Ah, also saw you posted on why NFTs are bad so a bit of a biased audience with you. I'm confused on the condescending closed mindedness.
Your number 1 reason: "They are bad for the environment, as they rely on cryptocurrencies that cause huge amounts of carbon emissions. They will continue to rely on these systems for security reasons (despite claims to the contrary about moving to other systems)."
You should read about Solana or Tezos if that concerns you. Tons of NFTs on both are gaining traction. Solana uses < 2000 Joules of energy per transaction - that's less than two google searches.
Curious, have you come around to bitcoin being a thing? Trying to understand the HN perspective.
Saying items being delisted from OpenSea is a big deal and diminishes the value is a fair point but that's a temporary thing. If you look on a blockchain like Solana there are 5+ exchanges you can reasonably list.
And coinbase/ftx are listing ethereum NFTs and more competitors to OpenSea are spawning which actually proves my point a bit. If Google killed your project it would have no hope. If a marketplace kills it, any other marketplace can list it.
The backup & restore is a strawman argument. I'm not arguing the data is gone.
And why would anyone be afraid of google killing your project.. You just made the point and linked OpenSea deslisting projects... How about referring you back the same link you sent me?
List of reasons:
"infringe on protected intellectual property,
promote suicide or self-harm,
incite hate or violence against others,
degrade or dox another individual,
otherwise violate our terms of service."
You're misinterpreting the main point I'm making. It's not that I don't want Google vs blockchain cause I'm afraid of delistings or something. My main thought experiment is with an artist who is established and wouldn't get delisted. It's about the fact that humans have come together to decide this is what digital ownership means - it's on a distributed database and not by a company. Maybe there is a world in which Google was the oracle of NFTs, but in our world, society has agreed on blockchain.
I am sure that society in our world would call you delusional if you used that argument in front of a judge for copyright infringement of a Mickey Mouse NFT for example.
Who says I'm worried for me? I got out in 2017 and couldn't care less.
What i am worried about, is for non-technical people getting duped ( which i already witnessed a couple of times) or if tether collapses ( for them ). Since they don't realize any of the risks.
Talking about poor arguments.
You do realize that you are contradicting yourselve by proposed a company as a fix here and your twitter threat opposing them?
He doesn't know about OpenSea delisting i suppose? https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/articles/1500010625362-W...
Being delisted from the largest marketplace is likely to be the same as having no listing at all.
Topic should be: Bullshit about nft's 101
Ps. Backup and restore procedures is in the dba 101 ...
