<div dir="ltr">Hi Rich and Rob,<div>I have been working on an App dealing with the creation and uploading of digital assets that are subsequently "minted" as NFTs. We initially chose to work with a private blockchain implementation as a fork of Ethereum (per the client's initial request) but eventually opted to migrate to using Polygon for a number of reasons which I can elucidate further if anyone is interested. We launched the app in early beta a couple weeks back and have seen over 12k NFTs minted so far. I believe the market is rich with opportunity but also rife with misconceptions. The opportunity to verify and validate origination of digital and non-digital content through the use of a smart-contract employed on a public ledger is, I agree, an invaluable part of the evolution of the internet. That does not mean that everything created has a special value simply because it is now logged and verified via a blockchain. NFTs are not pet rocks, but a photo of my grandmother is mostly valuable to me because of its sentimental value, not because I can prove it is an original photograph. You wouldn't buy it from me just because it is original.</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone wants to discuss, I'm happy to answer based on our experience as the technology partners in our small slice of this brave new world.</div><div>Thanks</div><div>David</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 4, 2022 at 11:02 AM Rob Laporte via Hidden-discuss <<a href="mailto:hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net">hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

My crypto research took enough time as is and I had to stop at the door of NFTs, so anyone with expertise who replies, please also email me as I have a major art client that might need advising--while I learn too. </div>

<div>Looking for experiences or suggestions on learning more about making,
<br>
selling and buying NFTs<br>
<br>
We had a discussion about Crypto a while back with some spin off <br>
discussions, similar.<br>
<br>
NFTs use crypto however are a process and market to themselves - some <br>
art related with some other angles<br>
<br>
Looking into using NFTs to sell for various options - open to any ideas <br>
or suggestions on learning more.<br>
Also for anyone who want to collaborate on such efforts.<br>
