A cat-themed animated collection, that includes distinguished entertainers and personalities from the crypto house, is reportedly again on schedule after an sudden delay.
Stoner Cats is an NFT collection launched by actress Mila Kunis in partnership with CryptoKitties co-founder Mack Flavelle, CryptoPoops NFT creator Jonathan Howard, and others by way of their latest endeavor Big Head Club. The mission is scheduled to launch at 5:00 PM EST right this moment after a false begin prevented the tokens from dropping on Monday. The mission’s NFTs, which characteristic characters from the present, will permit holders to look at episodes as they’re produced and, at some future level, may permit some type of governance over the studio’s manufacturing selections.
“We are ready for the launch tonight and excited,” Flavelle told Cointelegraph, before going on to acknowledge the difficulties experienced during yesterday’s not-quite-launch:
“People’s time is essentially the most beneficial factor they’ve and we took their time. So I completely perceive their frustration.”

Yesterday, Flavelle told disgruntled cat fans on Discord that “we f–ked it up” after the team found a bug in the underlying art layers which could have affected the project’s NFTs. The group’s Twitter account said it was “working on some tech issues” before eventually announcing the sale would be pushed to Tuesday.
Many crypto users were seemingly frustrated at the delay, with some in Europe and Asia reporting they had stayed up late due to the time zone difference for the project that “failed to mint.”
Despite the issues, the project continues to attract a lot of attention due to the involvement of major celebrities including Mila Kunis, Jane Fonda, Ashton Kutcher, Seth MacFarlane, and Chris Rock. All cast members will reportedly be paid in Ether (ETH), together with Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, who said he would donate his pay for the mission to the SENS Foundation — a non-profit group researching the functions of regenerative medication to growing old.

“I think people are starting to understand it’s not about access to the first piece of content,” said Kutcher in a discussion with Howard today. “It’s about access to the ongoing content that will be created as a result of this.”
The actor added:
“Anybody who’s holding the NFT fundamentally has their own theater. They are the owner of the ticket kiosk for the future.”
There will be 10,420 initial cat NFTs available at a price of 0.35 ETH — roughly $784 at the time of publication. The price of Ether jumped to more than $2,400 yesterday but has since dropped to the $2,200s.
The first episode of Stoner Cats — titled “Stoned Awakening” — is set to premiere on July 29, and will be available to participants of today’s sale.
