To take Beeple's $69M NFT as an example, its JSON metadata points us to an IPFS gateway run by http://makersplace.com. Source: about 2 years ago

In theory, but if the hashed file is a JSON that contains a link for the media source of "ipfsgateway.makersplace.com/[UNIQUE STRING]", and makersplace.com goes under, wouldn't it be very challenging to recover the actual file stored on the p2p network and update the embedded link?

Most IPFS hash's return a JSON file that contains a link to an IPFS gateway that is hosted by the company that minted the NFT. Sure this type may not expire on its own, but if makersplace.com goes under, ipfsgateway.makersplace.com will cease to be hosting anything. Source: about 2 years ago

More likely that the art will live as long as the gateway provider lives. Even for the $65M Beeple purchase, the IPFS hash points to a gateway provided by makersplace.com, which is an NFT minting startup. If they go bust, no one maintains the IPFS gateway, and the $65M NFT points to an IPFS hash that returns a json file that contains a description, a few properties related to the NFT, and a dead link.

More than half of the artists $100K club sell on more than one platform, the average being two. SuperRare was the most popular amongst the sample group followed closely by MakersPlace. https://media.giphy.com/media/l0MYvOjkBiEB0zjTq/giphy.gif. Source: over 2 years ago

Offset your emissions 2x with carbon sequestration. Note: not carbon offsets, pay for actual sequestration: this is a useful resource https://stripe.com/climate - note that carbon sequestration is orders of magnitude more expensive than carbon offsets because it actually accounts for the cost of putting that carbon in the ground.

Carbon capture is fascinating. Stripe Climate is the best resource I've found, check out their vetted projects towards the bottom of the page. Source: about 2 years ago

It feels like the web3 version of what Stripe is doing with their climate program. Centralized companies are focusing on their carbon footprint, and I personally think decentralized projects should be thinking about this as well. Source: over 2 years ago
