Not Boring essays are remixes powered by other peoples’ ideas.

The Power to the Person NFT is the first that splits proceeds with the unwitting collaborators.

NB also relies on you sharing! So QT w/ your ETH address to share in 10% of the split.

Bid: https://notboring.mirror.xyz/SPV_-bchriVn_ncDj8OgnLccSb5qAsU0sXNpg9y_UTk

For more details and the why behind this NFT, check out the essay I wrote in Not Boring today.

TL;DR

Minted and auctioning an essay w @viamirror and @seedclubhq
Seeds of new media model that prioritizes quality
Go down the Web3 rabbit hole https://www.notboring.co/p/unwitting-collaboration-and-web3

This is the first NFT using @viamirror’s Split smart contract to … split proceeds from the auction automatically with people who contributed to power to the person.

50% to me
50% to my Unwitting Collaborators

I couldn’t get everyone’s ETH address, so I have 19% to play with.

That’s where you come in. QT the top tweet in this thread w your ETH address & sub to Not Boring, you split 5% of the auction proceeds w other sharers.

+ 1 random Sharer/Subscriber gets 5% of proceeds!

Remaining 9%, if unclaimed, to charity.

I’m splitting with 24 people whose work I linked in Power to the Person + 2 who edited. The piece doesn’t exist w/o them.

There are others whose ETH addresses I don’t have:

@benthompson & @harrystebbings asked to donate theirs to charity.

Couldn’t reach: @mad_dog_jones @beeple @loganpaul @whoisaddison @rodrisanzrios @eladgil @walterisaacson Ronald Coase & Prateek Gohra

Theirs goes into the pot!

This is just an experiment, but I hope that it’s the first step towards a new way for creators to earn an income that relies on quality and impact of ideas rather than quantity and virality.

Even that idea isn’t mine alone.

@thattallguy @seedclubhq came up with the idea with me & @patrickxrivera @literature & @strangechances @viamirror made it happen! They were all welcoming and fast, and incredible ambassadors for Web3. Follow them.

By winning this NFT, you’re not just buying a digital asset, you’re supporting an idea: that all work is a remix, and that the people whose ideas go into new ideas should be rewarded. I hope in five years, we look at this as the very rough beginning of something big.

I’ll also interview the winner and release it on the Not Boring Podcast. I want to understand the psychology behind buying an NFT and what about this particular one resonated. Plus, you’ll be a part of this too. I want to give you some shine.

The Power to the Person NFT Split Auction will run 12 hrs. In the last hour, each bid adds 15 minutes to the clock. We’ll likely livestream the last hr, either on video or Spaces.

The reserve price is 0.26 ETH to represent the 26 people whose work went into Power to the Person.
