How to burn an Hive Engine NFT (a Hive Punk for example)
I have been asked a few times on how to burn a Hive Punk, and currently someone is trying to do it so I here is a guide on how to do it.
Currently no punks have been burned after minting as most people don't want to burn their punks and you cannot simply transfer punks to @null as the Hive Engine NFT contract doesn't allow it.
Around 20 punks got burned during the minting process due to user error, oddly the Hive Engine NFT contract allows you to mint to null but not transfer.
There is however a specific transaction called BURN that allows you to send a NFT to null, I will walk you through an easy way to do this using Hive Keychain with no programming knowledge at all.
The operation we will use is formatted like this:
{
"contractName": "nft",
"contractAction": "burn",
"contractPayload": {
"nfts": [ {"symbol":"TESTNFT", "ids":["666"]} ]
}
}
We are going to adjust this to fit our needs. I purchased a super cheap NFT from DCity to use as an example.
- NFT Symbol: CITY
- ID: 1616262
Using my HiveEngine bot, you can see I currently own this NFT.
C:\Users\Mal\Desktop>python hiveengine.py --symbol CITY --nft 1616262
{ '_id': 1616262,
'account': 'themarkymark',
'lockedTokens': {'SIM': '5'},
'ownedBy': 'u',
'previousAccount': 'nftmarket',
'previousOwnedBy': 'c',
'properties': {'name': 'Basic Accounting', 'type': 'tech'}}
If I try to transfer this NFT to @null, it will fail.
I am going to customize the burn operation to reflect this NFT.
{
"contractName": "nft",
"contractAction": "burn",
"contractPayload": {
"nfts": [ {"symbol":"CITY", "ids":["1616262"]} ]
}
}
First you will need to access your browsers dev console, this is typically done by hitting F12 in Windows.
You should see a window that looks like this:
From here you want to type the previously modified command prefixed by json =, for example.
After you hit enter, you will just see a strange line confirming the previous operation. If you want to know what we just did, we set the variable json to a json object that represents the operation we want to do. This actually does nothing but prepare for the next operation that will broadcast what we want to the blockchain.
Seeing as Hive Keychain is injected into every page when you have the browser extension, we can simply call it to broadcast our requested operation.
hive_keychain.requestCustomJson('themarkymark', 'ssc-mainnet-hive', 'Active', JSON.stringify(json), 'Burn NFT', console.log)
You will want to change the username used to broadcast, otherwise everything else should be fine. You will be prompted by Keychain to confirm, and you click DATA to confirm the operation requested.
If you confirm the operation, you should get an output similar to this.
This means the broadcast was sent, it does not mean the operation completed successfully. The way Hive Engine works, all actions are "requests" in the form of custom jsons. If you own the NFT, and did everything correctly, Hive Engine will then take care of the operation on your behalf and do the transfer. Custom jsons are not guarantee an operation happened, I could easily make a request to sell 10M Leo tokens, but if I don't have them Hive Engine will ignore my request.
Let's go back to my HiveEngine bot and confirm the current state of CITY nft ID 1616262
C:\Users\Mal\Desktop>python hiveengine.py --symbol CITY --nft 1616262
{ '_id': 1616262,
'account': 'null',
'lockedTokens': {},
'ownedBy': 'u',
'previousAccount': 'themarkymark',
'previousOwnedBy': 'u',
'properties': {'name': 'Basic Accounting', 'type': 'tech'}}
As you can see here, the current owner of the nft is @null and previous owner was @themarkymark.
You can use this same process to burn a Hive Punk or any other NFT you like from Hive Engine.
Warning, this process is unreversible and will result in you losing the NFT for good.

Notice many "new users" on Hive? Not many, like this place is a disease. No outside communities bringing in new comers. No other sites having many links or no links to any articles from Hive on sites that show professional interests they view as noteworthy to a profession or hobby. Hive articeles are rare on reddit.com. Wouldnt people post on reddit.com with links to their articles attracting their own new following and groups? No crypto forums acknowledge Hive exists as a place to be either. Ever seen a person asking for support show a way to give support with HIVE listed as a supporting wallet address? Is there a world address on Hive for countries made more unfortunate because of Hive? Would a large Hive holder or large earner of Hive donate a LARGE amount of Hive to help support Ukraine? What? Support something thing that could attract unwanted media attention? Nothing to see here......I dont get out much though.
People are hiding exposure to Hive. People either play dumb, could be scared or intimidated, mislead or dont beilieve it. Maybe just not electronically cultured enough to know. Who knows. Its mostly fake with fake attention paid for by people with ill intentions as many do gloating in their own groups special mindset. Such a small town here to support this kind of high pay. Who is buying Hive tokens with no notable new user base coming in? People trying to buy this place as a grooming ground on the sly. Articles that arent in the interests of their own goals and views dont get much attention. I dont see many high paid articles I would put on a real news sites or link to as noteworthy. Be part of one of their groups and they groom you. They buy comment and article writers in ways that keep their lies hidden. Here to take our FREEDOMS completely in treason as the sacks of shit they are.
Most interest groups and businesses have discord rooms on the side because they wont talk here or more able to teach views there to shill out of public view. They can do odd stuff to you in discord rooms they cant do here. I’ve seen people get mugged and shaken down in discords, be careful while visiting new discords, even if they are a business. They shut down the discord room along with all of the evidence of their crimes the group around @fyrstikken and his discord server @steemspeak. They also hide behind skirts there while on the creep like they do in the new ones they are in.
The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.
I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.
They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?
People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism

