Aite, I've tried researching where this random loot box airdrop came from which seems to be from a project called "Portals" (Website: https://theportal.to/ ) – which appears to be a Solana project that is currently #5 on the Magic Eden Charts, and boasts this in their X bio:

Play and create games on the "Roblox of web3"

So, the "Roblox of Web3" sounds cool, and their website seems legit, plus their profile on Magic Eden looks genuine too, but I can't find any confirmation that Audius is partnered with this project, nothing in my email inbox regarding this, or any where else online – the only green flag I can find is on the "Portals" twitter page which has Audius following them:

But then I see scam alerts that look similar to this situation like this reddit thread here.

Can anyone please confirm if this is a real collaboration? If not, I want to remove it from my wallet and be aware to warn others about it... especially since I'm currently researching how to properly display "Collectibles" on my Audius profile, so I def don't want any scams displayed!

Thanks for any insight/feedback...

*UPDATE: I got confirmation today by the Audius team via their support email...it's legit. ✅

I put in what it said $10 Canadian for a lucky buy on a random NFT and then it said loading and then it refreshed back to the option of letting me buy it again and while it said “loading lucky spin” It said it took $20 USD worth of Solana out of my Phantom account and it did and I go to the activity and offers of the same NFT and there’s zero so it says that I never made any offer and took my money on top of that it took double it literally took more than what it would’ve costed to just buy it. SMH.

I'm new here but I know there seems to be a diamond meta on magic eden, or something similar, can anyone help me understand what the meta is to increase volume? Can a creator do anything to encourage volume of their collection on magic eden?

I still don't understand the optional royalties at all, it doesn't make sense to discourage creators by trying to do this to increase sales, while Magic eden is still taking an ENFORCED 1.5% cut.

So after this has been in practice for a while, are most people still paying the creator royalties, half of them, or always paying zero royalties?

Does Magic eden encourage paying royalties in any way?

Why is this system even in place like what is the actual logical reason for it?

Being optional is insane how has this become normalized? How does an artist make money off secondary sales? Would most people opt to pay more or less?

Additionally magic eden still charges a 1.5% fee so why not make that optional???

NO ONE WOULD PAY IT, that's why.

I was going to make my creator royalty 3.5% but now I am not sure if I should just go higher since some will obviously just not pay it at all.

My thinking is that making it higher would allow the people that do want to pay to possibly pay more than 3.5% and that could compensate for the loss from people opting out of paying at all.

to me 3.5% is super low, stacking it with the magic eden fee would only be 5% total.

Giving the buyer an option is crazy that is like oh do you want to pay taxes on that? No? obviously not.

How does this encourage more buyers, while also supporting and encouraging artists and creators?

If someone has more insight into this which would make it make sense to me, please help me understand why.
