Nothing at all. Breaking data out of small silos into one large database opens up possibilities like this.
- munk-a 5y agoSo as a user I could either purchase one of these NFTs and give you money - or just generate my own NFT and use it to get your stuff for free?
- IanCal 5y agoNo, the NFTs are uniquely identifiable.
- munk-a 5y agoSo if the original issuer of an NFT goes out of business I, as another studio, can't continue to print tokens for the same asset? (I mean I guess I could print a duplicate line - but I couldn't carry on the same line).
- andybak 5y agoThe NFT is unique - not the thing it points to. Anyone can mint an NFT to point to anything. There's no guarantee beyond what's traceable on the blockchain. Once the NFT "points" to something outside of the blockchain, then all bets are off.
- pwinnski 5y agoYeah, as a gamedev, let me rush to do that right away, because, um, well, um, nope.
