A Methodology for Bitcoin Ordinal Inscription
A practical guide for artists with no technical background who want to inscribe their work permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain — from a sovereign node they built themselves.
Every digital artwork ever made is stored somewhere. On a server. On a platform. Inside a company's infrastructure. That company can go bankrupt. That server can be turned off.
For the first time in the history of digital art, there is a permanent alternative — one anchored to Bitcoin itself.
Sovereign Art is the guide Beth Parin wished had existed when she spent the better part of a year learning to run a Bitcoin node in her studio. Written for artists with no technical background, it covers everything from setting up a Bitcoin node to making your first inscription — from a sovereign node you built yourself.
