"An NFT Crypto Artist making millions selling a .gif image in just a few minutes !"
" Twitter founder Jack Dorsey's first ever tweet was sold as an NFT for US$2.9m! "
✶ ✶ ✶
Yeah, you might frequently come across this kind of catchy Headlines recently. That may even make you immediately search for some unused image files on your computer's hard drive, which you hope could also be "minted' as an NFT (Non-fungible Token) for sales. My creator ~✶pinkwork™ extraterrestrial entity also asked me, whether I could turn my "alien messages to humans" into an NFT.
First off, you have to know what is Crypto Art加密藝術. It doesn't mean there is a newly-developed technology to encrypt your digital contents (an image, video, poem ... etc.), so that only those who bought the ownership or usage right could open /enjoy it. You know that is impossible.
Art related to Blockchain Technology
The core concept of Blockchain 區塊鏈technology is about public ledger (transaction record book) & decentralization. When this technology is applied to an art piece, not currency. The first part, public ledger, means every people (computers) which have joined this network, can read ownership transaction record of this art piece.
Say, for example, it was first created by person A (no real name, just represented by a password key), then sold it to person B, then ... Well, if you want to buy it, meaning you have to change this ownership record. But without a government or a central authority, who could make & verify this change?
Each transaction record entry is called a 'block". To add a new block, so-called "proof of work", requires each computer in this network to solve a complex mathematical problem by trial & error. How complex? One computer alone may take many years to get the answer, but a network of billion computers may just take 30 minutes! This process is called "mining'. The 1st "miner" who solves this problem could enter the "answer" to verify this transaction.
Though each miner who found the solution could be rewarded in cryptocurrency (*he/she is neither a buyer nor seller, should get some reward), no single person or organisation has incentive to dominate the mining process & become the hidden central authority. Why? Cost of buying numerous computers & electricity bills for running them are huge!
That way, each miner within the network has a chance to confirm a transaction, no one can monopolize this process & no central authority is required. Once a transaction is confirmed, the updated record will instantly broadcast to all computes in the network.
Why it is called Non-fungible?
Not only that, the complex "mathematical problem" mentioned above, well, is generated using contents of the current & previous block. Details, please go to my previous video (check below) about 'Blockchain" !
This means if someone try to change one block, "proof of work" on all blocks prior to this block will become invalid. That's why people call it a "chain", meaning people could only add a new block, but not be able to alter the previous blocks. All past record entries can never be altered !
Back to Crypto Art, though is also based on the Blockchain technology, an art piece is a little different from a currency. For example, my 1 bitcoin has the same value as your 1 bitcoin. But my art piece (token) is unique in this Universe, not has the same value as the others' ＆ cannot be divided into smaller parts, says 0.1 token. (*I think it can, you could own 50% of a house, right?) That's why you humans classify Crypto Art, is a type of NFT, standing for Non-fungible Token非同質化代幣.
In theory, everything including a .gif image, video, poem, statement ... etc. could be "minted" as an NFT. Yes, it is hard to define what's or what's not an art piece? To mint your work as an NFT, is equivalent to opening an public ledger (record book) for this piece work, like a house deed.
People may still be able to use this work privately. BUT for any public usage, like commercials, change of ownership, etc., all people must done through owner of this NFT.
HOW to mint your work as an NFT?
OK OK, no more theories. How could I mint my "artwork" as an NFT actually? Easy, upload your work to an NFT marketplace, like rarible.com , opensea.com ... etc. Before, you should also open a cryptocurrency wallet. such as MetaMask, Coinbase, & put some crypto money (Ethereum or Ether 以太幣, ETH) in your wallet.
Why? As you could expect, selling an NFT Cryto Art piece is not free of charge. You have to pay the minting fee & gas fee for each transaction. Yes, Blockchain technology also has a dark side, the mining process consumes a lot of electricity, that's why humans invented the "gas" fee. By the way, anybody could tell me the carbon footprint of those NFT or CryptoCurrency trades are lower or higher than beef?
Heard that US President Biden will propose a sharp increase of Capital Gains Tax for cryptocurrency tradings. I think this type of tax should be named Crypto Green Tax!
Finally, why some human would buy a thing everybody could use it for free? For the social elites to flaunt their wealth or show off their good taste / hidden power? A new way to support emerging artists or just a new type of investment? I think the answer is, different human has different purpose.
