Seems like you got it all figured out. Jensen the NVDIA ceo just spoke that RAG is the solution for ai hallucinations, maybe you should contact him with your solution ;) You are incentivized to provide quality knowledge because the more connections it provides in the DKG the more you will be rewarded. Fake or low quality knowledge will not make as many connections in the DKG and thus doesnt rise to the top. Fyi, KG's work through connecting and organizing data into more useful knowledge clusters. To upload data to the DKG your also paying your NFT KA (not related to JPEG in any way :D) uploads with TRAC token so malicious intents require effort and resources. I think there will be more ways to validate the quality of the knowledge created. Feel free to ask questions in the official OT tlgrm, because im just an investor, not a developer :) "why would on earth would I let randoms provide information that I need to authenticate? What problem am I solving?" Well todays ai is providing false information WITHOUT the ability for information provenance, so your kinda left with the option to just believe what it produces. With the DKG backed by immutable blockchain you are now able to verify the sources of the information and make a decision if you trust that source. "Choose your bias" so to say. There is no solution like that available other than the DKG and as far as I know it is the only way to provide this in a world wide scale for all the ai, businesses, organizations etc. to tap into. So imo it is providing a global scale platform or a "global library" for everyone with information provenance and ai ready capabilities :D The DKG is btw blockchain agnostic, so it can be connected on top of every blockchain there is.. Anyways, I suggest you to dig through the deepdive I provided and ask specific questions in tlgrm where there are people far more knowledgeable than I am. Im still in the learning phase of this tech atm :)

It’s just like ETH NFT last cycle. But without having to put in the JPEG and no need to pretend they are arts.

Unfortunately you're not early, I was there when it all popped off at the start of 2023 and prices have moved considerably since. I do still believe Ordinals will be huge during the next NFT wave, but at this point I'm obviously biased as this stuff has printed me stupid money. For some perspective, fees were very low back then so minting anything essentially only cost you \~0.50$, meaning Bitcoin Frogs, one of the OG collections is currently up 14 000x, with a peak of 40 000x. The ORDI BRC-20 was minted in batches of 1000, so it's up 140 000x, and even if you paid 10 bucks for fees, you would've turned those into $68k. I doubt there's much more of those opportunities in the space, however it is ever evolving with Runes "mining" being the latest trend. With all that being said though, I do believe many of the OG collections got plenty of room to grow and are probably the safest bet, although the space is inherently risky and everyone getting in now will eventually get dumped on. Those include: Bitcoin Frogs, NodeMonkes, OMB, Bitcoin Wizards, Bitcoin Rocks, Inscribed Pepes (Pseudo) Utility stuff: bitmap, RSIC Copies from other chains: Bitcoin Punks, Ordinal Punks, Bitcoin mfers, etc. Projects with cultural relevance due to pushing the space forward: Quantum Cats, Taproot Wizards (not listed anywhere yet). For BRC-20s it's kind of obvious, ORDI and SATS are the big ones, but there's plenty more, and some come with utlility. My gamble on meme small caps is JPEG and WZRD. Out of the collections above the most undervalued ones seem to be Bitcoin Wizards and Bitcoin mfers, but arguably more risky than the rest. There's of course an infinite amount of collections to choose from. If you're a complete noob, Ordinals are numbered, depending on the time of inscription, lower means earlier - those naturally trade at a premium, although there's a certain threshold at which people don't seem to care anymore whether the inscription number is low or not. Keep in mind that Ordinals have caused BTC network fees to spike massively in the past, it's best to buy while fees are low. Always check [the mempool](https://mempool.space/) and if you want to see the overall Ordinals trend on the network you can check [this Dune dashboard](https://dune.com/dataalways/ordinals). Wallets to use are Xverse, Unisat, Magic Eden, Leather, OKX - be careful downloading your extensions. glhf

Sometimes I wonder if I'm still broke because of my JPEG addiction, so I log into OpenSea to see what I got offers wise...I'm still broke but today [I got reminded of the GIF I animated for this subreddit.](https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0x2953399124f0cbb46d2cbacd8a89cf0599974963/103478323489189097612509126553252580695429195705548783342353586771656506867713) Seems like a fitting GIF for the PA today

Everyone seems to miss a point, majority of the "crypto games" don't even need a blockchain, seems like they are here for a free ride. Most of them rarely or don't even utilize the blockchain. For a game to be a true crypto game imo it needs to tick at least the basic boxes on what it makes a DECENTRALIZED crypto game (even with the coins people are missing the point of crypto) - First and foremost the whole game needs to be open-sourced, every aspect of it - No company to stand behind it unless its explicitly hired by the DAO, which also hires and funds specific project/game upgrades - The ingame persistent stuff like players items or skins and whatnot since you wont have a centralized database to hold the users data, the game needs to find a way to identify what X person owns, and here's where the blockchain NFT tech becomes handy unlike the NFT JPEG's. After those comes other stuff like, creators economy, interoperability, fork extensions of it, etc.. Failing at least on 1 of these 3 boxes, then its not a crypto game, they (company behind it) can market it as one but its not, its then yet another cash grab

