Hi friends,
Over the past few weeks I have been working on pushing out a blockchain called Lotus. I had hoped to go extremely fast with it and it's fair to say we're a little bit behind schedule at this point. However, I think that I have now gotten it where I would like it to be:
The first ever layer one to launch exclusively from the edge of the network.
There are still a reasonable number of questions remaining, including exactly what the product will do, but the shape of the network is now clear and blurt images once again ship with starport, thanks to my fork of starport at https://github.com/faddat/starport. Please know that you should not use this to scaffold new chains, there is still a bug, and when I've resolved that it won't be a fork anymore.
Images can be found here:
https://megadrive.blurt.foundation/cryptopie/
That said, you can use it to join chains and to coordinate chain launches with no problem.
I've also been doing some not highy visible work on Blurt, which I'd like to share:
git clone https://gitlab.com/blurt/blurt
docker-compose up --build
launches 100% of blurt:
- Caddy web server
- blurtd
- condenser
- image upload
- ipfs
- image proxy
That was a very significant piece of work, and you should check it out. The purpose is to allow you to rapidly debug with me. The current blocker on ipfs-hosted images is very small -- just the http return from the image upload service seems to not satisfy condenser, so the URL doens't come back to the browser.
I'll now write an article on the chain launches.

Wow, that's a lot of work!
Good luck with it!
And thanks for the information!
What is this about needing some sort of special wallet for an airdrop. Will there be more instructions put out for that soon?
