It’s now listed in the blockchain and universally recognized by the world that you are the rightful owner of the work. No it’s not. Anyone could have put an artwork on the blockchain, even if it’s not theirs. Just because Alice uploaded an artwork doesn’t prove rule out the possibility that Bob was the creator. Blockchains cannot link to the physical world while keeping their properties of ‘proofs’, yet so many proje…

Lots of work happening now on decentralized oracles to solve this problem.

I guess that’s an admission that this current blockchain concept is flawed as it stands, right? I’ve yet to see any truly decentralised oracle either...

I've become fully immersed. It started with seeing tweets about six weeks ago and lately CH rooms nonstop. NFT's are having a moment. From generative projects, to to NBA Top Shot, CryptoPunks, Beeple, b.20 my mind is blown. I've been painting token-related paintings for a couple years, and digitized my artist persona this past week via OpenSea. Beeple's Christies auction will be very interesting.

I did not understand anything you said. Literally. None of it makes sense.

If you are interested in nfts/virtual worlds from the perspective of a hacker creating a video game (that’s me!), my startup https://webaverse.com recently got seed funded to explore the business model space and we are hiring engineers. I love onboarding folks onto this wacky world.

These are relatively common in theory and practice.

Man a card game based on NFTs would kill. No concern for fakes when purchasing, perfect knowledge of supply and card history. I can't wait for this NFT stuff to kick off and murder blizzard/activision/EA models where they print money by pretending certain items are scarce.

Hey this looks great. Are there any referral codes to receive unique stuff? God writing this makes me feel like a shill trying to generate hype.

This is not attempting to prove something previously unknown, or resolve an active uncertainty of authorship. But if an artist claims ownership over a work/token, and collective history remembers and validates that claim, then you can prove that you own that token.

If something is already known and collectively validated by history, then you don’t need a blockchain to prove anything. Conversely, it is the previously unknown things that would most need some confirmation of authorship, yet here the blockchain concept fails again!

We need it to prove ownership (of digital things), not authorship.

Coming soon, the CryptoKitties IPO? There really is a market for unique stuff, even useless unique stuff. See Upland, Decentraland, etc., where people are buying virtual real estate. In Decentraland (which is totally centralized) you can at least log into a virtual world and put something on your land. Upland skips that step. You just get tradeable certificates which supposedly represent real-world locations to which…

I get your point with Decentraland, but the dynamic data is all on the Ethereum network, the static data is all on IPFS, and anyone can run a node and have their own instance of the world for them and their friends to play on. Sure, they have some hard coded authority for which NFTs get included in their marketplace, but people are free to switch that up on their own instances. Sure, there are ways in which it could…

Can I bring up a Decentraland server and sell my own land?