It would be cool from burning an NFT to get some HIVE back, similar to the mechanism that Splinterlands has when you are receiving DEC. That might incentivize some users to burn NFTs, thus making them more scarce and maybe improving the price. What do you think about it?

Not sure how that would be sustainable, anything less than what they paid for it would be considered a loss to them, and would be out of pocket to pay it.
Splinterlands can do this because DEC is pulled from inflation and not from someones wallet.
burn it for ash nft.
Like another round of mining :D
Burning dollars is easy - just flip a few bits.
Burning NFT requires a gigantic/technical guide.
The disparity between these things is interesting.
I was hoping to learn about some new use cases for the punks, instead of just burning. The message you convey is not very promising. Instead of using the punk as e.g. entry ticket or to get some discount on other projects, etc. you suggest to burn it?
I don't suggest burning it at all, I was asked to make a guide and post it.
There is no advantage to burning Punks as the rarities are fixed and are not updated when they are burned. If there is a lot of burning, I may reconsider that.
I am trying to develop a game that uses Punks, but it isn't something developed overnight and economics are very tough to develop in a sustainable non-gambling and non-ponzi way. So much so, almost all NFT projects promise games, but never deliver.
Good to know, that you are on it. Good luck, I know it is not easy.
I actually have a very cool idea, but it is a big undertaking and difficult to figure out a sustainable economic system around. If I can, it would be really cool. I can't promise anything at this point though.
Wow, that's awesome @themarkymark. I love NFT

Like I said in another comment, I don’t recommend burning them, but someone asked for a walk through.
I’m working on stuff that people will want to have them for.
Let me be i just want to burn a ugly woman!
Well thanks for the tutorial but yeah who would want to burn his Punk :o
Why would they want to burn it.. like what is the point of that.. so now there's 9999?
Not sure. It won’t affect rarity.
She is ugly doesnt deserve to life. Thats why I burn her
What happens when someone burns their coins? I have never understood what the pros and cons are.
Nothing, they just lose access to them and they are out of circulation.
It can how ever increase the value of other coins.
For example, let's say I'm doing a bake sale and I have 100 pies. You come over and want to buy one, and I say $8 and you give me the money and the next person comes over.
What if I had one pie? The first person comes up and I say $8 and the one behind him offers $9 and the person behind him say, "No, I'll give you $10!". That's scarcity, by removing tokens out of the supply you potentially increase demand due to scarcity.
Although this is not always the case. Take Hive, there is almost 375M Hive in the supply, if I burned one, it won't do anything to the price. No one cares. If I burned 300M, there would certain be some reaction.
Alternatively:
Tribaldex.com, OpenHive (top menu), Manage, PunksOnHive, click the nft you want to burn, click the "+" to add it to the inbox, open the inbox, click "burn"
It makes more sense for NFT that have locked tokens as you get the locked tokens back. I've seen people do it with other NFT series that have batches to - like an artist is required to get 10 of a series, but they want 1 unique print. So they print the 10, then burn the others
Hello,
I want to know why you are giving it to me downvoted? Please for your answer.
@themarkymark nigger
Could you tell me the reason why you gave me a negative vote.
IS THERE A PROBLEM THAT I PLAY TENNIS WITH MY SON?
Not at all.
Buying votes on Ecency.
I didn't know it was forbidden! So far I have not had a problem.
Aren't points accrued for Sponsorship at Boost? I see that many users use them for this!
It isn't forbidden, users are free to do what they like.
Buying votes has been discouraged for some time now, while I can't stop people from selling them, I can counter the paid votes.
Thanks for the clarification.
Success in Ecency.
It's great and very helpful to know this, so I don't make a similar mistake =, though i have never thought of buying votes on Hive.
I think the votes should come organically.
Interesting might start burning a few! we like fire!
