Purpose of fundraising

I need support for the implementation of the following project stages: developing a decentralized website with a full description; creating and minting 40 handwritten Turing machine NFTs; establishing and maintaining a Telegram channel and Discord server; and advertising the project.

Detailed description

This Turing machine, inspired by Charles Petzold's "Annotated Turing," calculates the square root of 2 in binary. Hand-drawn in 2017, it emulates Turing's original style. Initially conceived digitally, it transitioned to pen and paper due to symbol limitations. It delves into number theory and computability. Russian mathematicians Andrei Bremzen (R.I.P) and Ilya Shurov remarked on its "infinite" paper use and its nature, which I later learned was an "execution log" - a concept I intuitively grasped during the process. Driven by curiosity, like Turing was to solve Hilbert's 10th problem, I created this. Seven years later, inspired by the interest in educational NFTs, I'm sharing it, preserving its original form and story.
