Which New Yorker goes onchain?

MLow is exploring a version of every minted New Yorker that lives entirely on Ethereum: the pixels written into the chain, no server, no IPFS, nothing to go dark. Every pixel costs gas, so the art has to be rebuilt as pixel art. Here are four ways to do it. Pick the one you would want to own forever.

Tap a picture to vote for it. Tap the magnifier to see the true pixels. The painting above each set is the original, for reference. Nothing here is decided, and nothing is for sale.

Overall, which look is the most NEW YORKERS?

A B C D

What matters more to you?

As close to the painting as possible A strong pixel art look of its own Both equally

If your New Yorker had a fully onchain twin, would you claim it?

Yes Maybe No I do not hold one yet

What would you pay in gas to write yours onchain?

At today's gas a single piece costs well under a dollar. Gas moves, so this is about what feels right.

Under $1 Up to $5 Up to $20 I would want it gifted

What should an onchain New Yorker be able to do?

Pick as many as you like.

Glitch states made by the contract itself Night and day palettes Let me edit pixels, like Normies Open for other builders and games to read Nothing. Sit there forever, untouched

Which do you hold?

THE CENSUS RELEASE KEYSTONE Both Neither yet
