Reminder that this a poor line of thinking.
The average user of a smartphone has no idea how it works. The average user of software has no idea how their apps work. The average user of a blockchain doesn't know how it works, and they won't need to. This stuff gets abstracted out and developed enough to hide these details over time.
- folli 5y agoI might have worded it poorly, but I completely agree with you. I was just trying to offer an explanation on why this isn't implemented more widely although the technical solution exists. Some time ago I worked on a proof-of-concept service to enable users to mint their NFTs while abstracting away all the complexities. I decided to go the same route (link only, no hash, no nothing), as the cost for NFT minting are already very high as it is (see https://nuftu.com/pricing https://nuftu.com/pricing for current costs on the Ethereum blockchain).
