We're really excited to share that we just launched our MVP!

MintClip is a desktop app that helps people buy and sell YouTube NFT's with URL links.

We built MintClip because our team has a background in K-pop community apps, and have seen fans craving for 1-to-1 personal interactions with artists. We're trying out this new idea that artists/creators should easily be able to gift(or sell) their contents already existing on various social media by "autographing" them - imagine a LeBron-autographed jersey for videos.

To buy an NFT of your favorite YouTube videos(it could be a music video by your favorite singer, a viral meme, or else), all you have to do is copy&paste the video's URL in the search box and make an offer with MetaMask(=Ethereum wallet).

I'm really excited to share that our desktop app is now live after months of hard work.

We'd love any support or feedback! You can reach us at support@mintclip.com if you have further questions :)

Thanks, everyone.

Hey, congrats on finishing the MVP! I can see that when I make an offer, it start a transaction to 0x1E773A796B5B16aFA3fd91278A9924E920f82947 contract. I wanted to look it up on Etherscan, because I'm curious how you connect ERC721 tokens and youtube videos. But it seems that the source code is no uploaded there.. For me personally, I find that it increases trust in the project, when the contract source code is visible.

Thanks for the reply. We initially thought this would be harder for malicious parties trying to hack our smart contract.

But then again, I guess we should have coded it safely in the first place and let people feel comfortable with the openness.

One possible solution may be going through some auditing and uploading it afterwards - I wonder if you could perhaps take a quick look and teach us what could be improved?

Thanks for the suggestion though and I'll definitely discuss this with my colleagues.
