What is a Buttplug?
Buttpluggies are intricate visual representations of oscilloscopes, shaped by algorithmic designs. While many display complex waveform patterns, some unique Buttplugs showcase unique aesthetics, influenced by digital artistry and the hacker spirit. Each one has a distinct profile page detailing its features, ownership, and sale status.
What's the background?
While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin revolutionized digital transactions, Ethereum expanded these possibilities by allowing immutable, decentralized execution of complex code. This innovation powers our Buttpluggies. Developed on Ethereum using the Huff programming language and the Huffmate libraries, the Buttpluggy contract provides a transparent and trustless method to trade and own these unique tokens. The code is not just stored; itβs brought to life on the blockchain, ensuring everyone can validate its fair execution.
How do I acquire a Buttpluggy?
- Start by downloading and setting up a Web3 browser extension, such as MetaMask. This will connect websites (upon your authorization) to your Ethereum wallet.
- If it's a new account, make sure to purchase some $ETH. MetaMask provides an easy way to buy $ETH from platforms like Coinbase.
- If you possess two or more POAPs from the WebtrES community, you might be whitelisted to mint a Buttpluggy directly. Check your eligibility on our platform.
- Alternatively, you can also mine a Buttpluggy. The minting process involves generating a nonce that, when hashed, meets specific criteria (like a prefixed number of zeros). The difficulty for this task varies, based on the days elapsed since the contract deployment and the number of Buttplugs already minted, making it similar to the MoonCats rescue mechanism.
- Once the extension is active and you've verified your eligibility or mined a Buttpluggy, our website will provide interfaces enabling you to bid, buy, or sell Buttplugs seamlessly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the visuals for the Buttplugs stored?
The visuals for the Buttplugs are stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized and distributed file system. By leveraging IPFS, we ensure that each Buttpluggy visual is permanently accessible, resistant to censorship, and not reliant on any single point of failure. Users can easily retrieve and verify their Buttpluggy visuals from IPFS at any time.
Are Buttplugs ERC-721 tokens?
Absolutely! Buttplugs are minted as ERC-721 tokens, adhering to the standards that govern most collectible assets on the Ethereum blockchain.
Are there any transaction fees?
No additional fees are levied for Buttpluggy transactions through our integrated marketplace. However, standard Ethereum gas fees will apply.
