Not like a hash would be much better, as changing one pixel would give you a different hash, but at least it would represent a specific version of an image, a URL could change to anything tomorrow.
- paulgb 5y agoSome NFT platforms use IPFS, which as I understand it is basically hash of the content plus a mechanism for finding it as long as someone keeps hosting it. Of all the things associated with web3, IPFS is the only thing I’ve found that I think is kinda neat.
- lottin 5y agoIt doesn't make any difference. The so-called "asset" is just a piece of digital information, e.g. a picture, which can be copied by anyone for free. As a result, owning such an asset on a blockchain doesn't confer any advantage to the owner. The owner has the same rights over the asset as the people who don't own it.
