Just go for it! Maybe it’s not so lame as you think. Or take inspiration from the author’s epiphany mentioned in the first paragraph : “I carried that image around for the next 20-odd years, too scared to try something that seemed so profou

In some cases it’s difficult to clock the screw, as clocking it would leave it over or under torqued.

Suppose someone scoops the artist’s work and sells their artwork first, without their permission? Eg, I recently saw the “Charlie bit my finger” family will sell an NFT of their video. Is there anything stopping someone else from selling NF

But aside from re-minting it with alterations, you can mint the exact same digital artwork on different NFT platforms, so how do we know which platform is “right”?

Here’s a general issue I don’t yet understand yet for NFT’s. Suppose you take an amazing photo (or create digital artwork), and pack it up as an NFT on platform A using token/blockchain technology Alpha. Alice buys this token, and has

I once linked a video on my YouTube channel in a comment which was a reply to the top comment on a thread. My YouTube channel gets hardly any views, but that one day I got perhaps 100-200 hundred views. But the knock-on effect was great (al
