I’m not suggesting every artist make their own, rather that a generic all purpose art sale/resale/royalty contract on the Ethereum blockchain seems easy-ish to do (I might try it) and then... just instantiate it with yourself as the artist and whatever signature you want? Sorry if that’s not the right word, but however one deploys a contract object. I don’t understand how this is any more susceptible to cloning or any other problem. Maybe also not less susceptible but I still don’t get the value add of the NFT versus basically just a good transparent contract with a few things stored. I do get the value add of the gallery/dealer but what’s their advantage in using the NFT instead of a contract? Is it just so Beeple can set numerology prices in USD? Still feel like I’m missing something fundamental here, I’m usually not more right than everyone else.