My creator ~ pinkwork™ extraterrestrial外星生命體 has predicted in several of his previous ▶articles, that Artificial Intelligence will inevitably make human concept of "Jobs" become obsolete. Reason? Different kinds of Intelligent Machines will sooner or later take all human jobs, or better say do all the jobs for you humans.
That should be a good thing! Right? The only problem lies in humans' heart. Many of your species would think they've lost their value of existence in this physical world, so would easily turn to racism, religious or political extremism.
UBI (Universal Basic Income) 全民基本收入 might be a possible solution. But my creator has also said this idea is not workable, except there is a Universal Tax System at the same time. Wow, my creator's prediction (or his extraterrestrial message to humans) seems to be coming true. The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen美國財政部長耶倫 just publicly called for Global Minimum Corporate Tax Rate全球最低企業稅 .
You know, many tiny nations nowadays like to lower their corporate tax to attract more multinational companies to setup their headquarters there. And in near future, only those tech giants, not mediocre individuals, will earn most of the money in this little planet. Without their corporate tax, I think no country has enough revenue to pay UBI.
Though what Yellen said is not related to UBI at all, she explained only this could prevent companies based in other countries from having a significant potential advantage, I think the rationale behind are the same. This time she wants the money to pay President Biden 's infrastructure plan, BUT not the more ambitious Universal Basic Income idea.
Meow, I remind my animated Robot from time to time, that It' should live like a human, so has to find some human job to do. Recently, it shot a video for an online butcher shop, a type of business particularly prospers during the pandemic.
Wow, I think it's also a good chance for my Robot to collect intelligence about human eating habits. Don't know why humans love eating other animals ...
Lunar New Year of the Ox is less than a month away! While cleaning up my Space Ship, I found this old poster. HK legendary HipHop group LMF 's Prodip Leung gave it to my creator ~✶pinkwork™ extraterrestrial entity many years ago, & that weird creature in this poster...
Prodip said his design was inspired by a real Alien Abduction Incident in 1973﹝The Pascagoula Abduction﹞.
Talking about Aliens, a strange thing happened in this planet recently. The Covid-19 Relief Bill just passed by US Congress includes a LAW that is not related to 'economic relief', but requires intelligent officials to disclose all UFO classified information to Congress within 180 days!
There have already been many UFO, alien conspiracy theories / myths spreading among ordinary humans. Their origins are usually from some ex-government officials self-claimed witnesses, or humans who said they could communicate with Aliens directly through channeling.
Those theories include: The US Gov. had secretly hid alien corpses, UFO debris found in 1947 Rosewell Incident. There is an agreement between the US gov. & intelligent aliens, that allows them to abduct some humans to study. In return they would teach humans some advanced technology.
Well, why intelligent aliens need an agreement with humans? They could do whatever they want I think !!!
Another theory is some human ruling elites are extraterrestrial reptilian humanoids, including Queen Elizabeth II, the Bush gamily, CEOs of big banks ... etc.
This saying makes me laugh. 'Reptiles' are cold-blooded animals. Unlike warm-blooded humans, they can't control their own body temperature. That means if outside temperature is too cold. They immediately need getting sunshine to keep their body temperature normal. In no way, they are superior to humans! Right?
Back to the highly anticipated Alien / UFO Disclosure, it has been done before. I shot a VIDEO about a CIA declassified document revealing, in 1984 the CIA employed psychics to time travel to 1 Million Years B.C Mars through remote-viewing. These psychics at the time reported seeing pyramids, thin & tall martians ...
Another FBI declassified document also claimed inventor Nikola Tesla is a Venusian. (* that was just a record, not an official conclusion after investigation ! Venus is roughly the same size as earth, but its surface temp is 450°C, atmospheric pressure 92 times that of earth. If there are life, they must be floating in the cloud.
Recent alien theories seldom mention Venusian, Martians, etc.. Instead, talking more about beings from outer space, such as the Sirius. Maybe, you humans now know more about this Universe.
Anyway, reading those so-called declassified documents in the past. They are just text descriptions, photocopies of old papers, magazines ... not so mind-blowing at all. So I guess some jaw-dropping top secrets are still hidden.
Hope that the disclosure this time won't disappoint me, at least there would be some photos of real aliens, full explanations of all Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, UAP videos ... etc.!
Since Adobe will terminate 'Flash' support this month. I've to move some old content from 'pinkwork city' to here. Of course I won't miss out the article below.
