Every thread on lemmy is dead

Windows will be turned into exits

You didn't even bother to read my use cases...

A mix of the best and worst of humanity shoved into a small room and given no supervision

actually having to pay off extra passengers can get expensive, up to 10k per seat, so even one willing passenger without a seat is a loss, but they accept that possibility based on a curve over time of profit across all flights calculated on historical outcomes. Some flights will be overbooked and they accept that as the cost of making sure that other flights are more filled

The reason they overbook is that there is no human way to seamlessly transfer ticket ownership between pass holders down to the moment of boarding, across all venues and services where the tickets are sold.

NFTs add a platform that is universal, secure, and publicly accessible. No other database offers that

You know, when reddit first started, no one minded long replies, in fact they were considered a mark of excellence and understanding. Long, accurate replies were almost always the top comment in non-meme subs.

Then smart phones became popular and every idiot gained access to the web

Suddenly, around 2012, you started seeing comments disparaging long replies as being 'nerdy' or 'tryhard'. On FUCKING reddit, the HOME of the nerds!

It was a real emotional whiplash to me for a place that once welcomed detailed discussion to start mocking users for creating quality reply content

That's when I realized the internet was fucked because of people like you.

You can do this with a database.

Yes because blockchain is a database. What it brings that other databases CANNOT is 1) Unfalsifiability baked in to the product at a fundamental level and 2) A universal framework for enacting contracts that are secure enough to use in court as a legally binding document (adobe paid and passed on to the customer a ridiculous cost to make their product compliant with this, for blockchain it is already baked in

You can do this with a PIN code.

A horse will take you to the grocery store too, but the NFT of the apartment also comes with the legal documents that show you are the valid resident unlike just a pin code. This also protects the customer from brokers and services from using illegal subletting as you can only get the 'pin' from the last valid owner, and that access can be traced back to the initial moment the property entered the blockchain. Also in court, discovery is stupidly easy as all transactions are public and secure

You can do this with databases.

Yes and every company has their own database system and almost NONE of them talk to each other and none of them are public ledgers and absolutely none of them operate on consensus polling, meaning trust needs to be established directly, custom APIs need to be crafted for every paired trade instance. Nearly every blockchain comes with that baked in, and has been actively tested and attacked for a decade and a half with zero failure of the underlying blockchain technology.

it’s not the NFT that’s binding, it’s a contract, and the NFT is just a proxy for the contract. The NFT adds no value.

The NFT IS a contract, this is what you are missing, and the value it adds is immense which I have demonstrated thoroughly in counter to every weakass claim you have made and you still adamantly refuse to admit your failures

You are so welded to your meme identity it blinds you to a useful and functional thing

FUCKING THANK YOU!

So an airline wants to sell every single possible seat on every plane, but not have too many people on the plane on takeoff because buying off those customers costs money, but plenty of customers cancel last minute so it is inefficient to only hand out just as many tickets as seats. The number is arrived at by sophisticated behavior algorithms that aren't very accurate, but are more accurate than current human estimations

There are also 3rd party sellers that receive segments of ticket and can and do act as brokerages in a grey market that if the idiots in washington understood would be a lot more heavily regulated

What NFTs bring to the game: New classes of tickets: Quantum Tickets. They're not really tickets till you board.

So you have normal seating for the existing classes, 1st to coach that are NFT guaranteed and once you have your ticket you KNOW you will be getting that seat. You can also transfer ownership of this ticket yourself for any reason, automatically and seamlessly through the app

Now we have a pool of quantum travelers that for the savings of a bit on the price, enter a randomized allocation of the remaining unused tickets, late cancellations, and other non-check ins.

ALL seamless, all on the app. From the outside it looks like any other boarding situation but now we have a very good chance every single sold seat will be taken.

Can't do that with existing systems, the methods of transfer are platform locked and even ones that offer API refuse to play with other services.

NFTs make a universal contract language that any business can use to transfer assets automatically and programattically in such a way that CANNOT be falsified

There is literally no other open source, cross platform solution that even comes close to offering 30% of this

Sure, but this is not a positive argument for your position.

So now you're just going to discount the time I spent setting you up several use cases?

