Starting my day researching IPFS providers. Building an NFT tool for /cryptoart and /muse and trying to be very cautious of runaway expenses. I can imagine if i were enable video minting, costs could skyrocket quickly. And seeing the costs of arweave pinning, I cannot fathom how @manifoldxyz affords it.

The easiest approach and the one I'll likely take is to use pinata.cloud for now, and set a maximium file-size for media. I previously worked at an NFT startup which used IPFS but did not pay for any ipfs providers, and many of those links have already rotted. I feel like the two-tier /cryptoart @hypersub will be a good solution for enabling greater file-sizes. but what happens in the case when a single person mints 1000 NFTs all of maximum file-size, and my pinning costs become higher than my subscription revenue? I'm thinking way too far into the future with these questions, but I am genuinely wondering how major platforms like @rarible manage it.

You're going to face the same link rot and lost asset issues as everyone else unless you use a "pre paid" solution like Arweave or the NFT's native token chain. Anything else is just pushing the problem to the future. Once the bills stop getting paid the asset goes away.

Yes for sure, important point. Arweave Is so pricey in comparison to ipfs. I wonder how manifold can afford it. I would have to calculate the cost at mint time and bake it into the minting transaction. Not sure what alternative there is
