Pack drop now scheduled for 12pm EST, but we all know that’ll get delayed.

so this nft place veve says they have NFL license for NFTs but as i’m googling it i can’t find one reputable source that confirms they have such a license. am i wrong?

beetlejuice · March 19, 2021, 4:15am

i want moments anyway, i don’t give a shit about some photo of a football man. topshot is the future

LikeClockwork · March 19, 2021, 4:16am

some motion basketball man > photo football man

let’s say i was super smart. could i nft some one-of-a-kind 2021 ncaa tourney moments?
but i’m only super smart and i’m talking about a genius. i can record the ncaa moments on my phone, splice and transfer the data, and put them into a blockchain. did i need to create the blockchain already? or is blockchain just out there to use?

also my first sentence “nft” was a verb, as in i wanna nft that

beetlejuice · March 19, 2021, 4:24am

the blockchain is a thing that has to continue to run or else the nft isn’t really available to the person who “owns” it. so i think you’d have to buy a bunch of computers and hook em up to some stuff. that’s as much as i know

beetlejuice · March 19, 2021, 4:25am

you should definitely do twin peaks before ncaa. based on my tumblr feed, twin peaks is like 10 million times more popular

Are the cliffs here there is something inherently difficult about NFT marketplaces or this one company is grossly incompetent?

I don’t know the answer but I believe Dappers (Top Shot company) biggest problem is their shitty blockchain called Flow.

Pretty sure Metakovan is a Flow node operator.

# List of available Node Operators
## FAQ 
1. Which node should I choose to delegate to? Does one have an advantage over the other?

  - In terms of amount of rewards earned, there is no difference between Node Operators and across node types. You will earn the same amount of rewards across all.
  
  - Regarding which node you should delegate to, each community member might have their own criteria of selection: well known node operator, supporting a specific application or community run node, nodes run by large enterprises and so forth. To avoid instability and to maximize your potential staking reward, select nodes you believe will behave honestly and will have strong uptime.
  
2. Can I choose a specific time period of when I want my delegation to be active?

  - When you choose to delegate to a node operator, that delegation will sit in a pending status until it is processed at the next Epoch. You can see this information at the top of the Stake & Delegate screen in Flow Port. Once the delegation is processed successfully, it is now considered staked to the Node Operator and you will begin to earn rewards. There is nothing more you need to do at this point with your delegation. You will continue to earn rewards, which are paid at the end of each epoch.
  
  - At the time you want to unstake your delegation, you will execute an unstake-transaction. **This request will now sit in a pending status for 2 epochs before it is fully unstaked**. Once it is unstaked successfully at the end of 2 epochs, it will be available for you to withdraw to your wallet.

Buy a rare ‘Ace from Space’ non-fungible token from the poker legend this weekend, or just scratch your head at what the hell an NFT is.

I would absolutely buy this but the art is soooo bad.

anon29622970 · March 19, 2021, 3:10pm

Unconfirmed because I have all of my balance tied up in moments right now, but pretty sure I got approved for withdrawals this morning. New message when I look at dapper page. @JonnyA has it too.

Yuv · March 19, 2021, 3:12pm

mentioned it in the discord but i’ve been approved for cashouts for a while. I’ll TR if I ever get a pack and flip it.

SwankyWilder · March 19, 2021, 3:16pm

So is this drop happening today, is it worth it

Has everybody given up on this - or are you all on discord now

I sold all my shitty cards and have the dapper balance so I guess I might as well give it a go

Yuv · March 19, 2021, 3:18pm

freddbird · March 19, 2021, 3:20pm

Q is open

PM me disc link?

SwankyWilder · March 19, 2021, 3:20pm

any chance of a discord invite

anon29622970 · March 19, 2021, 3:21pm

Apparently withdrawals are via USDC, so probably want to have a coinbase account if you don’t already.
