Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!
I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.
This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating! ♥
Future Events
I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!
I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event
If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them

Thanks, that was interesting. Pretty different experience when there’s very little contention for space.
Hey, I remember this username! You were spending your pixels on grieving us…
Cause crypto is shit.
Well you’re kinda right, the “crypto” space as a whole is mostly driven by speculation and hype about price. We encourage neither, and focus on building private digital cash.
This is reflected in how our instance is run, zero user data is required for signup. To prevent bots we have a one time fee of about 1.5 USD. This also covers about half the expenses, the other half is provided by anonymous donations. The hosting is directly paid with Monero, making the instance and us a bit more independent from large corporations and especially payment providers.
Because you are here on lemmy, I figured you share some of those values, and that you might find use in private transactions. If you want become rich, you should look somewhere else.
It’s not crypto, it’s the people that use it
Understandable sentiment, I cant stand the crypto bros either. For me, it’s not about lambos or whatever, I just wanna be able to buy stuff without paypal, mastercard and anybody else tracking my every step.
On the canvas we made it very clear from the beginning to not damage surrounding art and pushed for a creative use of the area (besides the coins, but come on, almost everybody has some flag or logo on the canvas)
