The term 'web3' is a grift in and of itself if referring to blockchain related junk-tech with no practical use-case other than scamming people or selling drugs.

bustin keaton posted:Eh, I get you but it could be possible for APIs to be deployed as part of some all new web paradigm. But on the broader point, yeah agree it's pretty shocking how piss poor Web 3.0 actually is in practice. Not even approaching anywhere near their own aims. The point is "Web3" is actually powered by Web2 style APIs run by a few central parties because interacting directly with the blockchain is highly impractical. Actually running the blockchain on client devices (as the "decentralized" marketing might lead you to believe) is often impossible.

Someone just contacted me through my artstation account wanting to make Totoro nfts with randomised fur colour, facial expressions, hats etc. 200 artwork layers in a week, 7 days to do it. Lol Also wants "unlimited revisions" whatever the gently caress that means Sure I'll help you rip off a copyrighted character for your scam dude Nevermind that the 3d catbus artwork that led you to me took over a week on its own

From what I do know about the art-making process, "unlimited revisions" means that they want to be able to go "I do not like this aspect, please change it in this manner" as many times as they want (most artists limit that to make sure you aren't constantly fiddling with it, at some point you have to make up your drat mind). Did they give you a quote, or were they waiting for your response before negotiating? Or did they just do the "for exposure" poo poo up front?

He was a bit sparse on the details, I assume if I had agreed to do the job more details and price would have been forthcoming but that isn't necessarily true either. The company I work for took on an nft artwork job last year in a quiet patch and these people operate entirely on building hype and creating the impression of rarity. They engage the artist/studio with no plan or creative direction and then make it up as they go along and constantly add and change things based on a whim or vibes they get from their socials or discords. This is nightmare client behaviour from the point of view of an artist or studio. 200 unique layers in a week is probably ok for bored ape level Photoshop sketches but my whole artstation is 3d sculptures and realistic stuff which takes a lot longer, he probably did a keyword search on artstation and contacted every artist with any Ghibli related content without really looking at their portfolio or style or skills Unlimited revisions means the artist will be getting notes in a month's time to change things and not paid cos it was in the initial price. No artist would it should agree to that, if the scope of work changes it should be quoted separately It's common for them to offer to pay you in ETH or in the nfts of your artwork once they've been created also lol I probably should have seen what kind of money was on offer but I'm too busy to bother and nft people gross me out

I could see this getting turned into some publishers supporting some dumb 64x64 icon bitmap that you can “own” and carry from game to game and have as your twitter icon or something like that and even then it would be a stretch. And would probably break so it would just show the “missing picture” default after 8 months when some exchange folds or whatever.

Which, if you actually try to approach it that way, means some kind of common 'skin' standard that everyone has to adhere to and is limited by and now we're back to what moxie was talking about with being bound by nigh-unchangeable decentralized standards.

One additional thing not explicitly stated in that thread: the model in question needs to be identical in each game down to the number and arrangement of polygons, even if it sticks out like a sore thumb next to everything else in the game, because if you gently caress with it at all then the texture mapping will break and your beanie will have stretchy sideways fabric textures and the logo on the front will be smeared somewhere around the back, and that's an absolute best case scenario. Until someone works out a very, VERY different method of constructing videogames at their absolute core, it is literally 100% impossible to just automate the problem away.

Honestly the only use case I can think of for NFTs is the one that no producer actually wants, and that’s giving users a way to sell used copies of licenses for games, music, etc. It would actually be very cool if you could sell a steam game when you were done with it as easily as a physical copy, but absolutely no game company would want to engage with that and lose sales to the secondary market. I wonder if there is a use case for something like high end CAD software licenses which I believe actually ARE transferable, but I doubt any company would rather do a blockchain lookup for their license check rather than just having the product phone home to their own servers. In any case, the only use cases I can think of are the ones where the NFTs would be divorced from any potential speculation, which of course completely ruins their use for 99% of the crypto community.

Have a family member who has gone deep into Bitcoin the last few months, is it a common thing now that they are trying to portray the amount of energy used as actually being a good thing and a feature? This has some big quotes from him trying to evangelise Bitcoin to other family members, so feel free to skip past this post if you're not interested in these looks into the mind of Bitcoiner. Opening post: quote:Money is a tool that allows us to convert one energy to another. Bitcoin is energy converted into electricity, converted into digital hash, converted into money. Bitcoin is energy money, the amount of energy that can be stored in Bitcoin is unlimited. Response to questions about how exactly it stores energy and why it's different to other crypto: quote:It’s so hard to explain this without writing a huge amount so I apologise but you’re gonna have to read more of my lovely writing. Response to question of how exactly he thinks it stores energy: quote:For it to make sense you have to see money as an energy system. So you spend your mental and physical energy working for people who pay you money. Money allows you to save that energy and trade it for different forms of energy. Like food or electricity for heating. Bitcoin has a supply cap so the monetary energy you store in it can’t be debased. Yes it is currently very volatile so the amount of monetary energy it stores isn’t stable but in the long term it trends upwards and the way it’s designed it can hold an unlimited amount of monetary energy. For a currency to be able to hold energy it has to have a lot of mutual trust, I don’t trust governments or anyone to be able to keep energy in a currency. This is why I use Bitcoin, there no counter party risk. quote:Thanks for commenting I really do appreciate it.

Prurient Squid posted:I was curious so I looked it up. What's really wild about this list is that Mercola has been doing his quack poo poo for years and years and years. He uses the same tactics he always has (spinning up shell organizations to throw out every possible variation of the quack science then abandoning the ones that the algorithm doesn't help take root) and isn't even slightly subtle about it. The fact that he and his various shell organizations aren't "permaban on sight" is a damning indictment of social media.

Senor Tron posted:Have a family member who has gone deep into Bitcoin the last few months, is it a common thing now that they are trying to portray the amount of energy used as actually being a good thing and a feature? First your family member is already wrong because the ATH of bitcoin was $67K. Also how incredibly annoying for him to put that in there. And none of the major cryptocurrencies use proof of stake, so he is also misinformed on that part. But yes, lots of people are trying to refer to it as "energy storage" even though that makes absolutely no sense. Bitcoin has no way to either store energy or reproduce the output of stored energy at a later time. We should not tie the harm of bitcoin to just its energy consumption. The energy consumption is bad, yes, but that is not the sole reason that Bitcoin is dumb. This whole energy storage narrative is the result of bitcoin enthusiasts trying to worm their way around the issue that Bitcoin mining and verification consumes a large amount of energy that in the end is extremely wasteful (since even a large portion of the work in Bitcoin is thrown away once the next Bitcoin has been mined since everyone else basically has to start over with the new Bitcoin as the source of its hashing.)

99.99999 percent of the energy used for Bitcoin mining is converted into pure heat. (It might as well be 100% but I think a tiny fraction is output as reduced entropy) This energy is not stored in the coins, it is just wasted.
