Sure but nobody sets their email address on “block any address I don’t recognize” - would be pretty annoying to receive new emails that way. And gmails email filters didn’t exist when email was new - surely wallets will add new security and filtering features as time goes on, the way all technologies evolve.

Sending a token to a burn address doesn’t execute the payload either - not really any difference

The video is a decent overview but it’s clearly approaching the subject with a certain popular agenda (an agenda that’s gonna lead to millions of views and ad revenue for him... not a bad thing, but the same type of criticism you can apply to crypto promoters).

It’s beyond me how anyone can think NFTs won’t be a major part of games in the future. I think we can all probably agree the game industry is going to continue to grow and evolve (setting aside all the metaverse stuff). Financialization of in-game assets is all but guaranteed as games become more important parts of…

this vid is very well made but extremely biased - anyone watching this to learn about the subject should know it’s like watching fox news to learn about Obama

Hades has too much focus on permanent upgrades for my taste. When I die and upgrade and the next run is easier, is it cause I’m getting better or cause my character’s stats are better. It’s useful how it allows any skill level to play until the game is easy enough for them, but that goes against the appeal that…

I gave them to her. Enjoy my crabs

Yeah you make a lot of good points. It does seem a bit like a con trying to mislead people about copyright.

Nice, still reading through this thread, yeah this does seem even dumber than I thought. Of course I doubt they actually make a show but it’ll be interesting to see if the governance implodes or they actually produce something. Creating a terrible show would be hilarious, maybe they will get their own documentary made…

Sorry for being pedantic but the Spice tokens aren’t an NFT because they are not non-fungible. They are more like a cryptocurrency.

Well the book has already been made public in the past

You’re certainly getting emotional over this. Did your wife leave you for an NFT millionaire?

Well reading over the dune.foundation site, it doesn’t feel very scummy to me. I’m not sure if this project was inspired by ConstitutionDAO or not, but it feels like another case of people seeing what wacky thing they can buy by banding together, not like people hoping for a return on their investment. What they do…

lol yeah maybe I picked an ironic example but the other commenter mentioned something about Star Wars and Spaceballs came to mind. SpiceDAO does seem very very silly overall but I think even if it devolves into a complete train-wreck, which is likely, other DAOs can look at it and learn some lessons about the…

Yeah I don’t disagree with anything you said but I think it’s funny the way these kotaku anti-NFT articles interpret things in the worst possible light, sometimes so eager to dunk on crypto bros that they aren’t even accurate. When there are Mario fangames you don’t see a kotaku headline calling them loser morons for…

I don’t think that saying really applies in this case. The article presents itself as a series of gotchas that don’t really make sense, implying that the buyer didn’t understand 10 copies of the book existed, implying that they think they own the full rights to the story now.

No, I think you’ll dig your heels in and keep forcing yourself to laugh as crypto and NFTs become more and more widely accepted

What are the incorrect assumptions about ownership? I’m not optimistic about them actually making an animated series but “inspired by” leaves a lot of room to avoid infringement. Here’s a movie inspired by Star Wars that somehow got made:

Hell no... thank god I’m not a moron who sold a cryptopunk for $2.7m, bought my parents a house, let my dad retire early thanks to my crypto investments. Can you imagine how silly he must feel?
