They have no intrinsic value and are purchased as either a novelty, a status symbol, or as a speculative commodity.
If someone wants an NFT for novelty he'll pay as much as you'd expect for a mediocre picture.
Anyone who would purchase an expensive NFT as a status symbol already has one and they're going (more like have gone) out of fashion.

moron. Of course they cant resell it, but they made remaining arts by that arts skyrocket in price. Hmmmmmm I wonder what does to their prior investments in that artists work?
So? There are millions of scams out there. Look at mobile game gacha, Sony retiring digital games that were bought on console, streamers shilling products/services that they know are crap, youtube ads for free vbucks, etc
NFTs are bad, but it is low hanging fruit that trannies and redditors autistically obsess over.
because they are targeting the richest 0.0001% (income over 1,000,000 USD/day) the richest peoplr can spend money in this gargabe. The average joe is too fricked for care about all those obvious scams
Not to mention you legally cannot own a URL so you're technically buying nothing when you buy a NFT, and the creator legally has 0 obligation to secondary purchasers. Basically NFTs are straight up a joke.
They don’t even own the jpeg, just what is essentially a hyperlink to a spot on the server where the image is kept. The owner of the server could change the image to meatspin and nothing has functionally changed about the nft.
Yes! It's a smart contract! Which is to say, a "program" an NFT can be so many things! A fun thing an NFT can be is a random image that suddenly shows up in your collection, that, when you click it, empties everything you own in that collection to a third parties collection and there's nothing you can do about that if it happens. So cool!
NFT's are bad but you are a fricking moron by trying to peddle the intrinsic value angle. Paper money you use and its conversion into digital currency also has no intrinsic value, the fricking numbers in your bank account have no intrinsic value and could turn to zeroes should the world economy or your country (The example of Russia after its invasion of Ukraine works really well to prove that but idiots like you have no critical thinking) and its banks take a shit. Nothing has any intrinsic value besides basic sustenance.

Any publicity is good publicity. Nobody would have heard of this scam if not for these Ganker threads, but if they can make this into a recurring thread that stays bumped from people making fun of it, there's bound to eventually be someone who reads about it, thinks they've found the next big thing, and buys into it, letting the devs run off with their money.

The idea is that a company can't arbitrary edit the database to say you're no longer the owner. Of course, the Ethereum network is slow as frick, and transaction fees are very high, but at least you can somewhat "prove" you own that stupid fricking ape you bought for thousands of dollars.
>NFTs are decentralized so in theory you can freely transfer them around between users and even potentially between games
Why do you need NFTs for that.
You don't need it, it's just a relatively simple method. In theory you Riot make some skin for Valorant and then do a deal with Ubisoft to link player accounts and let people with the skin get something similar for R6 Siege
Alternatively they could release the skin as an NFT and Ubisoft could allow the NFT to function as a skin in their game as well. 2 methods of doing the same thing. Only difference is that with the NFT you would retain a proof of ownership in the blockchain
>Only difference is that with the NFT
Would be that it's slow, expensive and requires you to trade your real life money for some fricking crypto, to the direct profit of people currently holding crypto who want real money instead.
Why would it profit these game developers and publishers to add support for things like that when they would rather you buy their own MTX instead of importing another company's?

>The idea is that a company can't arbitrary edit the database to say you're no longer the owner.
That makes no sense as they could simply not recognise the item. A blockchain ledger saying you own The Sword of Aeons is irrelevant if no game lets you use it.
Yeah, that's where the idea falls apart for games. Maybe their idea is putting the game itself on the blockchain or something, so it can't be edited, but running a game on the blockchain will be so fricking slow that it just wouldn't work.
>buy NFT of a rare powerful sword for Lamar's Dungeon, the latest RPG >go to use it >"sorry user, but you've been flagged for wrongthink, so we will not recognize your item as legit" >item gets flagged >can't even sell it to anyone else, since they don't want to be banned for associating with wrongthink
NFTs are images that are logged in blockchain. You don't own said image or rights to it. But you can say you are marked as owner of the NFT in blockchain.
You try to convince to others it is worth a lot so you can make profit.
The whole market depends on scamming others.
Buy it for $10, sell for $20.
It has no value, purpose or any use. No, transferring NFTs between vidya isn't possible either due to needing constant connection to blockchain and because games run on different code. So your monkey NFT won't magically appear between Skyrim, TF2, God of War, SSBU, and Halo Infinite. Those devs would have to manually code said monki face NFT to their games and keep constant 24/7 connection to blockchain to make sure you own the NFT in the game.
Could someone just hack the code and use the NFT files? Can you save pic I posted?
Remember that the people who buy NFTs doesn't own rights to the pics themselves.
the blockchain isn't useless, it does have useful applications, just not some worldwide internet encompassing blockchain, it's solid technology that's being used to scam idiots, which is a shame
>it does have useful applications
Like? I remember the proposal of putting medical records there which fricking cracked me up. Stuff has been hacked a frickton as well so I don't trust it.
Also cool that someone can stalk any person's personal information through it if it stores any medical or monetary info of a person.
the concept of a blockchain was first proposed in the 80s I think it was? originally the idea was to have small independent blockchains within large corporation structures, just a different way of organizing and verifying large amounts of date
the first real application of it was crypto, and it's been used to scam idiots ever since
the concept of a blockchain is fine, it's just the application that's being misused because it's something "new and complex" that can easily confuse people

Musk is an over-glorified ideas guy but at least some of his ideas make sense. This shit doesn't. Gamers don't want a console specifically for NFT games. Hell, every attempt at putting NFTs into games has been met with hostility and has led to one of the rare few times where gamers both complained about something AND didn't buy that thing.

>The year is 2030. You can't play any new game because as soon as the servers open, the whales just steamroll everything and destroy the economy
Nice idea
I think it's possible
No way, I don't see different companies playing nice with each other in this way, and it only takes one dev to do something moronic to bring the whole thing down. Imagine The Elder Chains online economy crushing in minutes because Crypto Crush Saga decided to suddenly give out a lot more obsidian ore to attract more player.
Even ignoring the fact that it sounds like something that only benefits the devs, it would be a fricking logistical nightmare to even manage on the most basic level. Imagine Bethesda trying to balance a game depending on what Ubisoft is doing, for example.
The writer of SAO has some good ideas actually. One of his other works featured using camera footage to create a 3D environment which is something that games are starting to do now with pokemon go and flight simulator. Probably others as well.
Full dive VR feeling like the real thing would make it a bit more believable to act like that. Being digital objects you can physically touch. But that guy sounds like a shitty TV writer or those cringe conversations in demonstrations of team based online games.
I really love this image

Wageslaves and paypigs, neither of which are playing a game they enjoy
Where's the value though? Just because it's "exclusive" doesn't mean it has inherent value. The shit I took an hour ago is exclusive because there will never be any other shit like it. Does that mean it's worth money?
There's a limited amount of my personal Poop. It's an exclusive poop limited and minted by my butthole. Each one is unique and can not be replicated.
Money please!
The value added is falsified and created to artificially push NFTs to have exclusivity.
That's how paper money got it's value so many years ago.
You can even add value to your shit. Just market it right.
Pet rocks.
If developers want to add exclusiveity to armor sets by telling everyone that you are the only one with the ORIGINAL armor set they can do that.
And I believe that will happen.
Just look at the CSGO or TF2 market and tell me you don't see it. Gamers autistically defending their skins they got, their hats.

What makes or breaks a currency is if people want it. See:

Money please!
There is a limited number of poop coming from my butthole, but people are not gonna use it as a currency because it is not desirable, merely for it's uniqueness.
Same with Crypto. There could be a total of only 5 bitcoin in the world, making them extremely rare and unique, but if nobody wants them, then their value is 0. And right now Cryptos biggest value is crypto bros trading it back and forth in a speculative manner.
Hell, specially NFT space is FULL of people buying their own NFTs from secondary wallets to make it look like it's worth something. It's a fricking jokee.

