So the latest crypto grift is non-fungible tokens (NFT) - it's like if you were to take the professional art-world money laundering schemes, and put it on the internet. These pieces are selling for crazy high amounts of money because people are speculating on their value.
I propose we start an art collective to cash in on this. I have the technical knowledge to create and trade these NFTs - but I need unique original works of digital art. It doesn't really even have to be good and it'll sell for hundreds of dollars. This is a unique moment to get in on the grift.
They're traded on sites like: https://opensea.io/
The process of creating a token takes a decent amount of up front money, like $50-$80, but the creator gets the initial sale price + 10% of future sales (depending on the platform). If anyone wants to give it a shot - I'll front everything and manage the technical side, with an agreement that the collective common fund gets a certain percent so we can fund the creation of new tokens for collective members. I wouldn't be taking anything.
I'd think it'd also be cool to donate any excess dues to fund a chapo.chat mutual aid fund, and other causes we agree upon.
It shouldn't be that much if it works like other photo apps that close instantly when it realises the file is corrupted. The file itself is only 52kb. But if it doesn't realise the file is corrupted and tries to process a 738 megapixel corrupted image, then yeah...