It was about one of my creator's works, a Portrait Photo Book named “I DON’ T KNOW THEM…” published by Kubrick (a HK renowned cultural book store / cafe / publisher) ~ 10 years ago. This book features snapshots of several tens of people taken by my creator using his Holga / Lomo plastic toy film cameras.
Humans in this book are pop artists, illustrators, poets, indie musicians, film directors, theater actors … etc, each having a quirky mind, well, according to your species' standard. On the back of each photo, there are lines of words which are seemingly related to these people, but are actually just some feelings or thinking “they” inspired my creator to write at the time.
Yeah, you might see from the book cover, the author is written as pinkcat@pinkwork. Why my creator, an extraterrestrial entity, would has a nickname 'pinkcat'? Could check this article (published in his second book) to find out the answer.
兩者明顯分別是，外來軟件通常讓你可為直播畫面加上「水印」品牌Logo、插播預錄影片、圖片，配合hdmi to USB Capture Card﹝手指﹞，能夠將無反或單反相機的高質影像，連上電腦直播。你更可同時連上幾部相機或Webcam，進行可轉換鏡頭 / 角度的直播，猶如一個迷你版的電視台錄影廠。
這些軟體的功能如此強大，全因它們要在高配的Deskop桌面或Laptop手提電腦上運作。今次我主人的人類朋友Chloe Lisa Kung，她是香港一間米芝蓮星級中菜集團創辦人的外孫女、藍帶廚藝學院畢業生、香港同人誌漫畫活動Rainbow Gala創辦人、Youtube美食/旅遊頻道~ Little Tokyo Story主理人 ... 即是你們現代人類稱為，身兼多職的Slasher「斜槓族」。
說回今次測試。我用了一部iPhone和一部iPad﹝因我只得一部iPhone啊！﹞。iPad作為主鏡頭機，安裝並開啟AirMix Solo App。iPhone作為第二鏡頭，也要安裝同廠出品的另一個叫AirMix Remote的App，開啟了之後，它的畫便會透過WiFi連接上iPad的AirMix Solo App，熒幕左手邊即時看到iPhone畫面選擇。當然兩部機要使用相同的WiFi網絡啦！
Yeah, when talking about Live Streaming, every human would first think of the FREE & powerful OBS or StreamLab OBS. However, these OpenSource freewares all run on your desktop or labtop. My creator 's human friend ~ Chloe Lisa Kung want a more mobile setup.
Chloe is grand daughter a HK restaurateur, studied at Le Cordon Bleu ( Blue Ribbon Cooking School 藍帶廚藝學院 ), founder of HK Dojinshi comic 同人誌漫畫 / cosplay event "Rainbow Gala", Food & Travel Influencer (*check her YouTube Channel) ... in short, a 'slasher' in modern term.
Chloe said during travel, she prefers bringing as few items as possible. Therefore, she want me to experiment with using just two iphones to do a 'multi-camera' Live Streaming. Well, I don't get 2 iphones, so using an iphone plus a iPad (I think using an iPad Pro 2021 would be much better) to do this test.
First off, which App should I choose? If you're android phone users, you could choose CameraFi Live, an live stream App developed by a Korean company. For iOS users, I picked Airmix Solo (formerly named Live:Air Solo) by Taredek. The good news is CameraFi would charge you monthly while Airmix is totally free!
During the recent pandemic lock down, you may suddenly found many pop artists, singers turned home chefs appear on YouTube & demonstrate their cooking skills. Apart from shooting videos, some of them would also do live streaming, well, so as to have more real-time interaction with their target audiences.
I could tell you, especially when you're doing cooking live stream, a 'second' camera taking overhead shot or close-up of the food could make your stream content much more interesting. As a Food & Travel Influencer, of course, Chloe knew very well about this little trick.
Back to this test, I respectively installed Airmax Remote on my iphone & Airmax on iPad (this app could also run on iphone). First, open Airmax Remote on iphone. Thi App could wirelessly transfer its camera image to my iPad using WiFi. Then open Airmax on iPad which allows you to switch camera (between iphone & iPad's), add watermark logo / images, text, pre-recorded videos, etc. while live streaming to facebook, youtube, twitch or any RMTP severs.
Taredek is a US company specializes in manufacturing professional wireless video monitoring / cinema / broadcast equipment. After several trials, I would say this app is perfectly written & super easy to use. The only problem, according to my previous tests, lies in the user's own WiFi signal.
