In the NFT scenario , what would prevent people from sharing licenses?

The merchant is also an end user, and they lose the money.

Yes, exactly like you can't distinguish wiring money to someone intentionally vs wire fraud.
904.

I don't think this discussion is going anywhere, but you most certainly can irrevocably lose money with wire fraud. Even many debit cards are not covered from fraud. And we are comparing Bitcoin and wire fraud.

If you wire money to a fraudulent account, it's gone forever. Unless you can track down the fraudsters for criminal charges.
906.
by anamexis 5y ago
My point is that you distinguish it in the exact same way as you distinguish a charge from a cloned credit card, or a bank transfer with a stolen password, or cash swiped out of a wallet. In all cases, the fraudulent money is used in exactl

Maybe fraudulent wire transfers would be a better analogy, but I don't think this is fundamentally different than traditional banking. You determine if a charge was fraudulent by whether or not you authorized it.

How is it trivial to determine if a charge was fraudulent? Fraudulent charges are made in the exact same way as genuine ones.

How is it any different than determining if a credit card charge was fraudulent? Either way, someone "figured out a way" to extract funds.

That safesenders list thing sounds insane. How many companies add their own domain to that?

But at the end of the day, you're not reselling the art, you're reselling the NFT. There's nothing that makes this capability unique to NFTs or crypto - you could sell a license to an artwork that has similar terms.

> So to the extent that NFTs can enable that, I'm tentatively onboard. And what extent is that? There are plenty of ways to send money to an artist, both with crypto and without. What value do NFTs add, as far as patronizing artists

When I switched away from Gmail, I used my password manager to track the logins I needed to change. Then, just monitored the Gmail inbox for anything I missed.

Let's form a committee to decide on a plan.

The continuous payment is an important point. But for the sample size of me, I feel like I am far more likely to keep paying for cheap cloud storage for 10 years than I am to adequately maintain and test an offsite backup myself. And to be

I don't know, I would say B2 (or S3, etc.) are perfectly suitable as a secondary backup location. They are as durable or more durable than a NAS that I have in a friend's basement or something.

I use Arq with B2, which seems like a happy compromise.

What does active use really mean? The databases themselves are only accessed for a few nanoseconds at a time.

The point is that if you're going to pedantically correct someone, they need to be wrong. No one is wrong when they say rope.

by anamexis 5y ago
Unless you’re talking about ski lifts, where rope refers to wire ropes.

by anamexis 5y ago
Interestingly, the steel cables used by the cable cars are actually wrapped around a sisal rope.

No, rope is correct. Wire rope, more precisely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_rope

Health insurance is nearly always paid by the employer. And aren't US taxes quite low compared to much of Europe?

Not quite. Mixing alcohol and water results in a different total volume than the sum of the two before mixing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume#Volume_chang...

Thanks, I wasn't aware of those two! Riffing on those, I can also recommend DIY Perks. He makes pretty stunning electronics projects. https://www.youtube.com/c/DIYPerks
