@icedquinn @wolf480pl also like when you first push it into the network, everybody waits around like 5-10 minutes to be able to resolve it, which sucks. after that it works okay.

filecoin was still in development until recently, it NEVER delivered on its promise. So, the entire "this is how we turn all this shit into a sustainable ecosystem" part never happened.

That said:

I worked on one of the very first nft projects and it used ipfs. it failed, we turned off the pins. the nfts stopped working.

we revived it when it got rediscovered years later. we turned back on the ipfs pins. all the abandoned nfts started working again. anybody that owns the nft can pool resources and plop up a server and keep the nft working forever. the tech really is functional and useful.
