Welcome to Nahiko's Bookmarks, a careful curation of my favorite posts, straight to your inbox every Thursday !Look, I don't even know how to introduce this week's newsletter. I mean look at that title ?! 👇 🗞 Donald Trump inches from DeathI love how OSINT teams up with Journalism. See how AI was used to trace the bullet's path inches from Trump's head ! (with debatable precision for now) Steven Greenstreet 🐷 @MiddleOfMayhem 3D recreation of President Trump turning his head a split second before the bullet hits him. If even remotely accurate, this is an astounding visual. 125 1:31 • 17 Jul 2024 Not convinced ? Here's another proof of this match made in heaven. Just a few days in, and @samueloakford & @washingtonpost had released this amazing 3D visualization: Samuel Oakford @samueloakford NEW: A @washingtonpost analysis, based on more than 40 videos and photos, satellite imagery and terrain data used to build a 3D model shows how Secret Service countersnipers were likely hindered in their ability to see the shooter at Saturday's Trump rally. 175 2:03 • 17 Jul 2024 🗞 KnownOrigin is shutting downThat's it. After AsyncArt, now KnownOrigin is shutting down. Millions of NFTs, all stored on IPFS. 😭 Let's make it interesting — how about we get @Polymarket to create a bet: "How long will the @KnownOrigin_io IPFS-stored NFTs last?" KnownOrigin.io @KnownOrigin_io After careful consideration and evaluation we can confirm KnownOrigin will continue to wind down it’s on-chain marketplaces & minter (and signpost to secondary marketplaces) over the upcoming weeks. 403 16:09 • 17 Jul 2024 Some of you wonder how it's gonna play out: ✨FrankNFT✨ @frankNFT_eth Interesting to see how this will play out? What will happen to the art? Who will pay for the IPFS accounts? And what platform is next? Welcome to the end of NFT’s KnownOrigin.io @KnownOrigin_io After careful consideration and evaluation we can confirm KnownOrigin will continue to wind down it’s on-chain marketplaces & minter (and signpost to secondary marketplaces) over the upcoming weeks. 18 18:56 • 17 Jul 2024 Here's what's gonna happen: - in 3 months: everything still works - in 2 years: everything still works - in 3 years: IPFS bill unpaid - in 5 years: 99% of NFTs → 404 ERROR: NOT FOUND Lesson: Store your NFTs on-chain!

But what about NFTs ? Could my NFT bags turn me into the next Nathan Rothschild? 🤔 Pro Google Search tip: "Pdf file you legally download because you own a physical version of it" filetype:pdf🤩 Eye CandyLess Assassination, AI and NFTs... More Eye Candy ! by @CorentinBerndu Corentin Bernadou @CorentinBerndu Infinite scroll x Spinner effect, powered by WebGL and shaders 393 19:26 • 12 Jul 2024 🧠 Brain CandyAnd a little Brain Candy ! by @trunarla ˗ˏˋmewtru´ˎ˗ @trunarla Working on something stupid 5,909 20:29 • 16 Jul 2024 As always, I kept the two most interesting tweets for you fam. Enjoy the deep dives ! ❤Illusion-based Image Compression ?Master illusionist @AkiyoshiKitaoka posted an interesting image this week: Akiyoshi Kitaoka @AkiyoshiKitaoka Girl with a Pearl Earring appears to be colored, though this image is a gray-scale one with color lines. (example of color assimilation; not my invention) 446 6:17 • 15 Jul 2024 Why is this interesting? It sparked an idea: a new compression algorithm. Storing color is expensive. Each pixel's color needs 3 infos (e.g., 40% red, 20% blue, 10% green). In contrast, black and white are much more efficient and only need 1 info (e.g., 50% black for one pixel, 20% for another). So, what if we used illusions to compress images? Storing color only every 100 pixels could cut image size by 66% (according to ChatGPT 😭, I'm too dumb to run the numbers). Of course things aren't that simple, but it's an interesting concept I will probably explore further soon.The $100 TheoryTime for some Psychology ! 👀 Nahiko @Nahiiko Interesting results ! will talk about them in today's newsletter Nahiko @Nahiiko I have a theory Would you rather... ? 0 12:28 • 18 Jul 2024 Earlier this week I posted a poll on Twitter asking the following: Would you rather pay $10 for a 1/1000 NFT or $10,000 for a 1/1 NFT ? Well the results are in, and I have to say I'm quite surprised !Ok so here's my theory: The $100 price point is the sweet-spot. Let's look at the numbersPrice$10$100$1,000$10,000Edition Numbers1000100101Poll Result33.8%22.1%15.6%28.6%Voters26171222Potential Revenue$260$1,700$12,000$220,000I think it's an easy choice right ? No ? Ok Ok, you can argue that you won't be able to sell 22 1/1s in one drop, let's say you can't sell more than the corresponding edition number:Potential Revenue$260$1,700$10,000$10,000This is already making 1/10's more interesting ! Now let's assume whoever would buy a 1/10 for $1,000 would also buy below that (without capping):Buyers26+17+12+2217+12+2212+2222Potential Revenue$770$5,100$22,012$220,000and with capping:Buyers26+17+12+2217+12+2212+22 (capped at 10)22 (capped at 1)Potential Revenue$770$5,100$10,000$10,000You can see how close it's getting ! Especially if we start guessing what the final edition number could be at each price (instead of fixing it)Buyers26+17+12+22 = 770(total voters * 10)200 (arbitrary guess)253Price$10$100$1,000$10,000Potential Revenue$7,700$20,000$25,000$30,000Am I tweaking the numbers too much ? Probably, what's your conclusion ? For me, I'm not sure yet, it does seem like the $100 price point holds up, but it does not show up in numbers like I expected. Of course these numbers are all tied to me, and heavily depend on current market configurations, marketing and virality. I'm currently working on releasing my internal analytics tooling which will give much better insights, respond to this email if you're interested in being a beta-tester (both collectors and artists).