I thought he was fully mocking the concept of Blockchain gaming. Fricking hell, I thought this was an anti-blockchain dude describing a video game dystopia and then I get to the end AND THAT'S THE FUTURE HE LIKES?!?!?! FRICKING WHAT???
this homosexual has never played an rpg in his life to say this shit lmao
5% (1 in 20) is really not a small chance. If that was an actual, populated MMO, players would collect all 4 within like 5 minutes.
lol the only chance that there's '4 in existence' of a 5% drop rate item is if nobody was playing it, just like a real life nft game
I'm gonna guess, since it's an NFT game the reason there are only 4 in existence despite a 1 in 20 dropchance, is that like everything in an NFT game, it's gonna cost SILLY amounts of money to even attempt the raid.
I think there was a Josh Strife Hayes video that I can't find right now where he talks about a popular "play to earn" MMO, where as a free player all you can do is collect poop. And basically even having a class in that game costs you money, everything you want to do requires an investment. In order to play the game, you need to pay the game. And then you have a CHANCE that it will pay off.
You need a shitton of money to allow your guild into this fictional raid, and MAYBE you get the orb. But maybe you all get fricked.
This is the future crypto bros want.
>5% drop rate >"""low"""
Jeez even if I believed in the product I wouldn't invest in anything this moron was peddling if he's that far behind the 8ball. Imagine thinking 5% is low in a grinding game lmfao
>release a game for resource gathering >release a game for crafting >release a game for exploration >release a game for trading >release a game for pvp >release a game for dungeons >you now have to buy 6 games to get the full game
This system has the potential to be absolutely fricked. Why should I play a shitty mobile match 3 to get a weapon in an MMO?
The idea that's being pushed is that you skip the effort in a game you only kind of like and instead invest it in a different game you do like for unified progress. They present this as being able to enable player choice, create inter-game community, and possibly profit if you play smart. Anyone with a brain notices that it's a logistics nightmare that fricks all non-whales and basically encourages you to play a variety of shitty games constantly or grind forever in one shitty game.
their only objective is to make money even if it sounds moronic
I understood this when I read that Nintendo shareholder meeting and one of the investors said this
>"I do not understand video games and I even feel angry because, at Nintendo's shareholders' meetings, the shareholders always discuss things relating to video games or such childish topics as "what the future of video games should be," while I, for one, was flabbergasted that Mr. Iwata continues to hold his position although he had said that he would resign if the company's performance were bad".
>"I hope that Nintendo's shareholders' meeting will become an opportunity where the shareholders discuss the company's business operations from the viewpoints of capital gain and dividends", the investor added. But don't worry, Nintendo executives were quick to fire back, with Genyo Takeda and Tatsumi Kimishima replying.
NFTs are a pyramid scheme (literally, not hyperbole here), hence people who lose their money into it have to develop a cult like insistence on it to make sure THEY aren't the ones that get screwed over.
Its a desperate game of hot potato once you get suckered into buying it to make sure you aren't the one left holding the bag in the end when it falls.
It's not a pyramid scheme, just a greater fool economy. You don't need to recruit multiple people, and you don't pass money to someone higher up the chain. You just need one bigger idiot than you.
I was googleing "are NFTs are pyramid scheme", and found this amazing graphic, which essentially says: "No no, they're not a pyramid scheme, you just have to buy them from a provider, and then sell them on to someone else, while the provider gets a cut!"
Soooo.. A Pyramid scheme?
I think because you were thinking of how individuals usually buy singular NFTs and have to sell them one you were not thinking of it as a pyramid scheme, but I think it is very much a pyramid scheme.
Not to mention that everyone invested into NFTs, also needs to build HYPE and avoid FUD in order for their NFTs to stay valuable, which makes it even more pyramid-y
It is technically worse than a pyramid scheme, because in a Pyramid scheme if you are on the second layer you can maybe actually make some money off the idiots below you.
In an NFT, once you sold off your goods that you got from the head of the pyramid, you don't get any kickback from them selling it to the next sucker. That all goes to the head of the pyramid.
So it's an improved Pyramid scheme that's even more predatory. Capitalism breeds innovation.

Like it said in the image. The crator usually gets "royalties" with every sale hardcoded into the NFT.
It's one of the dumb reasons NFT folk "justify" NFTs, they say it's a legitimate form of digital art sales, enabling a secondary market of which the original artist can still profit!
Only that NFTs are of course basically never about the art. The most popular NFTs have fricking horrendous art, and it's all about the "prestige" of owning one in the community.
And the few NFTs that do have good art are often just stolen artworks from other people.
So yeah, considering all these things and the shit I said in that post, I'd say NFTs are just a pyramid scheme.
Threadly reminder that the techbro douchebags pushing this shit don't actually play video games, and most likely have never touched one in their life. They just look at the industry revenue numbers and smell money like the israelites that they are and think "they're manchildren playing video games surely they're moronic idiots that are easily scammed" and then they do shit like this. They don't actually have any clue about the industry they're "working" in and have no idea how to market anything. That's why they use these buzzwords like web3 and blockchain without understanding how any of that would actually integrate with vidya.
don't you know? choosing between the ps store or the ps store or the ps store in a playstation is a real hassle, making you turn your real worth something hard earned cash into fake coins, managing 30 different wallets from 50 different wallet sites with 1000 different fake coins is what people really want

Let's say this thing releases and the blockchain version of WoW runs on it. Will it create new blocks/mint new NFTs every time I loot gold or an item in-game?
What would the carbon footprint of such a game be? It all sounds a bit inefficient. A centralized database would use a lot less power, wouldn't it?
The thing I find amusing about NFTs is that they use a centralized marketplace to manage the sales and each NFT uses a centralized server to store the data.

>Yes we will support right to repair. We plan to have Authorized Repair Providers
The sheer audacity. The whole point of right to repair is that you aren't forced to use an authorized repair provider for repairs.
>Decentralized.
Except when it's not, you can bet your ass that if gaming companies create any blockchain based items or skins, their smart contract will make it so that you can only interact with and trade them within their own, controlled eco-system.
So if you have a bunch of web3 Fortnite skins, and you get banned from Fortnite, you still can't trade your fortnite skins.
Btw that's all this saying: "Imagine you can say Black person on fortnite, secure in the knowledge that you can still trade the items you own in-game can be transfered to a new account are not lost". Great, exactly what we needed. Enabling more ban evasion in video games.

NFTs do bring scarcity to digital goods, but that scarcity is limited to the blockchain-based token itself. >It also seems reasonable to think if you buy a Bored Ape NFT, that ape is yours.

I’m glad you agree with me that you’re a moron, owning an NFT doesn’t mean that you own the image attached, and that your dad gets fricked by black dudes on the reg.
Glad to see this is still an ongoing topic. Is the anon who made it into the discord here? Has there been any news, any developments or new blood introduced in the last few days?
We can't let this thing fizzle out, this could be the most entertaining thing of the year for us
Good to see you're still around, amigo. What can you realistically bring to the team? Theyre almost certainly not gonna really do anything, but you have to at least make it seem like you can help. What have they asked you to do if you end up on the team, or are they just asking you to be a supporter/recruiter/investor?
And how the FRICK are they working on VR when they dont even have a prototype, games, etc? What the frick are these people smoking? Talk about putting the cart before the horse, holy shit
Basically I haven't officially joined just yet
But the head of community dev messaged me a friend request
What I've been doing is pretending to be a well known member of the gaming community
I've stated I've worked for >Ganker >Amico Intellivision >Colecovision >Q and A
And the guy in charge of testing was super excited to talk to me
So far I haven't gotten in too far but I'm building up myself to be someone.whose needed
And dude you don't know have the battle
They have a Q and A chat and it's all arguing with the devs
They think I'm a head mod

