This allows an American couple to seize their home with the help of an Ethereum-based non-fungible token (NFT) -inspired collection and the amazing support of the kind and generous NFT community. It’s a story about how it was stopped.
Recently, CNBC’s “Make It” Report About an American couple, Thorn Melcher and Mandy Massel White, who “own a house outside of Atlanta.”
Apparently, “the bills began to pile up after Thorn Melcher lost his job as a software engineer in February.” “Her girlfriend, Mandy Mussel White, was able to cover some of the costs of selling her artwork,” but sadly, “the couple was soon late for mortgage payments.” I took it. “
Their homestead in Atlanta, Georgia, Farmer Here they bred 6 ducks, 2 geese and other animals. “
Musselwhite told CNBC:
“”We knew we had to think about something. We really didn’t want to lose this property. I love here. Animals love it here.“”
Thankfully, they said,Sneaky duckA collection of 10,000 cartoon duck non-fungible tokens (NFTs) generated by code with unique combinations of over 100 different characteristics to raise funds. They launched the NFT collection on January 19th, “sold out in less than six hours and made a little less than $ 120,000 in revenue.”
There are two things that make this story even more exciting.
The first is how miserable the couple’s financial situation was just before the start of the NFT. Musselwhite’s Cash App seems to have “some bank accounts deducted”, one shared account “less than $ 1”, one account “minus $ 4.11”, and the rest “89 cents”.
Second, the couple had to show their check to a lawyer by January 20th, saying that they were borrowing $ 35,587 to repay their mortgage.
Melcher told CNBC:

Smart contract at first. “Thankfully, one of their friends kindly offered to cover the rates for Dastardly Ducks.”
So how could we co-create this NFT collection and generate enough interest to be successful in sales?
According to Melcher, they started working on the NFT collection in early January 2021. Programmer Melcher quickly learned Solidity, the leading language for creating smart contracts on the Ethereum platform, and Musselwhite, a graphic artist. He designed each Dastardly Duck. “
One of the successes of the sale was “at the time of release, each Dastardly Duck was priced at about $ 15 and a 12-pack was priced at about $ 120.” This means that many people can buy at least one. NFT.
The launch of their NFT collection also made it easier for both of them to find a job.
Melcher says:
“”I’m a Solidity coder because there are a lot of people who suddenly want to work with me.Some people are interested in working with Mandy [Musselwhite] As an artist.“”
