I see that CSVCHAIN is "held in cold storage on this USB drive" a 1 GB thumb drive. This seems to imply an upper bound on the number of NFTs on CSVCHAIN. How, I wonder, does the creator of this project expect to scale CSVCHAIN beyond this limit?
Additionally, can we secure guarantees that the project owner is safely ejecting the USB drive in question?

Has anybody ever thought of something like a real world NFT? Imagine if you took a bunch of dried plant pigments and mixed them with oil and smeared them onto a canvas. Because it is physical it couldn't be duplicated or double-spent and it has a simple materials-based minting cost. I don't think anybody has done this before and there is probably a large market for buying and selling something like this. These are early days.

Haha, love it. I wonder if the typo in this line was intentional:

> By purchasing an NFT you have the right to say that you are the person that purchased that NFT.
Complete and accurate.

Where's the smart contract capability? Smart contracts are important in certain applications, which is why I store purchases in XML and do transformative contracts in XSLT. Version 2.0 of XSLT is Turing-Complete, with the added advantage that XSLT syntax is a specialized form of XML, so I only have to use one syntax for coins and contracts. I call mine Dotcom Bubble Chain.

Love it. I think Roy's making a killing off this.

This is amazing. It might actually make it easier for me to explain what NFTs actually are if they're completely separated from a blockchain and the rest of the malarkey.

I'm a huge NFT enthusiast and collector. This project gets NFTs exactly right. It's frankly refreshing to see someone seemingly get it - most of the critiques are just so bad. It's just that: I don't see the problem at all. I'd encourage you all to buy NFTs on CSVChain, ideally from real artists committed to their craft.

I'm disappointed that I read the headline wrong. I thought these NFTs were powered by CVS technology.

This is roycoding, the creator of CSVchain. Thanks everyone for checking it out.
Just so you know, I currently have a bit of a backlog of requests to manually process.
This was all very unexpected. I made this recently and then today started getting messages that Matt Levine wrote about something similar in his newsletter today. I tweeted at him and he then tweeted about it to his large following. So here we are on HN!
If you've contacted me, I promise to message you back, but it might take a day or so.

Tell me more....

I'm waiting for TXTCHAIN - NFTs backed by TXT technology.

Even better: Shiitcoin, a zero-free blockchain whose ledger is Google Sheets:

Wow, transaction confirmation times are really slow. I've been waiting for my purchase to go through for an hour now.
by emptybottle on 1/11/22, 3:34 PM
I know this is a gag, but it misses the point.
NFTs are interesting because they support smart contracts, use a cryptocurrency wallet system to manage value and ownership, can be minted in quantities > 1, support unlockable content, etc.
by scyclow on 1/10/22, 11:26 PM
Amazing website! I think it also (inadvertently) paints a very clear value proposition as to why NFTs make more sense on a blockchain than on a central service.
by testemailfordg2 on 1/11/22, 6:49 AM
Found this funny on the site, can you catch the pun.
"All transactions are manually entered by Roy to minimized mistakes."

For one helium-filled glorious moment I misread the title and thought the store for this was some exploitation of CVS receipts.
by markstos on 1/10/22, 9:32 PM
Not to be confused with the CVS CHAIN.
by brandrada on 1/11/22, 3:35 PM
So, how do I mint these NFts that are backed using this technology?
by neiled on 1/10/22, 9:01 PM
This sounds a lot like Matt Levine's newsletter today (Money Stuff). So funny!

Is this a joke?
by DevKoala on 1/10/22, 11:09 PM
Is it censorship proof?
by m3kw9 on 1/10/22, 9:07 PM
Now this is a case where I’d use a blockchain like Ethereum instead
by rfd4sgmk8u on 1/10/22, 8:49 PM
Most NFTs are pretty much a scam, but:
This is the kind of joke for people that think they are clever but don't really understand the situation. Its kind an ignorant position, reminds me of a 'brb downloading RAM' joke. Or sending someone a plastic Bitcoin. or Faxing dollar bills.
Someone made a web site, ok. Guess we don't need fancy Blogging platforms now.
