"Metakovan, the mystery Beeple art buyer, and his NFT/DeFi scheme"
https://amycastor.com/2021/03/14…
"The distribution is something to pay attention to. MetaKovan has 59% of all the B20 tokens. Why does he own the majority of tokens? As he explains it, that’s so that no one person can own 100% of all of the B20 tokens—and snatch up all this wonderful artwork for themselves.
What’s interesting is that Beeple, the creator of the artwork, is actually a business partner of MetaKovan’s. He owns 2% of all the B20 tokens. I’m sure there is no conflict of interest here."
- lol, yup, pyramid scheme gonna go "poof"! Cool story, tho.formed
- What a surpriseGnash
- Well, kudos to Beeple for being business-savvy too. The guy is making tons of $$NBQ00
- https://twitter.com/…neverscared
- So there was no need for the Christie's "auction" other than to create publicity because the buyer and seller are at the very least friends if not partnersjonny_quest_lives
- Damn, neverscared. That’s quite something. The guy exposed. Never thought he’d do something like that.NBQ00
- So Beeple punk'd Christie’s, LOLutopian
- I find it amazing that they punk'd that other buyer Justin at the last second LOLgrafician
- It's funny that Beeple in a video interview thought that he was being punk'd with his "unexpected windfall" wink...wink. A Freudian slip, I guess.utopian
- Beeple is the modern day Banksy.utopian
- @utopian Stop it, Banksy is the modern day Banksygrafician
- "Beeple sold an NFT for 42,329 (ETH)" just doesn't get the same headlines I guess.jonny_quest_lives

Looks like Beeple is a bit of a scammer then: https://twitter.com/swordandsnor…
I wonder how often he did stuff like that?
- well he did a new thing every day...I am sure he borrowed general ideas from people...seems like a bullshit controversydkoblesky
- it says in the email it was a tribute to her...don't go there....there is plenty of other stuff to get upset about in this....dkoblesky
- It's called capitalism.utopian
- Now you see that all these crypto bros think they also own the original artwork, not just the NFTs?grafician
- Not to mention tokenizing tweets randomly without any permissions?! Try to get out of that "cancelling" messgrafician
- what dkoblesky saidsted

- borrowing ideas? more like stole geometry...its not only neurons he took but bits and bytes and sold.neverscared

I made some NTFs, but you have to pay a gas fee to have them in market. Its like 120 bucks.

- The prices fluctuate.utopian
- free on openseafadein11
- Is it a one time fee, or every time you post an NFT you have to pay?Raybandana
- one time fee, I paid around $25 then free thereafterfadein11
- it does fluctuate though, the one time fee may be higher than that at the momentfadein11

And here is the counter-argument against NFTs
https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockc…
A choice quote for those looking to do well in this space:
"Put a large price tag on your NFT by buying it from yourself — then write a press release talking about your $100,000 sale, and you’re only out the transaction fee. Journalists who can’t be bothered checking things will write this up without verifying that the buyer is a separate person who exists. Just like the high-end art world!"
- "It’s like a “Certificate of Authenticity” that’s in Comic Sans, and misspelt." LOLgrafician
- Hey kid, that's a great suggestion, I'll try this myself!shapesalad
- umm....who is that guy.....? did he work in the Trump administration?dkoblesky
- sorry....this guy seems like an idiot....not enough time in my life to read his entire screed....dkoblesky
- yep, it's a terribly written 'article'.fadein11
- $100,000? Why not $46,000,000nb
- $69M sounds like a nice round number.monNom

