What is the "cursed inscription"? (with engraved nanny-level tutorial)

When I was browsing Twitter today, I found that many people in the Ordinals circle were talking about Cursed Inion (cursed inscription), which seemed to be trending from niche to popularity.

What the hell is that cursed inscription? How to participate? What’s the risk? This article integrates the views and opinions of several Ordinals big Vs, trying to answer the above questions.

The “cursed inscription” came about because there were several bugs and missing functions that caused the Ordinals code to fail to recognize certain inscriptions, so Casey, the founder of Ordinals, proposed the concept of “cursed” inscriptions: Modify Ordinals to recognize the above Currently invalid inscriptions, including retroactive inscriptions in old chunks but treating these new inscriptions as “curses” and assigning them negative inscription numbers. Since they will not receive positive inscription numbers, they will not destroy existing inscription numbers. (This is why the Cursed Glyph is also known as the Negative Glyph.)

**The Ordinals team stated that it will be repaired in a specific block, which means that once it is repaired, the cursed inscription will never be minted. A limited number of cursed inscriptions will continue to exist, but new cursed inscriptions cannot be inscribed afterwards. This is also the narrative basis and rarity of the cursed inscription. **

Twitter KOL @0xAKLabs stated that the current risk is that the cursed (negative number) inscription has not been merged, and it is even possible that the merger will never happen, or the community has some debates about this plan. For now, it appears that the three main developers of the Ordinals protocol (Casey, Rafjaff, and Ordinally) are biased towards supporting it.

In terms of practical operation, since ordinary wallets do not recognize these at present, it is better to use Sparrow Wallet to save the UTXO of the cursed inscription, rather than Unisat or Xverse, etc. These wallets will think that this is an ordinary UTXO, causing users to save in the normal UTXO. A wallet may accidentally spend it as normal Sats in a BTC transaction.
