After the storm, in the mud, do we still have the courage to look up at the starry sky? | NFT Writing Fund Biweekly Report 1107-1120

We stare in the rearview mirror at the present, walking backwards into the future. — Mike Luhan


The "NFT Writing Fund" was launched on April 25th and is about to enter its 34th week. In order to allow more good NFT articles to be seen, #NFT Review and articles in the #NFT tag will be added to the event. At present, there are more than 2,000 articles in the two tags, 547 of which have received more than 0.5 hours of reading time within 7 days of publication, and 400 articles have received support from readers, and the highest matching donation for a single article The record is as high as 2200 Likecoin!

On November 11, the world's second largest cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, declared bankruptcy, as if a blizzard suddenly struck in the cold winter of the market. In the devastation and mud, we slowly reviewed our initial expectations of joining Web3, sorted out our thoughts, took a deep breath—and picked up our own lives again.

Wilde said: "We are all living in the gutter, but there are always people looking up at the stars." After the financial disaster, perhaps what we have to ask is no longer "Who is still looking up at the stars", but to ourselves: "Now that we know ourselves In the mud, do I still have the courage to look up at the starry sky?" This issue of the NFT Fund Weekly has collected some authors' stories of "looking up at the starry sky" in the Web3 world, hoping to give you, who are rebuilding your life after the storm, some companionship, hope, and thinking.

OpenAvatar: a new generation of Web3 DID system by @MetaGravity

The era of the new generation of decentralized Internet (Web3) that is currently emerging...Users can give up the "identity" represented by an address at any time, and can also create a large number of address "identities" at zero cost, which in turn limits this digital identity Application Scenarios... The problem that Web3 DID hopes to solve is to construct a description of a person's identity in the decentralized digital world, so Web3 DID is also called the "identity infrastructure" of Web3 applications.

In the Web3 world, many new concepts are often missed without paying attention. What are DIDs? What is the difference between DID and POP? Is SBT a DID? If you have these questions too, this is an introductory article not to be missed! This article will start with the definition of DID, connect DID with some known Web2 concepts, and take you step by step to understand the development history, main applications, and possible future development directions of DID. Let's learn together!


🦄 Carefully selected themes

01 "Let's go backwards and step into the future together" by @豆粉

No one can control the writing of people in the future, but we can organize the materials well and write stories that can be sung now. The cyclical time of history is severely collapsing. Just being able to find the published articles from 2002 now makes me fall into infinite fascination. Not to mention that in the world of NFT, all digital creations are 100% authentic and lead to the future.

What is the price of being a trailblazer? In addition to being "high and few", and having to endure the loneliness and hardship of pioneering, one must also accept the uncertainty of "being evaluated". Every right choice and every mistake made by the pioneers will become the raw material for future generations to look back on history.

It may be difficult for us in the present to perceive the weight of different moments in history. And no matter whether we are popular in the currency circle today, or we have created a forward-looking citizen empowerment project like g0v , we cannot predict in advance how future generations will write us into history. But some things are certain, as long as we keep trying and developing, our traces will remain in the Web3 world forever, quietly waiting for future visits.


02 Cryptocurrency | My Dream NFT Call for Papers: DID and NFT, I want them all! by @Daisy

DID is to use an unchangeable blockchain to record digital identities. It can be recorded as small as what books you read and what you watch on Netflix, as large as what merits you have worked there. Of course, this record should be real-named or anonymous, and it is all up to the parties to decide. And at every moment, different aspects of this DID can be used for different levels and provided on demand.

If DID and NFT can be combined, when we pass business cards to each other, will we just give each other an NFT? How much information to have on the NFT is up to the parties concerned, but all the above information is guaranteed to be true because of DID. Daisy's dream may seem greedy, but if it comes true, it feels like a very romantic thing. At least, when we handed out the business cards of DID+NFT, we all sincerely exposed a part of ourselves, and we all promised to show so much "truth" to each other.


03My dream NFT|Integrating NFT into the future of life by @亜希

Therefore, I boldly imagine that if it is possible to issue vaccination certificate NFT (or similar to POAP), it can be ensured and verified whether the issuing address is a medical unit, and illegal transactions can be traced through the public nature of NFT transactions on the blockchain. This is used as the proof of vaccination required for entry and exit and entry and exit of specific venues.

Can NFT be more "invisible" in life? In other words, can NFT become more "insensitive" in life? As the author mentioned, you can collect its NFT when you see a painting you like when you see an exhibition, or you can choose to own its text NFT immediately when you encounter a book you like when you visit a bookstore. Or, after the NFT is bound to a personal identity, it can replace some existing identity credentials, and on a fully open blockchain, everyone's trajectory can be traced.


04 Endless bookstore - a very insignificant little story by @野人

After writing NFT, it returned to its original form: free casting, free sale, and low-cost registration of copyright. So someone took the opportunity to develop an easy-to-use software that integrates writing, casting and reading. At the same time, an NFT writing bookstore with a focus on social attributes was opened, where people can create, cast, and buy. Like European street cafes, people don’t come here for a cup of coffee that costs one yuan, but for a more elegant exchange. .

A short story with a touch of "dystopia". The author seems to have a very contradictory attitude towards the changes that writing NFT will bring: on the one hand, he believes that this form can give readers and creators greater autonomy, but at the same time, he is worried that a large number of homogeneous and repetitive works will make The "bad money" in the work market drives out the "good money", and I also worry that the form will eventually override the content. What is particularly interesting is that the plots of this novel are separated in the form of token contract addresses, coupled with broken and intermittent dialogues, it feels as if we have really arrived in a futuristic but weird world, it is worth reading~


🎉 Extra included
