Is it better to have a place to discuss only about NFTs?

[Accardo]

A majority of members suggests it should be on the altcoin board, they seem right, but NFTs are arts and this forum love arts, I've seen lots of art contest in the forum. An NFT board will not only be about talking about NFTs but it'll promote the arts contests in the forum. By opening  more opportunities for users who made quality arts in a contest, yet didn't win. That section will educate artists on ways to turn their arts into NFT and also stand a chance of selling them. The board, in my view, would look like a marketplace for every art including art contest. And also open an avenue for NFT investors to feel welcomed in the forum. If everything dwells on the altcoin section, it'll be a hassle for investors to understand or winnow out quality nft threads from other altcoins.

I think an NFT child board is a good idea although I wouldn't know where to put it.

The vast, vast majority of NFTs are based on altcoin chains (ETH, SOL, MATIC, etc.) but there are a few NFTs on Bitcoin as well:

- Ordinals
- Counterparty
- Stacks

Yes, these are all NFTs, which stands for Non Fungible Token (although Counterparty tokens with greater than 1 supply are technically "fungible" by standard crypto definitions).

Maybe it can get added at the same time the Lightning Network gets a sub-board.

Have seen several threads requesting for same, in all of them there was answer that nft threads can be posted in altcoin discussion and thus ends the discussion.

There should be a forum for Bitcoin Ordinals as this is a part of Bitcoin that was recently integrated. The main board being for discussion, and a sub-board for people to promote (or even trade/advertise) their owned Ordinals. NFTs on the other hand are on other blockchains. NFTs do not truly exist on the Bitcoin blockchain, ordinals have just been dubbed as "Bitcoin NFTs" or "NFTs on Bitcoin".

Neither needs a new sub, post about ordinals in Bitcoin discussion section and about rest nfts in altcoin discussion.

Then they are valid requests.

NFT threads that are not Ordinals on the Bitcoin blockchain being posted in Altcoin discussion is not actually discussion. People who have created art, music, etc. should have a place where they can post their NFTs, away from discussion.

Discussion about ordinals should be within its own board because this is a feature that is integrated into Bitcoin. Just like Lightning network should have its own board, and so should Taproot.

Bitcoin ordinals are not the same as NFTs nor are they altcoins. So Bitcoin ordinals should not (in my opinion) be posted in the altcoin discussion section, just as NFTs shouldn't either.

...though if people disagree and think that NFTs and Ordinals are not only the same as each other but are the same as altcoins (wrong) then so be it.

Since ERC-20/same standard tokens on other evm chains and other token-related projects go in the Altcoin Announcements forum, it would be fitting for Non-ordinal NFTs should go as a child-board in the to have their own section as well for personal collections, nft projects, etc. 

To follow the theme of separating Bitcoin blockchain from altcoins/other blockchains, Ordinals would have their own section. Since they are technically a product, an Ordinals board in the Marketplace might be appropriate, where the main board allows people to post their Ordinals while a sub-board called Ordinal Discussion allows people to talk about the technology itself (just as Service Announcements and Service Discussion are boards themselves).

Or, merge the two ideas together and make the board under Altcoin Announcements "Ordinals and NFTs". However, this would limit that board to people posting their project/nft/ordinal and might get cluttered if discussion is allowed too. To solve this, an idea is to put Ordinals, Lightning Network and Taproot as child boards under Development and Technical discussion.

This way you have discussion about the technology themselves in one place, and people promoting their projects/personal nfts in another place.

These are just ideas and there's probably a better way to go about it. One thing is for sure, these are features of Bitcoin and they should have their own place of discussion + place of promotion for those who are creating Ordinals.

I don't think so tbh. All these can be posted in Bitcoin discussion, they aren't having that much posting that they should be having separate board for them.

So if hundreds of artists began to post their Ordinals in the Bitcoin Discussion, that would be okay? I don't believe that it would be. In fact, I think moderators would have a field day deleting the topics. The reason why there has not been much posting is because there is no section for them. If there was, I am sure the section would be embraced. Ordinals are not just important for art/graphics, but also more valuable creations such as music.

On the note of there not being enough posting, there is not much posting in boards like Armory, Mycelium or BitcoinJ either. However, these wallets were all some of the first Bitcoin wallet solutions and therefore have their own board.

I believe that boards need restructuring as a whole. The more that I see suggestions and the more I browse the forum, the more I believe that the forum could be sparked with brand new kinds of discussion if boards were to be reorganized.

Personally, I am not against it but there are several platforms already that are discussing NFTs such as telegram and discord or even twitter. In most cases, it is not important to have discussion in NFTs since they have their alternate coins in which they already have a specific section on this thread, but most of the time they it is a lot popular on social media platforms like facebook so I don't think that is something we need to think hard about. One more thing is that you can also have local discussion on your own local threads regarding popular NFTs on your countries in which you will be probably interested.

In 2021 Logan Paul bought a NFT for $623,000 that is now only worth $10<snip>

Uh huh, yep, got it.  What does any of that have to do with what OP is talking about?

If FP91G weren't a Hero Member, I'd swear his post was AI-generated or something--and his rank doesn't even convince me 100%.

Anyway.  NFTs and the interest in them are dying off from what I hear, though I still keep seeing them mentioned everywhere.  But even if they remained hot, I seriously doubt Theymos would create a new section for them.  Maybe he would, but this has been proposed before (at least a few months ago) and so far he's shown no inclination to do so.  If it's interfering with general discussion in the altcoin section, maybe that's a valid argument, but every section and sub-section dealing with shitcoins is full of shitposts anyway.  There would be very little benefit IMO.

Small correction here - the hype is what's dying off. Meaning less junk is going for ludicrous amounts. Soon, all of that should come to an end (thankfully). The use-case isn't dying off though, it's finding itself. I recently made a post explaining how music is a use-case that is and will likely continue to flourish for NFTs in the future. While right now it seems like an NFT section would be full of seeming garbage, in the future it might very well be a place full of true art, where creative people are sharing truly beautiful creations - whether that be art, music or anything that can be expressed via an Ordinals inscription of an NFT on another blockchain.

I disagree. If there is no section, one can always post his topic in most relevant section, which is Bitcoin discussion for ordinals. If there is lot of interest found for particular subject, then one may think about having separate section.

Is it because NFT has been a trend, then Bitcointalk needs a place that specifically discusses NFT issues? I don't think so. Because another trend will replace the old trend, and that will make the NFT section will definitely lose interest and eventually go to waste.

There are topics that have a multi facets applicable boards where they can best fit in, take a look at the bitcoin ordinals itself, ordinals talks about NFT attached in form of clip arts on bitcoin transactions, then you can choose to bring in this discussion matter on both the altcoins discussion board and the bitcoin discussion board, but we can also decided on the aspect we want to lay much emphasis on while treating this topic which will bow determines the board to post such.
