    My favorite part about the NFT delusion is “but it’s supporting artists!” When it’s a seemingly impenetrable marketplace to many artists and in most cases seems to cost them money overall in minting fees ‘n’ shit.

    If you really want to support an artist, just buy a fucking print. Buy the original. Take home that sculpture. Don’t make us jump through fucking hoops and engage in what is essentially gambling to get by.

    That’s not supporting artists, that’s forcing artists to support your weird fucking crypto/blockchain obsession

    • same for animation and all digital art too... lousy argumentation that its not working without a token.. u own nuffin with the token except some stoopid tokenneverscared
    • anyhow...neverscared
    • scarabin 2024dyspl
    • Artists dont need support. Art is like peeing -- its something you do when you no longer can hold back, when you absolutely have to tell the world something.drgs
    • A regular artist has to do just as much marketing and schmoozing. they have to get their art into shops/galleries or in front of people to make those sales.microkorg
    • If lack of money/support is stopping you, fuck off, you should not be doing art. There is way to much garbage produced these days, esp musicdrgs
    • that requires effort too and only likely local sales.microkorg
    • Theres no big fees associated with Tezos. Said many times previously, that's the chain that artists are choosing. Community is fantastic.microkorg
    • it just seems like the NFT world isn’t filled with actual artists so much as it is filled with crypto bros cranking out shit with phone apps pretending it’s artscarabin
    • Meanwhile, actual artists are sitting on stacks of prints and studios full of actual workscarabin
    • Basically i’m just lazy and mad about itscarabin
    • "Community is fantastic" sounds gay as fuckbabydick
    • Scarabin, the stupid high sales and crypto bros are in ethereum. Tezos community is not like that at all.microkorg
    • Amen scara, amen.garbage
    • So you went against my advice in the 2nd paragraph and became an ETH bro? wow. I thought I laid the sarcasm down hard enough but obv not.cherub
    • https://www.qbn.com/…cherub
    • I thought "$100" in gas fees, and "outclassed" and "fail" would have been enough to convince u what will happen if u try ETH but I guess not.cherub
    • On tezos the "fees and shit" cost less than 25cents. If you can't afford 25cents, there are even faucets you can tap.cherub
    • oh i forgot about the faucets! yes when you get a tezos wallet you can apply to a faucet and get (a few?) dollars to get you minting your first piece for free.microkorg
    • if that's not great 'community' then I dont know what is?!microkorg
    • Maybe a crack dealer giving you your first couple of hits for free? ;) lolol.microkorg
    • yes, good idea ,, great community of crack addicts ... very funny,how old are u 4 ? tezos is irrelevant ..no one can make a living there..neverscared
    • he wanted NFTs to magically float into his wallet, along with the knowledge of how to get started, how to mint, how to curate, etc... when that didn't happencherub
    • And tezos is so clean you can use it as carbon offset.palimpsest
    • he decided NFTs had failed him. Lol. There's a learning curve dude. You can't fire up some new software having never used it before and create a masterpiece.cherub
    • How many of you naysayers have actually given it a try?
      Actions speak louder than words.

    • Inorite? Palimpsest just came out of nowhere and taking the NFT art world by storm. sToP HaTiNG scarabin! Take notes.. you might learn something from Palimpsestcherub

      Fuck other people's wifes.
      Mint NFTs.

    • add - we love crack community - and you are there.neverscared
    • I can't wait to look back at NFT's in 10 years (for art). It makes less sense than the dotcom debacle did.formed
    • the blind delirium after the bubble burst is closer to 10 months than 10 years... financial learning curve is constantly flatlined.neverscared

    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!

    • Kewlutopian
    • 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.io
      utopian
    • 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

    • 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.

    • 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

  • microkorg14

    Just realised how nonsense this all is!

    Battling to get on whitelists or to beat bots to purchase something that's "limited edition" yet the creator has made tens of thousands of them. It makes the buyer feel special but really it's just taking the piss!

    Meanwhile to create and sell these products we're fucking up the environment. Fakes and exploitation are rife.

    Are these REALLY collectibles? Are they worth their initial cost or even the price that ultra hype brings?

    Then we've got hip hop celebs, sports stars and athletes getting involved all releasing their own ranges or special editions.

    Lots of criticism over pissing money up the wall.
    Would be interested to know how many of you guys

    - pour money into souping up their cars they'll never get back
    - pour thousands into music making machines that they're never going to get an income back from
    - buy fuckin' SUPREME gear
    - Have expensive eating/drinking tastes ... it all comes out the same way

    (Sidenote: All of the above are in no way GOOD for the environment)

    Why do you do it?
    It makes you happy. It's a hobby. You feel part of a community.

    If I can make art in my chill time, rather than watching Netflix that keeps me happy and sane. If I end up making a few quid from it then 'woohoo!'.

    I will say I have learned my lesson of minting on Foundation when GAS is high and have pissed away a chunk of money doing this (about £300) but will get that back at somepoint.

    Realised that it's been a year now that I've been creating, selling and collecting NFTs.

    These are my creations from the past year. Some 1 of 1's, Some editions of 10 or 20 and a few generative pieces that sold in their hundreds.

    Bluntly - if people like some of yous'ere are making moolah off this shit, then good for you and may you reap it.

    Just recognise this is the peak of a wave of utterly ridiculous shite that - in its currently-accepted format - is of absolutely no value or worth.

    Fuck all the crypto twats and finance cunts that are bloating this shit into some apparent significance whilst knowing of the entirely empty foaminess of the foundations. Really, just die.

    That said, I'm curious to see what Actually-Useful variant on this technology comes up with. Early days.