holy fricking shit, i'm dying here. these people are GENUINELY moronic. god bless you anon, keep it up as long as you can and update us when possible - we all need the laughs in these trying, gameless times
Whats the best way to make this the most spectacular failure possible? How do we fan the flames without making it too obvious? They already stop accepting people into the dicksword, according to the anon who got in. Just keep making threads and hope it catches on? Talk about it elsewhere?
Or do we just wait and see how bad this gets?
>Whats the best way to make this the most spectacular failure possible? How do we fan the flames without making it too obvious?
"We" do nothing. It will fail by itself, stealth viral marketer.
Oh please, you really think im fricking stupid enough to be personally involved in this? I just dont want this to die before i get some more lulz out of it. The whole "8k 120fps" thing is amazing, i need more crypto babble nonsense to sustain me through this fricking gaming drought of a summer. Theres no way this isnt gonna fail, but i think we can make it fail harder, and cost more people money in the process
I'm honestly still a little stunned at how close NFTs got to being accepted by normies. Seems like a lot of bored wealthy people got together and tried to force this absolute worthless shit just to see if enough morons would bite. The only real way to make money in this country anymore is through entertainment or grifting, so I guess they're really scraping the bottom of this barrel. Makes me wonder how stupid things will get when infinite growth reaches its finite end.
anyone got the link to that website that has a rolling archive of news stories about NFT/crypto scams? I saw it once, it had stories like "developer spends 100k on strippers that was supposed to go to the project" and shit like that
wow, theyre already on top of this story. >Vaporware is hardly a new phenomenon in the web3 space, but the Polium project is bringing it to new heights. They announced their product—a "multi-chain console for Web 3 Gaming"—with no extant console, no design for one, and no games for it. >The website advertises specifications for an eventual console that contradict—it will be both 4K and 8K, for example—and promises to integrate Apple's TouchID (despite the fact that Apple does not allow non-Apple products to use that technology). The product's Medium page describes their plans to take pre-orders before the console hardware is built (good sign), and estimates a release date of Q3 2024. >Polium has also gotten flak for its logo, which quite resembles the GameCube logo. Although they claimed in a tweet that "we did not copy the Nintendo's GameCube logo", they also promised to "illustrate a new logo that is original"—apparently acknowledging that theirs is not.
It's amusing how many people just fricking hate crypto >Investors hate it because it's volatile >Environmentalists hate it because it uses a ridiculous amount of energy >Gamers hate it because it's another shitty attempt at nickel and diming them >PC gamers specifically hate it because these morons would buy all the new graphics cards so they could mine funny money >Artists hate them because they steal art and turn them into NFTs >The families of crypto fricks hate them because they see their loved ones lose their savings on what's effectively gambling
So it sounds like they have no idea what they're doing or how they're going to do anything. It's a collection of ideas guys who want to dip their toes into a niche that's crashing down already. These buttholes look like they're even less knowledgable than the guys who wanted to make a crypto themed resort island.
Yes I have the NFTs still. Only an idiot would cash out for FIAT money right now. I'm holding onto them until I get a 1000% return on my investment (I started with only 3000 bucks to buy my first NFT)
>What's the joke?

>Tom was actively following two major Telegram accounts, known as Whiplash347 and PatriotQakes, which were promoting dozens of tokens linked to the Stellar blockchain, the world’s third most popular crypto network behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. >But what Tom didn’t know was that these influencers weren’t simply providing neutral investment advice, as they claimed. They were linked to the tokens themselves, raking in millions of dollars from investors like Tom. >In the end, Tom invested over $100,000 in these scams, ruining his business in the process. >He also became increasingly extreme in his beliefs, going beyond QAnon conspiracy theories to espouse flat earth conspiracy theories, and speaking about the David Icke-inspired conspiracy theory that the earth is secretly run by a race of lizard people. >Things came to a head for Tom in March of this year, when, according to his brother, one evening he climbed on top of his house, yelling and screaming, telling his neighbors he was going to kill them. The next night, he poured gas on his truck in front of his house and set it on fire. >When the police arrived, Tom told an officer that the officer’s house would be next. Tom was quickly arrested. >But while his family scrambled to get him some help, he was released from prison without any warning–on the condition that any guns he owned were taken away from him. That never happened, and he later died by suicide.
thats almost sad, but these kinds of people have been falling victim to cults and things like that forever. if it wasnt crypto, something else would've stolen his heart and cost him everything - you just can't save people like this
Yea, weak minded people with nothing to lose often get swept up by the first charismatic group of people they come across who offer them the comfort and acceptance they crave. Crypto is no different - promises of wealth, being part of the "in-crowd" that knows better than all the dumb have nots, etc.
But the fact that this guy became a flat earther shouting from his rooftop shows that he was never all that mentally together to begin with
I'm saying it's less that "you can't save people like this" and more that the people who would "save" this kind of person are usually the ones who put them there in the first place.
Bloody b***h there is slander being spread about Polium. I am a developer on the console. I am working on the protype as you speak, okay? I know these things.
The Polium One will have 8k and VR support. You want Fortnite VR? Okay we are going to have that. The processing on it will be more powerful than all other consoles combined. You are going to have many many teraflops. Every unit will be shipped with blockchain technology, that you can use to make blockchain transaction or mine and we are so able to make $500 a day mining bitcoins.
Watch for updates. We will start opening up pre orders soon and you will be able to redeem a Polium One with google play cards.
Wait we're only on web 3? It's been like 30 years. Web 1 was only in universities and labs. We must be on like web 10 now. What a stupid fricking distinction.
The funny thing is that even normies think that NFTs are moronic and no amount of celebrities or influencers shilling them have improved their image. Maybe making the face of the whole idea these ugly ass monkey pictures was actually a bad idea.
because anything NFT is moronic, next question
How do you make an NFT VR system
by making it a moron simulator where you see everything through the eyes of an absolute pinhead mongoloid

Crypto is stupid because it still replies on fiat cash
I can't just go to the store and use it
>>NFT BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes.
They have no intrinsic value and are purchased as either a novelty, a status symbol, or as a speculative commodity.
If someone wants an NFT for novelty he'll pay as much as you'd expect for a mediocre picture.
Anyone who would purchase an expensive NFT as a status symbol already has one and they're going (more like have gone) out of fashion.
All that's left is scammers who will try to offload their collection onto morons into buying it on the basis "it'll surely increase in value" (it won't)
>They have no intrinsic value and are purchased as either a novelty, a status symbol, or as a speculative commodity.
reminds me of philip defranco once said about them, give it time nfts will become more than that, it later turned out he had stakes with some crypto investments so he wouldn't want to say anything bad about them
>They have no intrinsic value and are purchased as either a novelty, a status symbol, or as a speculative commodity.
Like all art then
I mean sex bots are art and have value
>Like all art then
They are shit art. It is like if someone convinced people they should pay large amounts of money for .jps of Pepe and Wojak. Real art is generally purchased because it stimulates some higher feeling in you.
>Real art is generally purchased because it stimulates some higher feeling in you.
lol
lmao
Real art is generally purchased as an investment asset and bunged away in storage
LOL, you're defining "real art" as "expensive art" Putting that aside, people clearly do buy art for their satisfaction:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stolen_paintings
Famous stolen goods can't be easily resold, so whoever has purchased one of the above did so because they wanted it for it's own sake.
Art
moron. Of course they cant resell it, but they made remaining arts by that arts skyrocket in price. Hmmmmmm I wonder what does to their prior investments in that artists work?
So? There are millions of scams out there. Look at mobile game gacha, Sony retiring digital games that were bought on console, streamers shilling products/services that they know are crap, youtube ads for free vbucks, etc
NFTs are bad, but it is low hanging fruit that trannies and redditors autistically obsess over.
I thought it was just a meme that everyoneaughed at
>So? There are millions of scams out there.

