There’s already a way to generate unique codes and tickets and literally anything an NFT could be used for without needing to use an NFT. It was and always will be a solution looking for a problem.
And the reason we keep throwing it at problems that are already solved in a much simpler way is because it’s actually just a really cool technology with no practical purpose!
Maybe a dumb question, but is there any advantage in NFT-based tickets? Is there any problem if the ticket is stored in the airline database and not distributed in a ledger?
The big advantage in my opinion, is that you’d be able to buy or trade that ticket, in a digital form, on any third party market (or privately) without the forced involvement of a third party company like Ticketmaster.
I am no l by no means an evangelist, but I personally do think there are some interesting use cases which haven’t been fully realized yet.
Yeah when you get your ticket as NFT it can’t be stolen airline tickets might not be that prone to this (cause booking needs your ID and stuff) but concert tickets and such.
It’s more expensive because all the engineers building those ticket systems are used to doing it the existing way. Training them all to use this new technology costs money. Then figuring out how to monitor it and all that jazz is more work then would need to do. So maybe it would be good but most companies probably won’t switch over to a new system unless there is a good reason. Especially if what they already have is working for them.
They weren’t stolen on the side of the buyer but on the server side.
If your companys Server gets hacked you’d have bigger problems than the ticket NFTs of your customers being stolen (and you would know that meaning you can send them a new one)
Nope, it’s happening on the buyers side. Phishing, malware, trojan horse tokens (booby-trapped smart contracts) and swap scams are some of the common ways individuals have their tokens stolen.
I hate the monetization that people want to force on everything. Especiallt when done through NFTs.
NFT as in the code system is actually a good idea, useful for stuff like tickets and such as the code you get is actually unique.
How it was used so far is absolutely fucking disgusting and a declaration of bankruptcy for humanity.

NFTs: What if we stored backup copies on everyone else’s computers?

That is literally NFT. They just tell you it isn’t…
That is not true at all though. Why is it that cryptobros always seems to be the ones with the least understanding on the subject?

So, just treat concert tickets with more security like plane tickets? Why use much slower and expensive method like blockchain?
Its actually not that much slower and also not expensive. Depends how its implemented of course.
Can also be used for other things, the tickets are just one thing that came to mind instantly.

The large number of stolen NTFs beg to differ.
