This is a super interesting article.
I'd avoided looking into NFT's because the concept strikes me as being just, well, cringe, but I'd assumed at least that the chains stored the hash of a jpeg or something.
You're telling me that they're not even immutable? They really just store urls with _no checksum of what's on the other end of the url_!?

- throwaway22032 5y agoI suppose the point is that you should use an url that's content addressable right?

- donmcronald 5y agoThat’s the way I understood it and I was stunned. I absolutely love that he used a poop emoji for the NFT that you’d see in your wallet. Haha.
