Questions, openly answered.

Turbomindz is an independent art publishing imprint that uses NFTs as the binding format. Each piece is a marriage of one philosophical quote × one art tradition × one of nine themes. Every collection is a record. Every holder is a Founding Witness. The story is the substance; the token is the receipt.

The nine philosophical themes — Stoicism & Virtue, Mysticism & Esoterica, Existentialism & Freedom, Phenomenology & Perception, Eastern Wisdom & Non-Duality, Aesthetics & Beauty, Ethics & The Other, Cosmology & Time, Logic & Language — provide a structural grid we discipline every scene against. No scene drifts; each is anchored to one theme and one art tradition.

Yes. Every quote is verified against a curated roster of mostly pre-1956 public-domain authors plus a smaller set of living philosophers. Attribution always includes the author's birth-death years. We never invent quotes.

The brand voice is collective by design — four characters (Cosmo, Nova, Stella, Luna) narrate the universe at a locked 60/20/15/5 voice ratio. We don't centralize identity around a single person. Press inquiries: Turbomindz@turbomindz.com.

Pick the Artist account type on your profile and claim a handle, so your page lives at turbomindz.com/u/yourname. Acquire a scene whose theme fits your work, then marry one of your physical artworks to it — that binds your piece to the scene on the record. Organize your married works into collections and promote them in the matching theme channel and the marketplace channels (#listings, #offers-and-trades) on Discord.

Post it where it belongs: the theme channel that matches your piece (Stoicism, Mysticism, and the other nine), and list it in #listings. Share your public profile link, talk about the scene you married it to, and let people find the conversation. Every theme room is a place to discuss the work — promotion here is conversation, not spam.

Yes. Use "Start a negotiation" on the scene — it posts your ask, your terms, and your Discord handle into the public #offers-and-trades channel, where the whole deal happens in the open. Settle the sale on OpenSea (the NFT) and ship the physical piece directly. All dealing is public; no DMs for deals.

Marriage gives your physical artwork a permanent, public anchor: it's bound to a Turbomindz scene on the record, travels with that NFT in any future sale, and earns a place in the witnessed-marriage history. It's provenance plus a built-in audience — the people already reading and collecting that theme.

Inception (1,150 scenes, 0.011 WETH ≈ $23 each) is the contemplative axis — one quote, one art tradition, one theme per scene. Off the Map (737 scenes, 0.015 WETH ≈ $32 each) is the narrative axis — the four characters traversing 39 universes in field-journal form. Hold across both to read the universe in stereo.

1,150 Inception and 737 Off the Map — 1,887 founding scenes in total. Both are fully minted on Polygon mainnet and listed for sale on OpenSea. The 14% Inception curation rate is the discipline behind the number.

On OpenSea. Both contracts are live on Polygon mainnet, and every scene on turbomindz.com has a Buy on OpenSea button that opens its listing. The website is where you browse; OpenSea is where the purchase settles — same art, same ownership. Royalty is 5% on every secondary sale, routed to the Turbomindz Gnosis Safe.

Permanent on-chain ownership of a unique scene + access to the matching universe Discord room + Wanderer-level forum + dashboard access + marriage-eligibility (it can be bound to a physical artwork).

We embed live Discord channels directly into the site. You can read the conversation as a visitor; you can post if you connect your wallet (NFT holder) or subscribe to Wanderer ($7/mo). Same Discord, two surfaces.

The Wanderer tier exists for community members who don't want to buy an NFT but want to support the village. NFT holders get Wanderer-level access free. Subscribing on top of holding an NFT stacks the quarterly prints, eBooks, voting, and DM channel perks.

Connect your wallet, then verify with Discord. Guild.xyz checks your wallet's NFT holdings and grants the matching Discord roles within 60 seconds.

No. Witnesses read first. The five-line code of conduct on /community covers everything you need. The point is contemplation, not credentialing.

Open /community on the site and step into Discord, or use the invite link directly. Drop a line in #introductions, read #rules-and-charter and #start-here, and you're in. Holder roles are confirmed by a moderator at launch and become automatic (wallet verification) in our next release.

Six, pinned in Discord #rules-and-charter: (1) the four characters are the public face — don't try to unmask the founder; (2) cite quotes with the author's dates; (3) no NFT shilling, no floor-panic, no “GM”/“WAGMI”; (4) be generous in arguments — steelman, cite, ask before assuming; (5) read before you post; (6) pre-1956 public-domain quotes. Enforcement is a quiet ladder: a DM, then a public reminder, then a short mute, then removal. Your NFTs are always yours regardless.

Marriage is a permanent, on-chain link between your Turbomindz NFT and a physical artwork. The marriage travels with the NFT in any future sale. The artwork is documented in metadata — title, year, medium, dimensions, statement, photos.

The Turbomindz collective reviews every application for canonical fit, originality, and evidence quality. Curation time: 7-14 days.

Marriage is $20 per application. It opens in a later phase, so applications aren't live yet — when they are, the fee covers curation and the binding to your NFT is permanent, travelling with the scene in any future sale.

Marriage is permanent. The artwork travels with the NFT to the new owner. The original artist's name remains in the marriage record forever.

Yes, but rarely — only by the current NFT owner with founder approval, and only within 7 days of marriage creation. Beyond 7 days, the marriage is permanent.

Browse turbomindz.com/gallery, open any scene, and use its Buy on OpenSea button — the purchase settles on OpenSea (Polygon). Inception scenes are 0.011 WETH (≈ $23), Off the Map 0.015 WETH (≈ $32). New to this? The /start guide walks through wallets and buying step by step.

Anyone who holds a Turbomindz scene can list it for resale — listing is free. The marketplace runs in the Discord #marketplace channels at launch; the rules and the safe-trade procedure are pinned in #marketplace-info.

A dedicated on-site marketplace arrives in a later release. Until then, secondary trades are arranged in the Discord #marketplace channels: a seller posts the scene and price in #listings, terms are agreed in #offers-and-trades, and the sale settles on the seller's OpenSea listing — one atomic transaction. Closed trades are logged in #completed-trades. The 5% royalty is built into the contract and routed automatically.

Always settle on OpenSea — never send crypto “first” on a promise. Turbomindz staff will never DM you first asking for funds, seed phrases, or a wallet connection; anyone who does is an impostor. Verify the contract address before buying — Inception 0x3e2E…F7ef, Off the Map 0x98dD…F751. Keep trade messages in the public channels, not DMs. If a trade goes wrong, post in #help and tag a moderator — staff mediate within 7 days.

The seller, who rolls the shipping cost into the listing price. It's the seller's job to know their shipping costs.

File a dispute within 7 days of delivery with photos. The Turbomindz collective mediates within 7 business days; if mediation fails, the dispute escalates to a community vote.

Yes. A pre-mainnet audit is complete and the report is stored in the project repo. The marriage-marketplace contract is audited before the marketplace UI launches.

Yes. Every scene's metadata is pinned to IPFS via Pinata. The contract emits the IPFS reference on-chain at mint. The art, the description, and the attribution are permanent.

The NFTs and royalty contracts are on Polygon, fully independent of our website. OpenSea, Polygonscan, and any Polygon explorer continue to render your NFT correctly. The website is a presentation layer.
