Bitcoin Ordinals project Taproot Wizards’ first “Quantum Cat” digital art sale achieved strong results on Monday, despite severe technical issues last week that delayed the planned minting three times, CoinDesk reported. At the end of Monday’s public minting, all 3,000 NFT-like collectibles in the series had been sold, each at a fixed price of 0.1 BTC ($4,265), with total revenue approaching $13 million. This revenue far exceeds the $7.5 million that Taproot Wizards raised from investors last year. According to the team, most of the images were purchased by whitelisted investors during Monday’s five-hour exclusive purchase window, and then 313 images sold out in the first two seconds of the public minting. Last Monday, the Quantum Cat sale began, but was suspended due to technical issues that prevented buyers from completing their purchases, which triggered widespread complaints on the project’s Discord channel. Despite this, collectors or speculators do not seem to be affected by this unfavorable start.
