Quit Warns Tyler Hobbs Impersonators Are Promoting Fake QQL Mint

Quit warned that accounts impersonating generative artist Tyler Hobbs were promoting a fake QQL mint, saying one person’s wallet had been drained.

Quit said QQL minting had not reopened and urged collectors not to interact with the accounts. He said another person avoided a wallet drain with Pocket Universe. Holders of existing QQL Mint Passes can still use them to create NFTs; that process is separate from a new public sale.

QQL is a generative art project by Hobbs and Dandelion Mané. Collectors can explore outputs from its algorithm, but they need a Mint Pass to turn a selected output into an official QQL NFT. Each pass can be used once, does not expire and is destroyed after use.

QQL created 999 Mint Passes. A Dutch auction on Sept. 28, 2022, offered 900 of them at a starting price of 50 Ether (ETH).

Counterfeit Mint Pass collections also exist. The official Mint Pass contract is 0xc73B17179Bf0C59cD5860Bb25247D1D1092c1088.
