Punks have come to Hive!
The last few weeks I have been working on Punks on Hive for HiveFest.
I am really excited to announce Punks On Hive to everyone.
Almost every blockchain has a Crypto Punks clone, and now Hive does too.
Just doing whatever one did is not acceptable to me, I always have to do it better, and I believe I have.
Punks on Hive is the first generative NFT project that I know of that has a verifiably fair on the fly generation system.
What does that mean?
Most generative NFT projects create all the NFTs before the first one is minted then hand them out in a smart contract. No NFT project I know of continously calculates rarity based on newly minted NFTs.
Punks on Hive not only generates on the fly when you mint a Punk, each Punk can be verified against your transaction details. This is another first in the generative NFT space as far as I know™.
A public repo will be available to verify what Punks you should receive based on the transaction ID of your mint.
How many Punks are available?
Like the original Crypto Punks, there will be 10,000 Punks total. Unlike the original Punks, I will not reserve any for the team. All 10,000 Punks are available to the community.
How are these Punks verifiable?
All code to generate random attributes for each Punk will be public and the seed to the randomize functions is based on your transaction data that cannot be manipulated.
What is Real-Time Rarity?
Real-Time Rarity is a phrase I coined that represents the fact every single Punk and attribute rarity is re-calculated every time a new Punk is minted. This is a very complex process that factors in every existing Punk and their attributes and re-calculates how rare each Punk is. I have never seen a system do anything close to what ours does.
How much are Hive Punks?
I spent a lot of thought in deciding on a price for Hive Punks. On one hand, you want to price them high enough that there is a reasonable floor to the market. On the other hand I wanted them cheap enough everyone can get some and feel like they have a good size collection.
That being said, I decided on 25 Hive per Punk, with a limited time price of 20 Hive during throughout Hivefest. Out of everyone I asked about pricing, this was on the lower side of the feedback.
When will Punks on Hive be available?
I want to open the doors prior to Hivefest, the exact time has yet to be determined.
How are Hive Punks different than the original Crypto Punks?
- Hive Punks are on Hive
- Generated on the fly
- Real-Time Rarity
- Unique Attributes and Accessories
- Have names and professions!
- Don't have a minimum price tag of $350,000.
Is there a market for Hive Punks?
Yes! All Punks can be bought and sold on the internal market. Punks on Hive will be integrated with third party markets as well to be announced soon.
Catch @themarkymark's presentation at Hivefest to learn more of the technology behind Punks on Hive.

Proof-Of-Punk finally joining Hive ! Open the gates please
Nice work, your real time rarity calculator is definitely an innovation. Unfortunately the generative NFT has been done already on the dlux sidechain. Do you have any further information on the transactionID to mint verification process? Is it based on more than just your txid?
Looks cool mate.
!PIZZA
Yo @chronocrypto, what's up
We've seen that getting gamed in Hive Dice roller games, but don't ask me how. I just know that the bank lost on those days, like big times.

I've never looked into mempool functionality of hive, but if i were a witness does that mean I could order transactions to a favorable or less favorable outcome? If i was signing the transaction for myself as a witness, would I be able to withhold it until a favorable outcome is guaranteed?

Me me me, I'm up for some Punk action! I like the sound of the real time rarity
Another chapter in the book "How to make money out of thin air"
think the same.
yap
Sounds like a great place to put some of my SL earnings.
Nice!
So cool.
Hive Punks :)

not seen a more bullish post on HIVE for weeks, this comment section is out of controle!
NFT on HIVE is a bullish sign

You should add original minter royalties. Whoever mints one gets a share of 3% (whatever percentage) royalties on secondary market sales for life. Something similar to Degen Punks royalties. That would be sick and kinda gamify things.
Generative NFTs are definitely the way to go. Last month on October 14th, 2021 dlux.io minted its first generative NFT which has been freely traded on its market since. Very cool to see another project, especially based around the beloved punks. I'm looking forward to learning more about this Real Time Rarity, super cool idea!

