metamask-extension VS hicetnunc

Plenty of projects are source-available, but not open source, and get tons of issues, and even contributions (https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension off the top of my head)

You can create an attestation based on an existing schema or create your own. Schemas define the format in which attestations will be made, and in this case, we will use the Is Human schema to attest that the owner of a certain address is human. For this example, you only need to connect your Metamask wallet (or any wallet) to Scroll Sepolia, then enter the address you want to attest and click Make attestation. You can choose whether you want the off-chain attestation, i.e., free, obtained only by signing a transaction. Alternatively, you can choose to make it on-chain and pay for the transaction to make it public and connect it to smart contract logic. In this case, you will need to obtain funds in Scroll Sepolia through a Scroll Sepolia Faucet.

For this tutorial you will need Metamask or other wallet of your choice, with Scroll Sepolia funds that you can get from a Sepolia faucet and then bridge them to L2 using the Scroll Sepolia bridge. Alternatively, you can use a Scroll Sepolia Faucet to get funds directly on L2.

16) Open Metamask app. In this instruction we will use Metamask extension for Chrome browser.

> I get a 3-5 sec lag on launch [0] as it prepares the browser to block ads.

uBO is typically ready in a fraction of second, so "3-5 sec" is not normal. In Firefox all extensions sit in the same process, so it's possible another extension is preventing uBO to be ready in a timely manner, this has happened[1].

That’s where the Form xChange open source tool comes in. It gives you the ability to easily create and use feedback forms on Web3. And it’s pretty easy to implement and use. The solution connects to a MetaMask wallet (which users most likely already have) and allows application users to vote anonymously using one or more forms — with each form allowing for multiple questions.

Creators/Artists mints let's say 100 editions. Then the creator lists as many items as the want to sell on the platform -maybe 95 keeping 5 to give to friends. They also then choose a list price 1tez. These are 2 'transactions' on the blockchain. Minting creates the nft and it shows up in the creators wallet and Swapping(selling) which moves the token from the wallet to the storefront where it can be purchased. If the creator sells only 5, they can choose to 'burn' the remaining 90 to bring the total editions down to 10. A burn wallet is an address to which no one has the keys or access so it's a blockchain black hole. Reducing the editions line this can be a way to reward buyers of the artwork by making it more scarce hence increasing it's future perceived value. Collectors have the next set of controls by setting 'floors' on the secondary/resale market. This is speculative and varies wildly from project to project and artist to artist. Auctions aren't supported on hicetnunc but there are sites that have created alternative front-ends like objkt.com(not directly related to H=N) which redirect to hicetnunc for minting, but have a special 'auction' contract they've created that allows for creators (and collectors) to run auctions that behave in ways you described. Here is the general guidebook that may help https://github.com/hicetnunc2000/hicetnunc/wiki/General

If you haven't already, try unsync then resync after any changes you may have made. Reach out in the HEN discord if you are still having problems. https://github.com/hicetnunc2000/hicetnunc/wiki/Edit-your-profile

Someone mentioned hicetnunc.xyz here, so I went and took a look at their FAQ. I thought this was interesting[1]:

> To make it easier for buyers, please leave a trace to any social profile or website in the description of your artwork, so potential buyers can validate the authenticity. If you can link the NFTs the artist is advertising on the profile with the NFTs on Hicetnunc, you can assume it is legit.

So NFT markets are relying on third party social media sites to prove authenticity. And I suppose artists would rely on the government an actual copywright law if they wanted to enforce anything.
