Gas is about to explode
--
Weekly Report CW35
With all these boring creatures ready, I have to wait to list them on the OpenSea NFT network. Waiting is pretty boring. But it gets exciting as soon gas prices are going down again. About The Boring Folks:
All made with ♥ to turn boring moments into excitement together ^‿^
Our mood changes from time to time, and so do these creatures change their look. Whenever boredom comes up, pick another frame as your avatar, or trade it.
Their look and shapes are manually crafted with Boring Textures. These are simple analogue grayscale PNG sequences, all hand-picked and photographed. Every creature has its own Boring Texture as DNA that can be unlocked and downloaded by the owner.
Have fun collecting!
So every single creature is connected to one of these animated textures. Actually, the textures made how they look. It’s a displacement map of a surface that create their bodies, so I call it their DNA.
Whenever a person buys a creature on OpenSea as an NFT, they unlock the DNA and get a free download link to the specific files. This comes as a surprise and isn’t mentioned.
But hold on, what is GAS?
GAS is required for the computer power needed to write an NFT into the blockchain. Normally, it is about $35. Currently, it is more than ten times higher at $450. That’s crazy. If this sounds all like ¿WTF are you talking about? — then you should check out Justin Cones post about NFTs and Crypto art.
Justin Cone has a fabulous article about NFTs. I really enjoyed reading it and recommend you to check it out. Even if you are not interested in NFTs, his humour is worth every minute of your time.
Thank you for nothing, iCloud Drive
I’m still working through iCloud Drive issues. Actually, I wanted to publish today a step-by-step guide, how to get your iCloud Drive data out of the hell, to store it in a better place. But this has to wait for next week.
