Taproot Wizards Delays 'Quantum Cats' Sale for 2nd Time, After Messy Bitcoin NFT Debut

Summary

Bitcoin Ordinals project Taproot Wizards postponed the minting of its 'Quantum Cats' collection for the second time due to ongoing technical issues. The sale, which was initially set to resume on Tuesday, is now scheduled for February 1. The collection, consisting of approximately 3,000 digital cats, was created to honor a Bitcoin improvement proposal known as OP_CAT. However, users reported problems with the minting website. The sale will restart at 17:00 UTC on February 1 and will last five hours, followed by a one-hour break before continuing for general sale. Taproot Wizards raised $7.5 million in seed funding in November for its projects, which focus on inscriptions from the Ordinals protocol, also known as "NFTs on Bitcoin."