Why NFTs are hard to explain
https://medium.com/@nic__carter/…
"In other words — NFT is a process, rather than a product. To NFT something is to assign it a distinct serial number that lives on a public blockchain. That’s it. ‘NFT’ conveys no additional information about the purpose or nature of the content-being-serialized aside from that."
- drgs4
Utopian, have you registered any NTF-domains?
- https://www.namebase…ESKEMA
- No not yet, I'm trying to get out of the domain name biz.utopian
- milfhunter5
- I still can't believe this but apparently it's true?NBQ00
- What those numbers correspond to:
"In under half a year, one artist’s multi-edition NFTs have a footprint of 260 MWh, 160 tonnes of CO2 emissions."palimpsest - You can't just go posting numbers willy-nilly.palimpsest
- LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! its uuu alot!milfhunter
- 1000000000000000 is also a lot!palimpsest
- It is what it isgrafician
- what bugs me out a little is that designers like gmunk, who pushes shamanism and psychadelic drugs, shamelessly post pictures of nature and say how beautifulneverscared
- the planet is, and then pull out their nft hustle.. isn´t that hypocrisy at its best?neverscared
- Financial profit trumps everything. It's a game changer.palimpsest
- Gmunk is now spamming his twitter with NFT‘s. He just sold some video for $20K.NBQ00
- well, not really, the wildfires will trump everything espeically newly accomplished richness in californianeverscared
- We should all go and hug a tree, say we are sorry, delete our NFTs and put or Apple toys away. Then stick to mud sculptures and drawing in sand with twigs.shapesalad
- Crypto will not survive 2020sdrgs
- Money laundering, speculation, pyramid schemes...
The revolution will not be televised.palimpsest - I like your thinking @shapesaladmilfhunter
- @shapesalad nope, we should wait till the tecnology is mature, proof of stake... timing is important,neverscared
- @shapesalad
It's too hard counting to one thousand so let's get rid of numbers.palimpsest - the trick is not that it uses PoW the trick is basically it's a scam, new users need to put money in so that the older users cash outgrafician
- THEN it's the pow and no, poS not solving anything as that reduces security of the blockchaingrafician
- also if they are waiting for pos, there are already PoS blockchains, nobody uses those, it's just a pretext to delaygrafician
- and no, there will not be an incentive to not use NFTs or crypto in the West, as all the dirty mining and energy loss is in the East mostly Chinagrafician
- remember last time we said "ah it's something far away in Chyna, it won't affect us" it was 1 year ago and it was a global pandemicgrafician
- Ok, I am convinced not to go into NFTs.SimonFFM
- Grafician, same was said when Bitcoin was $10 then $100, then $1000 and so on.NBQ00
- Stop making artists feel guilty!Gnash
- You guys just don’t understand that some sacrifices must be made for new art to flourishGnash
- Not everything is gloom and doom. Plant some basil and you're good. Art finds a way.palimpsest
- Besides, is climate change really man-made? I’m not so sure anymoreGnash
- Gnash has a point. We've created a toxic society were people are afraid of everybody's judgment. Why is it to hard to say "Bitch, I wanna get paid!"?palimpsest
- @Gnash Do we even exist?milfhunter
- that's the spirit, milfGnash
- Gnash getting more converts, preaching the good word!palimpsest
- Is man not part of nature? Is a brick house more artificial than a robin's nest? The current state of nature is the work of nature itself.palimpsest

Just get me my cut.palimpsest - palimpsest, it's not cool using the word Bitch. Ask Continuity.NBQ00
- @NBQ00
What's not cool was being a little bitch about it. Get over it!palimpsest - isn‘t this rather a sign that global capitalism is putting value in art? if the free market shows the way, it means we are putting energy in artistic creations.uan
- I am surprised there isn't more outcry for the energy/heat crypto/nft's produce. At least with other products, they bring some value to the world.formed
- crypto/nft's, not so much, purely based on speculation without anything tangible (well, beyond the energy suck).formed
- " it means we are putting energy in artistic creations."
Literally. ; )palimpsest - Jesus we need Jesus in our lives, let the light in and it'll all be ok.shapesalad

- But it's not NFT's so I don't care. I'm not gonna spend £35, that's way too much. I'd spend $35,000 though if it was NFTs.NBQ00

