    The much cheapness has allowed me to start my own little collection. Something I'd never be able to afford on other platforms !

    It's not great for searching on their site but there's some good third party tools that can help you out - https://github.com/hicetnunc2000…

    The literal only value I can see in NFTs is restricting the dissemination of a digital asset *within a contained and restricted environment* - eg. Something like Second Life, in which case any blockchainnedness is rendered completely irrelevant, as an NFT would need to be signed against a central authority.

    Owning a hash is one thing, proving that hash and making it work usefully, is another.

    • They have a long way to go. Smart contracts seem interesting. Maybe when large screens are superb and cheap, digital artwork will have more clear value.formed
    • M Cuban will be issuing Maverick tickets as NFTs, which seems far more practical than all this hyped, mostly horrific, "art".formed
    • I can *sorta* imagine a highly distributed future based on networked quantum immediacy, but that shit's post-cyber-punk and way beyond relevance now.Nairn

    brutal calculus !

    Non-fungible tokens aren’t a harmless digital fad – they’re a disaster for our planet

    Artists are harnessing NFTs to sell their work but ignoring the vast amount of fossil fuels needed to power them

    thanks guys u are a shame for the discipline keep up the shit work.

    • you're a disgrace to proper research and should change your handle to alwaysscaredESKEMA
    • And 99.999% of these NFT "masterpieces" are garbage.utopian
    • this is a terrible one sided piece. It's discussing one platform it seems. Yes there are issues but this nonsense shouldn't get published.fadein11
    • people seem to dump anything crypto related into the bitcoin net. Weird, especially when it gets published in MSM.fadein11
    • Smart contracts aren't going anywhere, shame they have got soiled in all this NFT hype/nonsense.fadein11
    • why the downvotes? when everybody tells you you're drunk, go the fuck home!grafician
    • there are issues is the lousiest thing and excuse to say to accept a shit teknology... you can just say its a crap product because its not ecofriendly... if uneverscared
    • dont care, you dont care ... i get it.neverscared
    • Eth 2.0 addresses all the issues, coming soon. Eth uses a fraction of bitcoin anyway and NFT's use a small fraction of that. I get the eco issues of course butfadein11
    • this article is so one sided. There are plenty of platfroms that have minimal eco effect. This writer just chose to talk about one I guess.fadein11
    • There are eco nfts on other platforms, I'm big in to carbonswap... But you're right, these artists need a slapkingsteven
    • Yep - the current NFT hype is/was ridiculous. But smart contracts are a great idea with infinite possibilities including for creatives. Huge consulting formsfadein11
    • *firms are already selling blockchain tech to clients. It's not going anywhere however much you may like it to.fadein11
    • My gf will have a go at me for leaving a light on in the house (where I pay for renewable) but thinks nothing of flying to see a gig... Similar hypocrisy,kingsteven
    • It's not just crypto than needs to catch up. And it's actually the Blockchain offering solutions...kingsteven
    • coming soon is just not working out anymore... they should have figured out that before.. otherwise greedy mofus.neverscared
    • Well you could say that about nearly anythingfadein11
    • highly likely u can´t, and it´s not a standard in the operating protocoll but it sure gets expoited by greed...this is were u have to make a difference or notneverscared
    • crypo and Nft does not... same old, same old that´s why it´s so flipping boring.neverscared
    • what's boring is listening to MSM and then going full Karen onlineESKEMA
    • Don't worry, next year when all the corps have bought filled their bags, you'll hear that it's actually good for everything. Then you'll put on your clown maskESKEMA
    • next year when california had the hardest wildfires and drought, no one will be bored in the crypto silicion valley cartel.neverscared
    • yes, crypto is the cause California has firesESKEMA
    • more like part of the problem, just another building block to get closer to the tip towards spiraling out of control to the next level.neverscared

    • but don't ever insult the intelligence of this forum with bullshit about NFTs, crypto or the lot, we're grown men here brografician
    • lolESKEMA
    • just so you know, if anything remotely useful would be going on with crypto, this shit would be ruling the world in a few years (network effect) but nografician

    • look at your fucking arguments, I could copy paste them from twitter from crypto zealots with no brains LOL
      grow the fuck up!
      grafician

    • I'm not the loudest, you are.ESKEMA
    • you post more about it than I doESKEMA
    • If you don't like crypto, stay the fuck away from the threads you nutjob. Go insult people in other threads that you actually likeESKEMA
    • yeah, posting to disprove your sorry ass lame and tired arguments
      Why are you even here, I was dissing that muppet cherub and his lousy comparisons
      grafician
    • oh yes, ofc, because all crypto zealots are a hive mind run by Chinese mining stations on Mars that's why Elon is pissing on you guys /sgrafician
    • I have mad respect if you're posting something solid and useful, your art, your ideas, etc. but zero respect when you shit the bed with cryptografician
    • and the fact that you guys are jumping like kangaroos to fight anybody disproving your "religion" crypto is troublinggrafician
    • you disproved nothing. You insulted me, that's why I jumped inESKEMA
    • some friendly advice: don't bid your reputation on some bullshit tech 100%, because when that fails, nobody will call you again ;)grafician
    • some friendly advice: don't insult people, nobody will call you again ;)ESKEMA

      so where's that trillion? where's that lambo bro?
      grafician
    • copeESKEMA
    • so the fact that you don't even know some basics about the "asset class" you're staking your reputation on, it's silly to say the least...grafician
    • if you really want to succeed, get serious about art and business - and no, your "art experiments" with indicators on tradingview don't count...grafician
    • if only you took the time and learned how to read, then maybe you wouldn't say dumb shit. maybeESKEMA

    Anyone on HEN doing the #HENthousand?

    Lots of artists releasing editions of 10,000 at 1tz each. Unsold will be burned after X hours.

    Here's what I've out up as a #HENthousand mint.

    Unsold burned at 11.59pm (gmt) sunday night.

    • But why?grafician
    • Why what? why take part? why burn? why do art? why try to sell it? why nft?microkorg
    • Congrats on the sales, Microkorg! I can see you've sold plenty of those. Were you online when the massive amount of traffic broke the H=N site on Friday?cherub
    • Not only are NFTs selling, but it overloaded the servers from all the traffic! Lol. Oh, I don't see ur twitter linked on ur H=N profile Micro, u got one?cherub
    • Wasnt on when it broke but heard about it. yeah 22 sales so far so im well chuffed. burning the remaining at midnight GMT tonight. Twitter linked on HEN :)microkorg
    • followed!cherub
    • From that edition, how much did you make in real money?PhanLo
    • @PhanLo, I sold 24 in the end for 1tz each then burned the remaining. So about £40 thereabouts. But it has driven awareness of my work to others and I've sold..microkorg
    • ..other works on the back of it. So over weekend made about £55. From a Jpeg it took me about half an hour to make from sketch assets I had.microkorg
    • Ah decent, cheers for getting back.
      It's good to hear what it was in real money. Glad you made some cash :-)
