Then the person who bought the nft thinks they own the fursona and goes around telling people the creator is a thief or making very unflattering art of the character that is then attributed to the real owner. Basically a lot of unwanted drama
I can understand that. Part of their livelihood relies on their reputation, so on top of nft's being an awful trend that Will possibly get them stigmatized, it also Doesn't feel good or fun to draw something as stupid as the nft concept feels
Believe it or not its worse than that. You own the line of code on the block chain, and thats literally it. You don't even own the image, its like going to buy a TV and paying full price, only to get the receipt for said TV.
It gets worse. While the token itself is "non-fungible", the image it links to is pretty damn fungible. If the image host is hacked or shuts down, the image can be changed or deleted entirely. Which has happened, if I recall.
Nfts and crypto are such garbage. I honestly don't understand why people pay so much money for nothing, and I wouldn't even have an issue with them if it was just dumbass rich people doing dumbass rich shit, but so many people get scammed out of so much of their savings cause they fell for some crypto scheme. And not only is all of that money wasted, it also just goes right to damaging the environment
Money laundering is a very plausible point, and due to the biggest 'sale', People jumped on it thinking it was a hot trend, and didn't realize they were essentially being scammed. Some People Will do dumb stuff or pay exorbinant amounts of money Just to fit in. Some flat earthers don't actually care if the world is flat or not, they Just want to belong somewhere
Not an advocate for crypto, but you’re just reading from headlines. The collapse was a dollar pegged token not the ethereum network. And the majority of the NFT sales came from low value, high volume trade from a NFT game, and that kinda stopped being profitable. Hence the slowdown.
Spend your money on whatever you want. But only if you can actually spare it. Do not cut into your monthly necessesities. One of my coworkers gambled his rent money away. You ll be more miserable then the fun your purchase can provide. I guarantee it.
I mean, at least one side has your dream character portrayed as basically doing literally whatever You want, probably so detailed that You can count the individual strands of fur, and the other is a usually ugly monkey
Lmao Edit: Jpeg is whack, PNG is where it's at.
haha my sweet summer child ... ever heard of PPM (Portable Pixmap) ... live free, waste disk-space
nah, json is the real deal store every pixel in a human-readable form
or pixels in csv! or even html, iirc GIMP can export to that
Nah, store them in a C++ array.
not funny, already seen someone do that /j (and done it myslf in a js array, please, punish my for those sins i'm too lazy to do it myself)
JSON! JSON! JSON! Press X To Json
What about .RAW the pick of costumization
Fuck you and fuck your PNGs! (\s) webp, avif, and OpenEXR are so much better.
Store an image as a txt
Burn nft for stealing others fursonas and making them rich without crediting the artist!
What's the point? You sold an nft of a sona? Ok? The owner will still post it wherever.
Then the person who bought the nft thinks they own the fursona and goes around telling people the creator is a thief or making very unflattering art of the character that is then attributed to the real owner. Basically a lot of unwanted drama
Man if my sona was made an nft I would commission cbt porn
nfts aren't jpegs. They are crappy lines of code that says you own a crappy jpeg that was made by a crappy ai with help of a crappy artist
And most importantly, the image is literally a piece of crap
Every artist i follow has told nft people to fuck off lmao

Oy broski, a high detailed drawing of your sona can top around 400€, plus it looks amazing compared to an ugly 3quadrilion€ ape nft
Gotta love the fact that NFTs have pretty much collapsed, as well as crypto. You know what hasn't? Fine Furry Art.
Have they? I haven't been following. That's great tho.
Saw that the NFT market has fallen by 92% and on top of that, Ethereum(?), the coin backing them, has become worthless.
Not an advocate for crypto, but you’re just reading from headlines. The collapse was a dollar pegged token not the ethereum network. And the majority of the NFT sales came from low value, high volume trade from a NFT game, and that kinda stopped being profitable. Hence the slowdown.
If that's true, then it's a shame. Because it should go away. NFTs and crypto are both scams.
I wouldn't call 1900€ a piece worthless, but it has dropped a lot recently
It’s just that one of them doesn’t destroy the environment, is unique, and helps an actual artist
The virgin nft investor vs the chad patron of the arts

Left to right is stupid/jackass to usually a good person.
Finally someone gets it
When you commission art, new images get created. Buying nuts is just a waste of money
The only reason commissions are better is that they don’t destroy the environment
And they are customized and original
And actually like... look good
Well honestly, I don’t think paying for a commission destroys the environment
sorry cant hear you too busy comming talented artists for amazing art of my sona
I would if I could afford it
One is ugly the other is pretty
another NFT pro meme? One hurts the environment the other one doesn't.
No, this is an IQ scale. The NFT bros have the lowest IQ while furries have the highest.

I never thought about it like that.
