Hoodlum's Generation 1

The Origins of Hoodlum's

Design Custom Pixel Art

So the design process was..."interesting"... to say the least. You can check out Opensea-Testnet and search for Hoodlums to see all variations I went through before getting to what I felt was/is high quality pixel art work. https://testnets.opensea.io/assets?search[query]=hoodlums

Traits & Rarity

There are 7 different traits that ultimately make a Hoodlum. Some traits are more rare than others & randomly generated using a algorithm I made, to assign rarity weights.

Building A Minting Application for users

So the NFT space is new. There isn't much documentation or "How to Guides" on NFT's. There is basically no real help. The only help was OpenSeas documentation. All the top NFT projects such a CryptoPunks, CyptoSkulls, and BAYC all have the ability for a user to Mint there NFT on there website which shows up on OpenSea, Rareible etc. So I did what any good ethical hacker would do....I reversed engineered there minting function to create my own.

Website Creation

Little did i know..When uploading 8+ versions of Hoodlums on a test network (trying to prefect every little detail of the Hoodlum's) would cause problems.

There are what is known as "NFT scalpers" that watch the test-nets for what potentially could be the next big thing. Once they find what they feel could be a hit....

they scalp the NFT images and then rapidly create lower quality & even complete scams of the project. For this type of crime to work requires the scammers to beat the real project to launch.

So this is why the hoodlum's website, for now is some what lame. It is 100% secure. The minting functionality is audited and verified by third parties.

What is a NFT?

NFT stands for non-fungible token. An NFT transforms a digital file into a digital asset. An NFT token is created and stored on a blockchain (usually Ethereum), serving as proof of ownership and provenance of a specific item. It works like a digital certificate of authenticity that can be easily verified by anyone anywhere in the world on a blockchain.

How do NFTs or non-fungible tokens work?

Non-fungible tokens or NFTs are executed by smart contract blockchains and specialized protocols. The most widely used smart contract blockchain for NFTs is Ethereum.

Ethereum has become the most widely used blockchain when it comes to minting NFTs. This is because the Ethereum blockchain supports a wide range of NFT token standard, including ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-809, ERC-994, ERC- 1201, and ERC-998. The ERC-1155 standard for example allows the creation of fungible tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Other platforms, blockchains and smart contract protocols that also support the creation of NFTs are: Flow, WAX, Tezos and Binance Smart Chain.

When an NFT token is created it stores metadata about a digital file or a valuable item, the most common form is digital art.

The components or details of this NFT token metadata can include the artist or creator of the item, the description of the item, the price, the NFT creation date, the ownership of the item, specifications such as royalties, the transaction history of the asset, the new owner, and the location links of the file representing the NFT usually on the decentralized IPFS (Interplanetary File System) server.

What does it mean to mint NFT?

In simple terms, Minting NFT refers to the process of turning a digital file into a crypto collectible or digital asset on the Ethereum blockchain.

The digital item or file is stored in this decentralized database or distributed ledger forever, and it is impossible to edit, modify, or delete it. As is the process of creating fiat coins, when a manufacturer mints a physical coin, the process of uploading a specific item onto the blockchain is known as “minting”.

Or we can define “NFT Minting” as the process by which your digital art or digital content becomes a part of the Ethereum blockchain. The NFT minting process is Similar to the way metal coins are minted and put into circulation, non-fungible tokens are also “minted” after they are created. This process turns a simple file into a crypto asset easily traded or bought with cryptocurrencies on a digital marketplace without an intermediary.

During the minting process, the creator of the NFT can schedule royalties from every subsequent sale, which will be a commission he can receive whenever his work is sold to another person, or is traded on the secondary market.

How long does it take to mint an NFT?

It is difficult to estimate how long it might take during the process of minting NFTs. But most NFT platforms, tools, and NFT marketplaces make the NFT creation process easy.

By default, the process of creating an account or logging into the major NFT marketplaces is just to install a browser chrome extension called Metamask, which is an Ethereum wallet.

Does minting an NFT cost money?

Yes. Most NFTs and NFT markets are stored and hosted using the smart contracts of the Ethereum blockchain.

Using the Ethereum blockchain (creating NFTs, buying, selling, or transferring an asset at an Ethereum address) has a cost, and that cost is called the “gas fee” or “Gwei”.
