Eran Hill's random interactive NFT:
https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/objkt/…
Can make stuff like this:
-
Someone drew in it and then released the drawing as an NFT

- What a depressing time to be alive...Fabricio
- ^ I look at work like yours Fabricio and think of the hours involved in making it and the skill level. Then there's the NFT world.PhanLo
- ...released it at 10 times the cost LOLgrafician
- only moderately less depressing if you own tezoskingsteven
- Oh thanks PhanLo :)
I personally love Eran Hilleli's work. Im a big fan of his, but this weird stuff...Fabricio - I understand that this must be like, testing the waters and etc...but I still feel weird that this is happening you know? But maybe Im just a grumpy old man :)Fabricio
- It's a bit like getting paid for making early 2000's Flash experiments maybe.PhanLo

So I kinda did this.....
It's an idea that's been in my head on the backburner for ages and then when I heard about NFTs and CryptoArt I thought this would be the perfect platform to launch something like this on.
I've designed 24 new tartans, each for a Clan. The clan names, as you can see are Scottish insults. Each clan will only ever have 10 members and each has a reigning Chief.
This is the spiel:
"Scottish insults are brutal yet beautifully poetic and concise. These choice words and phrases are as colourful as our beautiful land, ingrained into the vocabulary and collective consciousness of Scots everywhere. They deserve a greater recognition within our heritage, they deserve their own clans, they deserve their own tartans!"
Have put them on OpenSea as it's the only platform that makes sense for this huge amount of NFT 'minting'.
Would really appreciate any feedback, spreading of the word, sharing of links etc.

So now I've unloaded this idea onto the world it's time to get my artworks up too on a personal account!

- How much did it cost you to mint and publish each item? And are there any Opensea fees for publishing and or fees for selling on their platform?utopian
- There's only one transaction fee needed with OpenSea that's why I went with them for this project. Was about £65.microkorg
- Then they'll take 2.5% per sale I think, I don't pay anything, it comes out of the sale price. They are a good model for this kind of project.microkorg
- All the other platforms I'd have to pay per minting as posting. Would've cost thousands! Lolmicrokorg
- These are great. I had a mind to buy 'Rich Cunt', but I am not that rich of a cunt, sadly. I hope a proper rich cunt finds this and claims it.monNom
- You're awesome. Just wanted to say it.garbage
- Where did you signup for your initial account?
https://metamask.ioutopian - Did you go here next to Connect Your Digital Wallet? https://rarible.comutopian
- Or did you set-up your account and digital wallet all at Opensea?utopian
- Once you have set-up your Opensea account...are you allowed to upload and desk your NFT art on other marketplace websites such as: https://makersplace.…utopian
- If you could provide me/us will the best way of: setting an account, minting, uploading images, etc.. on the Opensea platform that would be fantastic, thanks.utopian
- monNom haha yeah that one was for fun and priced accordingly ;)microkorg
- Utopian, just signed up metamask account and put a couple of hundred quid in it then signed up to OpenSea using that wallet.microkorg
- Everything is free up to the point of minting your first NFT then you get a one-off charge to setup everything. Then after that its all free again...microkorg
- ..with fees coming off final sale not out your pocket. Mind though that theres diff rules for auctions! If you ACCEPT a bid YOU have to pay the GAS fee.microkorg
- You can use same wallet over multiple platforms. SOme platforms it seems talk to each other so can view what NFT assets you have on each platform.microkorg
- Haven't tried it yet but it looks like you can have multiple 'Accounts' in MetaMask which I assume would allow you to create different accounts on OpenSea...microkorg
- ..that are not connected. My plan will be to get some artworks up on there then looking to get on Rarible where you can 'follow' to setup more of a network...microkorg
- ...so more likely folk see my personal artworks. U cant do this with Opensea you need to promote via social etc.microkorg
- Looks like Foundation is the legit one to be on as you need an invite so theres less 'noise' on there and more legit art.microkorg
- So was going to get personal stuff on social and opensea then try to find myself a Foundation invite ;)microkorg
- Thank you Microkong :)utopian
- And thanks for all the Upvotes!!!!microkorg
- What am I buying here ? a jpg ? a unique id ??i_was
- An idea, a concept ?i_was
- Great use of NFT!zaq
- Some good names on there. Really well presented too. Bampot is such an underused word sadly. :-)PhanLo
- Nicely executed. I totally don't get it though.mort_
- If someone buys it, what do they get?monospaced
- They get the NFT and associated jpeg certificate. Is this lost on anyone other than the Scottish know Scottish banter? Lolmicrokorg
- When you buy an NFT you get an NFT.
Upvoted.palimpsest - Some NFT's (JPGs. GIFs, MP4s) also come with the original art work (Hi-res art, the actual painting and or original source files). This depends on the artist.utopian
- Would you download a car?palimpsest
- Would you milk a cat?mort_
- SO BRAVE!Hayoth
- Some of them are very similar to real Scottish clan tartans.

