Want to Own Melania Trump’s Icy Glare? New NFT Drop Lets You Do Just That
A jpeg of a painting of Melania Trump’s squinting eyes will cost you 1 SOL — nearly $200 at press time- getting this for my son for xmass.neverscared
- She's trying to raise enough $ through NFTs so she can leave the Trumptard. Give her a break ;)microkorg
- from one retarted thing to the next then.neverscared

Minted my second piece of work on FXhash this afternoon.
https://www.fxhash.xyz/generativ…These are some of the generated outputs, alongside the AI portraits that the layers make up.
Unlike my first piece which was completely random, this piece now starts off by creating a composition based on the unique hash of the bought NFT. It will then continue on its merry way to animate randomly and infinitely after a few seconds.
This was an insane experience for me as the piece literally sold out in 2 minutes. I didn't even get a chance to buy some for myself to gift to others at a later date.

- sold any of these yet mate?grafician
- 256 of them sold out in 2 minutes!microkorg
- so you've made around $3k out of these?
how much time you've spent on these?grafician - yes. not sure exactly how long as it's been an on and off project as been crazy busy with work over the past couple of weeks.microkorg
- so if you made just $3k making these and you've spent more than a month, you've made less than minimum wage in the US
Is it art? Hardly.grafician - But good for you man, you've made something, be proudgrafician
- If I was doing freelance design work I'd likely have to work 5 x the hours to earn the same and have to deal with clients.microkorg
- It isn't money for nothing though as I am constantly promoting my work. participating in discord communities etc. Those hours add up too.microkorg
- Why don't you launch also a printed edition?grafician
- I'm not interested in selling these generative works as physical items. I have sent collectors of my works on FND prints of the pieces.microkorg
- ...and I sell tshirts/prints/skate... already under a different guise.microkorg
- "sold any of these yet mate?" I speak failed Romanian. Let me translate. He means: Hey these suck! Did u find any gullible suckers to buy one yet? Never happen.cherub
- The answer you gave, is not the answer he expected.cherub
- Very nice. Is the end product an html5 output like the previous ones? Does the NFT point to an instance of it on IPFS?colab

Jon Hicks found a really cool way to merge the ease of Spotify with the physical."I've been looking for ways to restore some kind of physicality to my digital music collection, and this has led me to create a setup using a square Moo 'album' card with NFC tag sticker, to trigger an iOS shortcut and play an album to an airplay speaker with the least amount of friction."
https://hicks.design/journal/moo…- Quite cool! I am only confused that this is in the NFTs thread. NFC is something different or am I not understanding something?SimonFFM
- maybe so but this is more usefulhans_glib
- What is this, crate digging for ants?mort_
- Mm, i remember seeing this on another website a wee while back and thinking it'd be a great product idea to steal. And yes, very wrong thread, haha :)Nairn

The Web3 Renaissance: A Golden Age for Content
as NFT- that renaissance ... lol , golden age... phew thats some wording.neverscared
- What a bunch of BSgrafician
- ^ thanks for summarizing those 5-10 brainfart notes you usually leave next to these types of posts.
@neverscared haha yeah :Dsted - thanks for posting BS for no reason trying to look like the cool boy in the classgrafician
- and how is it going? it doesn't looks like you're having any success.sted
- having these references makes you look nothing more than somebody who got stuck in its school years.sted

- A fair point, everyone is entitled to their own.
Some may say also that the NFT community and platforms are empowering artists. So yes they may become little...microkorg - ...capitalist arseholes. But I'd far rather have artists making money than galleries being even bigger capitalist assholes and taking half of what an artistmicrokorg

- how can u make that statement micro ?.. with these numbers https://twitter.com/… u love oligarchy systems much?neverscared
- @neverscared how did bitcoin looked like at the start? or eth? or usd$?% :Dsted
- well, how wil lit look in 5 years is a more important question.... nearly worthless absolute likely.neverscared
- u know how it is. .if the exponnential growth fails , the ponzi fails.. and it will be much harder to keep that growth running with higher scale ... at aneverscared
- specific point impossible, there is not enough electricity to scale up.neverscared

- yea, pretty much my entire gallery on DA has been minted. Opensea was being cool about removing them at first, then sprung this bullshit.dopepope
- they're probably overwhelmed with takedown requests, so they've figured out a work around to not be bothered.dopepope
- those bots that steal your posts from twitter and auto-create tshirts and sell them seem like a cute joke next to stealing artwork to mint NFTs...grafician
- as shitty as it is, I don't blame NFT's. My work get stolen & sold on T-shirts, & all over Etsy, & eBay too, & has since the day I started posting it.dopepope
- Caveat emptor.
Artist isn't losing anything, only the mugs not checking authenticity first.Nairn - This sort of shit belies the inherent worthlessness and futility of the entire concept, imho.Nairn
- agreed, this manner of theft seems exponentially more egregious, but it's still just opportunistic ppl being the assholes they are.dopepope
- I had to remove almost all my 3D files from Sketchfab bc of theft. & can't post anything new, lest it be ripped & sold on Etsy, CG Trader, TurboSquid, etc.dopepope

