Statement

Credits is an artwork made from acts of trust.

Each eligible $8 payment through X Money becomes one Credit.

Each Credit is a complete artwork.

Its transaction ID is hashed into 256 bits.

256 bits become four 8 × 8 grids: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.

The payment timestamp selects which layers show.

Each 8 in the X Money transaction ID registers visually.

Collect Credits, or burn 80 to make a Statement.
