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.

Inside the story world the voice is collective by design — four characters (Cosmo, Nova, Stella, Luna) narrate at a locked 60/20/15/5 ratio, so the work speaks rather than a personality. The agency half is the opposite: it's run and signed by founder Hugo A Gaona, who answers for every project. 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 share them in the matching theme room and the marketplace room of the forum.

Post it where it belongs: the theme room that matches your piece (Stoicism, Mysticism, and the other nine), and list it at /marketplace/list. 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 — sign in, and it opens a thread in the public marketplace room carrying your ask and your terms, under your profile name. The whole deal happens there 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 ≈ $27 each) is the contemplative axis — one quote, one art tradition, one theme per scene. Off the Map (737 scenes, 0.015 WETH ≈ $37 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 + the matching theme room in the village forum + dashboard access + marriage-eligibility (it can be bound to a physical artwork).

Here, at /forum, on our own system — not embedded from anywhere else. Anyone can read it. Posting needs an account, and the nine theme rooms need a scene in your linked wallet. There is no separate app to join and no second identity to maintain.

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, and voting perks.

Link the wallet holding your scene to your account and the rooms open. We read your holdings from the blockchain ourselves and re-check them, so there is no verification step, no third-party service, and no role to claim.

No. Witnesses read first. The code of conduct at /community/rules covers everything you need. The point is contemplation, not credentialing.

Open /forum. Reading is open to everyone, with no account at all. To post, sign in and agree to the rules once; to enter the nine theme rooms, link the wallet holding your scene. Nothing is confirmed by hand and there is nobody to wait on.

Six, published at /community/rules: (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) quote from the public-domain roster. 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.

Yes — as a witnessed change. Applying is free, but changing the art attached to an already-married scene is a $20 re-marriage: it goes through the same review, the fee is refunded in full if the change is denied, and the scene's page carries the full marriage history forever (previously married to …, changed on …). A bond is still one-way — only the studio can void one.

Nothing — applying is free, and applications are open now at /marriage/submit. A person reviews every application (7-14 days) and may ask for more evidence before approving. On approval the binding is permanent and travels 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.

Not by request, and not by you. A marriage is permanent from the holder’s side — there is no undo, no cooling-off period and no time window. Turbomindz Studio can remove a bond only where the provenance declaration proves false, the work was not the applicant’s to commit, or the pairing is unlawful. That is a correction to the record, not a service you can ask for.

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 (≈ $27), Off the Map 0.015 WETH (≈ $37). 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 is on-site at /marketplace, and the safe-trade rules are at /community/rules.

The on-site marketplace is live at /marketplace. Only married pairs can be listed — the NFT and its married physical artwork travel together — so you apply for marriage first, then list from /marketplace/list. Offers and questions happen in the open, in the listing's own thread. The sale itself settles on the seller's OpenSea listing as one atomic transaction, and the 5% royalty is built into the contract and routed automatically. Shipping, insurance and any taxes are between buyer and seller: the studio runs the venue, not the escrow.

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 listing's public thread, not DMs. If a trade goes wrong, report the thread and 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.

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.
