Thanks for the suggestion, will check out those platforms! Regarding NFTs, are there PoS platforms that people use? Also I am trying to see if there is a way to offer more than just "bragging rights" NFTs, as in something normal people (and not just whales) would actually buy and use.
For example, reference photo packs or other royalty free assets - artists often like those and find them useful, and I would be more than happy to offer them for an affordable price, assuming this pricing model could survive in the current market.
Thanks again and let me know if you'd like to chat here or Discord :)
The discord links to the NFT Showroom and Alien Art Hive are both available in that curation post link. Feel free to hit me up over there anytime or here. My name is the same in both spots ( @castleberry )
As far as PoS... NFT Showroom is built on the second layer of HIVE so you can just roll over some rewards into an account there and you will also get paid in HIVE. There is a little more to it which can be explained more fully in the discord. But it's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. It's super affordable to mint, buy, and sell your NFTs there.
NFT Showroom does have unlockables where you can add files or links accessible by only those that purchase the minted work. There are also two methods for selling the rights with limited distribution or to keep the rights privately yours and they just own the art. I think when people realize how cheap it is to mint, buy, and sell on the HIVE blockchain more artists will migrate on over! Also, once smart contracts are added i think we will probably see more NFT Art platforms on the chain as well.
I think Tezos, or XTZ, has a platform for NFTs as well as Cardano, or ADA, but i am not as familiar with their platforms or options when it comes to minting and such. The NFT market is weird when it comes to the million dollar shit art that gets sold. I guess art is subjective when it comes to value... but the technology providing verifiable provenance is really and truly an incredible gamechanger for the art world.
Sorry for the wall of text again... super excited to have another berry on here! hahaha
