1 – Inspired by HMNKY #555
    HMNKY #3 – Inspired by HMNKY #403

    Rare Edition (100 available)
    HMNKY #5 – Inspired by HMNKY #544
    The most exclusive variant in the collection

    Current Status
    I’m in the creative phase, bringing each variant to life through careful ASCII conversion work. The project is pending final approval from SentX, and I’m excited to share progress updates as we move forward.

    This project represents the spirit of the Hedera Monkey community – where a simple shared moment can spark something special. It’s been incredible to see how fellow HMNKY holders have embraced this idea and helped shape it into a meaningful community collection. This isn’t just about ASCII art or NFTs – it’s about creating another fun way for our community to come together, show their HMNKY pride, and continue building the amazing culture we all love.

    Stay tuned for updates on the launch and minting details!
