Non-Fungible Tech Tips - NFT Announcement

[Spotty]

 

We are proud to announce that the Linus Tech Tips forum will be offering iconic forum posts as NFTs in a collection titled "Non-Fungible Tech Tips".

 

The Non-Fungible Tech Tips collection will be released on January 1st 2023 in celebration of the forum's 10th anniversary and will be made up of the top posts on the forum over the past 10 years. The Non-Fungible Tech Tips collection provides us with a unique opportunity to look back on and celebrate the iconic forum posts that made us think, made us laugh, brought us together, as well as some of the most divisive and controversial posts. This collection is not just a celebration of the top posts but a love letter to the community that forums create.

 

For owners of Non-Fungible Tech Tips NFTs the iconic post(s) will be displayed at the top of your forum profile to allow you to show off your collection of Non-Fungible Tech Tips. The forum username of the NFT holder will be displayed alongside the iconic post allowing the NFT holder to be associated with some of the most iconic and memorable posts on the forum. By owning any Non-Fungible Tech Tip NFT you will also receive a unique NFTT badge displayed on your forum profile and alongside your forum posts. Forum posts included in the Non-Fungible Tech Tips collection will be highlighted on the forum with an orange glow.

 

Proceeds from the sale of NFTs part of the Non-Fungible Tech Tips collection will be used to maintain the Linus Tech Tips forum and to ensure the forum can continue to operate for the next 10 years and beyond.

 

 

In light of this announcement we would like to share the first post selected for the Non-Fungible Tech Tips collection is LinusTech's Welcome to the Linus Tech Tips Forum post from 2013. We believe this is a truly iconic post marking the start of the Linus Tech Tips forum and the perfect post to include in the Non-Fungible Tech Tips collection.

 

 

We are also pleased to announce we will be giving away the Welcome to the Linus Tech Tips Forum post, #1 of 69 in the Non-Fungible Tech Tips collection with a current estimated value of 420 ETH.

In order to enter the giveaway share on Twitter which forum post you would like to see as part of the Non-Fungible Tech Tips collection along with the tag #NonFungibleTechTips

The winner will be chosen and announced on January 1st 2023. Please note the winner selected must have at least 5000 followers across all social media platforms.

 

 

We know that it's a little early to be announcing this project since it doesn't release until January 2023 but we ask you be patient with us, we want to take our time to do it right. Today's forum update added a lot of the back-end necessary for the forum integration with the NFTs which allows us to move forward with the project. This is something we've been quietly working on for some time and we're very passionate about bringing this NFT opportunity to our community. We're hoping to get the community involved in this project as much as possible as it is the community which makes the forum. Without you none of this would be possible.  Please share any feedback or suggestions you have.

Thanks for all the work you and the rest of the Floatplane team have put in to making this possible. This would not have been possible without you.

[JohnathonWick]

Big ups to Spotty for leading this movement
Really excited to be a part of this. I can't tell you how many thousands of hours I spent manually minting the NFTs by hand in preparation of this event

A momentous occasion, I suggest you all pour your life savings into the NFTT 

And if you're even a tiny amount unsure, don't be just give us your money and everything will be alright

Thank you! We just couldn't refuse when you said that we would be paid with a Non-Fungible Tech Tips. Also, thank you for keeping this forum safe and alive for the community!

I'll buy them if they have only Comic Sans. No other fonts allowed.

Polygon or mainnet? 

[Jonathon_B]

Absolutely amazing! You are so brave @Spotty

 

I'm sorry that everything has been sluggish with the forum, the NFTT process  just takes so much processing power. Even with every member's computer and phone, it's barely just enough to get done in time for next year.

I'm super glad to see you're as excited for this as I have been! I've been a little worried about how people would receive this news as I know NFTs don't have the greatest reputation, but I really believe that we can do it properly and provide our community a really great opportunity to be involved and to invest in the forum. It's a big relief to see so much positive support for this and I can confidently say this is my proudest moment on the forum to date.

I think everybody is understanding of how much processing power is needed to mint NFTs. Thankfully once the entire NFTT collection is minted the forum should return to normal, after that we should only experience brief forum outages and sluggish behaviour whenever a trade is processed.

[Bombastinator]

Wouldn’t they be nftts then?

[drdrewnatic]

Anyone that sets the sample photo NFT as their cover photo should be banned for life from the forum. We should not have to deal with the toxic disgraceful incompetence of such induviduals in this environment.

[dilpickle]

You could totally do this though.

Unfortunately I’ve never figured out how to do that.

Even if this is just April Fools I want it to be real

[Lightwreather]

Big thanks to @Spotty for leading the forums into the future.

Now where was I? Oh yea, hurr durr NeFTs bad.

[BiotechBen]

[05032-Mendicant-Bias]

You wouldn't mind if I mint the same NFT on seventeen other blockchains? Kidding, It's on the blockchain(s) now, there is no going back  Have fun staying poor!