You can prevent overbooking without blockchain/NFTs. Airlines overbook because they want to,

And the reason for their overbooking, maximum profit, would be achieved seamlessly with a blockchain based ticketing system as there is no human input lag that causes double booking

You keep arguing that there are other ways of doing the things that the programatic nature of NFT contracts offer but NONE of them provide it all in one ridiculously transparent, unfalsifiable open source way that can be literally implemented on every platform

That's why I used the car and the horse example, you are the one saying: "Yes we already have horses already, why do we need a car? And how would a horse even USE a car you silly billy?"

The really sad thing is I'm waiting for a moment of realization from you that it is blatantly clear you are incapable of achieving. Pretending to be open minded is intellectually dishonest

How magnificently naive if you think that's how it happens nowadays...

If you book through a travel agency or website, you are already buying 3rd party

NFTs would prevent 3rd parties from overselling flights (this is a big problem actually and is borderline fraud)

You know a guy who first saw the new fangled automobiles once said 'That's all well and good, but where do you attach the horse?'

You don't NEED the internet, or digital transactions, or credit cards, or any of the other dozens of technological advancements in wealth management that have come about since the 50s either but they exist and make everyone's lives easier

Tickets as NFTs are a great idea because it absolutely prevents overbooking. Did you ever even consider that? Can't mint more NFTs than the plane has seats

Why would they? They found a low energy and resource thing and never bothered looking deeper, just like all of you.

Here are some legit NFT use cases I posted earlier

https://lemmy.world/post/28250192/16471199

At the very basic level NFTs programatically enact contract law in a perfectly transparent way that cannot be faked

The use cases for this aren't normally apparent to the average consumer because of habit more than anything. I will give some use cases

A limited access club can mint NFTs for membership, allowing the holders to personally trade their access in a transparent way and provides an encrypted method functionally equivalent to a One Time Pad (One of the most, if not the MOST secure encryption method in existence) so building access can be transferred instantly between rights holders, as well as providing a secure inherent messaging between members

This can also be generalized for apartment access. Need a place to stay? You can purchase the tenant NFT from the current renter, and have access to the property securely within seconds

I use these examples because they are human friendly but the BEST use of NFTs is programatic resource management for automated purchasing systems (which are going to be a FUCKING HUGE THING now that LLMs have got access to the big money), for example:

Lets say a LLM is tasked with constantly sourcing the cheapest source of tin for industrial processes, and that all the tin producers set lots of raw material as NFTs. (In this case it isn't an ideal use as the lots are not unique, but the underlying programatic contract execution doesn't care and treats them as unique) so the LLM calculates shipping and price and automatically buys lots of NFTs to match the need, which ship out from a port halfway around the world that afternoon

Now 2 days into the 12 day shipping time, the LLM notices that there is a sudden need for tin closer to the current ship location than the initial destination and contacts the LLM of the company that posted the tin need, and offers the lots of NFTs on the ship, the other LLM agrees and the contract is made, the ownership of those lots are altered, the shipping manifest of the cargo vessel is updated and the shipping route may or may not be altered based on the judgment of the LLM handling the cargo ship. All of this happens in a matter of seconds. Once the transaction is complete, the original LLM now goes and searches for another source of tin

The biggest benefit of NFTs is reducing the friction of complex logistic changes allowing companies to find advantages that pass too quickly for humans to notice or make best use of in a way that can be legally as binding as any other signed contract in a court of law.

There are other benefits and use cases, some silly and some abstract but NFTs are so much more than a link to an png on a file server somewhere but that's ALL people like you will ever know them for because scammers ruined the name while real devs were still working on useful products.

My biggest frustration is how confidently arrogant they are about it

AI is literally the biggest problem technology has ever created and almost no one even realizes it yet

You do realize nfts were capable of so much more than pictures but because that was the lowest effort use case that's what the scammers started with, right?

Of course not, you just like shitting on things other people designate as safe to shit on

If it didn't cause cancer, asbestos is a fucking miracle material, there are people TODAY who are hugely pro-asbestos

Sure we all agree but the dumbshits making the rules 1) Have no idea about technology older than color television and 2) Are really only interested in preserving corporate profitability

Yeah well when the copyright courts agreed to Namco's patent on loading screen minigames it kind of freaked everyone out back then and people patented every dumbshit thing. For a short time Amazon tried to patent the single click purchase
