ipfs

I’m not actually that supportive of “forever” or “permanent” NFTs. Using onchain data for NFT data is a waste of space imo. 

Why bother with IPFS then? Because like most things in nature, preservation happens when people care. If people don’t care about a particular NFT then it can be cleared off the network and reduced data waste. If people do care then anyone can grab the CID and pin it to ensure its persistence on IPFS. 

The difference between using centralized storage and IPFS is that it gives the people a choice as to what should be preserved, rather than someone just flipping the switch on their Cloudflare account.

Is Da Vinci Responsible for Maintaining the Mona Lisa?

ok banger 😅

(i am not going to read the article, the subtitle is marvelous, got the point)

tho, mona lisa is an exception, what about if I die today and ten years later my family discover the nft collections and want to preserve, they will dissapear next month, means that first thing they have to do after my death is to backup my nfts

are we solving this only for the mona lisa? if yes, mona lisa may don't need our help, if activists does not burn it claiming to preserve the esrth 😅 (all my support for ecologists, tho ✊)

In charge of their data? Absolutely https://medium.com/pinata/who-is-responsible-for-nft-data-99fb4e8147e4
