Background and Context
Each week, I'm burning NFTs that I minted on lensy.io - with each week, I'm changing the prices as I go, according to an experimental formula I detail below.
This week's update:
Following two sales last week, I thought that there might be some continued movement. There was none. In fact, there were no other sales on lensy in the period.
Here's some evidence of prior burns:
1, 2, , 3 and 4 for this week.
They're now gone forever. (first week)
Buy my work?
I want to sell my lensy.io NFTs. Here is how I want to do it. Every Friday, Australian time - I will make a post detailing the remaining editions of my NFTs. This is an experiment in art economics and something I want to do to increase the volume of sales on lensy.io to benefit all photographers
- Each week, 1 edition in my ownership will be burnt, whether any editions sell, or not
- The price of remaining NFTs will increase using the following formula:
Current Price DIVIDED by Editions remaining for sale PLUS Current Price
I reserve the right to round up / down to the nearest whole SWAP.HIVE
- This will continue until all NFTs are burnt or 1 edition remains in my ownership
- The final edition in my ownership will remain on sale
- Each week the final edition in my ownership is on sale, it will be reduced in price by the following formula
Current Price less ten percent, until it reaches 10 SWAP.HIVE, or the total cost to mint the series +1 SWAP.HIVE
This final edition will remain on sale until it is no longer in my ownership
I have no control over what collectors do with the editions they purchase. They may try to undercut my rates in order to make a sale, or owners of an existing edition may purchase and burn their own editions to prevent other collectors from getting their hands on it.
I'm interested in seeing what happens.

In conclusion...
I look forward to seeing the outcome of this experiment. I'll make an update post each friday, documenting my further thoughts on how NFTs and the art world continue to intersect, and how it makes me, a content creator, and artist feel.
Already? That went quick. Appreciate you making me a little wealthier.
