Agree! I found the cost of initializing a wallet via opensea is prohibitive and the lingo is indeed "cryptic". I like the idea of using twitter for a character space, but wonder how the story flow will be with postings. Looking forward to trying it!

The "gas" is definitely prohibitive. It cost me $50 just to mint the NFT for Friday. I think the publishing platform of the future should not be built on ethereum for this very reason......
If crypto becomes as easy as using Venmo then it will be usable for most writers. But as you said, it is too expensive and тАЬtechieтАЭ at the moment. Although it is interesting to watch Elle, who is willing to devote the money and the time to learning "Web3." I am sure she will reap the rewards. It is just too much for me at the moment.
I will admit that I earned $1000 in ethereum to write for the original DAO. Then it cost me $50 to purchase my mloot and another $50 to mint the NFT for Friday. So I'm net positive on this project so far. But yes, it is expensive to do pretty much anything on the ethereum network so it's definitely not ready for mass adoption!
Still on the plus side though! (I remember buying my first .com domain for over $100.00 in the early days of the internet! )
I enjoyed your entry the Omen, on your mirror site. I wonder how does one make their mirror content discoverable? It doesn't seem like the mirror.xyz site has a community search function?

:-) yes Elle is opening many "opportunity doors" for writers!