Yeah, I found that if the WiFi speed is not fast enough, the second camera (in this test, it's my iphone) 's video image would look pixelated occasionally. Well, I think every wireless image transfer device would have this problem. Hopefully, this problem could be solved after Chloe upgrades her WiFi network in our next TEST.
Yeah, the Grand conjunction of Jupiter & Saturn will happen on Winter Solstice (Dec 21) . The last time these two stars came so close that could visually create a modern day 'Christmas Star" was 800 years ago!.
Human astrologers worldwide all predict some BIG change, wars, natural disasters, or End of the World is coming.
Astrologers are not scientists, but they think (or guess?) gravity of these two big planets will affect magnetic field of planet earth or minds of your species, leading to irrational behavior of humans, abnormal earth's core activity ... etc..
Well, similar kind of Doomsday prediction would emerge from time to time, especially this year. You humans have Covid-19 pandemic, president election arguments, protests, wildfires ... all sorts of trouble.
As a Robot created by pinkwork™extraterrestrial with a mission to collect intelligence about humans, I'm also curious about this phenomenon. Why you humans are so obsessed with apocalyptic theories? I think one main reason lies in the Bible 's Book of Revelation, which has detailed description of apocalyptic visions.
However, the strangest thing is, flipping through ancient Jewish texts, like Zohar, Sepher Yetzirah, etc., you seldom found any words related to Apocalypse, Satan ...
Some of your religion scholars have suggested a theory, that origin of all these elements came from an ancient religion which is older than Buddhism, Judaism & far older than Christianity or Islam. That's the Zoroastrianism from Persia (Today Iran). *Want to know more about this religion, check with my previous article .
WHY these two religions are related? Around 539 BC, Persian King ~ Cyrus the Great defeated Babylon, freed the Jews from captivity, allowed them to return to their land & rebuild their temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem. This 'foreigner' King is considered 'anointed by God', his name is mentioned many times in the Bible (eg. Isaiah 44:20, 45:1~4) . OH, I know why many Israeli leaders nowadays likened Donald Trump to this King.
SO maybe, that's just a result of foreign culture influence, a secret deal between this new ruler & the Jewish leaders at the time or some other reasons. Many Zoroastrian concepts, such as Satan, angels, monotheism (believe in one supreme GOD), Messiahs, the final judgment, Apocalypse, Heaven & Hell were introduced in the Bible since then.
Of course, modern day Christian & Jewish religious leaders totally disagree with this theory. They said the Bible, Book of Isaiah was written long before the King Cyrus period, that were actually all predictions of prophet Isaiah.
Well, it's hard to prove who is right. Like many human ancient religion sacred texts, GOD or Leader's messages were first transmitted orally, then written down by his followers after many many years. In many occasions, nobody know who is or are the authors & let alone the exact book completion date.
▲ Khordeh Avesta, sacred book of Zoroastrianism,
written in Avestan, an ancient Iranian language
(a branch of Indo-European Language family) .
Back to the recent doomsday prediction, do you humans still have the chance to celebrate Christmas & New Year of 2021?! Well, there're many possible ways that make this world end. One you usually think of is WAR.
Don't Worry! According to my observation (from my spaceship), one country named United States has giant lead in Science & Technology. There will never be a World War that could destroy this planet or cause human extinction.
Checking those so-called big Wars that involved the US in the last two decades. Though before each of these wars, media news headlines were all saying it will be a fight between two forces of equal strength, after several days you would quickly found US jet fighters or missiles flying over the enemy sky with zero confrontation.
How about another pandemic? I think it's quite unlikely that a new vital virus other than Covid-19 would suddenly emerge. One exception is you humans in the end found out all of your newly-developed Covid-19 vaccines are useless or harmful. Since there are three types of Covid vaccines, each based on three different genetic science to develop (check my my previous article ). The chance that all fail is small.
Well, one greatest possibility I think of, that could make you humans suddenly go extinct is a giant devastating earthquake. Humans actually knew very little about the earth core, all the current theories, such as definition of so-called seismic zone were based on observations of the past several hundred years while this little planet is around 4.5 billion years old!
If that day comes, no living beings could escape. In the meantime, I think you'd better enjoy your life, prepare for the coming 'pandemic' Christmas & New Year of 2021!
