A new ordinal bounty with a 200,000 sat reward is live!
283 sats \ 7 comments \ @rodarmor 24 Aug 2022 bitcoin
Congrats to @nullcount, who claimed bounty 0!
Bounty 1 will be both easier and harder. See the bounty page for details.
The oldest ordinal sent to the submission address by the end of the next difficulty adjustment period wins.
This means that right now, a submission containing any ordinals will take the lead, but further submissions will need to contain an ordinal lower than the current leader, making it get progressively harder as more ordinals are submitted.

Very interesting! Might look into it. However I have many sats in lightning channels, so I suppose getting the ordinals there isn't possible right?

Correct, you would have to close the channel to get them out. Also, you might not be able to predict which ordinals you would get out of the closing transaction. I kind of like to imagine that your ordinals in a lightning channel are in a quantum superposition which resolves when you close the channel.

Totally not a way to get nyms to doxx their UTXOs. Rod just likes overpaying for sats.

I have some BTC I haven't moved since 2011. How do I view the ordinal of my current UTXO's. I didn't understand how to do that from the FAQ.

Good question! I'll add that to the FAQ. For now:
  • Whenever you look up an output in a block explorer, including mine, there is a privacy leak, because you don't know if I'm keeping logs, and correlating IP addresses with addresses and outputs.
  • I had to restart the ordinals.com block explorer, and it hasn't yet caught up to the chain tip. It should take at most another 24 hours. It will definitely have indexed anything from 2011 though.
  • To look up an output, the URL is https://ordinals.com/output/TXID:VOUT. For example, ordinals.com/output/8d15bd8d607f27cec904f3d23edc6e1d87a655cabfb6182d6512717dc5f2dab6:0. (That link is dead, since it was spent, but you get the idea.)
