Thanks for the feedback so far on Newsletter NFTs, Stackloot, and Twiloot. Along with some praise and mention of related projects, I’ve received three kinds of constructively critical comments:
NFTs are overly technical.
NFTs are expensive.
NFTs have less chance of success for newsletter creators than social tokens or a DAO.
In my view, these are valid critiques. I’d like to respond as best as I can.
I need your help.
I don’t have the time to become as knowledgeable as I’d like regarding NFTs, social tokens, DAOs, and related developments in the crypto universe.
I’m learning. But I don’t have the 10,000 hours (or whatever the number is) to become an expert.
I’ve done some research and thinking. But you will likely have knowledge and perspectives on these subjects that I'm lacking.
Do you have any suggestions or resources regarding:
making NFTs less technically difficult in theory or practice?
buying or selling NFTs at reasonable prices?
subjects related to NFTs such as social tokens and DAOs?
Do you have other comments regarding NFTs or my post?
I'd love to get more into the NFT space, so I'm curious to see if any of the crypto-minting stack writers I kick it with make an appearance here to school both of us!
Hello Scott -- Though I do not practice minting of NFTs as a coder, I have minted a few of my typewritten pages to integrate them within the Cardano ecosystem. The plan is to build a new Library of Alexandria -- tailored for writers, narrators, and virtual reality programmers to receive compensation and royalties for their creative work. All of the work, after NFT minting, is immutable, and through Cardano smart contracts, can lead to royalty compensation for the artist, any time the NFTs are auctioned or resold. It's an extremely exciting proposition for writers. If you could imagine, any page of a book or novel could be minted, and sold to the community, in which the writer receives compensation for the NFT sale, and can pass this asset on to future generations that inherit the creative work.
I believe it would be interesting to do a podcast where I can reveal more details on what I'm planning on accomplishing through NFTs on the Cardano platform. Best discussed over the course of say an hour or so.
No Time to DAO
