Really well written post man... I am diving into NFTs more so outside of the game associated ones and more into individual artists. I have stumbled upon the need for a downloadable file to be provided to the consumer to further ensure ownership and flexability of owned art. What are your opinions on this subject and how would one treat a ipfs image file versus a downloadable jpeg when going to Vista Print lets say or being assured ifps is actual full rez image file. Some nfts I bought recently are too small of a file to even display in a digital frame which is beyond annoying.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
a peer-to-peer network is by nature more secure as its decentralized, The issue of IFPS based images is the memory requirements and the provider of said memory incentive for nodes to maintain long term backups of data on the network. Nodes can choose to clear cached data to save space, meaning theoretically files can end up ‘disappearing’ or in this case diminishing in resolution (File size). in the attempt to free up space they can remove image data (Higher resolution) by eliminating system cashed when duplicated & redistributed the files resolution can be compressed & decreased.
There are some interesting work arounds that have been attempted but ultimately scaling has been the issue.
The Merkle DAG enables uniquely identified, tamper-resistant and permanently stored data You can access past versions of edited data via the Version Control System like git hub.
However for like oracle systems coordinating with an ETH based NFT platform you can more or less have the best of both. Look into this article for reference

Then an Ideal model recently announced

So long story short making sure you get a downloadable file with nft purchase can avoid a million headaches?
Yeah for now any way