I just got approved as an 'artist' on Async, is anyone else using it? I want to be able to keep a layer of the master artwork and update the PNG in the future once the master artwork has been minted, has anyone got experience with this, is it even possible? Would love to know more.
- If you change the file, you need to mint it again. You're selling the meta data of the file as a NFT, the actual file is free basically and can be savedgrafician
- So new file > new hash > new NFTgrafician
- OK thanks, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, I'm basically trying to figure out how Matt Kane made this: https://async.art/ar…WhiteFace
- Great concept, he has kept control over the final piece using an 'Artist intent' layer which I just don't understand the technicalities of..!WhiteFace
- when I click that "Something went wrong
A server error has occurred"grafician - also ask @microkorg he makes generative NFTs with code, might be what you're after afterallgrafician
- Thanks man, appreciate it. Google Matt Kane's "right place & right time", an interesting idea.WhiteFace
- Congrats on getting accepted on Async. I tried when they first launched but wasn't successful. Yes its an awesome platform, artwork that can evolve!microkorg
- Haven't looked into the technicalities of it but from what I remember a lot of the variables you can implement to your works are already set you don't NEEDmicrokorg
- to do much/any coding, it's just a setting you set when you create that layer? Might be wrong.microkorg
- I'm not coding stuff from scratch btw, I'm building my generative/interacti... pieces in Adobe Animate. So doing some actionscripting butmicrokorg
- the program is doing all the output coding work ;)microkorg
- Thanks microkorg! It looks like an interesting platform, I need to spend some time digging around I'll keep you posted.WhiteFace
- Look forward to seeing what you create! Good luck!microkorg

OK QBN genii...please help educate me.
One of our board members has asked how we could incorporare NFTs into our business model.
So, let's say our platform lists aircraft for sale (it doesn't, but just for argument sake)...individuals and businesses that own these "aircraft" pay us a fee to list on our platform and then anyone can view them online.
Could we somehow create NFTs of these individual listings so that the person or company that lists items could gain some value from?
I really have no clue what I'm talking about here. Just trying not to get left behind!

"OK QBN genii...please help educate me."
Lesson #1:
NFTs are not a get rich quick scheme. Understand that first. It's a tool.How you use it, depends on YOU.
You can be all zoomer-gonna-make-you-rich-overn... or you can take the time to build a brand.
- Not looking at them as a get rich thing...just how they can be incorporated into an offering somehow as a value add.BusterBoy
- Listings of items for sale... is not inherently artistic any more than craigslist ads are artistic. If I understand your business model correctly... you want tocherub
- mint an NFT of each listing? It's possible, but not likely to have much value. If you could somehow gamify or mint an NFT of the airplanes themselves...cherub
- That *could* have some potential. But again, you have to build a brand and have a following. Do craigslist ads have a following?cherub
- Some do, the ones that make it into the "craigslist best of"cherub

- Thanks...makes sense. I don't want to explore the option unless there is some inherently good reason to...BusterBoy
- ^ haha, exactlyformed
- Lesson #0: NFT is another money laundering tool. 99% will be buttfucked, dreaming about a pile of ETH. Understand that first, you cunt.babydick
- Do your own research. Don't follow 'influencers' they likely pumping stuff they have a vested interest in. Make/buy art you like. Have fun.microkorg
- Don't remortgage your house to buy a jpeg. Spend what you can afford to lose. BD is right, projects will crash.microkorg
- Don’t touch nfts unless you have access to a tool like Nansen.ai to analyze the market properly.shapesalad
- If trading them. Else if making nfts, it’s all about marketing them, getting them into influential wallets.shapesalad
- "getting them into influential wallets" lol fuck this shitbabydick
- Chasing for the next punks or apes is gonna end in tears. So many PFP projects now its a joke. You'd have to be crazy lucky to back the next winner.microkorg

This morning at 5:40am my desktop metamask was hacked and drained of all funds and NFTs.
The only thing I did differently was charge a brand new dildo on my computer and installed the app
Still trying to wrap my head around this but I think I was just hacked by a fucking dildo

Two NFT copycats are fighting over which is the real fake Bored Ape Yacht Club
One has made $1.8 million, the other $225,000........

My 12yo brought up a good point/question. What’s to stop people gaming the system by having friends bid outrageous amounts for an nft just to boost the values and increase the prestige of an artist and then just transfer back the funds to your friend?
So all of a sudden people see that artist x has been selling pieces in the 100ks and all subsequent work will be valued as such.
- Do you think galleries don’t do this already to make sure collections are sold out?shellie
- This has basically been the raisin d'etre of NFTs since their inceptionNairn
- Damien Hirst bought everything his first gallery show. So did Bonksy. Same shit different platform.PhanLo
- Lol ok it’s so obvious when you think about it._niko
- even brands do it to enter a market. I recall vitaminwater to tell it on record after they sold the brand to some bigger company.uan
- I think Microsoft did this with their Zune too.monospaced
- You mean what has been happening already? Just look at the $$ trail for that silly $69m piece. An absurd joke.formed
- But damn good PR for everyone but the suckers.formed
- Yes.
https://www.highsnob…grafician - See Damian Hirst and his diamond skull. His team automatically set the price for it with an astronomical first sale. Nothing new.BH26
- nothing. but you can track some of the bigger players using analysis and wallet labelling tools like nansen.aishapesalad

- This is called a "Wash Trade" and it is illegal in regulated markets... in the unregulated crypto wild-west? why wouldn't you?monNom

- Clever 12yo questioning the world! Well, people do this already. And it does get called out by the community. With wallets and transactions being ...microkorg
