What is the Cursed Inscription and how can I participate? (Including an engraving tutorial)

Today while browsing on Twitter, I noticed that many people in the cryptography industry were discussing Cursed Inscription, which seems to be gaining popularity from a niche interest.

What exactly is it? How can one participate? And what are the risks? Odaily Star Daily has compiled the opinions of several Ordinals experts in an attempt to answer these questions.

The opportunity for the "cursed inscription" arose when several errors and omissions in the code prevented the recognition of certain inscriptions. Therefore, Casey, the founder of Ordinals, proposed the concept of "cursed" inscriptions: to modify them to recognize the currently invalid inscriptions, including tracing inscriptions in old blocks, but to treat these new inscriptions as "cursed" and assign them negative inscription numbers. Since they will not receive positive inscription numbers, they will not disrupt existing inscription numbers. (This is also why cursed inscriptions are also known as negative inscriptions.)

The Ordinals team stated that they will make repairs at specific blocks, which means that once repaired, cursed inscriptions will never be able to be forged again. A limited number of cursed inscriptions will continue to exist, but new ones cannot be inscribed thereafter. This is also the narrative foundation and rarity of cursed inscriptions.

Twitter KOL @0x AKLabs stated that their current risk lies in the fact that the cursed (negative) runes have not yet been merged, and it is even possible that the merge will never happen, or that there is some controversy within the community regarding this proposal. Currently, it appears that the three main developers of the Ordinals protocol (Casey, Rafjaff, and Ordinally) seem to lean towards supporting it.

On the practical level, since ordinary wallets do not recognize these, it is best to use Sparrow Wallet to save the cursed inscriptions' UTXO instead of Unisat or Xverse, which will consider it a regular UTXO, causing users to accidentally spend it as regular Sats in normal BTC transactions.

Method One

• Download Sparrow Wallet: https://sparrowwallet.com/download/

{

"p": "brc-20",

"op": "mint",

"tick": "crsd",

"amt": "1000"
}

• Open the website, https://inscribor.com.

Withdrawal success means that the transaction has been initiated. One address per UTXO is the safest option. Do not send multiple transactions to the same address. Currently, this method is the most secure, but Gas fees are relatively high.

Method 2

• Enter the website https://looksordinal.com, input the receiver, and click the text.

{

"p": "brc-20",

"op": "mint",

"tick": "crsd",

"amt": "1000"

}

Select a quantity of 1 , adjust the gas, check Cursed, select the service fee. If you do not build your own node, there will be a delay of one block when settling with the platform.

• Click inscribe.

• Payment, send the amount to the designated address. The earlier the money is sent to this address, the earlier the transaction will be packaged and sent to the memory pool.

• Remember not to close this interface after entering, and then wait.
  

  

After the engraving is completed, go to cursedordinals.com, copy the tx on the browser, and search to find the token.
