How can I download my purchased paintings?

I am currently are working on an interface so those who purchased them will also be able to download the digital files instantly.
2024 note: one day...

Digital property / How does this smart contracts secure the ownership of this artworks?

Archival and property of digital files and artworks is a current field of study and I simply have no opinion this but am interested in building dApps [decentralized applications] to distribute my own work which may happen to be in various mediums such as games, software involving virtual reality, plain digital files such as images or even collective/distributed AI training. I kinda like to think, discuss and read about such concepts such property and archival but don’t really care when it comes to my work. At the time being, through the code in smart contract, basically anyone could reach the API and download every painting you can see on the gallery. I thought about methods such as storing private content on a contract so only the true buyer would have the access to the 1024x1024 version but even though I eventually could do it I realized I just didn’t want to bother at all. Unlike other tokens on M Ξ T A P L Ξ X, these are not functional or grant content. So, if it means nothing to you that you actually got this from me and have a piece of code signed by me, such questions are arbitrary.

One recommended and enlightening reading on this might be ascribe’s farewell; https://www.ascribe.io/.

Just as a side note; this is using a token called ERC-721 [more information: http://erc721.org/]. Taken from their website; ERC-721 is a free, open standard that describes how to build non-fungible or unique tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. While most tokens are fungible (every token is the same as every other token), ERC-721 tokens are all unique. Think of them like rare, one-of-a-kind collectables.

Are printed versions available?

Yes! If you already have purchased the digital file, we offer high-quality prints via mail order. Please inquire at ecolagbohrsac2021@gmail.com for this, and we’ll reply back with more information. To us, they look beautiful when printed in tangible form, and might possibly feel for you the same. Also, even though we probably will never be able to realize it, we would like to physically exhibit these as well.

Can I resell my purchased tokens/keys?

Whence the purchase is complete, the token associated with the particular piece of artwork will be transferred to your wallet. Therefore, as with any artwork you would purchase in the real world, it is considered property, and yes, you could sell it.
