  • Right, it’s a link to the JPEG. Either way, the point still stands, there’s no mechanism in the blockchain to prevent duplicate content or enforce uniqueness of what the NFT points to. The NFT token is unique within its contract, sure, but that doesn’t stop someone from deploying a near-identical contract with the same media and metadata. That’s the issue, the blockchain doesn’t know or care if the same JPEG is being reused in other collections.

  • Completely agree, but the guy I responding to thinks the monkey jpeg is unique across the whole blockchain, when that isn't true. The monkey jpeg can be copied. There's no uniqueness enforced in a blockchain.

  • Lets say you don't have a central authority declaring one is official. How would you search the entire blockchain to verify you have the original NFT?

  • It's easier to share on a blockchain. I can send the license to a new wallet then have the wallet sign a smart contract which could automatically drain it of any gas if anyone adds it.

    Now I can give out the secret pass phrase and lots of people can play the game without having to give anyone my login credentials.

  • But you would need a centralized authority to say which one is the "right contract". If a centralized authority is necessary in this case, then there is less benefit of using NFTs. It's no longer a decentralized.

  • The NFT is only unique within the contract address. The whole contract can be trivially copied to another contract address and the whole collection can be cloned. It's why opensea has checkmarks for "verified" collections. There are a unofficial BoredApe collections which are copies of the original one.

  • Oh, this is actually a useful feature, then.

  • I think there’s a technical hurdle here. There’s no reliable way to enforce unique access to an NFT. Anyone with access to the wallet’s private key (or seed phrase) can use the NFT, meaning two or more people could easily share a game or software license just by sharing credentials. That kind of undermines the licensing control in a system like this.

  • I don't think NFTs can do that either. Collections are copied to another contract address all the time. There isn't a way to verify if there isn't another copy of an NFT on the blockchain.

  • We didn't have all these problems when a gay man was in charge. ☕

  • Good idea. I gotta add resistance training to my sleep routine for those gainz.

  • I'm built different 🦾

  • Magnetic force is hilariously weak. Go ahead and raise your hand. You literally just over came the magnetic pull of the ENTIRE EARTH.

  • Of course it's real, just look at how tall CEOs are on average.

  • Remember those "exercise while you sleep" infomercials? I have parasomnia, so sometimes I wake up sore from moving around all night. Turns out, it really is like exercise while you sleep.

  • I honestly feel like I can do better in this area. Thanks for the post. Gives me something to think about.

  • I'm surprised it wasn't crypto.

  • Trump lied?!?! In other news, water is wet.
