Dear readers and customers,
we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
If you still are looking for presents, why not support endangered animals this year?
We not only included a cute cheetah Christmas greeting above, we can also provide you a useful website with last minute presents here:
https://aga-artenschutz.de/spendenshop.html?aktionsgemeinschaft-artenschutz-aga-e-v-5.
It’s the same organisation where we support cheetahs. But of course you know this already.
As 2024 comes to an end, so do we. We will plug us off now for a while. See you again some day in January. Try to take it slow and take care. These are difficult times.
Best wishes,
the aethyx staff
Dear readers and customers,
our current times are hard and there will be no excuses. It’s a paradigm shift for our world and especially for our minds. Let’s face it and be real here: it’s not 2000 anymore. We should all have realised this much earlier. And adapted accordingly.
We should know how technology works and what its implications are by now.
Despite this simple logic, under the hood really not much has ever changed.
A computer is still just a computer and there will be no quantum version of it for maybe many more decades.
A smartphone is still a phone but with applications similar found on PCs (or much inferior versions of those).
And AI is still not really AI but just machine learning algorithms which can’t produce anything without human created data.
So what the heck happened? Really!?
In this year 2024 it feels like we are still in the 50s of the 20th century: the Internet didn’t make people smarter – they became more stupid. And more affected by misinformation than ever before.
So what can we do now?
Get active!
Get your independent cloud space!
Or, if you like programming, develop your revolutionary new app to make the difference today!
With AETHYX MEDIAE as your reliable and experienced partner, you can make a difference all by yourself and be part of a better and brighter future, not a darker one.
Drop us a line anytime at info@aethyx.eu. And add subject THANKS24 to get 20% off on all our services until 4th of December.
It can still work out for us. But only if we are working together. If this fails, all that’s left will be damnation. And not by divine powers but all by ourselves.
Take care and all the best

Dear readers and customers,
by the end of this month, we are reaching the end of our very first year of AI art generation. Okay, technically it’s not AI but strict machine learning. But nobody gives a damn out there anyways.
So without further ado, let’s celebrate our most popular creations for the first time and tell you some details about them (click to enlarge):
#5 Atlantis
This is really one of the first ones we ever did, end of August 2022 with the open source tool Stable Diffusion on one of our laptops. The command how we generated it can even be seen publicly on the artwork detail page on Deviantart. We are proud we made it and it aquired 6 fans so far. (Buy it as an adoptable for 9$)
#4 8K Space Odyssey
We were experimenting with the built-in generator tool from Deviantart called “DreamUp”. The biggest difference from what we could create last year is the resolution: 1280x1280px instead of 512x512px here. We didn’t see much of a difference in details or quality. We guess “DreamUp” is built around Stable Diffusion itself as it’s freely available as an open source artwork generator tool. This space odyssey attracted 7 fans so far.
#3 Japanese concept cars in a Japanese cherry tree spring setting I
Another one created with “DeviantArt”s own tool. The prompt is there as well, 7 fans so far.
#2 Japanese concept cars in a Japanese cherry tree spring setting II
Except the cherry tree alley, we think this one of the ugliest ones we ever created, haha! Nevertheless, it’s almost our most popular, attracting 9 fans so far. Same as above, from our five most popular AI art creations, three are currently done by “DreamUp”.
#1 a Neuromancer quote
It honours us that the most popular AI art creation was done by us with our local machine! It’s the visualisation of an original Neuromancer quote: “His eyes were eggs of unstable crystal, vibrating with a frequency whose name was rain and the sound of trains, suddenly sprouting a humming forest of hair-fine glass spines” We and 8 others think this must have been a masterpiece for its prompt. And we won’t complain, as it’s also the only entry here with a comment (Thank you soulcreator789!).
Currently, we are testing out SDXL 1.0 on the exact same machine. Our first experiments look promising, although we want to be honest and admit that a hardware piece from 2019 with 6GB of RAM shows us our current limits very fast. We can’t do hi-res creations, as an example. And one creation with a minimum stepping of 30 iterations takes over 10 minutes for us. So it seems, before we can invest 3,000€-4,000€ to get that 4090 laptop on the market, we have to sell a gazillion of adoptables to really be able to keep up pace with the current industry. Yes, being indie is hard, no doubt about that.
We hope you enjoyed our little artwork excursion today and who knows, if we are still in the AI art creation space next year, we publish another AETHYX MEDIAE artwork ranking entry. 🙂
So long and keep counting those s/it,
your aethyx staff

