Let's give it a try. Let's mint punk #0, #2890, and #8219 in 2x format:

$ punk --zoom 2 0 2890 8219
# -or-
$ punk -z2 0 2890 8219

And so on.

10 000 More Punks - Unauthorized? No Way?!- Fuck the Establishment - Yes, You Can - Do-It-Yourself - Use Your Own Collections

Use the -f, --file=FILE option to pass along any unauthorized edition. Only make sure all punks are lined-up left-to-right, top-to-bottom in the 24x24 pixel format in the composite image.

Let's try the 10 000 More Punks series housing punks in packs of a hundred each. Let's have a looksie at the first 100 in the series.

Let's mint punk #0, #19, #50, and #89 and let's add an offset of 10000 (to start counting at 10000 instead of 0):

$ punk 0 18 40 88 --file ./more-punks-1.png --offset 10000

printing:

==> reading >./more-punks-1.png<...
     240x240 (height x width)
==> (1/4) minting punk #10000; writing to >./punk-10000.png<...
==> (2/4) minting punk #10018; writing to >./punk-10018.png<...
==> (3/4) minting punk #10040; writing to >./punk-10040.png<...
==> (4/4) minting punk #10040; writing to >./punk-10088.png<...

And voila!

And 4x:

Let's try the second pack - that is, punks 100 to 199 in the series.

Let's mint punk #0, #79, #80, and #90 and let's add an offset of 10100 (to start counting at 10000 plus 100 instead of 0):

$ punk 0 79 80 90 --file ./more-punks-2.png --offset 10100

printing:

==> reading >./more-punks-2.png<...
     240x240 (height x width)
==> (1/4) minting punk #10100; writing to >./punk-10100.png<...
==> (2/4) minting punk #10179; writing to >./punk-10179.png<...
==> (3/4) minting punk #10180; writing to >./punk-10180.png<...
==> (4/4) minting punk #10190; writing to >./punk-10190.png<...

And voila! Super rare - world's first female alien and much more.
