Rodarmor’s big project release last year – the Ordinals protocol for creating NFT-like “inscriptions” on Bitcoin – brought a fresh spirit of playfulness and development vigor to the notoriously conservative blockchain’s ecosystem, while showering crypto miners with a cumulative $256 million in revenue. (The popularity of the transactions caused knotty problems…