Dear readers and customers,
information is the currency of the current century. Demand will surpass that of oil soon enough.
As such, we are proud to announce a new product line as of now: we call them splitters!
What is a splitter?
A splitter is:
* an investment report about an NFT project
* inside, we present you on five slides in a compact and readable form if the NFT project you are interested in is worth investing
* available as PPT or PDF. Or both
* unique: you name us the NFT. We do research and analysis about it and put it into those reports
* only 99€/splitter
Why should you trust us?
You mean, despite we are an indie publishing house from inside the EU knowing the web from A to Z since 22 years now? Here’s a quick timeline:
2013/2014: we mine Bitcoin through ASICs
2014: we accept Bitcoin and support it on all our projects
2017: we get our first Ethereum address and start investing in Ether. This cryptocurrency was only worth 500-600€ at that time
2017: we launch https://kryptowiki.eu/, the one and only cryptocurrency wiki for German speaking countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria – 100+ million native speakers here). Bitcoin was worth only 2,237€ at that specific time
Also 2017: we launch https://kryptogeld.io/, a cryptocurrency startup
2018: we launch an Android companion app for Kryptowiki. Same year: we support Ethereum and create open-source projects for it
2019: we observe the NFT market closely via https://opensea.io. We don’t own NFTs yet
2021: we own NFTs. Same year: we sell official merchandise with our NFT artwork
2022: we do splitters and sell them for 99€ per report, so you know if you should invest in an NFT or not. It’s our way to do serious NFT consultancy
Where can I get my splitter?
It’s easy, as always: just hit us up via info@aethyx.eu. Payment is possible via the usual payment methods (PayPal, Bitcoin, Ether, IBAN, etc.).
We’re AETHYX MEDIAE, we’re here to help!
Anything related about the WWW, just drop us a line!
We go ahead while others don’t know what to do!
Stay safe and hope to hear from you soon,

Dear readers and customers,
we are officially back in the merchandising business here at AETHYX MEDIAE! Hee-ho!
We are proudly starting off with our own NFT collection here. Over time this will certainly grow, at the moment we hit 119 articles already. For our future developments, please support us and use the following webshop we provided for your convenient shopping:
Let us present you our current collection in a bit more detail now:
—
 |
CryptoKitties is one of the oldest Web3 games using Blockchain technology but to this date definitely one of the most sophisticated. Our own bred CryptoKitty Count Mugness may not be very rare, it’s at #2004979, but we created it 100% on our own. Nice Goodies: drives a cart(!) and wears the Ethereum logo on its forehead. This kitty will go places for sure! | |
 |
Hashmasks is an amazing living(!) digital art collectible project from Switzerland. This is our first mask we could obtain here. Standing at #5810 it was named by us and is now called Nut after the Egyptian Goddess of the sky. It makes us very proud to be part of this project, so proud we obtained another one this year… | |
 |
…which is this one: Hashmask #15681. Not named yet. Only 16,384 digital portraits were ever produced, making both Hashmask NFTs currently our most rare and valuable. | |
 |
Sometimes we just get stuff for fun and no other reason, so this ape from The Great Ape Society was purchased because… whatever! It reminded us of Raoul Duke from “Fear and Loathing Las Vegas”, played fantastically and hilarously by one of our most favourite actors, Johnny Depp. Obtaining this NFT was thus a no-brainer. If you think it can’t get more hilarious, wait until… | |
 |
…you see this banana weapon! This was actually minted by us for around 50€. We didn’t know what we would get, it was a surprise algorithm. We think it fits perfectly in case, you know, our ape above has to defend his territory in a way some day. Or whatever. | |
 |
Last but not least: our Tokyo Cyberpunk avatar, #3 of only 5,000. Cyberpunk is what us defines the most at AETHYX MEDIAE. And to be honest: most NFTs on the market right now just don’t click with us. So we are proud and very happy to own one from a project which we would have been happily and proudly created ourselves. Which we didn’t, we don’t have a clue how to do NFT art, sorry. |

That’s it for the moment, folks!

Every Cent will be re-invested in the projects we create and maintain here at AETHYX MEDIAE.
