3 things:

1) I do not see "Bits of Change" (Nina Y.) and pwned (Alix Branwyn) on the list when it drops down to select which artwork you are submitting for.

Ok, I'll add it today.

2) How will the differences in print type be handled? Some earlier works were printed on different stock and had rough-cut edges. The edition numbers printed on the border vs the print itself....
     Will the NFTs be different to reflect this?   See 1st picture below. 2 examples of the "Crypto Greensleeves" print

Good question.  Anything we printed previously is a relic of the past.  We won't try to make a print with the rough edges.  I don't know how the market will eventually play out, but it seems like a good strategy for you would be to claim the NFT, then sell the NFT bundled with the rough edged physical.  If you sold the NFT by itself, you invalidate your ability to sell it.

3) How will the edition numbers effect the number of produced NFTs for that particular piece.
     Example: The Halving II shows two different production numbers below the print number.
      Will there be 200 or 400 NFTs for this print?  See 2nd picture below.

There are 400.  You have a misprint.

If you want to transfer ownership, you need to transfer the NFT.  That's it.  The only reason I mentioned optionally including a physical is because some people may want to load the NFT on to the art piece.

Does each respective blockchain for different pieces accept tokens/NFTs?
I know that BTC uses XCP....and Dogecoin also has tokens.

Do these cryptos haven tokens available?
LTC (Litecoin)
PPC (Peercoin)
BCH (BCash)

Also, is there a significance to the BTC symbol being orange or neutral on the middle back of the prints?
I have 2 of the same print, but the back is different:

All the NFTs will be on Ethereum at this point.  The imagery on the art piece is independent of the NFT.  Having said that, it is our goal to allow the NFTs to travel to other chains via bridges.   

We used two different printers to create the CofAs.  It looks like the neutral was just a misprint.

1) Complete this google form for each art piece you have:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdt9FXrbk3EedgsqgcrNVWy2iPNIpUetrwQ3JMZrqyHHHU4IA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Feel free to start this now.  I know this is tedious if you have many pieces, but we need to manually authenticate each art piece.  This process underscores the need for NFTs.  You will need the Ethereum address of your Metamask account that we will whitelist.

2) Mint the NFT.  When the time comes, we will direct you to a page that allows you to mint the NFT. There will be some gas fees associated with the process that are dependent on network congestion. There is no obligation to claim the NFT and there are no plans to expire your claim on the NFT.

If we have more than a few pieces, will it be possilbe to mint all the NFTs at once/one transaction?

No, but it wouldn't save you gas fees anyway unfortunately.   We looked at this.  We even trying patch processing on polygon, then bridging to ethereum.

For me - i wont pay the gas fees to mint anything on ethereum its a waste of funds and in every case I have done so in the past, minting the nft cost more than the art - totally not worth it. Also a shame when something is btc related and then has an eth nft - they really don't go together.

Noted.  It wouldn't make sense to mint something if the NFTs aren't selling for much more.    Eventually, interoperability will allow you to move the NFT around to different blockchains.  It requires us to put the contract on all supporting chains, but it is something we've stated as a future goal.

Everything should be on there now.

Update:


I think I might have come up with a way to ensure that there isn't more than one copy of the same edition number in existence.  

More to come.

[MoparMiningLLC]

As much as it costs to get the NFT, I don't see it as being any sort of value added benefit.

I don't see me signing over a a week's wages just to mint the near 20 pieces I have just to have some jpeg saying I own something I have already owned for quite some time.


To me, physical pieces that have NFT's is just a physical item with an electronic receipt and no one should have to pay for an electronic receipt.

I can now see all but "pwned"

[cryptoart.com]

Fixed.  Thanks!

[cygan]

what about the both error prints 'The Tinkerer ' and 'The Halving'...
they were published in a very small number after all - will there also be matching nfts?

[cryptoart.com]

Reprints will be in the new form.   My advice would be to hang on to it and see what the NFTs are worth.  There is no expiration on claiming your NFT.  Logic says physical errors will be worth more as they become more scarce, but who knows with the NFT market.

[sunnybwoy]

I think solona would be a much better chain to mint on simply because of the eth gas fees & much faster

Hi Cygan,

Do you plan to mint NFTs?  You appear flexible and open to the notion.  I am sitting the fence, mainly because of the minting cost; although the minting fee is not quite as bad as I expected, it's non trivial.  I'd love to hear form you or anyone who is proceeding with minting and how the process goes.  I will likely mint some when time allows but really want to see how things go.  I'm really curious how things will go from here.  The cryptoart.com site has undergone revision again as of a week or so ago.  It appears a community manager is still being sought.  Thanks!

Hi Folks! 

I'm just posting a little note here because I'm sure that I'm not the only one curious how Cryptoart.com is planning to navigate the "cryto-winter" and the seeming shift in (at least those amongst this sub) perceived value of NFTs in general. 

I know that there are several community members who plan to continue with their collecting of Cryptoart.com prints in the physical form.  A few have no desire to mint any NFTs at all, especially using ETH.  I'd love to hear what you all think!

Cheers,