A non-fungible token is more than a jpg, you fricking moron.
Technically its less than a jpg, its typically just a URL to a jpg and a little metadata.
Not to mention you legally cannot own a URL so you're technically buying nothing when you buy a NFT, and the creator legally has 0 obligation to secondary purchasers. Basically NFTs are straight up a joke.
>A non-fungible token is more than a jpg,
Yeah, it means a blockchain ledger says you're the owner of the shitty jpg, whoop-de-do. Your comment didn't disprove any of the 3 statements I made.
What's the point of an NFT for copyright
Why not
Just have the copyright of the material in paper?
They don’t even own the jpeg, just what is essentially a hyperlink to a spot on the server where the image is kept. The owner of the server could change the image to meatspin and nothing has functionally changed about the nft.
it's even worse than a jpg, it's just an URL to a jpg, if the url goes inactive you have nothing
Yes! It's a smart contract! Which is to say, a "program" an NFT can be so many things! A fun thing an NFT can be is a random image that suddenly shows up in your collection, that, when you click it, empties everything you own in that collection to a third parties collection and there's nothing you can do about that if it happens. So cool!
Not exactly, NFTs are created through smart contracts but aren't smart contracts themselves.
Technically it's less. It doesn't even contain the jpg
NFT's are bad but you are a fricking moron by trying to peddle the intrinsic value angle. Paper money you use and its conversion into digital currency also has no intrinsic value, the fricking numbers in your bank account have no intrinsic value and could turn to zeroes should the world economy or your country (The example of Russia after its invasion of Ukraine works really well to prove that but idiots like you have no critical thinking) and its banks take a shit. Nothing has any intrinsic value besides basic sustenance.
>They have no intrinsic value and are purchased as either a novelty, a status symbol, or as a speculative commodity
the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City have a painting of a fricking BLACK SQUARE that cost millions. No wonder why all those Apes NFTs are bad designed by elementary school's kids

Hi everyone, this is a marketing thread made by the Polium team in hopes of making their name well known.
Why would anyone use Ganker to advertise
yeah that's fricking stupid
excuse me while i go grab a nice monster energy™ ultra zero™
Because there are plenty of irresponsible people with loads of crypto to waste that use this website, and Ganker is one of the highest traffic boards. There's guaranteed to be a decent chunk of the Ganker userbase that also uses Ganker, and regardless, Ganker is a still well-known website where plenty of internet trends and memes originate.
>but it's making fun of them!
Any publicity is good publicity. Nobody would have heard of this scam if not for these Ganker threads, but if they can make this into a recurring thread that stays bumped from people making fun of it, there's bound to eventually be someone who reads about it, thinks they've found the next big thing, and buys into it, letting the devs run off with their money. If not on Ganker, someone here will inadvertently get it displayed on some willing sucker's Twitter feed.
I'm done replying because I don't want to increase the post count in this marketing thread anymore.
Do you think if that one Anon didn't make that thread a few days ago no one would
Hear about this? Cause that's just fricking wrong
>NO FUN ALLOWED: THE POST

That's true it would be frick
Reminds me of picrel.
>wallet button
This is satire right
No
I asked the devs and they said everyone hating on it was gay
What the frick
What does this mean?
I don't know but I just joined the dev team to troll them
Apparently they think I worked on the Amico and Colecovision
Doing God's work. Keep us posted
So I have a question
What should I do?
I mean
My goal was to get them on Ganker to do a distasteeious ama but now idk anymore
I think they are already so stupid that the best you can do is observe and report. They troll themselves hard enough
Okay
So my reports so far is the team has grown to 5 people
They're not American
They're making an App and a VR headset

Drafted for the console wars.
OUYA failed because it actually tried to be a console, and was bad at it. This shit isn't trying to be an actual competitor in the console market, they're literally just trying to run away with whatever startup money they can get. Completely different failure states.
Unironically this
People are fricking moronic. You talk about ANYTHING and it gets attention. With enough morons blabbering about something, you can churn a profit somehow. Doesn't matter if it's good or bad, publicity is publicity.
The Ouya failed hard. It was also a meme. From the first day.
Yeah fricking hell do they think the ouya worked
Honestly I think those are newbies
Has to be
The ouya was marketed outside of V
We had no fricking impact on it's failure
But it did work it was at (near by) E3!
STOP FRICKING LAUGHING THIS IS A SERIOUS FRICKING ISSUE. DO YOU THINK IT'S A FRICKING JOKE THAT REAL LIFE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOSE REAL FRICKING MONEY OVER THIS. HAVE SOME EMPATHY PEOPLE!!!

Seriously i hope this laucnehss and everyone loses their fricking money
Not my money, not my problem.
Yeah who cares? Let's have fun
"People" that fall for dumb shit like this shouldn't be considered human.
Remember like two weeks ago when normies memed about Morbius, then Sony put it BACK in theaters, only to make like 20k or some ridiculously small amount? Memes dont translate into actual sales if the product is absolute shit.
Anyone who gets rugpulled by an NFT project at this point was just going to losr their money to some form of scam anyway.
Who cares if morons lose money?

I don't understand what an nft console even means
Neither do the creators apparently
I don’t know OP
I’m convinced you could sell nfts to certain fanbases like Rockstar’s fanbase of mouth breathers
because nfts whole creation was to scam brain dead morons with money to burn, It worked for a whole year
It's a scam moron
What is an nft console?
What is an nft game??
What is an nft???
If I buy a skin in a game, a record of my purchase is stored in a database, and now I "own" the skin. How is nft any fricking different?
Is this like when millennials tried to rebrand the internet as "the cloud"?
Yeah pretty much
The idea is that a company can't arbitrary edit the database to say you're no longer the owner. Of course, the Ethereum network is slow as frick, and transaction fees are very high, but at least you can somewhat "prove" you own that stupid fricking ape you bought for thousands of dollars.
NFTs are decentralized so in theory you can freely transfer them around between users and even potentially between games
In practice, who knows
>NFTs are decentralized so in theory you can freely transfer them around between users and even potentially between games
Why do you need NFTs for that.
You don't need it, it's just a relatively simple method. In theory you Riot make some skin for Valorant and then do a deal with Ubisoft to link player accounts and let people with the skin get something similar for R6 Siege
Alternatively they could release the skin as an NFT and Ubisoft could allow the NFT to function as a skin in their game as well. 2 methods of doing the same thing. Only difference is that with the NFT you would retain a proof of ownership in the blockchain
>Only difference is that with the NFT
Would be that it's slow, expensive and requires you to trade your real life money for some fricking crypto, to the direct profit of people currently holding crypto who want real money instead.
Why would it profit these game developers and publishers to add support for things like that when they would rather you buy their own MTX instead of importing another company's?
It wouldn't, that's why I'm saying "in theory" rather than "the inevitable state of the industry will be"
Yeah in theory it could work
And absolutely no dev would ever do that, not even for their own games.
>The idea is that a company can't arbitrary edit the database to say you're no longer the owner.
That makes no sense as they could simply not recognise the item. A blockchain ledger saying you own The Sword of Aeons is irrelevant if no game lets you use it.
Yeah, that's where the idea falls apart for games. Maybe their idea is putting the game itself on the blockchain or something, so it can't be edited, but running a game on the blockchain will be so fricking slow that it just wouldn't work.
Most crypto people aren't very smart.
Can confirm the discord is bad
>buy NFT of a rare powerful sword for Lamar's Dungeon, the latest RPG
>go to use it
>"sorry user, but you've been flagged for wrongthink, so we will not recognize your item as legit"
>item gets flagged
>can't even sell it to anyone else, since they don't want to be banned for associating with wrongthink
>millennials tried to rebrand the internet as "the cloud"?
we did that?
NFTs are images that are logged in blockchain. You don't own said image or rights to it. But you can say you are marked as owner of the NFT in blockchain.
You try to convince to others it is worth a lot so you can make profit.
The whole market depends on scamming others.
Buy it for $10, sell for $20.
It has no value, purpose or any use. No, transferring NFTs between vidya isn't possible either due to needing constant connection to blockchain and because games run on different code. So your monkey NFT won't magically appear between Skyrim, TF2, God of War, SSBU, and Halo Infinite. Those devs would have to manually code said monki face NFT to their games and keep constant 24/7 connection to blockchain to make sure you own the NFT in the game.
Could someone just hack the code and use the NFT files? Can you save pic I posted?
Remember that the people who buy NFTs doesn't own rights to the pics themselves.
TL;DR NFTs are scams, and blockchain is useless
the blockchain isn't useless, it does have useful applications, just not some worldwide internet encompassing blockchain, it's solid technology that's being used to scam idiots, which is a shame
>it does have useful applications
Like? I remember the proposal of putting medical records there which fricking cracked me up. Stuff has been hacked a frickton as well so I don't trust it.
Also cool that someone can stalk any person's personal information through it if it stores any medical or monetary info of a person.
the concept of a blockchain was first proposed in the 80s I think it was? originally the idea was to have small independent blockchains within large corporation structures, just a different way of organizing and verifying large amounts of date
the first real application of it was crypto, and it's been used to scam idiots ever since
the concept of a blockchain is fine, it's just the application that's being misused because it's something "new and complex" that can easily confuse people
This guy understands : the decentralized concept of blockchain isn't to blame, all the scamming in crypto and nft is.

