30
As Adele’s debut album 19 was named by her age, the title of this article shows respect to Adele to some extent. For sure, Adele is my favorite british singer! Today is 23 November, 2021. It is my birthday. Happy 30 to me. In conventional chinese wisdom, it is said ‘三十而立’, which literaturely means that when someone is 30 years ago, it is time for him/her to be a fully independent person, both finacially and mentally. I am not sure whether I have fulfilled this requirement, but hope one day I ...
The LockDown Mark
Everything is becoming ridiculous and the social norms shared with Shanghai citizens are fading now. I want to care but I deeply understand that I am just nobody and my words mean nothing to local governors. From 12th March 2022 to 23rd April 2022, it has not ended up yet. What will happen tomorrow and when will be the release day? Spring is a fabulous season, but it is also full filled with pities.

Another special day. LOL. 2023 marks a fruitful year for me. Canada PR/HK Resident/My first child Leonard… Anyway, Happy birthday to me! Happy 4th anniversary of my marriage! It is a lovely world. I can feel it.
A lazy girl. INTJ.

As you may know, the open-sourced Github project, Hashlips, is widely used for generating NFTs (at least those JPEG/PNG/GIF NFTs). Kudos to Hashlips contributors, you guys strengthened my abilities to take a deep dive into the so-called JEPG summer.
I recommend all degens to experience the Hashlips art engine. It is foolproof and handy. All you need to do are just download the package, install it, and drop your DNA art parts in, then configure the build job, run the job by inputting npm index.js. Done…
If we draw a workflow about how to generate your NFT, it could be:
Define and design the fine arts’ properties.
Such as canvas size (512X512? 1240x1240?2480x2480?), dpi (300?), color palette, genre (cartoon? pixel? etc.), parts (head? shoes? clothes? face? hands? accessories?…), and rarities.
Pick an open-sourced or paid NFT generation tool.
Hashlips art engine. NFT-generator. and so on…
Generate your NFTs.
You may need a little basic knowledge about coding, but do not worry, the user mauals are pretty helpful.

Save your NFTs in IPFS.
Well, it is nothing complicated. Download the IPFS client and install it. Upload your files to IPFS nodes and get Content Identifiers (CIDs).

Mint your NFTs via smart contract.
Yes, you can still choose Hashlips NFT minting app. How considerable Hashlips contributors are!
List NFTs or sell them through the NFT marketplace.
OpeaSea, Rarible, X2Y2, etc.
I own the 0xMonkey#1889. (No offense to this project, I actually like this kind of genre.)

Clearly, NOTHING COMPLICATED in NFT generation techs.
For those Mooned NFT projects, see through the surface, you will discover that all the internal intentions and motivations are marketing-driven. That is to say, your web2 boss is still your web3 boss. It is your curse if you have no doubts.
I don’t mean that joyfulness is less important. It is just not as important as those NFT teams stated.
Let’s go back to the core manifestoes of web 3.
#Open #Data authority #Consensus #Equal opportunity
So, what’s wrong?
OpenSea is not Open.
Data authority is not authorized.
Consensus is concerned.
Equal opportunity is rare.
Vitalik’s journey on blockchain started from his dissatisfaction with the WOW game. Ironically, the NFT summer is still a centralized game controlled by a small group of quasi-web3-deep-state members. You can see these big names (your carved idols) in Cryptopunks, BAYC, Meebits, Eightbit Me, and of course, The Otherside.
The Majority of Web3 product users’ desires and eagernesses to turn the world will only result in an ETH loss. As I twitted before, all NFTs are born to snitch your ETH to Whale’s pockets.
When we call something a GAME, that means, there are game rule-makers who exist in the real world and they will hold an in-game privileged position if they want. Our human society is a long-run big game, from ape (or Homo) to human. The god, prophets, kings and empires, prime ministers, chairmen, and presidents are tangible policy-makers. However, there are still hundreds of intangiable deep-state members.
Well. I am not pessimistic. I still believe web3 is the future.
Let the dust settle and go back to where the ETH origins from - Online games.
Same as its name, owning a BAYC on the blockchain is as same as owning a fancy yacht in the real world. BAYC jpegs have no value, but the ownership of a BAYC is a pass card to get into an upper-class club to exchange first-hand information. That is the essence of rarity.
A smart contract could be used as a covenant. Those who make a deal with the evil will finally eat their backfires.
Keep dancing and playing the ambient music on. The Great Gatsby is still an idol to most web3 users, because he is rich, at least.