Editors then work with the pictures, and each successive modification or edit creates a new record in a private database (ProvenDB) that is indexed to the original registration. This allows edit logs to be kept private, but these logs also have their authenticity records registered on the Hedera public ledger. The process continues until publication, where a final version is created and the photo is distributed with all the information about its original time, date, location and blockchain registration now embedded directly into the JPEG file using the C2PA standard.

Encrypting the seed phrase into a JPEG using steganography seems like the most savvy and fairly fool proof way to store a seed phrase securely. As long as the process to extract is easy to remember while also not reproducible by anyone.. I haven’t done this, just thinking out loud.

> reputable Most Bitcoin ATM operators are local businesses See the map: http://coinatmradar.com/ > Can I just take a picture of my QR code from my computer screen and scan the picture of that QR code at the machine? Maybe, but you're risking an image quality problem by taking a photo, partly because your camera lens might fuzz the image, and partly because the JPEG image format is bad for blocky images, too much anti-aliasing. Make a copy of the PNG file, save it to your phone If you're patient, you can enter the address using the ATM's touch screen keyboard

NFT tech still has potential. It's still relatively new. But yeah, thinking using it for a mere JPEG would create value was a huge stretch.

Perfect_Ability_1190

In our proof of concept, a picture taken by our photojournalist is digitally signed by a Canon camera using a device-specific key at the point of capture and attached to the image, forming the first version of the picture. The authenticated picture's pixels, GPS and other metadata, is sent to the Reuters system directly from the camera and registered onto a public blockchain as well as preserved on two cryptographic archives that use the Filecoin and Storj protocols. Editors then work with the pictures, and each successive modification or edit creates a new record in a private database (ProvenDB) that is indexed to the original registration. This allows edit logs to be kept private, but these logs also have their authenticity records registered on the Hedera public ledger. The process continues until publication, where a final version is created and the photo is distributed with all the information about its original time, date, location and blockchain registration now embedded directly into the JPEG file using the C2PA standard. A news consumer can check the validity of a picture by comparing its hash to the value in the public ledger system. The values should be the same, irrespective of where the consumer retrieves the picture. If they are not, the image has changed since Reuters published the picture, breaking the chain.

> Segwit and taproot updates apparently enabled much of the spam transactions we're seeing lately Not true Taproot removed transaction size limits, which allowed larger files (NFT JPEG) to be stored in a single transaction. SegWit allows these to be 3.7MB (with a $400 tx fee) by implementing a 4x favorable weighting for txinput witness scripts But the NFT trash only lasted about 6 weeks, because they caused a fee surge which was higher than the NFT profits The current transaction flood is Ordinals containing 60-byte JSON fragments. These don't require SegWit or Taproot. They even work on Dogecoin, which doesn't have SegWit https://www.okx.com/learn/brc-20 The BRC-20 pump-and-dump scam has higher profits than fees, so it has a longer life than the NFT thing, until it eventually collapses

As I always say regardless of anything… Each to his or her own! How you read into anything I’ve said is up to you, you just take it or leave it… Fairly simple philosophy. I’m just saying that after I ‘DOYR’ I deduced that the Hedera Network out of all the coins out there has the greatest potential for actual use case in enterprise. That’s all I’m after and bothered about as that is my particular ‘Investment’… Some like ‘APE’ JPEG’s and are down like nearly $4M dollars and some like to get the most out of where they put their money!? Each to his or her own! Hello Future! It’s good to laugh! Haha Take a chill pill and do your own thang DUDE! Haha

HABU_SR71

Come to Hedera and they are $0.000001 haha Greenest fastest safest cheapest blar blar DYOR! Seek the use of the token and its real world worth!! If it has no real world use and worth then it is a Ponzi and traded of pure speculative hopium and nothing else!… Well ok, maybe the odd Monkey JPEG! Haha

This remind me of people using the NFT to withdraw funds from FTX after withdrawals were halted. It was really really strange with some Bahamian companies/people telling you to buy these worthless NFTs that they issued on FTX's NFT marketplace. The thing was that Bahamian citizens could withdraw so they'd make you pay 6-7 figures for a worthless JPEG and then withdraw their(your) funds, take a cut and go on their way.

