There is already 0.2 or so BCH there from years ago, too. ... and after writing this, the transaction is in my wallet. Very nice. So many digits. Next step, I hope, is get that into eth, to pay gas to opensea, to mint a few drawings I made 5 years ago. Whoahhh! It is going to take some 'gas' to have opensea mint those works. Its complicated. I don't quite get it,…
Quick, my gallery wants an NFT! Part 2. Two days ago my artist friend called to talk about their dealer and preparations for their upcoming 'show', which was it turns out a virtual show, a sort of webinar. Problematic as that might be, for an artist whose constructions often have to be behind ropes, not to protect them from the viewers, but rather the other way 'round, he did have some assets apropos to the show. Still, virtual presentation requires a fair bit of filmography…
Quick! an NFT part 3 Part 2 recap: Two days ago my artist friend called to talk about their dealer. '*oh, and they want me to issue an NFT, because Chrisites is closing the auction on a million dollar one the day after our show, and we want to offer one in the show*'. '*Oh. And the show is in 4 days..*' 2, now. What to mint? How to mint it? Who will mint it? What would it mean to own it? What to mint?…
Money is the opposite of magic. Art is magic. ***"... Money is the opposite of magic. Art is magic. The worlds of art and money are constantly intermingling.

SVG?? Nope. And I can see why. I could put JAVASCRIPT into my SVG, and your browser would be tempted to execute it!! SVG has to be sanitized as thoroughly as any query string you take in. This also explains why the one site where I am posting my SVG art does not let the events in them run. I can't build an animation that emits an end event to be used as a start event for the next animation. They all have to be time based. <svg width="100" height="100"> <circle cx="50"…