>Elon Musk of gaming
Musk is an over-glorified ideas guy but at least some of his ideas make sense. This shit doesn't. Gamers don't want a console specifically for NFT games. Hell, every attempt at putting NFTs into games has been met with hostility and has led to one of the rare few times where gamers both complained about something AND didn't buy that thing.

bruh. that homosexual clearly doesnt play vidya.
he left out that in order to actually fight that boss, you need to farm for 500+ hours in Crytoville to minut a one-time-use ticket NFT that spawns the boss. These tickets alternatively sell for $10,000
i mean, at the rate russian sanctions and dollar printing backlash are going 10k might soon equal 1k in 2021 dollarydoos.
cryptobros confirmed for future seeing capabilities.
He somehow forgot he wasn't pitching to investors halfway into his hypothetical.
Oh but he is. To the crypto bag holder, everyone is a potential investor, also sometimes called "victim", that the holder desperately wants to convince to invest, sometimes called "trick into falling for the scam and taking his bags"
You know what I meant.
He's clearly trying to entice with "WOW, I WANNA PLAY THAT," instead of "WOW, I COULD MAKE MONEY."
Frick cryptoshit, this guy should write dystopian novels, he'd make millions
Remove the "life is good" and the hashtag, format it in the form of a greentext story and this is the perfect doom scenario shitpost to make fun of cryptoshit.
I think it's possible
Elder Chains Online sounds like the most boring game imaginable. Two years to cap a job and over a hour to craft something?
>you could already do this if a group of devs wanted you to
>it would just be a conventional database they all share part of
>maybe some sort of federated system to make it easier to scale
Huh, blockchain doesn't bring anything new to games. Who would want to have to play a dozen games to be efficient at any of them?
>The year is 2030. You can't play any new game because as soon as the servers open, the whales just steamroll everything and destroy the economy
Nice idea
No way, I don't see different companies playing nice with each other in this way, and it only takes one dev to do something moronic to bring the whole thing down. Imagine The Elder Chains online economy crushing in minutes because Crypto Crush Saga decided to suddenly give out a lot more obsidian ore to attract more player.
Even ignoring the fact that it sounds like something that only benefits the devs, it would be a fricking logistical nightmare to even manage on the most basic level. Imagine Bethesda trying to balance a game depending on what Ubisoft is doing, for example.
this homosexual has never played an rpg in his life to say this shit lmao
5% (1 in 20) is really not a small chance. If that was an actual, populated MMO, players would collect all 4 within like 5 minutes.
lol the only chance that there's '4 in existence' of a 5% drop rate item is if nobody was playing it, just like a real life nft game
This is either the most delusional thing I have ever read or we are getting old.
>The blockchain magically makes items work between every game
fricking morons I swear
They are just con-men living on tecnicalities
It's not illegal if it fails: what matters is that they gave him his %
So it's true. Some people's nightmares are someone else's dreams.
this shit is simultaneously hilarious and depressing
Kinda like what the writer of SAO thought videogames were like.
I never watched sao
Isn't it just incest porn
The writer of SAO has some good ideas actually. One of his other works featured using camera footage to create a 3D environment which is something that games are starting to do now with pokemon go and flight simulator. Probably others as well.
Frick off, you are either a clueless shill, a real moron or underage.
>camera footage
Go back to facebook and don't come back
Full dive VR feeling like the real thing would make it a bit more believable to act like that. Being digital objects you can physically touch. But that guy sounds like a shitty TV writer or those cringe conversations in demonstrations of team based online games.
I really love this image
Nobody's gonna say 'hey to join our guild you need to play cyandy cyrush for 4000 hours to get these items' they're gonna say 'hey to join our guild you need to buy these orbs for $300 from poor people who spent 4000 hours farming them'. Wageslaves and paypigs, neither of which are playing a game they enjoy
WHY WOULD I NOT JUST PAY FOR THAT WITH A NORMAL DOLLAR?
Because your "normal dollar" isn't worth shit
And this "obsidian ore" mined playing "crypto crush saga" is?
He probably going to say if its desirable people will attest a value to it. But will deny that is how fiat currency works.
Yes.
It's behind a Blockchain. It's an exclusive nft limited and minted.
There's unlimited dollars.
There's limited NFTs.
NFTs are exclusive. That ore you mine will be exclusive.
>There's unlimited dollars.
>inflation yadda yadda
Money can always be created.
Not value
The value added is falsified and created to artificially push NFTs to have exclusivity.
That's how paper money got it's value so many years ago.
You can even add value to your shit. Just market it right.
Pet rocks.
If developers want to add exclusiveity to armor sets by telling everyone that you are the only one with the ORIGINAL armor set they can do that.
And I believe that will happen.
Just look at the CSGO or TF2 market and tell me you don't see it. Gamers autistically defending their skins they got, their hats.
Gaming is going to get even more cancerous my friends. 2030.
>just a Gankerirgin with a Ganker and /stock/ background

I would have said that double spacing every line proves that he's moronic.
People didn't already hate rockmakers over hardware shortages.
>That's how paper money got it's value so many years ago.
Paper money was backed by valuable metals
Holy shit I'm not even going to read the rest of your post, try finishing high school first
And crypto functions on the pipe dream that nobody can claim majority which is a complete joke.
Don't whales take up most of crypto
Not majority holders, majority miners. Changes to the chain are agreed upon by majority of miners. So all that needs to happen is for a few companies to collude and they'd have complete control over the blockchain.
And has no value
>you can have unlimited cash
>unlike this digital currency which can not be unlimited.
cool. Cool.
What makes or breaks a currency is if people want it. See:
There is a limited number of poop coming from my butthole, but people are not gonna use it as a currency because it is not desirable, merely for it's uniqueness.
Same with Crypto. There could be a total of only 5 bitcoin in the world, making them extremely rare and unique, but if nobody wants them, then their value is 0. And right now Cryptos biggest value is crypto bros trading it back and forth in a speculative manner.
Hell, specially NFT space is FULL of people buying their own NFTs from secondary wallets to make it look like it's worth something. It's a fricking jokee.
There's a limited amount of my personal Poop. It's an exclusive poop limited and minted by my butthole. Each one is unique and can not be replicated.
Money please!
One of the most based posts I've seen in some time. This should be non ironically taught in economic schools. Bravo
Where's the value though? Just because it's "exclusive" doesn't mean it has inherent value. The shit I took an hour ago is exclusive because there will never be any other shit like it. Does that mean it's worth money?
That's why inflation exists frick
>NFTs are limited
Oh you.
I never really understood this terryism, I think his idea on simplicity is excellent however.
It's fricking worth more than a shitcoin
moron all crypto is based on fiat money
I thought he was fully mocking the concept of Blockchain gaming. Fricking hell, I thought this was an anti-blockchain dude describing a video game dystopia and then I get to the end AND THAT'S THE FUTURE HE LIKES?!?!?! FRICKING WHAT???
I'm gonna guess, since it's an NFT game the reason there are only 4 in existence despite a 1 in 20 dropchance, is that like everything in an NFT game, it's gonna cost SILLY amounts of money to even attempt the raid.
I think there was a Josh Strife Hayes video that I can't find right now where he talks about a popular "play to earn" MMO, where as a free player all you can do is collect poop. And basically even having a class in that game costs you money, everything you want to do requires an investment. In order to play the game, you need to pay the game. And then you have a CHANCE that it will pay off.
You need a shitton of money to allow your guild into this fictional raid, and MAYBE you get the orb. But maybe you all get fricked.
This is the future crypto bros want.
>Elder Chains
Accurate title for a game that uses this
>5% drop rate

Jeez even if I believed in the product I wouldn't invest in anything this moron was peddling if he's that far behind the 8ball. Imagine thinking 5% is low in a grinding game lmfao
Life is already enough of a rat race and these fricking clowns want to make a hobby a job. Can't we just play games in peace?

