First post.... just an intro ;-)

Intro

Hello, this is my first post on Steemit.... I'm now following cryptocurrencies for a few years, I'm very curious about their adoption and diffusion. I'll experiment a bit and see how this ecosystem works. The idea is very interesting and it seems the platform is gaining some traction.... Maybe it could also be a way to help my art becoming economically sustainable? That's something I'm struggling for quite some time now... for example I'm also on Patreon (very few followers, not really working) and on most common social platforms....

What I do

So, as you can probably guess from the below image, I'm mainly using digital photography, photomanipulation and digital painting, but some of my works are 3D graphics and animations. 3D it's also something I mainly do as a freelancer, so I try to differentiate a bit my art production and experiment in verious directions.... I currently have some projects related to 360 photography and videos and VR in general (both realtime and pre-rendered ).

For now I'll be publishing some images you'll also find on my website/blog (you can find some proof it's me on MatericLook "about" page if you want to check).

...but let's stop talking about me and let's see if I can show something interesting, maybe I can also give a hand with some info or advice, mainly related to computer graphics and technical stuff, I guess ;-)

Blockchain consideration and authenticity

One thing that I was thinking about while reading the Steemit introduction: for textual data it should already be possible to use the blockchain data as proof of authorship... What about the current status of blockchain-based attribution systems for images? Mediachain attribution engine seems down. Is there anyone with some experience or info in this direction?

Thanks!

Any kind of advice is also appreciated! So let me know what you think (about the work, about making the artwork production sustainable, marketing, technology considerations, requests, whatever ;-) )!

Welcome to steemit! My curioisity for cryptocurrency is what brought me here as well. Lots of people who are intelligent and resourceful in various alt coins that you may try to read about!

You should definitely create some art for us on steemit! I'm not good at art but I do appreciate great art :) if you can somehow tie in art and crypto together that would be even more amazing!

Welcome again and let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks a lot! I will post some of my works for sure! About tying together cryptos and art.... well that's interesting, I think someone is already working in that direction, however the possibilities are many... Food for thought, thank you!

Just an FYI, at the current time many of Steemit users posts do not appear on Google naturally, and if they do they take a fair amount of time before they are listed (at least several days after being originally posted). Because of this it is important that you try to manually add all your new posts to Google yourself to greatly speed up the indexing process, which is something that only takes a few seconds to do but can GREATLY increase your posts changes of success by helping to get it in front of more people who may be doing various searches using the Google search engine. To manually add your posts to Google, simply create or log into your Google account and once done go to the following link https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?continue=/addurl, and from there simply input your posts url in the empty field and push "Submit Request". Once done Google will index your posts url within seconds, instead of waiting days/weeks/months to find it naturally. I know it can be tedious to do this, especially if you have 100 posts already done and need to loop back and do this for all of them, but trust me it is worth the time/effort as doing this can really help deliver a lot more results/visitors to each of your posts. Anyways once done, to check if it worked simply go to the Google homepage and input your posts url in the search field and see what happens (before pinging to Google you will see "no results found", while after pinging a post to Google you will see that post listed at the top of the search results, which tells you that your content is now available for the public to find via Google going forward).

Sidenote: I have already ping this specific post to Google for you to help out!
