# Awesome 100 Ordinal Punks (Anno 2023) Notes - 24×24 Pixel Art on the (Bitcoin) Blockchain
All about the 100 pixel punks inscribed on the bitcoin (classic) blockchain in the (binary) image/png format - 8-bit colors (in r/g/b with alpha channel); 24×24 with 8x zoom, that is, 192×192 pixels.
**Official**
web: [ordinalpunks.com](https://ordinalpunks.com),
twitter: [@OrdinalPunks](https://twitter.com/OrdinalPunks)
> Ordinal punks are a generative profile picture (PFP) collection
> that is fully on-chain on the bitcoin blockchain
> minted within the first 650 inscriptions.
>
> Ordinal Punks are using an [open source algorithm](https://github.com/cryptopunksnotdead/cryptopunks/tree/master/cryptopunks) to generate the profile picture (pfp) which is 192x192 pixels [24x24 with 8x zoom].

Q: Who is the creator?
Flow Stay is the creator of Ordinal Punks.
Q: Who is Flow Stay?
Flow Stay is the anonymous discord (chat) handle
of the Ordinal Punks creator
and likely the creator of the official website
and twitter page & posts.
As of February 14th, 2023 Flow Stay is still posting
(and hasn't yet disappeared Sathosi-like forever).
If you know more, please tell / share!
Q: How are punk (pixel art) images generated?
Note / Disclaimer: I (Gerald Bauer) am the creator of the punk's not dead text-to-image generation algorithm (& [punk spritesheet](https://github.com/openpunkart/punks.spritesheet)) BUT
have heard about Ordinal Punks in the news and
I have no insight knowledge and
I am NOT affiliated with Ordinal Punks (HODLing: 0).
Anyways,
to give you an idea on how-to-use
the punk (open source) algorithm / machinery
I have put together [**100 Ordinal Punks - The Free White Label Quick Starter Edition**](https://github.com/ordinalpunks/ordinalpunks.starter) - Yes, you can. Let's (re)create from zero / scratch a pixel-perfect
copy of the Ordinal Punks collection (Anno 2023) using text prompts ("attributes").

Triva / Errata: While preparing [**100 Ordinal Punks - The Free White Label Quick Starter Edition**](../ordinalpunks/)
I found two bugs / errors in the official metadata:
-  Ordinal Punk #25 - Incl. An Extra Hoodie
> "attributes": [{"trait_type": "Type", "value": "Male 2"},
> {"trait_type": "Hair", "value": "Sombrero"},
> {"trait_type": "Mouth", "value": "Mustache"},
> {"trait_type": "Clothes","value": "Hoodie"}]
-  Ordinal Punk #84 - The (Punk) Type Reads: Alien Male Green BUT is really (Human) Male 1
> "attributes": [{"trait_type": "Type", "value": "Male Alien Green"},
> {"trait_type": "Eyes", "value": "Eye Mask"},
> {"trait_type": "Mouth","value": "Chinstrap"},
> {"trait_type": "Hair", "value": "Fedora Black & White"}]
Bonus: For your convenience I have reformated
the dataset in javascript notation (.json)
into the tabular dataset in the comma-separated values (.csv) format.
The [**ordinalpunks.csv**](https://github.com/ordinalpunks/ordinalpunks.starter/blob/master/ordinalpunks.csv)
dataset (with 100 records / rows) reads:
``` csv
id, type, gender, skin_tone, count, accessories
1, Robot, Male,, 1, Big Beard
2, Human, Male, 2, 2, Bubble Gum / Birthday Hat
3, Human, Female, 1, 3, Flowers / Frown / Gold Chain
4, Demon, Male,, 2, Hoodie / Pipe
5, Ape, Male, Blue, 2, Buck Teeth / Cowboy Hat
6, Human, Male, 3, 2, Laser Eyes / Cowboy Hat B & W
7, Human, Male, 1, 1, Cap Burger King
8, Vampire, Male,, 1, Demon Horns
