MINT PIXELMIX


PIXELMIX

A daily (re)generative NFT by @thisismycryptoname.


WHAT IS A PIXELMIX?



A PIXELMIX IS AN ANIMATED REPRESENTATION OF A WALLET.  THAT'S IT?
WELL, A PIXELMIX IS AN ANIMATED MOSAIC OF PIXELATED TILES BASED ON A WALLET. 
OHHHHKAY....
AND, EACH TILE IN THE MOSAIC IS COMPOSED USING COLOR ANALYSIS OF AN NFT IMAGE IN
THE WALLET.  ... UHHH
AND, EACH MOSAIC HAS 10 FRAMES.  WHAT.
AND, EACH MOSAIC IS COMPLETELY RE-GENERATED EVERY DAY, WHICH ALSO MEANS THE
CORRESPONDING NFT IMAGE IS UPDATED EVERY DAY! 
...

CONFUSED? LET'S BREAK IT DOWN...

STEP 1: ANALYZE NFTS

For each NFT in a wallet, we analyze every single pixel of the image. We split
the pixels into counts based on their colors and take the top 6 colors.  In this
NFT, RGB(203, 150, 85) was the dominant pixel color, so that becomes our
background.

STEP 2: GENERATE INDIVIDUAL TILE

The 5 next-dominant colors are used as the interior pixel-squares.  Each
square's color is pseudo-randomly picked from the 5 next-dominant color palette
as part of a JIT function, which means that no two pixelmix tiles will be the
same as each square has logic to be hyper-unique in its color selection.

RGB Colors: (255, 205, 188), (241, 225, 104), (160, 188, 184), (255, 120, 66),
(0, 0, 0)


STEP 3: BUILD MOSAIC FRAME

Once we have the individual tiles for each of the NFTs in the wallet, we combine
them into a square mosaic.  This particular mosaic is a perfect square, as there
are 9 NFTs in the wallet... But if you have more (or less) the pixelmix mosaic
will expand or shrink to accommodate.  If you do not have enough NFTs to fill a
perfect square, you'll see black filler spaces on the bottom but don't worry -
these are meant to be filled by new NFTs, so if you don't have enough to get to
a full square, you can collect enough NFTs to fill it up!   


STEP 4: ASSEMBLE ANIMATED MOSAIC

We repeat steps 1-3 until we have 10 mosaic frames, then we combine all 10
frames into an animated GIF file, as seen above.  Remember that each of these
individual tiles are uniquely generated, even between frames... So a 9 NFT
Pixelmix will contain 90 individually unique tiles (9 tiles X 10 GIF frames). 
And that is your pixelmix!


STEP 5: RE-GENERATE PIXELMIX DAILY

But wait, there's more ... Every day, we check your wallet for any NFT changes. 
If you got new NFTs, we'll add them to the mosaic.  If you sold or transferred
NFTs, we'll remove them from the mosaic... We re-generate your pixelmix based on
a daily wallet snapshot.  Every day's pixelmix will be unique from the last,
even if you don't change anything in your wallet.  It's like getting an
ever-changing piece of art!


STEP 6: COLLECT AND CURATE COLOR!

The more NFTs you hold in the wallet that has your pixelmix NFT, the more
colorful and complex your pixelmix will grow.  You completely control the output
- if you don't like the overall color palette of your pixelmix, you can
influence it by collecting NFTs that have the colors you do like!  Or, if you
don't like a certain color tile, you can remove it by transferring that NFT
out.  YOU are in control of your pixelmix colors via NFT collecting!


PIXELMIX FAQ

WHAT CHAIN WILL THIS BE RELEASED ON?

This is released on Ethereum for Ethereum Layer 1 NFTs.  We may expand the
project in the future to include other chains, but all logic, ownership, and
delegations will flow from the Ethereum chain.

DO YOU SUPPORT MULTIPLE WALLETS PER HOLDER?

At this time, we do not support linking wallets.  The pixelmix NFT will be
generated based on the wallet in which it resides.

WHAT WILL THE SUPPLY AND PRICE BE?

Total number of tokens available: 2,222
Price: ~$500 USD (payable in ETH, adjusted every 24-48 hours)

Mint Process:  We are determining the best course to keep our mint process
engaging.  Stay tuned for more information as the mint proceeds.

HOW OFTEN IS MY PIXELMIX UPDATED?

The daily (re)generation starts at 01:00 ET / 06:00 UTC.  All wallets that hold
a pixelmix are put into a queue and are processed by worker threads.

CAN I DOWNLOAD THE FILES?

Due to the size of the files and the number of files involved in making a
pixelmix, we are looking into sustainable ways to provide both NFT tile and
frame downloads.

HOW LONG WILL PIXELMIX REGENERATE? 

Different pixelmix regeneration lengths will unlock at different points in the
mint out.  As of now, we are looking at a 1-3 year lifespan.  More or less years
will be determined based on project mint-out status.

WHY DO I SEE (MORE / LESS) TILES IN MY PIXELMIX THAN I SEE IN MY WALLET? 

We pull NFT information for all NFTs on an Ethereum address, even if they are
hidden on OpenSea. We do not include any layer-2 NFTs
(polygon/immutable/arbitrum/etc). We do our best to download and process NFT
image media, but there are times that this process does fail (i.e. image
download fails or is unavailable or is in a format we do not (yet) support -
i.e. 3D model files). We will refresh the wallet contents each night and try
again.
