This is the problem.

Now imagine that someone having your computer do stupid amount of processing to generate a random number that the maker is looking for. Like running at 100% CPU/GPU to just pump out a stupid amount of numbers.
But because your computer guessed the magic number you are issued the cookie which just has a link to a website.
But they now tell you that said cookie is "YOU HAVE A SUPER MAGIC TOKEN THAT IS ONE OF A KIND AND WORTH A TON OF MONEY WHICH WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE"

But the things is you only have a link. So if the hosting site goes down? You're going to a 404.
Someone swaps the image with something else with the same name? Shit out of Luck.

>receive a paper receipt from a random store?
When you receive a paper receipt you get a product or service to go with it that is exclusive to you.

You could buy a paper receipt that says you own one gold bar in a bank vault (backed by a real physical gold bar you will never need to touch, but you can get if you want to).

NFTs are "you own this serial number. The number is assigned to this grid of pixels sitting in a file on someone's webserver" that has as much staying power as a cosmetic item in a multiplayer game that will die and vanish as soon as the company running the server decides to close up shop.

An NFT is a digital receipt that says you own a specific version of a file, it can be an image, video, item in a game, etc.
It can be the original very first file ever made or a copy.
But since the thing you bought is the receipt and not the file, and it's completely unregulated, what happens is that anyone can copy, then edit resell etc. "your" file.
You're buying a certificate that has no legal value, and "your" file can be manipulated without your consent. This is why scammers run this as a Ponzi scheme, buying these meaningless receipts at a high price in hopes
1. Other retards see the high price these things sell for and get into NFTs, improving the public image
2. Buy their imaginary receipts for an even higher price, of course in hopes they find a bigger retard to sell it to... until the last retard can't sell it anymore then game over and start again
My advise is unless you're a professional scammer stay away from them.

Pretty much true. the only value is that certain creators of NFTs have a lot of "rep" which boosts the perceived value of them. As soon as the seller disappears, I expect their NFTs to become useless.

There are various actual uses of NFT such as rental property and tracking records, albeit less popular than what is basically glorified game cosmetics (which are honestly not an inappropriate application imo).

Here are the main advantages of the tech
>Easy change of ownership, if needed
>Tracks immutable records
>Programmable, easily integrateble to other systems

How any of these can be utilized appropriately in the context of vtubers is anyone's guesses however.
I just don't think it is wise to discredit attempts just because someone else uses similar tech inappropriately.

[Anonymous No.]

>>15940388
>You could buy a paper receipt that says you own one gold bar in a bank vault
And you could do that same thing with NFTs, except no one needs to notarizes the receipt because the proof of ownership is decentralizedly held. You could also publicly track all the previous ownership, source, and records of that assumingly nob fungible piece of gold if that is to be necessary.
Of course the main difference here is how legally binding each approach are. And sure paper trails wins here because it is the existing technology however tedious and unreliable it is

>company running the server decides to close up shop
Obviously, same thing already happens with your gold paper receipts, or land/home certificates. The receipt is as good as the entity backing it.

That means those 'liquidators' are the one backing it anon.
And NFT have more uses than 'owning' something.
A fan club/loyalty program for example. For each members, the issuers can mint and issue an NFT specific for that person which ownership cannot be changed.
And when there's an event or some sort, a record is added to the members' NFT if they participate. These records are public and immutable in nature, and can act as sort of a proof that the member had participate in which events. These data can then be used to reward said members in forms of discount, special access, or whatever.
However it does beg the question on why does it has to use a decentralized solution like NFTs since the same effect can be achieved using traditional centralized systems.
And the answer to that is when there is little trust between parties involved such as between the original NFT issuer, those that add the records to the NFT and those that give the rewards.
Obviously such situations are unlikely (although not nonexistent, such as academic records) therefore you are more likely to hear digital art ownership around the conversation of NFT

Japan hasn't gotten the "NFT bad" wave, although artists are picking up on it (mostly because big artists accounts keep getting hacked by NFT fags).
Also companies in general, even EN ones, for some reason keep doubling down on NFTs. Guess the suits see it as free money from the retards who will buy them, and they've somehow missed the backlash from the rest of the internet. My worst NFT fear is that they go the way of microtransactions and gacha, where people just give up on fighting them.

Yeah, but a lot of that is that the artists basically have no recourse.

Probably none of them. These companies can take a lot of hate, but VTUBER companies whole existence is on twitter and so they can't have that ruined completely.

Not currently released ones, but sure as hell will incentivize jewish companies to focus their development on adding NFT features more than making the game fun.

That's because the "ownership" relies completely on trust because no authority regulates such transactions, which means in case someone steals your shit or resells it nobody gives a fuck.

Yes NFTs as a concept is great, but it's current usage has way more negative aspects than positives, unless you only care about the money then it's great for scamming idiots I guess.

>The receipt is as good as the entity backing it.
Yes and you need a government to back anything that actually proves ownership if you want actual ownership, as with an NFT you only legally bought a piece of the blockchain and nothing else. Which defeats the point of doing it decentralized or as an NFT, because if you want rights to art, you could just buy the rights to the art from the artists traditionally through a contract which is a government recognized unique reciept where you don't have to worry about fraud, so unless you really love using excessive amounts of resources, NFTs are worthless. Unique in-game items have been sellable on the steam store for years without ever needing an NFT, because the entity that backs the sales and the unique authenticty of the items is Valve, they don't need the block chain. NFTs solve a problem that don't exist.

in real life, there are physical limitations to how many prints something has. there isn't an infinite amount of any piece of merchandise. but digitally, you can make as many copies as you want of something.

this is what NFTs try to circumvent: they're meant to create value and scarcity and rarity out of digital goods. the only problem is that you can still make copies of them because of course you can--they're still digital.

but the idea of the "digital receipt" that people constantly bring up is that *that's* where the value is. because while people can copy your digital good, they can't copy the receipt, since it's tied to crypto bullshit.

except there have been numerous cases of NFT receipts being stolen because they aren't safe and they're scams and the literal definition of worthless, since it's just a bunch of dogshit artists claiming that because there's only one REAL copy of their digital art out there, it's worth millions of dollars.

Most of it isn't even artists, at least not since the very beginning.
It's either randomly generated like the monkeys everyone makes fun of, or STOLEN art. There's not even any creativity going into it, when in theory that's part of the appeal of IRL art ownership.

We need to shift worldlines.
Remember the large hadron collider they fired in 2016? Initially they had an error when using it, a bird dropped a piece of bread in an extremely specific spot, so specific the initial test fired failed.

Ever since they fired that thing the entire world has gone to shit.

yeah, but the art is still made by artists, and even in the case of literal AI randomly generating around a bunch of hats and accessories (which also defeats the purpose of the rarity in the first place lmao), the art is dogshit nonetheless.

Ah but you see, each one is unique. Quality is subjective, but this being the only version of this monkey/lion/literal poop/jesus image is objective, and so better.

The jpg is stored on a server somewhere. It isn't on the blockchain. What's on the blockchain is a URL to that jpg.

It's not a link. At least a link has practical value for directing you to something. It's literally just a token. Basically a certificate.

There is an optional metadata extension to the spec (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721#specification)) that includes the field "tokenURI" that is a URI to a JSON file that has a field called "image" that is a URI that points to an image that represents the NFT but that doesn't necessarily even have to be the actual image you own because it's simply an image the "represents" the NFT (consider not all NFTs are images in the first place and could use that image property just to show you a visual representation of what you own).

So basically the NFT you own might have metadata that points to a JSON object that might have a link to the actual image you "own." Or it could just be a token in which case you don't even get a link to the image you "own."
