So the new con will be buying up a bunch of rooms and then marking them up on the secondary market? Cool.

LeeMajors posted:Do you trust the universe to snuff this out? Snuff it out? Probably not, but like most crypto and particularly NFTs I just don't see it being widespread at all. It's a solution without a problem. Worried about guests cancelling? Make non-refundable rates. The system outlined isn't consumer friendly and even looks overcomplicated for the hotels looking to utilize such a system.

I agree with y’all overall. I hope it doesn’t become more widespread but I also thought crypto, despite being a total loving scam, is going to defraud millions of well-meaning dummies while collapsing the power grids of South America and Texas, and pushing us even more aggressively over a climate tipping point. It’s just another reminder of how profoundly stupid everything is and, buddy, it’s wearing on me.

Some possible reason?

Attaching NFT to a ticket system just seems dumb as hell buzzword nonsense. It's just doing the loving venue ticket thing for hotel rooms, which loving sucks, but is normal scumbaggery for tourist traps.

I wish we’d stop trying to make NFTs a thing. It means nothing and gives a bunch of do-nothing dorks with god complexes and more money than brains an avenue to sell a bunch of even dumber corporate execs with colorful spreadsheets.

Like the article mentions it seems to set up a ticket scalping situation in the end, but that's betting high on whoever you sign a contract with if the crypto guys are working in good faith and will actually pay if they can't sell the rooms (  ). I mean, you ever try to scalp tickets to an Orioles game?

Luckily the NFT markets themselves have pretty much taken care of that, it's now just down to the particularly slow and stupid companies reacting to 6 months ago, anyone sensible has cut bait already.

I mean, I know not all these folks are competent but this gives a lot of leeway to really gently caress some poo poo up for normal people who are working hard to afford vacations for their kids.

I really hope you're right and it seems like people woke up to NFTs a lot faster than they have to Crypto. I'm just being a huge downer because the constant barrage of poo poo about the degradation of voting rights and campaign finance regulation coupled with the outright extremism on the right has me feeling pretty hopeless atm.

It's (not actually) surprising the journalist writing this article can't see the glaring difference between Zillow etc. risking their own money on home flips, vs. a real estate agent funneling listings to clients. The agent risks nothing, he just picks up his 2.5-3% commission on each sale.

It’d be nice to go to a sunny beach right now. Tempted to say the beach drink would be margarita but I think something more fruity would be appropriate. What’s the TFFer go-to beach beverage?

Speaking of scalping, any Chicago goons know the best practice for selling (or want to buy) Riot Fest tickets? I impulse bought a three day pass while drunk this past winter and only later realized I really can’t afford Chicago/festival food prices and hotel rates for an entire weekend lol
