NFT vending machine to make digital art more accessible at London event

Published at: Oct. 27, 2022

Multi-chain nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace myNFT has announced it will showcase its first-ever physical NFT vending machine at this year's NFT.London event scheduled for Nov. 2–4. 

The NFT platform hopes to provide an easy and accessible way for people who want to start buying and trading digital assets without needing deep knowledge of the Web3 industry. The vending machine will allow users to purchase an NFT without owning a digital wallet.

Users who want to purchase an NFT through myNFT’s vending machine will need to select one of the envelopes on display, and then key in the code provided. After paying, they’ll be able to scan the QR code in the envelope, which will come with an invitation to set up a myNFT account, complete with an NFT wallet, in which they’ll receive their NFT.

Hugo Mcdonaugh, CEO of myNFT, said, "The most accessible way to buy anything is through a vending machine and so we're breaking the perception that buying an NFT is difficult via this initiative.”

Interested participants will be able to purchase an NFT from myNFT’s inaugural collection of donated NFTs, which features brands like Dr. Who Worlds Apart, Thunderbirds and Delft Blue Night Watch.

The physical NFT vending machine will be located outside the NFT.London conference venue, at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, Westminster, London.

Proceeds from the NFT vending machine will be donated to Giveth, a blockchain-based philanthropic community that funds public goods, services and education in developing nations, as well as Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity, which provides specialist nurses to seriously ill children.

In February, Cointelegraph reported that Solana-based NFT marketplace Neon unveiled a 24/7 NFT vending machine in New York’s financial district that accepted both credit and debit card payments. However, a week after its launch, users reported that neither the NFT vending machine nor the NFT worked as promised.

NFTs could mark a resurgence in art galleries
For decades, art galleries and museum exhibitions around the world have facilitated the presence of cultural education, social interaction and visual moments of awe. Michelangelo’s “Sistine Chapel,” Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Black Iris III” and Picasso’s “Weeping Woman” have all inspired generations of art lovers in their own pursuits of life — creative or otherwise. However, since the turn of the century — grossly impacted by seismic shifts in digital behaviors, economic uncertainties and enduring complaints of exclusivity — art galleries have seemingly depreciated in societal appeal. A piece by Arts Professional in late 2017 exposed the decline in visitor numbers to …

British tween earns almost $400K on NFT sales without a bank account
A 12-year-old boy from London reportedly earned nearly $400,000 by selling a series of nonfungible tokens (NFT) during the school holidays. In an interview with Geo.tv, Benyamin Ahmed shared his excitement about being able to make money online by selling NFT artworks “without having a bank account.” Ahmed’s artwork caught attention on Twitter and eventually went viral. Ahmed used his school holidays to create and tokenize digital pictures of whale emojis branded as “Weird Whales,” which were then sold in the form of NFTs online. Previously, the child had tokenized a Minecraft-inspired art set, which did not sell on the …

Ethereum price dragged down below $2K as US inflation hits highest level since 1991
Ether (ETH) perhaps had the most bullish outlook entering the July session, with the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1559 promising to make ETH scarcer through the network’s first-ever burning mechanism. But so far into the month, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has vastly tailed its top rival Bitcoin (BTC). The positive correlation was visible on Tuesday, following the New York opening bell when Ether plunged below $2,000 to hit a two-week low in sync with Bitcoin, which slipped below $32,500. As it happened, the ETH/USD exchange rate reached its intraday low of $1,961.10 following a 3.43% drop. The pair’s …

Nifty News: Collector spends $488K minting Tubby Cats, NFT vending machine
