Thank you for your comment @tygertyger,

keep in mind that many low income artists cant afford it

Yes, I think that's why POB kept minting fees at 6 POB. If one POB is around 0.05 Hive then the cost of minting one NFT is 0.3 Hive and 0.05 Hive for each additional edition.

The difficulty is getting whitelisted. That's why I want to ask the community to help artists who contribute to the community with the one time whitelist fee.

One artist made a whole series based on POB but publishes on WAX. I would like to see his work on Hive and others. If we can get over the whitelist fee the POB NFT is the best place for struggling artists to find a market. I love NFT Showroom but POB NFT serves another niche for those who don't have 6 Hive to mint a token.