This system has the potential to be absolutely fricked. Why should I play a shitty mobile match 3 to get a weapon in an MMO?
The idea that's being pushed is that you skip the effort in a game you only kind of like and instead invest it in a different game you do like for unified progress. They present this as being able to enable player choice, create inter-game community, and possibly profit if you play smart. Anyone with a brain notices that it's a logistics nightmare that fricks all non-whales and basically encourages you to play a variety of shitty games constantly or grind forever in one shitty game.
do people not realise this is a satirical piece or what
Ganker really has gotten dumber
that's literally a post from the creator of the console anon..

I understood this when I read that Nintendo shareholder meeting and one of the investors said this
>"I do not understand video games and I even feel angry because, at Nintendo's shareholders' meetings, the shareholders always discuss things relating to video games or such childish topics as "what the future of video games should be," while I, for one, was flabbergasted that Mr. Iwata continues to hold his position although he had said that he would resign if the company's performance were bad".
>"I hope that Nintendo's shareholders' meeting will become an opportunity where the shareholders discuss the company's business operations from the viewpoints of capital gain and dividends", the investor added. But don't worry, Nintendo executives were quick to fire back, with Genyo Takeda and Tatsumi Kimishima replying.
Investor class are soulless parasites who all need to be guillotined
agreed comrade
Unfortunately this is not satire. This is real. We live in a world now that is impossible to lampoon.

5% drop rate is not low for an mmo. If anything a 1/20 is a high drop rate.
How many people have gotten this shit?
According to the wiki the first person got one in 2020 four years after the update. But it's meant to be a mean drop anyway
I honestly thought this was memeing on crypto until the last paragraph
These israelites entering the industry is what killed gaming as a hobby
NFTs are a pyramid scheme (literally, not hyperbole here), hence people who lose their money into it have to develop a cult like insistence on it to make sure THEY aren't the ones that get screwed over.
Its a desperate game of hot potato once you get suckered into buying it to make sure you aren't the one left holding the bag in the end when it falls.
It's not a pyramid scheme, just a greater fool economy. You don't need to recruit multiple people, and you don't pass money to someone higher up the chain. You just need one bigger idiot than you.
I was googleing "are NFTs are pyramid scheme", and found this amazing graphic, which essentially says: "No no, they're not a pyramid scheme, you just have to buy them from a provider, and then sell them on to someone else, while the provider gets a cut!"
Soooo.. A Pyramid scheme?
I think because you were thinking of how individuals usually buy singular NFTs and have to sell them one you were not thinking of it as a pyramid scheme, but I think it is very much a pyramid scheme.
Not to mention that everyone invested into NFTs, also needs to build HYPE and avoid FUD in order for their NFTs to stay valuable, which makes it even more pyramid-y
It is technically worse than a pyramid scheme, because in a Pyramid scheme if you are on the second layer you can maybe actually make some money off the idiots below you.
In an NFT, once you sold off your goods that you got from the head of the pyramid, you don't get any kickback from them selling it to the next sucker. That all goes to the head of the pyramid.
So it's an improved Pyramid scheme that's even more predatory. Capitalism breeds innovation.
The "head" of the pyramid doesn't get a kickback for every time their NFT is sold, though.
The person who minted the NFT does
Do they? I thought they were just the first link in the chain.
Depends on what the smart contract that governs the sale of the NFT has programmed into it.
Like it said in the image. The crator usually gets "royalties" with every sale hardcoded into the NFT.
It's one of the dumb reasons NFT folk "justify" NFTs, they say it's a legitimate form of digital art sales, enabling a secondary market of which the original artist can still profit!
Only that NFTs are of course basically never about the art. The most popular NFTs have fricking horrendous art, and it's all about the "prestige" of owning one in the community.
And the few NFTs that do have good art are often just stolen artworks from other people.
So yeah, considering all these things and the shit I said in that post, I'd say NFTs are just a pyramid scheme.
>Creator receives royalty from subsequent sale
Threadly reminder that the techbro douchebags pushing this shit don't actually play video games, and most likely have never touched one in their life. They just look at the industry revenue numbers and smell money like the israelites that they are and think "they're manchildren playing video games surely they're moronic idiots that are easily scammed" and then they do shit like this. They don't actually have any clue about the industry they're "working" in and have no idea how to market anything. That's why they use these buzzwords like web3 and blockchain without understanding how any of that would actually integrate with vidya.
Somebody post the Ouya and Stadia post, please.
The what post
God forbid me for posting a twitter screencap.
I really hope this is an elaborate prank or scam.
How in the hell can they be serious with this?
I'm sorry
>no more multiple wallets or visiting multiple sites just to play a game
is that...a problem people are having?
only a hypothetical cryptotard (they don't play games) would have this problem, ie. having multiple shitcoins spread over different 'wallets'
don't you know? choosing between the ps store or the ps store or the ps store in a playstation is a real hassle, making you turn your real worth something hard earned cash into fake coins, managing 30 different wallets from 50 different wallet sites with 1000 different fake coins is what people really want
It's just literally this shit.
It's clear that they just want control everything because it's their platform.
It's like Apple introducing Apple Wallet, even though there's already shitloads of "wallet" services for different cards and whatnot.
>It's like Apple introducing Apple Wallet
except apple actually has a chance of success since their products are used by real people in the real world
The ape wallet had actual.use
Like.the apple creditcard
It's only because Apple has a extremely large customer base in the world, and it's also because it comes pre-packaged in Apple OSes so that you didn't NEED to install a wallet app in order to use it. And also that they've already done deals with plentiful of companies due to their power in the market.

what the frick is Web 3
what the frick is an NFT console
why the frick are people so fricking moronic
web3 is a theoretical concept for an entirely blockchain centric internet, the "next gen" of internet, if you will
it doesn't actually exist, and these morons making a console for it is fricking hilarious
so is "Web 3" basically just "things that already existed but now implemented with block chain"?
Yes
Yes
It's unironically "The internet: But now you have to pay for literally everything - Edition"
Let's say this thing releases and the blockchain version of WoW runs on it. Will it create new blocks/mint new NFTs every time I loot gold or an item in-game?
What would the carbon footprint of such a game be? It all sounds a bit inefficient. A centralized database would use a lot less power, wouldn't it?
They are not scam they have the WHITEPAPER, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WHITEPAPER MEANS??? IT MEANS THEY ARE NOT SCAMMING MONEY OKAY???
NEVER EVER
ITS NOT A CHINESE SCAM I SWEAR

The thing I find amusing about NFTs is that they use a centralized marketplace to manage the sales and each NFT uses a centralized server to store the data.
>we will try using arm and x64
how can normies not see the genious behind Polium
You're laughing? Polium is out here about to go compete vs Apple and you're laughing?
Imagine still b***hing about NFTs in current month
No one cares anymore
HDR + Nvidia on linux is basically impossible.
So is 8K on any card NVIDIA has released. Even a 3090 Ti can't manage 8K in anything modern. It might be able to do some raytracing but don't expect good results.

>Yes we will support right to repair. We plan to have Authorized Repair Providers
The sheer audacity. The whole point of right to repair is that you aren't forced to use an authorized repair provider for repairs.
>Decentralized.
Except when it's not, you can bet your ass that if gaming companies create any blockchain based items or skins, their smart contract will make it so that you can only interact with and trade them within their own, controlled eco-system.
So if you have a bunch of web3 Fortnite skins, and you get banned from Fortnite, you still can't trade your fortnite skins.
Btw that's all this saying: "Imagine you can say Black person on fortnite, secure in the knowledge that you can still trade the items you own in-game can be transfered to a new account are not lost". Great, exactly what we needed. Enabling more ban evasion in video games.
Web3/NFT shit isn't decentralized and it's much worse than what you think. This article really is worth the read.
https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html
There's also the fact that a lot of crypto projects that advertise themselves as "decentralized" and with the "users having voting power" have a curious case of the project starter having exactly 51% voting power, effectively giving a singular person complete and concentrated power over this "decentralized" system.
The voting shit is hilarious, like an exchange using voting tokens on steemit on behalf of users or pic related.
This is the "future of gaming"
Isn't the xavier dev board over 300 dollars ?
Okay so the actual console is going to be 500
Some of the dev kits cost well over 1000 dollars
because they're NFT gamers
This reminds me of the golden age of kickstarters
Does anyone remember that schzio that said he was going to make a fully holographic VR console for $500?
No what
Frick can’t find it anymore
It was called some like superstation 3000 and had mspaint images
You were supposed to download yourself into it and make virtual realty games (like actual virtual reality)

