All: please keep threads like this from degenerating into the same-old-flamewar we've already had hundreds of times at this point. It has become super tedious. Also, tedious threads inevitably turn nasty (<a href="https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=mind%20amuse%20by:dang" rel="nofollow">https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...</a>).<p>If you have something genuinely new or curious to say, great. Otherwise please move on.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html</a>
I see that CSVCHAIN is "held in cold storage on this USB drive" a 1 GB thumb drive. This seems to imply an upper bound on the number of NFTs on CSVCHAIN. How, I wonder, does the creator of this project expect to scale CSVCHAIN beyond this limit?<p>Additionally, can we secure guarantees that the project owner is safely ejecting the USB drive in question?
Has anybody ever thought of something like a real world NFT? Imagine if you took a bunch of dried plant pigments and mixed them with oil and smeared them onto a canvas. Because it is physical it couldn't be duplicated or double-spent and it has a simple materials-based minting cost. I don't think anybody has done this before and there is probably a large market for buying and selling something like this. These are early days.
Where's the smart contract capability? Smart contracts are important in certain applications, which is why I store purchases in XML and do transformative contracts in XSLT. Version 2.0 of XSLT is Turing-Complete, with the added advantage that XSLT syntax is a specialized form of XML, so I only have to use one syntax for coins and contracts. I call mine Dotcom Bubble Chain.

This is amazing. It might actually make it easier for me to explain what NFTs <i>actually</i> are if they're completely separated from a blockchain and the rest of the malarkey.
I'm a huge NFT enthusiast and collector. This project gets NFTs exactly right. It's frankly refreshing to see someone seemingly get it - most of the critiques are just so bad. It's just that: I don't see the problem at all. I'd encourage you all to buy NFTs on CSVChain, ideally from real artists committed to their craft.
This is roycoding, the creator of CSVchain. Thanks everyone for checking it out.<p>Just so you know, I currently have a bit of a backlog of requests to manually process.<p>This was all very unexpected. I made this recently and then today started getting messages that Matt Levine wrote about something similar in his newsletter today. I tweeted at him and he then tweeted about it to his large following. So here we are on HN!<p>If you've contacted me, I promise to message you back, but it might take a day or so.
Even better: Shiitcoin, a zero-free blockchain whose ledger is Google Sheets:<p><pre><code> - https://github.com/nalinbhardwaj/shiit-coin

I know this is a gag, but it misses the point.<p>NFTs are interesting because they support smart contracts, use a cryptocurrency wallet system to manage value and ownership, can be minted in quantities > 1, support unlockable content, etc.
Amazing website! I think it also (inadvertently) paints a very clear value proposition as to why NFTs make more sense on a blockchain than on a central service.
Most NFTs are pretty much a scam, but:<p>This is the kind of joke for people that think they are clever but don't really understand the situation. Its kind an ignorant position, reminds me of a 'brb downloading RAM' joke. Or sending someone a plastic Bitcoin. or Faxing dollar bills.<p>Someone made a web site, ok. Guess we don't need fancy Blogging platforms now.
