RE: Hive accounts make community NFTs redundant
I wanted to complete my earlier thought (had to hit the road then). Would I consider hivebuzz badges nfts? I said yes, now I'll say no. My definition of nfts was 3 things: "verified unique ownership." They're verified by hivebuzz doing the work for is. If I have a 1000 posts badge, I suppose anyone could data mine the chain and corroborate what hivebuzz is saying. So, check for verified. Unique...no, one "1000 posts" badge is the sane as any other. With nfts there are mints and Metadata to distinguish one from another. No check for unique. Ownership: no. Hivebuzz gave them, but they could also take them. I give "Hivebits whale" badges to top 25 holders. I take them back when someone drops out of top 25. They don't own them. With nfts, when you own it it cannot be taken. So, no check for ownership.
Good stuff, fun thinking. !HBIT
I will complete your thoughts about uniqueness and ownership.
An NFT allows for creating a "link" between an "object" and its "owner".
But we could also imagine links between an object and multiple owners. The ownership of the object is then shared among them. Think of two persons (husband and wife) who own the same house, the ownership being represented by an NFT. If the NFT is transferable, each owner can sell their share of ownership to someone else.
In this case, uniqueness applies to the link only, not the object.
We have seen artists selling their digital art as NFTs and allowing up to N copies of the same "image" to be owned by several buyers.
In the same way, when it comes to Hivebuzz, we also have users "owning" the same "1000 posts" badge. The badges are identical but each link to a user is unique.
About "ownership", you are right. As we do not generate a transaction in the blockchain when attributing a badge to someone, the "ownership" by itself is not verifiable. Although we generate a notification each time a badge is given to users, sometimes we can't do this when the user doesn't have any posts (curation bots for example)
