SNFT, a Playful Experiment

Low Resolution of My First SNFT (Steemit Non-fungible Token) 2021. Oil on paper, or is it?

Here is my first SNFT, pronounced “sniffed” as in “does it stink?”.
Yes, like oil paint at the moment. But you can have it in 41.1 MB of scentless digital individuality for, hmmm... let’s say, 20 Steem dollars.
In the comments section, just be the first to tell me you sent the Steem to my account. Unfortunately, then I think you’ll have to follow me on Instagram (@3_pounds_of_flax) in order to privately message a place where you would like the high resolution SNFT to be transferred. I promise never to share the digital SNFT once it is let go, and you can do with it whatever you wish—resell it to some other fool in Tom Sawyer’s gang, or print it on a billboard.

Let’s give it a go. A Ron Throop SNFT just for you. Oh yeah, and the other SNFT I tack up in my studio. Yours you can see any time you want—and mine I can see, touch, taste, hear (if I scratch at it), and of course, sniff for a fast high.

The NFT phenomenon has got my brain tied up in knots. I wrote about it recently and shared on Steemit. I don’t think a single pair of eyes has seen my previous NFT on rarible.com, where those crafty prospectors took my money and gave me a colander to pan for crypto in a mud puddle.

I rather play on #steemit, where the people are friendly:)

Thank you!

Congratulations on being a winner in the Steemit Awards 2021...

Great news, and thank you!

Congratulations to you My Friend as the winner Best Author of The Steemit Award 2021. Best of luck to you.

Thank you. I owe much to @romanie and @stef1 and @ibizaki and @o1eh and @petface and @serap and several other good people who bother on any day to witness my angst and contentment.
Happy new Year!

Muchas gracias and Happy New Year to you also!
I'm sorry I can't keep up with all your posts, but I'll try do my best; they are always interesting, but you have competition elsewhere: I'm somehow addicted to some youtube channels and it's all too much in the end. :-)

You’re right. Keeping up can be a drag. I told you winter is a problem at this latitude. 10°F warmer and I’d be digging in the dirt, not searching for words and relevancy online. What else is there to do in the gray? Paint, eat, blog. Thanks for even taking a look. I’d rather be in the pines helping the carob trees breathe:)

Contrast. This morning I met a friend 2 minutes down the road from home and... you're already at the beach. It was hot, we were walking in t-shirts. The sun was strong, no wind. After a while walking by the coast we thought we might take a bath in the sea, but we met another friend and sat in the sun in front of the sea and chatted for a very long time. I had to keep moving out of the sun, so hot it was. Then, some dolphins came close and started chasing fish up and down inside the bay.
That's what I mean with not easy to keep up!

That is a problem I could stomach unto death.
Today I ate a bowl of cereal, painted in oils, cooked a dinner, and felt like I gained 7 pounds. Or are they kilograms where people are happier?
I prefer your setbacks!
The friends I have, thankfully, and they stop by. We drink a pint or two, and put on the weight.
Oh, but that sun... By February I’m begging for it!

Congratulations on your well deserved success! Your art is wonderful and your posts are worth reading! Lately there have been so many and I´ve had so much going on around here over the holidays I feel I´ve lost track... I´ll soon catch up! Happy New Year! I´m sure you will be enjoying a wonderful feast !

And congratulations to you too!

I must say I don’t like my art very much, nor my writing, however, I do relish the process. And I am VERY honored that you engage with me and accept the expression no matter how off-scene it gets at times. Thank you.
May 2022 be a wonderful, peaceful year for you and your favorite husband:)

Hi @ronthroop, you have started a nice initiative, which is very nice :) I don't have steem or sbd because I power up 100%, otherwise I would like to buy it. Your painting looks very friendly with lots of hugs :)

The NFT craze is like tulips in Amsterdam, circa 1630s. It’s all tongue and cheek I do not expect to sell a digital link to what I have tack to the wall.
Thank you and hugs back:)

In other words speculative bubble, I really like your analogy. How the story of Nfts will continue is one of the things I'm curious about. We'll play a waiting game.
Greetings :)

Still, I would love to be some pinch of soap off that bubble just before it bursts.
Yes, a waiting game:)

That is nice.

Yes, thank you!
