Next up will be a set of data on the wing-flapping rate of African swallow and the instructions for the Holy Hand Grenade.

All the comments about supposedly "owning" a copy of an item that is trivial to make perfect digital copies... exactly.

If, somehow, the NFTs could be made actually non-fungible, and backed by the legal system, the one killer feature would be repeating revenue for the artist with every subsequent sale. That could truly change the economics for the perpetually starving artists in the world. If that came to pass, it might be worth all the electricity and carbon footprint.



>the electricity and carbon footprint.

That's no longer a concern for an increasing number of NFTs minted today[0].

good update - thx! I knew about ETH POS coming (soon we hope...), but aspects of those other projects were good news

Laden or unladen? In a vacuum?


Perhaps, only the NFT owner will hold the answer? If that could be setup, it might drive some lively bidding!