Ask me anything.
Will you invest in this
Depends on the returns. So far I'm interested. an NFT crypto console? New tech is always exciting.
I'm working with the dev team (as a troll tbh) but they seem to be obsessed with Web3
What is it
Fancy Buzzword these scammers like using
see
All I hear is web3
I'm too moronic to coordinate with other people

OP is clearly butthurt they are even talking about VR when he HATES VR with a burning passion cause he cant afford it without cucking to facebook

Ah. VR sucks because it's so expensive man
I got an offer to work at a NFT "play to earn" game. They're offering quite a lot of money for me to be a developer there. Is it worth it to sell my soul for that?
yes, you can probably slack off and they won't do shit because they themselves don't know what they're doing
Yeah seems like easy money honestly, and they're quite a big company, so I don't think they'll die soon.
I've been thinking about it, should I even update my Linkedin and CV if I end up working there?
If your name isn't attached. Do it
Whenever I read about any of this all it ever sounds like to me is turning every game into a GDKP in WoW
always funny to see normals who never invested into stocks or crypto or nfts acting like they know what the frick they're talking about.
Okay smartass
What's an NFT VR system gonna do

>nothing is free
I dont get why this board cares so much about nfts.
Ganker still hasn’t been able to let horse armour go, it’s a bit touchy over hyper-monetisation.
NFT is the future. You are the morons.
Instead of NFTs they need to have dicky, and replace the wallet button with an UUUUOOO button
I get that you're trying to be cute and funny.
But that's disgusting. You're a pedophile. And pedophiles should be hung by their nutsack on a tree branch.

Salesman talk. Every 3 years or so you need to invent a new meaningless buzzword to convince some boomer suit it's "trending tech" so they fund your startup. Now that you have some backing all you have to do is climb the ladder so you get more prominent logos under the "Associated with:" section on your website. After you have a successful brand and a product (theoretical) you can write a book to advice the next generation of scammers, extra cash if it makes it to the NYT bestsellers.
Real answer: scam artists conflated crypto with the continuation of Web 2.0, which was an overhaul of web standards.
Since I've become more empathic I feel sad that someone will fall for this scam. Just hope they don't get much from the victims.
No you don't.
No you own a receipt that says you purchased the right to own this receipt.
Wrong.
>An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a type of digital asset that lives on a blockchain. It has a monetary value and is useful to authenticate and track the provenance of another piece of digital media. That can be JPEGs but also music files, or really anything else that can be saved to a hard drive. But an NFT is not the underlying media itself.
> Spending any amount of money, be it $5 or $40 million, on anything auctioned or traded as an NFT does not give you legal ownership over the underlying media associated with that token. What you do own when you buy an NFT are the keys to a non-fungible – perhaps unique – token. That token is yours to trade or hold or display in Decentraland. But the digital file associated with an NFT is just as easy to copy and paste and download as any other
> Non-fungible tokens are often promoted as a way to bring “scarcity” and “permanence” to infinitely reproducible digital objects. In a way this view is correct. NFTs do bring scarcity to digital goods, but that scarcity is limited to the blockchain-based token itself.
>It also seems reasonable to think if you buy a Bored Ape NFT, that ape is yours. As mentioned, the underlying intellectual property belongs to the creators of the Bored Ape Yacht Club
https://www.coindesk.com/layer2/2022/01/17/what-you-own-when-you-own-an-nft/
Each nft has different rules.
Sure they do
glad you agree.
If you buy an nft. you own it.
Yeah you own the token, not the underlying media it points to.
you own the nft.
like I said. I'm right. I'm glad you agre.
Here you said that you own the image:
And you got BTFO here
and now you’re trying to save face because you’re moronic, but I wouldn’t expect less from an NFToddler.
I never said that.
What the frick are you talking about I said you own the NFT IMAGE. and you do.
>I never said what I just said several minutes ago
Sure bud, and NFTs and crypto aren’t scams either. Totally legit. To the moon!
Glad you understand.
And I'm glad you agree that I'm right.
If you buy the nft. you own it. you own the nft image you own it all.
I’m glad you agree with me that you’re a moron, owning an NFT doesn’t mean that you own the image attached, and that your dad gets fricked by black dudes on the reg.
Glad to see this is still an ongoing topic. Is the anon who made it into the discord here? Has there been any news, any developments or new blood introduced in the last few days?
We can't let this thing fizzle out, this could be the most entertaining thing of the year for us
I want to face frick akko
Calm down Diana, we're discussing the future of games and Web3 right now
Hi Anon in the discord here
Update
They're working on an app and a VR system
And the community manager and dev wants me on the team
Good to see you're still around, amigo. What can you realistically bring to the team? Theyre almost certainly not gonna really do anything, but you have to at least make it seem like you can help. What have they asked you to do if you end up on the team, or are they just asking you to be a supporter/recruiter/investor?
And how the FRICK are they working on VR when they dont even have a prototype, games, etc? What the frick are these people smoking? Talk about putting the cart before the horse, holy shit
Basically I haven't officially joined just yet
But the head of community dev messaged me a friend request
What I've been doing is pretending to be a well known member of the gaming community
I've stated I've worked for
>Ganker
>Amico Intellivision
>Colecovision
>Q and A
And the guy in charge of testing was super excited to talk to me
So far I haven't gotten in too far but I'm building up myself to be someone.whose needed
And dude you don't know have the battle
They have a Q and A chat and it's all arguing with the devs
>Ganker
Something about these guys make me think they think that's a game company. They do genuinely sound that naive.
They think I'm a head mod
Actually no one knew what Ganker was
You're doing great work, anon.
I wonder what I could convince them to do
Tell them about Facebook's Metaverse. They might be dumb enough to try and advertise their console will have their own version of that.
When I get on the team I'll start talking about it
Any other suggestions
Maybe suggest they mint their own NFTs in order to get people more interested in the console and effectively turn them into brand ambassadors.
You're fricking evil I love it
I'm going to bed so please leave as many suggestions as possible
I want to hurt these guys
Ask them if they have any big influencers in mind to help promote their console and casually suggest the Cryptoland guys as a possibility. Two big thinkers in the world of web3 and cryptocurrencies working together.
this is a great idea, and fully in line with the idea theyre trying to create. fricking brilliant - tell them to sell NFT's of the clown console-tan they have
the only way they can be completely ignorant of this places existence is if theyre foreigners who arent native english speakers, lending credence to the possibility that theyre chinese scammers. which would make this even better.
i would normally never suggest this, but maybe in the future use a name so we can spot you easier - Poli Dev or some shit, maybe make a trip. Or don't - i couldnt blame you for not wanting to be "one of those people"
They are third worlders
Basically you get banned asap if you mention china
And they admitted they're not Americans
So theyre either from china, or hate china, which really narrows it down. I think the best you can do now is play it cool and just try to seem helpful and learn as much about these people as you can, and see where it goes from there. This thing is still in its infancy, no need to rush
Yeah no rush
I'm avoiding using phrases to anger them
They ban.anyone.who says pump and dump so they know only about NFT terms
And I'll use poli dev from now on with these threads
> Actually no one knew what Ganker was
We haven’t exactly been an obscure site for like a decade. Do you get the feeling that they’re third worlders?
>I've stated I've worked for

