Q&A session
1. I don't have Traveloggers, so I can't use the Logbook 2.0?
It's true that Logbook are exclusive to Traveloggers now, but a Logbook can be passed on to another through the gifting feature. That is to say, you can receive a Logbook from someone else, and after writing the text, you can forward this Logbook to the next person.
2. How many editing opportunities does the Logbook have?
Content that has been published cannot be modified. But you can start a second write under the same Logbook and adjust the content.
As long as you are the holder of the Logbook, you have unlimited writing opportunities.
3. Is there a gas fee for using Logbook?
$MATIC is required to successfully send content into Logbook. The cost of $MATIC fluctuates but is generally relatively low. For example,this article with 5 pictures and approximately 2000 words costs the $MATIC equivalent to around 0.02 USD. It is very friendly to creators.
4. How do I trade my Logbook?
After the holder claims the Logbook, he/she can trade and sell the Logbook as an NFT on OpenSea or any platform that supports Polygon.
5. What if after connecting the wallet, I still don’t find any Logbook to claim?
If there are Traveloggers in your Ethereum wallet, and you haven’t claimed a Logbook 2.0, yet Claim doesn’t show the number of logbooks. You can try to reconnect by following the steps below:
- Open the MetaMask wallet button and click Connected on the top left
- When this window pops out, click Disconnect this account
- Click Connect wallet again
- At this point, it will appear that the current network is not supported ( normally, most users have Traveloggers on Ethereum ), please click Switch to Polygon below
- Add Polygon to your wallet
- Try Claim a logbook 2.0 again, and you shall see it!