Money laundering. You have money from illegal enterprises on some fresh wallet, you mint a JPEG, you let that wallet buy that JPEG for 9000 ETH et voila, you have laundered 9000 ETH minus taxes (eventually)

BTC Ordinals are not well-liked out here because of clogging the network up. What measures have you guys put in place to prevent a repeat of that? My second question: Someone (who's a big influence in Dogecoin- I'm not mentioning the E word) said the following > The funny thing is the NFT is not even on the blockchain — it’s just a URL to the JPEG. Is Doginals different? How? >a technical breakthrough we call PSDTs (partially signed Dogecoin transactions). Finally, I almost burst out laughing when I misread this as PTSD *(Facepalming).* Cheers!

I don’t “cash out,” I exchange something of value with else of value (example: exchanging bitcoin for a car/house/services etc.) I don’t give a shit about fiat currency, its an unethical tool of thieft… this is not a game to me, like collecting JPEG monkeys, this is SERIOUS… in the past, oligarchs and corrupt governments have KILLED people trying to attain freedom outside their corrupt system.

Your JPEG needs more JPEG! I can’t see the writing when I zoom in!

i'd take moons over some random JPEG anyday

I suggest the NFT JPEG art scene may have seen it's peak. There's just too many collections now and not enough people care

Tokenized real world assets may well be the future, and they may well be implemented as NFTs, but when you say "NFT", everybody pictures a monkey JPEG, and not in a good way. Anyone working on tokenized real world assets should probably start by never referring to them as NFTs.

BreadnPaper

The typical JPEG NFTs aren't what I'm looking at but rather proof of ownership. If we are talking JPEGs though the CryptoPunks are the only project that make sense to me as they are an OG project.

Cravensworth_3dux

It would be nice if junk projects fell by the wayside and people started to explore the true supposed use cases for NFT. Monkey JPEG bubble has to burst eventually because there just aren't an infinite number of morons in the world. I mean there are lots of morons, but not an infinite number

ScamBankruptFraud

That's stupid JPEG isn't even worth $1. If a crime hasn't been committed here, then this is one of the worst financial goof ups ever committed.

ProjectZeus

Surely you're not suggesting that the JPEG of a monkey wearing a hat that sold for $2m won't change the world?

You mean having a JPEG of an ape on your twitter profile right? /s

Burzzzt88

I hardly doubt. Basically all trust in NFT's is gone currently and i don't see it coming back. Many people lost a lot of money because of, for example, Ape JPEG's. I presume they won't fall for that again. Altho i have seen some more stupid choices people made in the past.

NFT is a good technology but its reputation has been desteoyed by JPEG NFTs. I still believe there is potential for mass adoption of NFTs in the future.

JPEG NFTs better go the way of the Dodo. NFTs with actual utility should see some good engagement.

Maybe, maybe not. NFT's is so much more than just a stupid JPEG, it can be used for in-game items, just to name an example. They **are** late though, agree.

Some are cool, but I wouldn't pay more than like $5 for any JPEG.

JPEG NFTs are out. Bring on the utility please.

Tokenization is going to happen, but it will need to get passed useless JPEG ART speculation and start to have real world applications that isn't just apes aping into the thing hoping it appreciates.

Curious to know if anyone here bought any crazy expensive JPEG?

raymv1987

Also has had more real life use cases or bleeding into the real world than most of the other JPEG collections

tobetobii

Yes that was a bubble that popped. At least the JPEG part of NFTs. Maybe some game/collectibles connected NFTs will survive

So Pig JPEG's in Croatia instead of monkey JPEG's, ok :D

Will probably never be anything more than monkey JPEG's.

The idea behind them is inevitable for widespread usage. However the biggest application of the tech in the past bullrun (Money JPEG's) was a flash in the pan equivalent to the reception of Bitcoin crashing in 2011. "The sure was pure chaos tulip mania! but I'm glad it's dead and never coming back!". I wouldn't be so naive to think that NFT's won't come back. Or that artwork sold as NFT's won't come back. Or that even newer and arguably worse applications for the tech won't emerge.

I 100% agree. The tech behind NFTs is amazing, we just need to use it properly instead of speculating with crappy JPEG cash grabs.

People tend to forget NFT's are more than just the 1000 times overhauled monkey JPEG's. These are indeed useless. NFT in general already has usecases. For example in game items (skins) or concert tickets with unique codes. These usecases have a bright future

The million dollar JPEG phase might be over, but I think that's a good thing. Now the real NFT use cases will start to emerge like non-forgable concert , airline tickets, certificates and etc.

It's not even a JPEG, it's a link to a JPEG, if whatever server hosting that jpeg goes down, then you are toast.