I cant wait for this and yes I want this so bad and @solymi wants this even more since he is the one writing these lines!
Should you need someone to promote it on stream please feel free to contact us!
Is there any game mechanics to this or are these just NFTS with stats?
Just NFTs for now, but am thinking of potential ideas.
Cool, yeah it would be fun if these were drivers/pilots of vehicles in some sort of Madmax style battle game :)

Lets go!
Finaly I will be able to get a punk :)
P.S. We can use them as Hive avatars?
Yup!
This is so cool! It would be great to have at least one of them. Looking forward. I wonder if it's possible to have a limit per wallet so no one would take many for himself. Thanks
There are no limits but there are 10,000, so there should be no issues getting a hold of some.
Awesome! Thank you and I do hope to have some. Cheers and all the best on your preparation :)
Got to put some hive aside for this one. Finally I can join the nft craze....🤡
Lets go
Nice work! I have been looking forward to some dope Hive-punks:)
Can't wait for this!
Looking forward to buying some for sure...And thank goodness it's on Hive so it won't cost a mortgage payment to buy one LOL
Awesome stuff man!
Nice! Good to see some fun coming to HIVE! Great idea, I can't wait.
I see you have clowns, me like
Oh yes thanks @splinternews for bringing me here!
!LUV and !BEER
I really want at least one of those Punks and let us know if you want to promote on our stream!
!PIZZA
this is fuxking awesome! But is there some kind of whale-preventing mechanism like quota per account (above certain rep maybe) so even minnows have a shot to get one?
There are 10,000 total. I don’t really see them selling out.
ah, right, great. I always forget how valuable 1 Hive is now. 25 Hives ain't cheap.
Don't be so certain! Also, tell me where to buy some!
That's an awesome project, I hope it will sell out quickly. I will get mine on HiveFest!
What will happen if ten thousand punks are all owned and no one keeps any? Isn't it true that his number will increase in the future?
excellent work; hurry up!
There can never be more than 10,000. What would people do with them if they don’t keep them?
That's fantastic; I'm looking forward to that day.
Nice job! Hivers deserve cool stuff too :-) Making everyone feel like they have a good collection is a great way for long term success of NFTs.
Ok, that is an awesome project. Never dipped my toes in minting NFT's, so I have to start from scratch, but this will be a fun learning experience and hopefully a good investment.
Thank you Mark.
Very cool idea! I have a question, I minted several Hive Punks today, but it does not show any in my Gallery, where do I go to find Hive Punks that I've purchased?
Thanks!
There is a delay as the NFTs minted a lot faster but the metadata has issues, it's being wokred on though.
I'm in for some.
I want one!
Soon™
Nice!

Sounds like fun
You've been working hard... and right on time for Hive Fest.
This is fantastic
Let us go
I want one!
Spread love.

Outstanding! I am up for it!😎

If you build it, they will come
Wait, where exactly can I buy these from ?
Will be announced soon.
This is awesome. Good luck!
That's cool

Sweet!
Need to keep some hive so i can get this nft
Seems like a good start for building a metaverse here on Hive lol
I will take 10,000 please.
Did anyone have a leftover HiveFest ticket? Cool not get one earlier. thks
This is Educating. Thanks
I am surprised that this contribution has received so many votes. Another rip-off to make money out of thin air. Nobody needs that.
Every change but Hive has created a Punks clone, and I've made a lot of changes to make it quite different.
Well, as always I will things bad, but have a look and buy 1 or 2... But honestly I think I should not. :D
Nice, let us know when they're out and I'll get one :)
Cheers

They will mint, and you actually get the NFTs with the IPFS data, but IPFS is too slow for the web so I was moving assets and metdata to a faster system, but that system choked so I'm building a new setup.
Thanks!. I understand now. Congratulation for the project.
I love this, it looks so good. I would like to get some.
Minted three HIVEPUNKS this morning. Looking forward to seeing them when they are done minting! Shout out to @zapf-brannigan's Twitch stream where I was made aware of this project.
Have some !PIZZA as a token of my appreciation for building another great project on the HIVE blockchain!
This is wonderful, so glad to be part of this community and I just minted my 1st Hive Punk partly from my sales on @nftshowroom
Great project marky! I love that I can mint a punk without paying expensive fees
Where i can have it?
This blockchain is never short of ceativity. Congratulations on your successful selling out of the PUNKS
Love Them Character's, reminds me when I was Growing Up with a Commodore 64 lol, trying to Solve a Game Called *Maniac Mansion * ** by LucasFilm...hehehe the Good Ol Day's

Hey, I can't buy a punk on the market. It says transaction broadcasted successfully but the purchase doesn't go through. Any tips?
It requires SWAP.HIVE not Hive.
appreciate it! did the swap on Leodex. I bought punk 189 and he looks like Spike Spiegel!
Are hive punks still alive?
Sorry, I didn't see this until now.
Yes, they are. There isn't much going on, but they are fully functional and the market is still live.

BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko
Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