A few comments about the NFT energy issue. I hate to see all these knee jerk reactions from artists who think they are being responsible by not getting into the NFT scene based on one graphic...and a paper they read part of.....Like most things....it is complex...so do some homework
1. Reading Memo Atkens paper is good....it seems sincere.....but there are a lot of assumptions. It is not science. This is all new. Take it as one piece of information about a complex topic...not as gospel. That is how real scientists act.
2. There are many alternate takes on it. I have read things that say that art NFTs are a fraction of the whole blockchain....so don't just assume that NFTs are destroying the environment....it is not a simplistic issue. Google it...dig deeper...
3. Many smart people are working on this every day because they are aware that there are issues with blockchain and energy usage....ETH 2.0 is massively better and it is coming soon....and so on...
- dkoblesky, how many NFTs have you bought yourself?babydick
- I am not a collector....so what's the issue?dkoblesky
- You don't want to make more money?babydick
- So what are the real numbers?
0.01%palimpsest - post some like on the alternate takes then... the smart people should work out things before the the release it coz otherwise not so smart.neverscared
- so if blockchain is toxic, and nfts are part of it... nfts are not destroying the enviroment... as u are sayin in point 2. that logic seems retarted and aneverscared
- plain fucking brainwash... if blockchain is snapping the planets neck. nfts are too... even the small fraction part can be just the small fraction part , everyneverscared
- body studying weather system(chaos theory) knows that less than small changes can bring massive different endresults.neverscared
- Of course that dude (and other cuckchain fucks) is brainwashed. This is what greed and sheer stupidity gives you.babydick
- All lies. George Soros is behind the NFT smear campaign.palimpsest
- Just Google it!palimpsest

NFT, shit that runs purely on greed and serves no viable social function. Gotta love it. Nothing but positive things would come from shutting this shit down.

Looking for help:
I got my meta mask plugin on chrome and I need to buy some crypto, so that I can pay for the gas fees on open ocean. However, Im totally new and I dont know how to make a wallet, and set all this crap up. I tried using wyre to load the wallet, but because im a Canadian it doesnt work. Anyone know what platform I should use or how to set up my NTF software combination boogie? thank you!
- you can go to coinbase and buy ETH there and then transfer to your wallet. You have to use a debit card or transfer from your bank account....dkoblesky
- no credit card.dkoblesky
- you can DM me on twitter and i will tell you what I know...chatting in here is....difficultdkoblesky
- whats your handle?Raybandana

Do we have any stories yet of people re-selling the NFT’s they purchased and making profit?
So far I see nothing of that. Seems idiots will be stuck with worthless gifs and images.
- i'm kinda ready to drop what i consider 3 pieces of my nicest gif animations - but the "gas" price is at $140 per now - so putting $420 into it - seems a bit ?_me_
- silly for the potential return - but who knows ? right ? - but i dont have a social media presence - not wish one - so its just a punt... maybe come pay day..._me_
- By gas price you mean the minting fee? Is that really that high?NBQ00
- i'll do it as a gift to myself and put a silly price on them and then forget about them..._me_
- as someone said earlier - it fluctuates - its at $125 just now_me_
- ill take a punt when i have $400 to burn_me_
- $400+ minting fee for 3 gifs, Jesus. Yeah you better have a big social media following or nobody will even look at it.NBQ00
- @_me_ what marketplace are you using?fadein11
- looking between opensea and rarible, nifty_me_
- ok, remember with open sea it's a one off fee. you only pay that once. once the collection is set up you can add as many pieces as you like.fadein11
- $140 is high even for that though, I think I paid around $25 to set up collection, the price really jumps around throughout the day though.fadein11
- @fade ---- oooook thank for that info - didnt know that -_me_
- i did likethe idea of putting the tryptic on 3 marketplaces for potential "investors" to find to get the colletion but i'll look at my strategy again...._me_
- loving it tho_me_
- or more like not knowing what i'm doing and drinking absynthe @!_me_
- hehe, enjoy.fadein11

For Rarible and OpenSea you just have to sign up, yeah?
(Open sea you got to be verified)But for Nifty Gateway you got to fill in a bunch of questions and link to a portfolio? Did you?
