0xDEAFBEEF: Limited Edition Vinyl

On-chain storage has its benefits, but neglects the possibility of a catastrophic demise of the Ethereum network. It is thus prudent to preserve the audiovisual information on redundant physical media and distribute it geographically.

DEAFBEEF: Self titled, limited edition vinyl release. Audio compiled from Series 0 - 5 between March and Sep 2021. All sounds synthesized through generative systems, implemented as C code and stored on the Ethereum blockchain. Details.

A decentralized album: Many pieces have been selected and/or curated collaboratively by collectors and fans. A representative set have been carefully sequenced to an album format.

180g black 12" Vinyl Record with white inner sleeve.

SOLD OUT: Signed(autographed) edition limited to 300.
AVAILABLE: 107/200 Unsigned edition
AVAILABLE: 8/10 Test pressing

Purchase

A minimum of 100 additional unsigned editions still available. A firm cap for unsigned editions will be determined after gauging demand. A cosideration is that extras need to be saved to allow replacement of loss/damaged records during shipping.

Distribution is via smart contract queue mechanism. On top of a minimum purchase price, buyers may bid an extra amount to improve their place in the queue. At any time before shipment, buyers can change their bid amounts, or refund their purchase (excepting gas fees). After purchasing, buyers must login via cryptographic signature to provide a shipping address and contact method.

You may purchase on Arbitrum, Polygon or Ethereum Mainnet, but keep in mind that gas fees will be high on Mainnet in comparison to the purchase price. Gas fees are not refundable.
