Utopia Talk / Politics / Science & Tech

Habebe Member	Fri Sep 24 02:45:05 Sort of like the random thread but specifically for science and tech, anything you want to rant about or post new stories etc.
nhill Member	Fri Sep 24 03:11:40 CRYPTO! j/k We'll keep that in the crypto corner. But I did just sell a JPEG of a an anime waifu for over $1000 earlier yesterday. AMA
Paramount Member	Fri Sep 24 09:57:25 I’m gonna try and sell a .txt document that says MAGA in it. Like this: MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA How much would people be willing to buy this for? $100? Or more?
murder Member	Fri Sep 24 10:32:56 "But I did just sell a JPEG of a an anime waifu for over $1000 earlier yesterday." I was going to suggest selling an NFT of a Confederate dollar ... priced in bitcoin. ;o)
nhill Member	Fri Sep 24 11:41:31 Paramount: Probably nobody will buy it. NFTs rely on scarcity and your text document has no authenticity attached to it. ;) My anime waifu was one of 500 that will ever be created in history ... verifiably cryptographically to its source smart contract which has a hard cap of 500 mints in the code. Never, ever, will another be created. It cost me about $300 to mint. I minted two of them. Sold one for $1100 to cover my costs. I'll probably sell the second one for $5000 or more down the road, but now I can hold it without thinking about it since I profited already! > I was going to suggest selling an NFT of a Confederate dollar ... priced in bitcoin. ;o) Hmm not a bad idea ... maybe I'll try it ;) The real work in making an NFT sell is creating the community behind it. So I'd have to write a smart contract that makes confederate dollars priced in bitcoin ... and maybe different denominations, etc. Then make a Discord community for it, attract an audience on Twitter, etc. Very lucrative gig, as you can get royalties each time one is sold. :) But for now I'm flipping images where other people put in the hard work of marketing and design. ;p
Cloud Strife Member	Fri Sep 24 16:25:18 And this thread immediately went to electronic beanie baby pogs... or pog beany babies? Either way, some form of disgusting techno-ponzi.
Cloud Strife Member	Fri Sep 24 16:28:52 `My anime waifu...' You say your `anime waifu' but you mean your url to a jpg. But you don't even own the domain containing the url, you own some nothing that has the domain containing the url written on it. What a promising source of revenue.
nhill Member	Fri Sep 24 17:03:33 The source of revenue has already paid for itself. It could literally go to zero and I already doubled my money. Haters gonna hate. :) (btw, you're absolutely clueless lol)
kargen Member	Fri Sep 24 18:50:20 Does this count as tech related? Apple threatened Facebook ban over slavery posts on Instagram. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-58645547
murder Member	Sat Sep 25 06:28:03 Apple was probably upset that the slaves weren't all massively overpriced, Apple branded, and they weren't getting a fat cut of the profit.
