Catagolue NFT discussion and minting requests

Post by calcyman » October 18th, 2021, 4:16 pm

Sufficiently many people have recently expressed interest in minting NFTs, so I've added the necessary infrastructure to make this possible. It's now live on the Ethereum mainnet, with pages for the project on Catagolue and OpenSea.

As of the time of writing this post, only three people (John Winston Garth, Dylan Chen, and I) have minted NFTs. This initial alpha-testing stage is now complete, so I'm opening this up to beta-testing on the forums.

Criteria for minting NFTs

Some concerns were raised on Discord and the forums about how this would interact with our community, and whether it would adversely affect our ability to continue freely exchanging patterns. To ensure that this is beneficial, the three conditions for minting an NFT in this system are:
  • That you are the genuine discoverer of the pattern;
  • That you agree to irrevocably release the pattern into the public domain;
  • That the pattern is notable, and in particular is not a trivial variant of a previous discovery.
The rationale behind the first condition is obvious, and I've mentioned it before: it ensures that the original artist benefits from minting the NFT, and not someone else leeching from their hard work. If the pattern was found by a search program (such as ikpx2), the discoverer is the person who ran the program, rather than the search program itself. If the pattern was the result of a collaborative effort (such as the Caterpillar), then all major contributors should consent to an NFT being minted.

The second of these conditions exists so that this NFT system actively encourages openness, and prevents restrictive licensing of patterns. (If someone were to restrictively license a pattern, they'd be unable to mint a Catagolue NFT of it until the restrictive licence has been removed and the pattern released into the public domain.) This way, the system reinforces the community ethos, rather than detracting from it. The discoverer can still financially benefit from the discovery by auctioning/selling the NFT, or may prefer to just keep the NFT themselves as a 'trophy' to commemorate the discovery.

The third condition is to avoid notable patterns (typically the result of ingenuity, perseverance, and/or talent) being devalued as a result of the system being swamped by hundreds of effortless patterns. Notability on LifeWiki is a sufficient condition, although not necessary: a pattern may still be interesting or notable or aesthetically pleasing enough for minting as an NFT even if it doesn't warrant its own LifeWiki page.

Technical details

In case you're interested, here's a summary of the work that went into building this:
  • Lifelib was modified to enable the creation of high-quality animated GIFs of patterns.
  • Catagolue's update process was enhanced to enable self-modification, so that it can generate the GIFs and JSON files and commit them to the repository.
  • A list has been added to the repository to store the details of the pattern discoverers and other data used to generate the NFTs.
  • Lots of code was written to produce OpenSea-compatible JSON files.
  • An ERC721-compatible smart contract was written in Solidity and deployed on the Ethereum network.
Minting 'week'

Now for the exciting part, namely minting NFTs of your own discoveries. I've funded a wallet with enough Ether to cover the gas costs for minting the first 25 NFTs (including the 5 that have been minted so far), so we can mint a further 20 NFTs during the beta-testing period. If you'd like to mint an NFT of one of your own discoveries, please post:
  • A link to the forum post or Discord message where you first announced the discovery. (Since forum usernames are independent from Discord usernames, in the latter case you'll need to write a message on Discord which proves that the forum request is from the same person who wrote the Discord message. If you published the discovery through other means, such as a mailing list, then e-mail me.)
  • Your Ethereum address (a hexadecimal string) which receives the minted NFT. Important: this needs to be an Ethereum address that you control (i.e. you have your own keys, rather than being custodied by a third party), as otherwise you won't have control over the NFT. If you don't already have a cryptocurrency wallet, then I'd personally recommend the Trezor hardware wallet. If you're opposed to buying any new hardware, but still want to participate, then consider the MetaMask browser extension.
  • An RLE of the pattern.
  • The name, description, discoverer name, and discovery date of the pattern.
  • Your preferred hue for the NFT (this is the subtle colourful glow in the animated GIF).
For this first 'beta testing' period, the system currently only supports still-lifes, oscillators, spaceships, and glider guns (because these are the only things for which lifelib knows how to produce smooth looping GIFs). Smaller patterns are preferable over larger patterns, at least for the time being.

To help ensure that everyone who's interested has a fair chance, and that there's not too much concentration amongst too few owners, I'll only approve at most 2 NFTs per person per week (so Dylan and I are already maxxed out for the first week) during this beta-testing phase.

Thank You !

I would love to make one, but need to get an address, etc.

Also, I want to buy Sir Robin if the owner wants to sell.....

Cheers !

Michael Simkin has minted an NFT of his p120 glider gun:

https://opensea.io/assets/0xe4fa7749611 ... 7016819b/6

which now brings the total number of creators up to 4 (and patterns up to 6).

Does anyone else want to contribute? There haven't been any oscillators minted yet, which seems like a pretty serious omission.

I think you could equally well ask the same question about several of the ArtWorks you contributed to the Exploratorium project.

Which brings up the question: Can QuadLife, LifeHistory, LifeSuper, etc., patterns be minted? Especially, can LifeSuper patterns be minted using a custom palette, set let's say in LifeViewer -- since [Rule]Super colors were chosen much more for recognizability than for their utility in Art?

Yes, I'll attempt to add support for multicoloured GIFs of multistate rules to lifelib.

One problem with producing a looping GIF of that particular pattern is that it's a period-534603720 oscillator, so the resulting GIF would likely be many terabytes in size. I can't see any way of solving that problem, except by hideously cheating and making different parts of the pattern advance at different speeds (!!!).

Right -- sometimes you just have to hideously cheat.

Seems like someday it might be good to be able to support minting patterns that aren't still lifes, oscillators, or spaceships, anyway -- something along the lines of David Bell's Collatz calculator pattern, maybe? I suppose really big patterns will have their own GIFication problems, anyway.

So in those cases maybe you could just let the minter pick a number of ticks for the GIF to run. Here's a sample LifeSuper version of Bubblegum's pattern, for testing purposes, with N=536. No custom colors defined in LifeViewer, though.

Code: Select all

x = 216, y = 216, rule = LifeSuper

There's definitely a hiccup every now and then, but that seems both inevitable and not too horrible.

Seems like someday it might be good to be able to support minting patterns that aren't still lifes, oscillators, or spaceships, anyway
The Simkin glider gun is neither of those.
So in those cases maybe you could just let the minter pick a number of ticks for the GIF to run. Here's a sample LifeSuper version of Bubblegum's pattern, for testing purposes, with N=536. No custom colors defined in LifeViewer, though.

There's definitely a hiccup every now and then, but that seems both inevitable and not too horrible.
Hmm. I'm impressed how well that loop has turned out, and that's definitely low enough period to be giffed.
What do you do with ill crystallographers? Take them to the mono-clinic!

(Never mind. I guess I misunderstood, since it is supported.) Comment was:

Can it just be terminated by an eater and treated as an oscillator, or is there some other problem? That could just be the conventional way of including guns.

Just use more than one gif. While the thing has a huge period as a whole, its parts do not, and you could create gifs for each part, then arrange them carefully.
EDIT: Possible partitioning

Code: Select all

x = 216, y = 216, rule = B3/S23Super
