Say NO to NFTs in Elite

I think it's a fantastic idea to get monetary control out of the hands of large governments beholden to the people while simultaneously having the assets of the rich backed by criminal enterprise.

Literally NOTHING can go wrong!

Ironically, using the unique code that is used to generate a system or planet could also be used to generate a NFT!

That NFT could be used to allow the owner exclusive access to said system or allow the owner give permissions to access their system. You could then trade the NFTs and therefore the access to certain systems in the future.

Dibs on the NFT for RAXXLA!

(I'm now worried I've just given Tencent an Idea when they try to take over!)

Found this very good description on Wikipedia:

So the question should not be why they are bad for elite. The question is: Why do people deem them to be useful at all?

"claim to provide a certificate of authenticity"

and as basically every amateur photographer and artist found within days of NFTs becoming a big thing, it's entirely possible to create an NFT of something you don't own. It got the point where sites like deviantart have a bot that checks the big NFT galleries and alerts artists when someone has minted copies of their art.

So... since it's possible to create a token of something you don't own, if follows that the token does not, and cannot constitute any form of proof of ownership.

As for tracking which accounts own what assets in elite dangerous, technology already exists for that and it's called a "database" and fdev already have one.

The real thing to put this thread to bed is that FDev sell their games on steam and Almighty Gaben has decreed that NFTs and play-to-earn mechanics are verboten on the platform. If you want to play with that nonsense, you don't get to do it through Valve's marketplace.

Let's be real, we all know fdev is thinking about it. We should let them know how dumb an idea it is!

This would inevitably take time away from developing and improving other elements such as performance, bug fixes, and new content. We cannot justify this level of change, we have decided to focus those resources elsewhere.
