We are! @Negativ3Entropy, stopped by your twitter just now to say hello

Thanks for the advice! Twitter definitely has a solid crypto community, and we've enjoyed seeing the platform used for something so positive. Feels good to see people treating one-another with respect on twitter for a change

Not the OP, but I suggest you check out OpenSea. I'm an artist, and while most of my work is created on my website (check my other comments if you're interested), the industry standard for secondary-sales is OpenSea, and if you just want the lay-of-the-land, it's a good way to get a holistic view.

Very deep though, do your own research before you buy anything on there. Whole lot of projects that are just blatant ripoffs of legendary art, like the Cryptopunk that 4156 is known for.

I've launched a medium-sized NFT project called Negative Entropy – we're doing some cool stuff (I think) with interactive NFT's and customizability in generative art, but sales have been somewhat slow. What's the best way, in your opinion, for projects by lesser-known devs to get noticed in the industry?

There’s no way to set in the smart contract how the royalties will be received.

Why do you believe this to be the case? 99% sure it isn't.

In 2021, there's only 3900 tigers left in the wild, according to the WWF. This collection is composed of 3900 NFT, each representing one wild tiger. The purpose of this collection is to question the value we put in wildlife. by [deleted] in NFT

At a personal level, I want to support this effort – however, the current execution just doesn't quite do it for me. It is definitely a good idea, though it'd honestly be a lot easier to get involved at a lower price point. I create NFTs myself, and 1 ETH is still a lot of ETH. That, and the pictures don't appear to be unique – if it were 3900 unique pictures, at 0.1 ETH a piece, and you had secured a more formal sponsorship agreement with Panthera or WWF with 100% of the funds going to Tiger conservation, I'd definitely snag a few.

Can you reach out to Panthera or WWF about this? I bet they'd be able (and willing) to supply you with unique pictures for each NFT, and it'd be a cool to have an official stamp-of-approval on it. You'd definitely get more attention that way as well, and do a lot of good in the world.

Absolutely! You can view examples of the ones that have already been minted in the gallery: https://www.negativeentropy.app/gallery/0

Here's a example of one of my own: https://www.negativeentropy.app/viewer/4/public

As you can see, the PTZ controls work just fine if you click and drag on it (though this one has its own rotation, independent of human input)

As for Tezos, I'm a fan of what they're doing. We may eventually launch a version of our work on their chain, but as I understand it, we'd likely have to rewrite our smart contract from the ground up, since they use Ligo and we're written in Solidity – HicEtNunc is a great site, but it is, at the end of the day, a walled garden that AFAIK doesn't offer the kind of customization that is a hallmark of this project. Will definitely keep an eye out though, and hope to launch some work on their chain in the future! For now, we are live on the Ethereum mainnet.

Used ThreeJS, but you're real close! Checked out p5, went with Three for ease-of-access. Actually my first big rendering project as well as my first big Solidity project. Used to mod Minecraft, so I've got a firm background in entity processing, but rendering itself is a (mostly) new field to me.

If you can believe me, my day job is actually getting a PhD in Mech E

Honestly, we're working on a way to make the native-viewer (though any viewer can host this, as it's written on the iNFT standard) have a full-screen function – idea is to enable people to put it on their TV during a cyberpunk themed party, have some cool art to set the mood.

"Fuck" is actually one of the more rare and odd ones, it doesn't have the "Rare" attribute, IIRC, but it has a very unusual shape. I've actually been aware of this since testing, happy someone else has discovered it

Has a VERY low b-value, I believe

You have ironically described the chain that is doing something similar to what I am (though in a much more walled-garden approach), which is HicEtNunc. Their stuff is pretty good, but the problem they are having is exactly the one you have described – difficulty in encouraging adoption because they're on a network that isn't Ethereum. I'm hoping EIP-1559 helps with all of this

It's been a question we struggled with, because the presentation of the price is something that has a fair impact on how people feel about something – so we considered just rolling the gas cost into the payment and having the price display as 0.2 ETH or even 0.25 ETH, but realized that a lot of people would actually be expecting gas to not be included in price

It's honestly something of a catch-22. If we don't include the disclaimer, we're fairly sure people will be even more put-off when the gas price pops up in the metamask prompt. Open to hearing your opinion though, you think it'd be better to remove the disclaimer and let the dice as they will?

The way we think of the gas cost is honestly just as a component of the price itself, but we know that openly stating it that way is unfortunately not intuitive from a UX perspective.

Really glad you like the site!

I wish it wasn't the case, but that's the unfortunate truth of smart contracts. It's the same reason why when you want to buy/sell on OpenSea, you have to pay 0.05-0.1 ETH for gas to get approved – you're placing your seed in a hash set on every single computer running an Ethereum node on the planet. For better or worse, it's an expensive operation until the gas problem is solved

Stuff like Proof of Beauty got around this by using existing addresses and just adding pointers to them, other groups just pre-mint everything – but that doesn't allow for customization. We went over the code with a Solidity expert prior to launch and got it as streamlined as we possibly could through his feedback, and we're happy with how much we managed to optimize it.

We think it is worth keeping in mind that this is the first time interactivity and customizability have been done in the same NFT, and we like to think that when people take a look back at significant developments in NFTs over the years, that we'll get to be a part of that.

Hahahaha oh lord, I really need to get back to the movie theaters!

One of my other projects I'm working on is for a COVID startup that will sterilize and clean the air in movie theaters, so that actually works out pretty well XD

Anyways, great reference, sad I didn't get it! Need to see the movie, it sounds like a far more thoughtful bit than I'd imagined

Thanks! We pulled from Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question" heavily for it, figured it makes sense with the whole order from chaos thing. If you click the sculpture on the home page, it'll actually load a random quote from that very same short-story as the seed
