    Getting back into using Flash (now Adobe Animate) after and absence of about 20 years. Using it to create interactive works, output as HTML which can then be minted on HicEtNunc.

    Having fun like it's 2001!

    • better update to proccesing or houdini ...neverscared
    • gave proccesing a look but looks too code based for me to use. I can jump right into 'Flash' and crack on. might jump down that rabbit hole at some point tho.microkorg
    • output as HTML wut?
      hell I might have to get back into that
      GuyFawkes
    • You build in Animate using HTML5 canvas and output as HTML file (with associated img folder). Then there's an HTML template you can get from HENmicrokorg
    • to put your code into. Then you just mint it. Super fuckin simple!
      Oh, you need to make sure the zip you upload is a zip of the folder with contents in.
      microkorg
    • NOT just the contents zipped.microkorg
    • Really dig this. Flash lives!PhanLo

    Here's some outputs from the random artwork generator prototype I built on thurs/fri night.

    A the click of a mouse it generates artworks in the style of NFTs I sell on HEN. Each is a completely random composition.

    Initial idea was to mint it as an NFT itself on HEN but now I'm talking to a dev with a goal of potentially folk being able to keep clicking until they get a composition they like then click a mint button to mint it as an NFT on the blockchain. Pretty exciting!

    • *At the click of a mouse...microkorg

    • Despite our difference of opinion on what an NFT is, It's great to somebody working around the concept.palimpsest
    • Yup. ;)
      I wouldnt have to do anything lol.
      If proceeding I'll add more graphic elements to make it even more random.

    • Thanks. Yes, I think doing something different is the key to pushing forward. Getting stuck in an infinite loop of folk creating 10k profile pic cashgrabs...microkorg
    • ...is not doing the 'scene' any favours especially to the outside world who think its all just a pisstake. There are serious artists trying to push boundariesmicrokorg
    • The art generated is beautiful. Well done! But I still don’t understand why anyone would buy an nft. Sorry.monospaced

    • The real question is how many hours of work did it take for her to make that, and is that worth £168 to her.cherub
    • Nah, the question is if that's worth £168 to whoever will buy it. It don't matter how much time she spent on it. There are better ways to make money by the hourpalimpsest

    • @cherub
      Let me break it down for you. So you better understand my first comment. I'm not trying to convince you of anything.
      palimpsest
    • So you can for example, mint a digital music album that the buyer unlocks after purchasing the NFT. Then u mail them their physical CD.cherub
    • For me an NFT is a token, it does not containe the artwork (jpg, gif, video). You can add shit to the sale (not the NFT, the sale) like perfume samples...palimpsest
    • ... but an NFT will remain an NFT.
      It's like putting a picture of a house on a website but what you get is a little piece of paper with the coordinates.
      palimpsest
    • You are not buying the house. They might try to lure you with a brand new mailbox but you are not buying the house.palimpsest
    • What's worse is the coordinates to the house are stored on a website that might be gone the next day.palimpsest
    • I'll say this for the third time on QBN:
      An NFT is a receipt that proves you bought a receipt.
      palimpsest
    • At best you're getting an autograph from "the artist", and I can understand the value in that. But NFT has nothing to do with art and all to do with speculationpalimpsest
    • So neither this gif/animation of the video nor the one on the website are the NFT.palimpsest
    • To a geezer like me it's like the misuse of literally. Ya'll have collectively decided it means the opposite of what it originally meant.palimpsest
    • And as a collective you have given it that new meaning. But I will never accept that new meaning...palimpsest
    • ... specially when there are other words that can serve the purpose of your intended meaning.palimpsest
    • And you can use that for your idea of minting an album. There are already ways to purchase an album digitally.
      An NFT will remain an NFT to me.

    • fair enuffcherub
    • So a couple can upload a silly video and create an NTF of it, and sell the rights for 800 thousand dollars, LOLutopian
    • The whole NFT thing is a joke. It lacks merit, value is overall just a scam. NFTs are just animated GIFs and JPGs that lack quality creative integrity.utopian
    • Why don’t you do it, utopian?NBQ00

    • 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

    NFTs are capitalism gone wild. They're the ugly result of the destructive desire to own things that don't need to be owned, purely for the sake of owning them. They're tech bros planting flags just because they can, and demanding of themselves no further justification, reasoning, or reflection. They're pure unadulterated ego crystallised, digitised, and monetised.

    • Old man yells at cloudnb
    • I don't think they own things just for the sake of owning them. They trade in the goal of getting maximum gains. It's capitalism at its best.palimpsest

    "The real winners of the NFT craze, in fact, may not be the people speculating in NFTs, but the companies and technologies enabling them to speculate. Ether, for instance, is benefiting from its widespread use in NFT transactions, which provides a new real-world application for the cryptocurrency.

    And while some speculators will get rich and others will end up losing money, the companies running the exchanges where these NFTs are traded may well clean up. (Dapper Labs is now raising money at a reported $2 billion valuation.)

    You can make money being a gambler. But in the long run, it’s much safer to be the house."

    NFts pretty much dead ...

    Bitcoin Is More Likely to Hit $10,000 Than $30,000, Survey Finds
    A majority sees Bitcoin tumbling to $10,000 in MLIV survey
    Retail investors are more bearish on crypto than professionals

    Ultimately, the next big run-up is expected by most respondents to be entirely unrelated to cryptocurrencies, with NFTs, the next generation of the internet known as web3 and other blockchain developments seen as having low chances of setting off the next
    frenzy.

    What Is Happening to the People Falling for Crypto and NFTs

    The latest ape sale took place last weekend, and it was a disaster from top to bottom. Huge demand overloaded Ethereum, the open-source blockchain that hosts the Ether cryptocurrency and had been developed to be a more capable crypto system than Bitcoin. The technology’s shortcomings led to thousands of people paying about $180 million collectively in transaction fees. Some appeared to pay more in fees than what they paid for the NFT. They were the lucky ones; some paid steep transaction fees only to see their ape purchases fail for unknown reasons. (Yuga said it has refunded money spent on failed transactions.) Still others suffered various hacking and phishing scams. Meanwhile Yuga, whose backers include some of Silicon Valley’s biggest venture capital firms, generated at least $320 million in sales. Sales of what? Oh, plots of “land” in Otherside, a virtual world that might come out soon.
