It only makes it worse for the artists, I think. Their work is being used without permission or compensation. If your Original Character (do not steal) is somehow attached to token that sells for $500, it feels like you should get part of that because the quality of the art influenced the value of the token.

What if I right-click, save as on your jpg without paying $500 for the bitcoin?

The Facebook Camera Lens ID Patent is dumb and probably not a big deal.

combined with how compressed FB images are I do not see them gleaning anything from lens scratches.

That's just normal theft. They are mad that someone is profiting. Like if Hot Topic started selling Tshirts with your art and without your permission you could try to get compensation.

I'm failing to understand why being able to attach a jpg to a bitcoin is such a huge problem.

Is it that, given internet, bitcoiners, etc., it must be an absolute certainty that every bitcoin will eventually contain kiddie porn?

it isn't actually a problem at all

it's just funny to laugh at bitcoiners who think that embedding a jpg in a bitcoin makes their particular copy of that jpg somehow special, and even funnier to laugh at the fact that bitcoiners are literally building a speculation market around those bitcoin-embedded jpgs. it's like listening to someone talk about how all their first-edition pokemon cards will totally be WORTH SOMETHING someday

If anyone is interested in buying jpgs then let me know and I can probably quote you a price less than the value of one bitcoin.

IIRC links to CP sites (or former ones at this point, I suppose) are already part of the blockchain and due to the nature of how it works, will forever remain so. So that's pretty on-brand for fundamentally libertarian "currency"

They know that the Empire is the bad guys, right? Not a shades of grey bad but literally palette swapped Nazis, and they're implying that their robots are actually on that side?

Is this incredibly tone deaf or do they just know their audience actually roots for Nazis?

Keep in mind that a lot of resources go into making all of those processing components as well. Burning oil to power the whole thing is just an extra cherry on top of the waste.
