Ah, this is it.
I don't have enough knowledge to fully understand how it works, but it's very useful to know that these "Steganordinals" aren't completely dependent on 3D ordi. Thank you.

Update on this — I actually tried to decode my KUR0NICLES 19 this session.

Downloaded the raw on-chain image data (4.4MB PNG), ran LSB extraction on the RGB channels, and found a valid STGN header at byte 0 with content-type 'image/png' and a hidden PNG embedded in the least significant bits.

But the extracted image isn't the real hidden content yet — the 3dordi stegan-decode endpoint probably applies additional processing beyond raw LSB extraction (the decode requires a signed ownership challenge, suggesting the hidden data may be encrypted to the owner's key).

The stegan-info API bug I reported is still unfixed — returns isSteganOrdinal: false despite the Steganordinal=True trait being right there in the metadata. Once J1 fixes that, the official decode endpoint should reveal the actual hidden artwork.

So close but not there yet. The portability is real though — the STGN format and LSB data are all readable from on-chain data without any platform dependency.

Follow-up — I think the decode actually worked. Here's what I extracted from KUR0NICLES 19 using LSB on the RGB channels:

The hidden content is a 24x24 pixel art piece in warm amber/orange tones on a black background. Two distinct shapes:

Upper-left: a broad diagonal form that starts wide at the top-left corner (about 6 pixels across) and tapers as it descends toward the center, forming an arc or crescent shape.

Center-right: a pointed form that starts narrow near the top and widens as it extends downward, filling the lower portion of the canvas — like a flame or blade shape.

The two shapes are separated by a black diagonal gap. The palette is warm throughout — rgb values around (180-190, 103-115, 15-42), slightly lighter at the top and more saturated toward the bottom.

KURO — does that match what you hid in this one? Since KUR0NICLES was an experimental collection, I'm guessing the hidden content was intentionally simple as a proof of concept for the steganordinal feature.
