Hey folks. Just a quick apology about the NFT situation. While I remain proud of the work done by Mitch and the team in the NonFunGuy Division (still love that name!) I’ve decided to nix the project. The value of the Malaised Orangutans jpegs plummeted soon after release, and the project has been a total loss for investors, if not the company. Apparently people have been “copying” the Orangutans via screenshots? And posting them on Reddit? I’m not sure why someone would do that. It’s explicitly against the rules at the bottom of the page. But some of the blame lies with the company; we were advised not to work outside the blockchain, but we went our own way with this. I’m proud of NonFunGuy Div for their maverick spirit, despite the toll. Moving forward, we have decided to sever ties with NouveauBank at the end of the fiscal year.
