NFTs & Collectibles / Bluzelle launches mainnet decentralized storage for NFT content

« on: November 04, 2021, 02:45:39 PM »

Bluezelle's mainnet R2 file storage system aims to provide a decentralized alternative to IPFS. Bluzelle, a decentralized storage network, has announced the release of its mainnet R2 file storage system designed to enhance the decentralization of nonfungible tokens (NFT) and their corresponding data.

The solution was created amid the rise in concerns around the lack of immutability on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) protocol, a relatively undiscussed model of storage that currently serves as the gold standard for the majority of NFT assets including Cryptopunks and Beeple.

Twitter user Jonty Wareing shared a popular assessment on the fundamental flaws of IPFS for NFT projects.

« on: October 27, 2021, 12:05:17 PM »

The GOAT rewarded a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan after wide receiver Mike Evans mistakenly handed him the ball following the historic touchdown. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady nearly lost ownership of the ball behind his 600th touchdown pass, but now he’s paying for it… in Bitcoin (BTC).

In Sunday's game between the Buccaneers and Chicago Bears, Brady threw his 600th career touchdown pass to fellow teammate Mike Evans — he is the only player in NFL history to have ever achieved so many touchdown passes in his career. The wide receiver, apparently not realizing the significance of the ball, handed it off to Byron Kennedy, a fan wearing a jersey with Evans’ namesake.
