FTX-hosted NFTs break after website is redirected to a restructuring page

After FTX declared bankruptcy, the entire FTX.us domain was redirected to a page providing information on the bankruptcy proceedings.However, NFTs that had been minted on the FTX platform relied on metadata from an API at that domain, meaning that the NFTs are now pointing to broken links. Owners of these NFTs can still see that the NFT exists, but images no longer work—even when viewing the NFTs in their own wallets, or when listing them for sale on other platforms.Other projects that rely on the FTX NFT platform's API, such as the Coachella NFT project, also broke: the Coachella NFT platform shows 0 NFTs in existence. Those NFTs still show up where they are listed on external NFT platforms, although the images and metadata are broken.

Ok here's a technical breakdown of why the “@[email protected] Zone™ Air-Purifying Headphones” aka. the Snot Cannon aka. the Wearable SuperSpreader Event is such a staggeringly bad idea and a significant danger to public health if it is allowed to be sold.

Your Fedi account is probably run by a volunteer on a server with no Service Level Agreement. Downtime happens! Failures happen.

You should plan for outages by having another account on a server operated by someone else. Even if it’s just the mastodon.social account that you first signed up for. You can leave it dormant and redirected until disaster strikes.

You can cross-verify your two (or more) Mastodon accounts by putting the URL of one account into the four metadata fields of the other account. Don’t forget the https:// prefix!

Respecting human rights is not just "something nice to do" or simply "the right thing to do."

It's also not just the legal thing to do.

👉 It's essential for human security - locally, nationally & internationally.

At 1p today, I'm giving a class in Mastodon to faculty and students. It'll be fun. I'll do the practical stuff first -- how to use Mastodon -- but then I hope I'll have time to explore the architecture of the Fediverse and its implications for journalism and media and then the cultural implications for #BlackTwitter and other communities in the Other Place. We'll record it and post it.