- drgs, at the bottom of the certificates there's a disclaimer. This is a Parody. Any resemblance to an actual clan or tartan is purely coincidental.microkorg
- Nice. Good luck mate.Hayzilla
- ESKEMA3
- This is some form of justice IMO. She's struggled with mental health issues for a while, and this meme is top tier.evilpeacock
- Also it's better that she gets something for it than someone else minting it.evilpeacock
- I think it's fucking awesome.ESKEMA
- Yeah this is awesome for the girl. Was watching her tweets. She was truly dumbfounded as she should be lol.microkorg
- they're all at it. i think bad luck brian sold his own meme for $36k tookingsteven
- What I don't get is, why couldn't anyone have minted her meme before her? Or is it the authenticity of coming from the original source?BaskerviIle
- They could have. Strikes me people are using meme figures to promote a value rationalisation narrative for these things.Nairn

*Spent the money; NFT mysteriously vanishes; of course it turns out to be a novel form of fraud that somehow relates to the Elon Musk cult
- i read this when benn posted it 3 days ago and the big issue was that the buyer had bought a NFT using the collections schema that wasn't compatible with hiskingsteven
- wallet, on top of that the artist decided to see if he could get rich by putting elons name on things and got banned from selling on the marketplace.kingsteven
- but for some reason they take 2000 words to fucking say itkingsteven
- sounds like the elon musk cult to me...neverscared

Thanks for all the positive feedback.
A collector (thats got some clout) had sent me a DM and we got into conversation. He liked idea but suggested I'd priced too high for launch and to reduce prices until there was a buzz.So went and reduced prices and have restricted to 2 memberships per clan available at the moment with more being released in the future.
https://opensea.io/collection/nf…
So memberships now like $40-60 each instead of hundreds. So hopefully more likely folk take a pop.
- Sweet. Nice concept, well executed :)Gnash
- Do you also give them an actual tartan?Beeswax
- Well played. It's nice to see work that takes the medium into account. You are making the most out of this collecting trend.palimpsest
- No actual real tartan. But could give them a vector file they could get made into a tartan I guess ;)microkorg
- Thanks Palimsest. Just need to make my first few sales to get the ball rollingmicrokorg

I got some tez and posted my black hole sun series to hic et nunc,
https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/tz/tz1…
I had been resisting it but I finally gave in because I just kept seeing so much good work there and felt I needed to try it out....It was a bit confusing, especially coming from Known Origin, which is designed to be easy to use, but I have the hang of it....I think.
The main thing is that it is super cheap. Minting is a few cents, so most artists as a rule create editions or 20 or 30 or more. Plus, people sell for less, 1 to 5 tez generally (1 tez=$5). And of course people do that because the environmental concerns are minimal.
So what it enabled me to do is pulled out a glitch gif series from 2019 and mint the whole thing with editions of 30 each. Something I would not do on Known Origin.
- It would be cool to see these animated with some color as well.utopian
- b&w i like! but yes animated.renderedred
- they are animatedfadein11
- oh i see :)renderedred
- I didn't see the amimated gif link at first, these are cool.utopian

Highest Valued Living Painter David Hockney: NFTs are for 'Crooks and Swindlers'
- he's calling Paris Hilton a crook / swindler? that's hot.Krassy
- Says the old guy yelling at the clouds.utopian
- The same thing that art dealers have been doing for over a century. Hoarding art, driving up perceived value and scamming other buyers and collectors.utopian
- Nah. Dealers actually sold art, so in effect this is nothing like NFTs.monospaced

After losing an epic battle with Mark Zuckerberg over ownership of Facebook and being shunned in Silicon Valley, CAMERON and TYLER WINKLEVOSS are back—this time as budding Bitcoin billionaires at the center of the future of money, the creative economy and quite possibly a new operating model for Big Tech itself.

So, I sold my first NFTartan!
Someone bought into the Fart-Box Clan.
https://opensea.io/collection/nf…Anonymous buyer who's got 30+ pieces in their OpenSea collection.
To say I'm over the moon is an understatement!
hopefully the start of the goldrush ;)- Congrats. You made a couple grand with these?NBQ00
- nice! congrats, also nice project!renderedred
- +1fadein11
- $62 on this sale. Was about $67 to setup whole collection on OpenSea so i'm chuffed.microkorg
- But it says you sold 0.3 eth on about each piece? Isn't that more than just $62?NBQ00
- @nbq - 0.03 for that itemfadein11
- https://opensea.io/a…fadein11
- https://www.lamborgh…drgs
- yeah 0.03 = $62
Lambo NOT QUITE on the horizon yet ;)microkorg - Are you advertising it somehow?drgs
- What does the buyer get?monospaced
- the buyer gets a collectible digital tokenESKEMA
- Yeah, I tried to explain it to someone else, but I also got stuck in the "what does the buyer get part". Still don't get it. What do you do w/ a digital token?SimonFFM
- sorry i confused 0.03 with 0.3 and thought you sold them all for 0.3eth. - but wasn't the minting more than $62?NBQ00
- I won't even pretend to fully understand NFT until someone can explain what a buyer gets. Also, non-fungible? The fuck?monospaced
- NBQ00. The minting for WHOLE collection was $67. OpenSea is i think the only platform that allows you to upload for free then % comes out of final sale.microkorg
- But you do have an intitial 'setup' fee to add functionality to make transactions on a collection. so that was 67.microkorg
- Drgs, just got a twitter account and joining in NFT conversations retweets etc to try get in there with community.microkorg
- Finding it quite difficult though. It seems crazy to me that my project which scottish folk and design folk think is a great idea isnt selling like hotcakes...microkorg
- ..yet someone who's copying cyberpunks and putting it through photoshop art filters then selling as 'van gogh cyperpunks' is selling many a day for thousands!microkorg
- so ... what does the buyer get?monospaced
- @micro, if you had a huge social media following and were well known I’m pretty sure you could sell a pic of dog poo for thousands.NBQ00
- Yeah i think the person doing the selling makes a huge difference. How connected you are to the community, how sought after your work is, etc. Gotta build up!mantrakid
- Why can't you buy NFTs with PayPal?drgs
- Chimp1
Is it easy to sell on OpenSea or do you have to put lots of promotional work into it?
- you'll need lots of promoting on social channels especially Twitter.microkorg
- think OpenSea is the BIGGEST platform so there's LOTs of NOISE to compete with.microkorg
- ive been pimping, shilling, liking and sharing on twitter nonstop for a week and got one sale :Pmicrokorg
- Cheers for the advice guysChimp
