- swiftcoder 1mo agoThe idea of personalised pixels goes back way before NFTs, such as The Million Dollar Homepage[1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage
- 4thguy 1mo agoJeez, that takes me back. I could have sworn that it was earlier than 2005 though
- LelouBil 1mo agoSo, simply a *centralized* database? Like a plain old database ? "NFT without the Blockchain" is a weird thing to say
- ben_w 1mo agoIn fairness, nothing about the initials "non fungible token" ever really required a blockchain. Though I suppose the only things which I'm aware of which actually benefit from a blockchain was version control systems like git. (I heard there's some cases where self-executing contractual obligations are a money saver versus proving you're not engaged in unlawful collusion with the counterparty, but as this didn't come from a lawyer I don't even know if that was true).
