They're also pretty good at demonstrating how a borderless financial system can facilitate innovation and development whilst retaining IP without VCs (Aave, Uniswap).

Tamper proof timestamping is just a small part of blockchains and they exist in parallel with different security guarentees. Blockchains aren't going to dissappear so in my mind the only good solution is to educate instead of fear mong

When it comes to NFTs who's being scammed? Longer term crypto investors, CEOs of companies and already wealthy that are buying these NFTs? It's not that difficult to look through each wallet and see their substantial holdings. I a

It's not about the price but about what is being secured. If Bitcoin's market cap was $1Q and used as a global financial settlement layer then there is some threshold where "it's just the price we currently pay "

That's quite an intersting follow to see how our legal frameworks react.

Most of the value in digital assets comes from creator reputation. This scarcity is what drives up the price. It's not a coincidence that the most expensive NFTs are linked to a celebrity, meme or established artist.

The concept of digital ownership really is a complicated topic, even before distributed hash technology people on forums commonly discussed "is (digital) piracy stealing?". DHT and are new and NFTs are a completely different model

For buyers a lot of value of the NFT doesn't come from the bits that make up the image but creator's prior reputation. Like art NFT's representation is only secondary to the artist. This can be plainly seen by looking at the

I very much dislike your analogy. The NFTs that you hear about that are being sold for high amounts are created by people that already have reputations. Unlike stars or plots on the moon every NFT has an artist that created it. Artists and

You can complete the chain from the Wikipedia article by following the citations in the "Social media presence" section. Different platforms have different requirements to be authenticated. Most tailored platforms will have specif

From reading the litepaper I have the same understanding. It's even worse becuase if you were in contact with the nodes directly you could simulate unwrapping on a fork - here they would not suffer any economic consequences. On the oth

Can you expand on why? In this case you're trusting asymmetric cryptography, the liveness of the EVM and the third parties is motivated by money. The attorney just acts as the third party and is responsible for the "liveness"

I wonder what the gas costs are in comparison, contact deployment is reasonable expensive. I wonder if that's why they modeled it this way.

Public key cryptography and using the same platform ( https://www.arweave.org/ ) would do.

This is exactly what is proposed, the signed transaction is just a transaction as all transactions are signed.

The oracle is the user who's locking up the file. They have to periodically call a smart contact to show they are alive.

Yes, apart from the outline'd protocol fees you would need to pay gas fees to create and maintain the casket. There is also a theoretical break even for archaeologists if gas fees rose above the reward.

Try reading anything that has been modeled using game theory, it's just as bad if not worse. As an example here ( https://i.imgur.com/8Unt5fD.jpg ) is a notation table for atomic swaps.

The sarcophagus is Enc_arch(Enc_recip(data)) so unwrapping it off chain isn't useful to them. The only case it would be useful is if they collude with the recipient. I'm not sure how this procotol disincentives this.

I am struggling to think of better terms, and using the original game theory or specific terms don't help either.

The kind of economic games are a staple for decentralisation. Unfortunately economic games are inhenrantly complex to visualise or explain. I think the terminology used here does a pretty decent job of trying to explain what's going on

If I wasn't clear, the market price is just a variable that could be set. If they wanted they could set this at the initial sale price.

Blockchains are definitely oversold and overhyped but they do make improvements in certain areas. It's like discounting TOR just because steaming youtube is a lesser experience. Their use of consensus mechanisms make what was implicit

You're making quite a few points, some I agree with and some I don't. > NFTs are just like generating random numbers and then bidding who of the rich will give more money. > Art progresses human knowledge, spirit and soul it

That's correct. Even any of the off the shelf tools would have spotted it so it's safe to conclude this was intentional. Audits aren't the be all end all either, a determined scammers could have added the backdoor after the a

I'm not sure what your question is. In brief a mixer could works like the following: Multiple people put money into a pot, in return they get an voucher that anyone can redeem. At some later point in time someone redeems some money fro

Glad you found it useful! Smart contacts are intersting stuff. Your best bet is probably a reddit pm (not their new chat feature), my username is the same. I should get twitter but it's one of those things I never really got into.
