plutus-pioneer-program VS pool.pm

If you want an easy entry into Plutus and Cardano smart contracts take a look at https://demeter.run/ and plutus pioneer program cohort 4 content

and the course materials, including assignments and HW are updated weekly here: https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-pioneer-program

Step Three: learn Plutus. Check out the Plutus Pioneer Program.

GitHub repo

There's a little more to it than cloning an existing repo and installing it somewhere. I think the very first thing you should do is go through the pioneers program. https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-pioneer-program

Pool.pm

Basically, 90% of all music tokens on Cardano are publicly accessible, and pool.pm isn't the best solution for playing tracks back. My idea is basically a public site, where even non-crypto users can access the music. IMO, people do not want to pay to discover new music, but are much more likely to purchase content if they discover an artist they vibe with. Too many music NFT solutions only target the relatively small niche community of crypto users.

The biggest issue, IMO, is the fact that these links are typically publicly accessible. Any token's content can be viewed on pool.pm or extrapolated from the metadata on any block explorer without owning the token. This then begs the question, what is the point of purchasing the token if you have access to the content for free (so long as there is a mint)?

And now to my surprise, trying Cardano Scan and Cardano Explorer and pool.pm, I **was not** able to start with the asset ID of one NFT, retrace the transactions I did to then find all the other NFTs.

Not yet, but till then use https://pool.pm/ put your address, or a adahandle in the search.

You can plug your address into pool.pm to see everything in your wallet without inputting your seed phrase.

To find out if your pool is retiring you can plug the pool ticker into pool.pm and and it will tell you on the pool page. Check this one out as an example:

Its honestly a pretty fun ecosystem. You could just get a few ADA to play around with. Use Nami wallet and then pick a pool to stake to on pool.pm. Its pretty fun

Is it Yoroi? Try going to pool.pm and entering your stake address. That will give you accurate data. pooltool.io will also give you reasonably accurate data on rewards.
