NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) - Files as crypto currency

He spends more time talking about NFTs themselves than he does Yo Mama and Annoying Orange, mainly focusing on the negatives, them being the environmental impact, the harm they have done to artists, and how using them is not socially acceptable (wut). He focuses in on a Twitter thread made by the founder of DogeCoin to make his points, and as someone who doesn't really listen to anything Art Twitter or Crypto Twitter says, his logic sounded fine to me. Am I missing something?

Thanks for this link the video information presented is the best I’ve seen yet on the subject

Edit: this is a horrifying waste of computing power we could be using to advance mankind or literally anything better. Do what you want but our priorities are fucked up. Or rather the elite’s priorities. It’s totally utopian to think things can go on like this indefinitely. Where’s Ted Kaczynski?

I have a couple of my own theories, but since one of the things you can do with NFTs is set them up so that they're transferable licenses for which the originator rights holder gets a royalty each time they're sold, there's speculation that they want to build something that'll let game devs get a cut of resales.

I dunno what aspects you have in mind but it probably will cheapen some processes quite a bit. Standardisation and history/trust features are nice for contract-forming, comparing notes to get to the bottom of shit without wasting time in court (and fewer opportunities for conflicts to occur in the first place, which in aggregate certainly counts as streamlining), etc. Contract arbitration can be pretty case-by-case but standardisation helps with that too, although most of that example really has nothing to do with the contract medium itself. The system can be designed to reduce or mitigate opportunities for abuse but it's asking a lot for software to make people fundamentally honest.

Forget meme bullshit; the potential for lower legal overhead is one of the things that's attractive to business adopters. Courts have to weigh evidence (say agreement dates again, something people might fudge in a dispute) but as it becomes more conventional I wouldn't be surprised if standard precedent favours distributed ledgers, again relevant to research and the whole not wasting time in court thing.

Are smart contracts already considered a legal binding contract in any country? like you can bring one to a court and its the same as a big paper contract signed by a lawyer/notary?

I remember when SCs showed up like 3-4 years ago and everybody said that in the future those would be the same as paper contracts

Nearly half a decade later, is it like that? which countries do? do they also take NFTs as proof of ownership? or I have to go into a lengthy and expensive legal battle because I got a token while the other side has a full legal contract?

As long as the legal requirements for a contract are satisfied (consideration etc, varies by jurisdiction) it doesn't matter what agreements are written on. They don't generally need to be written down at all to be binding, in fact. But when it comes to disputes they act as specific evidence, which a distributed ledger is really good for and I'd imagine would be very strong in court, particularly if the timeline is a factor.
NFTs have been used for things like share offerings and they're as real as anything else.

Maybe. That's one theory; we'll find out soon. There's speculation that could be for a special dividend (of shares) which would continue to be traded that way.
But that's not the impression I get from the website. I like the idea that they'll use em for game licenses. Which would make them transferable and allow devs to get a cut from resales.
Edit: oh I said that already

Can you name one case where the courts accepted a smart contract?

Theory? what? who is making this? how you know they actually have gme stock?

Why wouldn't they be when a handshake is? Generally the only exception to that is transferring real estate.
Assuming you're talking about the US:
In 2018, a US Senate report said: "While smart contracts might sound new, the concept is rooted in basic contract law. Usually, the judicial system adjudicates contractual disputes and enforces terms, but it is also common to have another arbitration method, especially for international transactions."

A bunch of states have legislation already officially recognising smart contracts but that's not strictly necessary.

Man look at the URL. Gamestop is making it, they're transforming to a digital platform under a new chairman. They announced whatever this initiative is a week ago.

Wyoming, Tennessee, Nevada, Arizona. Maybe others, I dunno. But like I said that shouldn't really be a necessary step in most places. There's more complexity to it but all that matters is you reached an agreement (even if it wasn't explicit, sometimes) which meets the requirements to satisfy contract formation, not how you render it.
If you find a precedent post it but searching for those is usually a pain in the ass so I didn't try.

Precedent goes a long way, once its there you dont even have to bother with the courts since whoever disputes your SC their lawyer will tell them they got fucking zero chances of beating you since there was already a case like that and they lost

As for NFTs, again if some court or state/nation recognizes those as proof of copyright/ownership then it makes all the difference because it legitimates the medium

Oh, we have an NFT thread already, cool. Look at this shit, guys https://twitter.com/LazyLionsNFT
Look at it and tell me, how much weed one must smoke to consider spending money on these? I'm not an expert on NFTs, but I feel like there should be at least a few hundred options of buying something with at least some pretense to aestetics.

Those are just some shitty adoptables like you see on DeviantArt.

NFT's are retarded money.

Like the pumpers of GMC and DOGE, NFTS are hot as fuck rn, and probably the most retarded money you could accumulate. Unlike these however, it seems that they are here to stay. The amount of money that gets thrown at this virtual autism is astounding and still increasing as we speak. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on this garbage and there are groups who have made careers out of flipping these things daily. Fucking Steph Curry (basketball nigga) owns one for christ sake, along with several other mainstream celebs. The market is growing and people should be utilizing this before the government starts hammering down regulations.

My proposal is this: @Null gets some artwork or commissions someone (maybe even start an art contest?) then lists it as an NFT on opensea, and makes some sheckles.

*how would he get the money? payment processors won't touch that nigga with a 20 yard stick*

NFTS use Ethereum.

*opensea and every other place to sell NFTs will kick him off once trannies start harassing the companies*

Most likely not. Stonetoss just sold his NFT collection for 7 eth collectively, and he did just fine.

*who the fuck would buy this shit? didn't you just say it was garbage?*

Value with these things is subjective, if the arts good enough and the buyer wants to support Josh, I don't see why not.


Am I saying this is full proof? lol no. Obviously the farms rep is much more notorious then stonetoss and it could get sniped regardless, but with the amount of money creators are getting from these it's kind of hard to ignore.

Let me know what you guys think.

Just have Jersh commission digital artwork from the community and let him sell it. Maybe offer scaled down previews no larger than 800x600 and save the high quality images for people who pay. Users get to support the forum without jumping through ridiculous crypto hoops and dog jannie keeps the shekels. Win-win.

Ytubers and twitch streamers alike sell jpegs that usually call back or reference an in-joke that’s related to their channel. Josh could do the same thing.
