They're obviously implemented really poorly. When I first heard about them I assumed that the data was packaged with the token. I have no idea why they use a web server link instead, because you're absolutely correct that it undermines their ability to confer original ownership.

It currently costs approximately $100,000 to store 1MB of data on the Ethereum blockchain, having cost at least $300,000 per MB in the past week.
I dunno if the storage cost would be the same for every transaction of the token though.

to be fair the US is full of these make-work jobs; i've seen elevator operators in the US, also people who tell you when to cross crosswalks, greeters in stores, baggers in stores etc. just completely bizarre useless jobs just to make sure there's enough jobs for people to slave at. Is this a sign of an empire collapsing maybe? a desperate scramble to create enough jobs?

Worked as a sandwich maker in a mall.
We made croutons by chopping up the bread by hand with a knife, but a blender could have done the job faster.

A ton of other things could have also been automated.

I realized that: that job was an acting job. I was performing being a sandwich maker to give the buyer the feeling of freshness.

It could have been like the 1950's where it was a big wall with little doors, and you pay to get the food out.
I didn't have to be seen making the food.

I was performing freshness.

The government should provide makework jobs in the form of a new WPA/CCC, so we don't waste labor on being walmart greeters and elevator attendants when we could do things that benefit the public like area beautification and building public parks

"it cant be that dumb, you must be explaining it wrong"

each block on the chain has a set size
each transaction has a "fee" that goes to the network
the combination of the two means the fewer bytes in the transaction, the more likely it will be included because more "fees" can be collected
this also means a transaction with more bytes in it has to have a larger "fee" to make up for all the smaller ones it is crowding out

I understand what gas fees are on etherium but how can they possibly be in the thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars? Aren't they trying to make a currency?

I want to back to the old days of reading the bitcoin thread when the worst thing crypto had done was dry some strawberries and give a libertarian brain damage. Now all the gpus are expensive, we're wasting electricity which could have powered many WoW characters, and every loving thread has to talk about crypto all the time

it's expensive on purpose, because they basically wrote a currency-based programming language that runs user-supplied code on the network, except it's also decentralized so there's no admin who can step in to fix things if someone writes a program that fucks it all up

charging people a massive premium for doing anything more complex or resource-intensive than sending coins is basically the closest thing to an anti-abuse safeguard they have
