So we're currently talking about Foundation which has an interesting TOS

quote:

Collectors Rights

Collectors receive a cryptographic token representing the Creator’s Digital Artwork as a piece of property, but do not own the creative work itself. Collectors may display and share the Digital Artwork, but Collectors do not have any legal ownership, right, or title to any copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights to the Digital Artwork, excepting the limited license to the Digital Artwork granted by these Terms. Upon collecting a Digital Artwork, Collectors receive a limited, worldwide, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to display the Digital Artwork legally owned and properly obtained by the Collector.

The Collector’s limited license to display the Digital Artwork, includes, but is not limited to, the right to display the Digital Artwork privately or publicly: (i) for the purpose of promoting or sharing the Collector’s purchase, ownership, or interest, (ii) for the purpose of sharing, promoting, discussing, or commenting on the Digital Artwork; (iii) on third party marketplaces, exchanges, platforms, or applications in association with an offer to sell, or trade, the Digital Artwork; and (iv) within decentralized virtual environments, virtual worlds, virtual galleries, virtual museums, or other navigable and perceivable virtual environments.

Collectors have the right to sell, trade, transfer, or use their Digital Artwork, but Collectors may not make “commercial use” of the Digital Artwork.
You get nothing but a limited license to display the art non-commercially. Now what does Foundation get?

quote:

The Creator hereby acknowledges, understands, and agrees that launching a Digital Artwork on Foundation constitutes an express and affirmative grant to Foundation, its affiliates and successors a non-exclusive, world-wide, assignable, sublicensable, perpetual, and royalty-free license to make copies of, display, perform, reproduce, and distribute the Digital Artwork on any media whether now known or later discovered for the broad purpose of operating, promoting, sharing, developing, marketing, and advertising the Platform, or any other purpose related to Foundation, including without limitation, the express right to: (i) display or perform the Digital Artwork on the Platform, a third party platform, social media posts, blogs, editorials, advertising, market reports, virtual galleries, museums, virtual environments, editorials, or to the public; (ii) create and distribute digital or physical derivative Digital Artwork based on the Digital Artwork; (iii) indexing the Digital Artwork in electronic databases, indexes, catalogues; and (iv) hosting, storing, distributing, and reproducing one or more copies of the Digital Artwork within a distributed file keeping system, node cluster, or other database (e.g., IPFS) or causing, directing, or soliciting others to do so.
An almost unlimited license to do whatever the gently caress they want with the art!

Given you can print it out, trace it over or anything, indirectly yes. My point is that you can go to an art museum and copy whatever you see even though it's owned by someone else. It's a nature of art whether physical or digital.

One of those things is made of paint on canvas and the other one is made of data on your phone. Your copy is not the same; it is not made of the same materials, you cannot display it the same way. If you print it, you still lose the physical nature of the original being paint on canvas; your print becomes ink on canvas or more likely ink on paper. The physical art cannot be duplicated exactly.

With an NFT, my copy of the data, which was downloaded by my browser in order to display the image to me, is necessarily identical to your copy of the data. Except the thing you own isn't that copy of the data, it's a hash of a text file indicating but not guaranteeing the location where it was being hosted at the time of the NFT's creation.

Do you not understand this? Is it too complicated for you?

E: Even if we get to the point of being able to 3d print with arbitrary materials, your set of those materials is not the same as the set used for the original; they are newer, they have not aged the same way; they were not used in the construction of the original. The inherently fungible nature of digital data means that there is no difference between the set of bits that makes up "your" copy of a piece of digital art and "my" copy of it. In order to put it onto a hosting service, it was copied to that service's storage.

strange feelings re Daisy posted:

It hasn't crashed yet. The New York Attorney General ordered them to issue a full audit of their reserves and they haven't done that yet. They hired a company in the Cayman Islands that did an attestation on their total assets. That report doesn't specify how much liquid USD they have. In fact the total assets would include bitcoin purchased with fraudulently printed Tether so the attestation is useless.

They are based in the Bahamas, which releases reports on total banking reserves. There has not been enough USD imported into the entire Bahamian banking system in the last year to match what Tether is printing. It's completely impossible they have 1:1 backing.

The thing is, they already admitted this in April 2019 when they said Tether is only 74% backed by USD. There was no crash when they released that information. I believe the NYAG audit deadline is in late May. Let's say that happens and it turns out Tether is 55% backed by USD. Will that information cause a crash when the revelation of 74% backing didn't? I don't know.

what blows me away is they did this exact. same. scam. years ago and they're just.... doing it again. and it's working

I mean, it's probably worth 1000 BTC worth of metal and brick even if someone has to dismantle it and then transport the parts to be melted down and re-used.

Then again you're only getting a picture so... 10 BTC.

But it is an NFT so let's say 100 BTC.

I've been busy trying so I haven't had time to process NFTs, but I am getting around to it...

Is my understanding correctly, that it is basically a blockchain receipt from a digital gallery that you "own" the right to display, but not actually possess the actual copyright to a file that is capable of being exactly reproduced an unlimited number of times without relieving it's provenience, like the actual ultra-high end art market is absolutely full of forgeries, scams and why photographs dictate a much smaller market than sculptures and paintings?

Like, literally the only difference between me making a copy of a Beeple file and displaying it in my home and the person that paid money for it is some pedantic nerd will argue with me that while it is completely identical in every way, I don't have the receipt?

That doesn't make sense, at least in the case of artificial scarcity of art, the original negatives and molds are destroyed? Literally no one is like "Well, I actually subscribed to Brazzers to download this video, I didn't get it off some piracy site, I can show you the receipt! :smug: " Like even in digital "art", there has always been some nominal DRM/actionable copyright mechanism and even then people didn't even really care if they had an easy way to bypass it.

This is somehow ever incredibly dumber than Bitcoin if I understand it correctly, which I believe I do.

I feel like this is like getting into some sort of argument with someone I printed a photo for on if it was printed in Genuine HP Photo Archival Ink TM.

no. it's dumber than that

What the hype says and what the fine print says are so divergent that it's effectively fraud. "This is a new form of ownership!" is the blurb. The contract says "you get poo poo and we retain everything and gently caress you." It'd be one thing if they actually attempted it, but they don't; the operators know that they can't effectively convey anything via NFT.

Bitcoin invoice addresses help a recipient know that the bitcoin they received came from a particular person (and not someone else saying that they were actually the person who sent X amount of BTC to an address). They are single-use, and very often have a time limit. Popular wallet Electrum defaults to 1 day when you create a request, but it can be as short as 10 minutes or as long as a week. Technically you can have ones that never time out, as well, though they're still only single-use.

Yes, this is as stupid as it sounds.

They only allow you a certain window to complete the transaction because the Bitcorn price in real currency swings so wildly.

Bitcorn payments aren't instant, they're processed about every 10 minutes. And about once a year, a new block doesn't get found for 40 minutes+. So if you're unlucky, you'll miss the payment window even doing everything right.

After that, they seem to wait some additional hours to make sure the transaction wasn't included in an orphaned chain.
