Give us your best Inscription examples! will be added to documentation for Issue 949

[cryptoni9n]

The purpose of this PR is to gather good examples for Issue #949

Please submit feedback of any on-chain inscriptions that you feel make exemplary use of following inscription technologies for their respective areas of documentation:

3. Inscriptions

   3.1. Delegate
   3.2. Metadata
   3.3. Pointer
   3.4. Provenance
   3.5. Recursion

   • a) Remixing the content of existing inscriptions.
   • b) Publishing snippets of code, images, audio, or stylesheets as shared public resources.
   • c) Generative art collections where an algorithm is inscribed as JavaScript, and instantiated from multiple inscriptions with unique seeds.
   • d) Generative profile picture collections where accessories and attributes are inscribed as individual images, or in a shared texture atlas, and then combined, collage-style, in unique combinations in multiple inscriptions.

   3.6. Rendering

Updating the list below with all submissions:

Delegation:

• This inscription was inscribed as a delegate of this inscription and is also the parent inscription of a rune.
• The collection Oscillations * utilizes delegate, provenance, recursion, sat-endpoint, and detects the kind of sat that each piece is inscribed on (sattribute-aware). Each piece is a delegate of this inscription.

Metadata:

• Metadata to define attributes
• Metadata feeds inscription itself

Pointer:

Provenance:

• Bitcoin Magazine Cover
• Inscription 0
• Inscription 9776
• With the Rug Me collection, owners can change the background color by inscribing a child to it.

Recursion

• The Abstractii Evolved generative collection uses the recursive blockheight endpoint as a seed
• (b) This code is called recursively in this inscription
• (b) This code is called recursively in this inscription allowing it to operate as a drawing program.
• (b&c) Blob is a generative collection that seeds generation with metadata. It also uses delegation as the rendering engine. The Delegate is updatable with the sat endpoint. Delegate uses threeJS, React 3 Fiber and other libraries via recursion. Also each blob is on a satname starting with blob
• (c) Abstractii Genesis uses the inscriptionID as a seed
• (d) OnChainMonkey

Rendering:

Here's an inscription that I made that uses recursion, delegation and metadata. And also provenance if you count the structure of its dependencies.

https://ordinals.com/inscription/4fb16cb8362e117f671fdbc105d6738887cd58432d25cec328212e217426f4fdi0

Each inscription is a full application that reads in the metadata and uses it to draw pixel art. The idea is that you can delegate to this inscription with your own metadata and it'll render your pixel art. If you hover over the inscription there's a menu in the top right, which opens up a drawing tool that generates the metadata that you need to inscribe.

For example, I redrew my Bandit here

Rug Me

Child endpoint and Sat endpoint example collection
Collector can update background color by inscribing a child
Creator can "rug" collection by inscribing an additional image onto the entire collection using the sat endpoint

thanks @phorkish & @elocremarc for the excellent examples! I've incorporated them into the list in the OP.

*Oscillations

My collection Oscillations * utilizes delegate, provenance, recursion, sat-endpoint, and detects the kind of sat that each piece is inscribed on (sattribute-aware).

• Each piece is a delegate of this inscription: https://ordinals.com/inscription/52b4ea10c2518c954c73594e403ccfb2d50044f5a3b09a224dfa3bf06dd1d499i0
• The parent of this piece is the shared parent across my collections, demonstrating creator provenance. https://ordinals.com/inscription/303ffd160b94411bdae3b53bdc3d5329f912a81e459490c6da45358d7f4802e3i0
• This inscription just renders an iframe. It uses sat-endpoint to point to the sat which holds the actual generative code, the "generative engine" https://ordinals.com/inscription/ecb4d0ac876dc53b0b75a2d5f86cf05d41acbe9ba35c711f8a50304734505129i0
• This generative engine uses recursion to pull a variety of code libraries (THREE.js & addons), CSS styles, and a text file listing all the Pizza sat ranges.
• The delegate passes in each piece's inscription ID via a query paramater, and the generative engine uses that ID to fetch the inscription info via /r/inscription/<iid>. It then uses this info to determine the sattribute, based on sat number and charms
• The inscription ID is also used as a randomization seed for the engine's parameters.

Collection Link: https://gamma.io/ordinals/collections/oscillations-mdv
The 500 different pieces are on 7 different types of sats, each with different generative engine parameters.

thanks matthewvollmer, I've added your examples to the list in the OP! I think I minted some runes that are associated with this collection, RUNIC•SUBSTANCE?

[cryptoni9n]

seems like we may have all of the suggestions we're going to get so I'll start working on trying to integrate these examples into the docs.

[cryptoni9n]

Hi @casey & @raphjaph - I've incorporated the suggestions we received here into the docs. Please review and let me know if there are any edits or changes that you'd prefer.
