Sad to see the news about Club NFT shutting down their NFT backup service. Not a good omen for the state of the NFT space.

Has anyone been able to renew a subscription just to download a backup? It seems my subscription lapsed in March..

We’re shutting down the ClubNFT backup service on May 31. Thank you to everyone who trusted us to help protect over 2 million NFTs. If you’re a subscriber, check your email for details and download your backups. We’re proud of what we built and grateful for your support. ❤️

ClubNFT help help highlight the gap between the promise "these NFTs will last forever on the blockchain" and the reality "this is on the internet and our pre-cloud computing backups are garbage and the early cloud stuff is not much better". If you don't store it with redundancy and checksums then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also think this could very much be a “trusted source puts something on GitHub that allows you to run some code in browser based on a wallet csv file and a pair of cloud storage folders”. Then it is up to the user to backup to physical drives.

Yeah, I’m not entirely surprised. Most people in crypto tend to look at the world in a very limited time frame, which means we can’t trust that the infrastructure will persist 10+ years.

Here’s hoping independent contractors start offering NFT backups as a bespoke service. That’s a free business idea for anyone listening..