holy fricking shit, i'm dying here. these people are GENUINELY moronic. god bless you anon, keep it up as long as you can and update us when possible - we all need the laughs in these trying, gameless times
I promise I will. I pray they let me on the team
I'm going to have a beautiful time doing this
I'm going to use this photo to show it's me working on the coleco
Do cryptocucks actually believe the things they say?
No. They are trying to scam you and take your money. They will lie through their fricking teeth forever to take your money.
R u sure?
Blah blah, NFTs are bad.
Since when is 5’9 “short”? Also, I’m uncut and that’s better. Deal with it.
Whats the best way to make this the most spectacular failure possible? How do we fan the flames without making it too obvious? They already stop accepting people into the dicksword, according to the anon who got in. Just keep making threads and hope it catches on? Talk about it elsewhere?
Or do we just wait and see how bad this gets?
>Whats the best way to make this the most spectacular failure possible? How do we fan the flames without making it too obvious?
"We" do nothing. It will fail by itself, stealth viral marketer.
Oh please, you really think im fricking stupid enough to be personally involved in this? I just dont want this to die before i get some more lulz out of it. The whole "8k 120fps" thing is amazing, i need more crypto babble nonsense to sustain me through this fricking gaming drought of a summer. Theres no way this isnt gonna fail, but i think we can make it fail harder, and cost more people money in the process
Ok, we all agree NFTs suck and the developers are bunch of idiots spouting stuff they have no concept of.
But then they announce it will be a gamesphere design. Don’t try to pretend like that wouldn’t change everything
Those controllers look like ass to play on
>gamesphere
SPHERE
>Making shit in vidya even more monetary
These people need to be slapped.
>make a new console
>steals the gamecube logo
they think people is stupid.
I'm honestly still a little stunned at how close NFTs got to being accepted by normies. Seems like a lot of bored wealthy people got together and tried to force this absolute worthless shit just to see if enough morons would bite. The only real way to make money in this country anymore is through entertainment or grifting, so I guess they're really scraping the bottom of this barrel. Makes me wonder how stupid things will get when infinite growth reaches its finite end.
anyone got the link to that website that has a rolling archive of news stories about NFT/crypto scams? I saw it once, it had stories like "developer spends 100k on strippers that was supposed to go to the project" and shit like that
https://web3isgoinggreat.com/
?
yes, thats it, thanks you magnificent bastard. i'll make sure people see this in these threads from now on, its a great source of comedy
Happy scrolling, pimp.
wow, theyre already on top of this story.
>Vaporware is hardly a new phenomenon in the web3 space, but the Polium project is bringing it to new heights. They announced their product—a "multi-chain console for Web 3 Gaming"—with no extant console, no design for one, and no games for it.
>The website advertises specifications for an eventual console that contradict—it will be both 4K and 8K, for example—and promises to integrate Apple's TouchID (despite the fact that Apple does not allow non-Apple products to use that technology). The product's Medium page describes their plans to take pre-orders before the console hardware is built (good sign), and estimates a release date of Q3 2024.
>Polium has also gotten flak for its logo, which quite resembles the GameCube logo. Although they claimed in a tweet that "we did not copy the Nintendo's GameCube logo", they also promised to "illustrate a new logo that is original"—apparently acknowledging that theirs is not.
It's amusing how many people just fricking hate crypto
>Investors hate it because it's volatile
>Environmentalists hate it because it uses a ridiculous amount of energy
>Gamers hate it because it's another shitty attempt at nickel and diming them
>PC gamers specifically hate it because these morons would buy all the new graphics cards so they could mine funny money
>Artists hate them because they steal art and turn them into NFTs
>The families of crypto fricks hate them because they see their loved ones lose their savings on what's effectively gambling
>Reddit launches more NFT avatars, but won't call them NFTs
Lmao the absolute state
reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/vtkmni/introducing_collectible_avatars/
Absolutely everyone there hates it.
At least the Ouya pretended to be about video games.
Yeah but god this is so fun
The discord hasn't been active for 4 hours
So it sounds like they have no idea what they're doing or how they're going to do anything. It's a collection of ideas guys who want to dip their toes into a niche that's crashing down already. These buttholes look like they're even less knowledgable than the guys who wanted to make a crypto themed resort island.
I've made the equivalent of 35K USD from NFTs (it used to be 200k but as we all know the crypto market has taken a downturn recently)
How jealous are you that I got free money and you didn't?
>I-I-I made money from my jaypegs guys I really dilly billy did!
Sure.
Do you have 35K in your bank account or do you have NFTs that are worth 35K if you can find a sucker to buy them?
Yes I have the NFTs still. Only an idiot would cash out for FIAT money right now. I'm holding onto them until I get a 1000% return on my investment (I started with only 3000 bucks to buy my first NFT)
>Only an idiot would cash out for FIAT money right now.
>Only an idiot would cash out for FIAT money right now.
>1000% return on $3000
wouldn't that be $30 thousand
you're talking to a cryptobro
33k. His initial capital isn't lost when calculating the ROI.
Whatever the percentage is until I become a millionaire. I just said 1000% because I thought that was enough.
What's the joke? Bitcoins went from pennies to 60k each. NFTs are projected to go along the same trajectory. It's only a matter of time.
>What's the joke?
Theory and practice are the same in theory, but not in practice.
I theorize that it will be practical, and since it's practical it's no longer a theory, therefore it is real.
I also practically theorize that you will give me all your money, right now.
>I also practically theorize that you will give me all your money, right now.

Your financial future. I hope you have a real job, anon - crypto isn't gonna recover for a few years at best, if ever. Youre gonna carry that weight, bag boy
Don't listen to the haters. When you get a morbillion dollars, right to the moon, you'll be laughing. Keep hodling, diamond hands!
>used to be 200k
He doesn't have a dime.
assuming his post is real (he's just satirizing nft bros) he obviously doesn't have a penny
>Tom was actively following two major Telegram accounts, known as Whiplash347 and PatriotQakes, which were promoting dozens of tokens linked to the Stellar blockchain, the world’s third most popular crypto network behind Bitcoin and Ethereum.
>But what Tom didn’t know was that these influencers weren’t simply providing neutral investment advice, as they claimed. They were linked to the tokens themselves, raking in millions of dollars from investors like Tom.
>In the end, Tom invested over $100,000 in these scams, ruining his business in the process.
>He also became increasingly extreme in his beliefs, going beyond QAnon conspiracy theories to espouse flat earth conspiracy theories, and speaking about the David Icke-inspired conspiracy theory that the earth is secretly run by a race of lizard people.
>Things came to a head for Tom in March of this year, when, according to his brother, one evening he climbed on top of his house, yelling and screaming, telling his neighbors he was going to kill them. The next night, he poured gas on his truck in front of his house and set it on fire.
>When the police arrived, Tom told an officer that the officer’s house would be next. Tom was quickly arrested.
>But while his family scrambled to get him some help, he was released from prison without any warning–on the condition that any guns he owned were taken away from him. That never happened, and he later died by suicide.
thats almost sad, but these kinds of people have been falling victim to cults and things like that forever. if it wasnt crypto, something else would've stolen his heart and cost him everything - you just can't save people like this
Most cult victims are people whose families utterly failed them.
Yea, weak minded people with nothing to lose often get swept up by the first charismatic group of people they come across who offer them the comfort and acceptance they crave. Crypto is no different - promises of wealth, being part of the "in-crowd" that knows better than all the dumb have nots, etc.
But the fact that this guy became a flat earther shouting from his rooftop shows that he was never all that mentally together to begin with
I'm saying it's less that "you can't save people like this" and more that the people who would "save" this kind of person are usually the ones who put them there in the first place.
It's gonna have holographics right? VR is so 2018.
Buddy, if your console doesn't incorporate BCI technology, you might as well be living in the stone age.
>NFT """games"""
you will never be a vidya
Really is a race to the bottom in the world of video games, man.
Bloody b***h there is slander being spread about Polium. I am a developer on the console. I am working on the protype as you speak, okay? I know these things.
The Polium One will have 8k and VR support. You want Fortnite VR? Okay we are going to have that. The processing on it will be more powerful than all other consoles combined. You are going to have many many teraflops. Every unit will be shipped with blockchain technology, that you can use to make blockchain transaction or mine and we are so able to make $500 a day mining bitcoins.
Watch for updates. We will start opening up pre orders soon and you will be able to redeem a Polium One with google play cards.
Wait we're only on web 3? It's been like 30 years. Web 1 was only in universities and labs. We must be on like web 10 now. What a stupid fricking distinction.
Bunch of israelites trying to cheat people out of their money during a recession
We used to kill these people in better times
NFT "gamers" don't see themselves as gamers but as investors. They think they're going to make money from that moronic shit.
This hobby keeps getting more and more embarrassing.
The funny thing is that even normies think that NFTs are moronic and no amount of celebrities or influencers shilling them have improved their image. Maybe making the face of the whole idea these ugly ass monkey pictures was actually a bad idea.
