Via Marguerite:
“Back when I made 1Flamen6 aka Torched H34R7S… I was just beginning my journey into decentralized & emerging technologies and creative applications. Little did I know where this would lead! A puzzle that would captivate an audience for 3 years! Where $1500 worth of bitcoin woven into the painting would soar to values of $100K before it was solved and claimed!
