@kenny_kellan7 @CerealAndMalk Couldn’t agree more

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

@AustinFCBuckeye @St1ngray2 @Raikan007 @kenny_kellan7 @NBATopShot New supply is always a given and expected every season. Fixing old supply could potentially help solve some of the existing issues - how to do that? I’ll leave it up to the experts but that’s one of the potential areas of resource re-distribution.

@AustinFCBuckeye @St1ngray2 @Raikan007 @kenny_kellan7 @NBATopShot I hear what you’re saying and I would love to see TS succeed, also agree it’s a good idea to always have packs available. Just feel the product should be able to stand on its own without needing to be a liquidity provider of last resort.

@BL33v3 @NBATopShot @vj_edgecombe Nah I leave the DQs to @HorizonAllGo

Proud to have secured 3/5 #nbatopshot Signature Series Ultimates commemorating @vj_edgecombe Rookie season including the one given out to his top collector.

I guess what I’m trying to say is there’s room for all types of collectors and this is the path I’ve chosen to follow #collectwhatyoulove #digitalisthefuture

Having the ability to do this despite living nearly 10,000 miles from Philly is one of the things I love about @NBATopShot . Before all the Panini fans come after me I started as a physical collector in Australia with NBA Hoops 90-91 25 years ago.

@CardAficionado Don’t worry I stupidly burned a PP and FG for the Hexwave even though I told myself to do 2 FGs. Just wasn’t paying attention when I submitted. Will be very interesting to see where everything settles post the season as per your article. Kon is starting to look cheap vs VJ!

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

@CardAficionado Yeah 100%. But I’m pot committed already so have a couple more rares up my sleeve ready to go. The ironic thing is the ASP on the old standards are now higher than the old hexwaves so the latter are a bit useless in this instance

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

@AustinFCBuckeye @CardAficionado @coultin @NASA @NBATopShot @Th3Badlands Haha sorry don’t spend much time there so wasn’t sure if there was a specific one for announcements

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

@AustinFCBuckeye @CardAficionado @coultin @NASA @NBATopShot @Th3Badlands Which discord was this?

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

@coultin @AustinFCBuckeye @CardAficionado @NASA @NBATopShot @Th3Badlands Hmm. That changes things a little. Wonder if I should pick up more

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

@CardAficionado @coultin @NASA @NBATopShot Did they say what they will do if the entire 129 available are not taken up?

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

@coultin @VinceCarterLast @NBATopShot I feel you. Was battling for a VJ but cnmbk8 came in off the top rope just before the end (which was about 3am for me). Can take solace in the fact that there are less VJ jukeboxes and hexwaves left out there now.

NBA Top Shot Moments will now be permanently stored on IPFS, a decentralized network, making each one a collectible that exists in perpetuity – independent of any single entity.

Every video highlight, the thumbnail, and metadata.

Built in collaboration with the NBA and Dapper Labs, this is expected to be announced this week.

Explainer follows.

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized, peer-to-peer storage network used to store, share, and access files and data without relying on central servers.

IPFS is made of multiple IPFS nodes, so no one entity can control what is shared on the network, this allows immutability (unchangeable data) and permanence - but only if the data is pinned to at least one node.

Pinning is what turns "accessible in theory" into "accessible permanently."

The more a Moment is requested, the more nodes it passes through, and the more opportunities for it to be pinned organically by others.

This can also be done deliberately through a pinning service as well, and Dapper Labs would likely use one or several of these to ensure redundancy.

Whenever a node wants to share content on IPFS, it runs the content through a cryptographic hash and returns a CID (Content Identifier).

The CID is tied to the content itself – change anything at all, and you get a completely different CID – this is what makes it tamper-proof.

Moments will have a public CID, so anyone can independently verify the media is authentic and access the original files directly – no middleman needed.

Moments will become decentralized IPFS-pinned assets to ensure they remain accessible forever, so even if Dapper Labs ceased operations, your collectibles would still exist and be retrievable, no matter what.

@coultin @TopShotYoda @P8erade4u @BilloBank @LincolnCannon Hot take - I’ve interacted with Nerja a few times and bought some moments from them after some discussions. Had no issues at all, polite and responsive. To me it’s a free market and if I have to pay a little extra because they beat me to a moment then that’s just life I guess.

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

Rather than just a normal completed set like the others. Would be great if we had a way to display this on our profiles especially given that only 24 complete FG Hexwave sets are technically possible now (2/2)

[Mingster23 @mingster23]

I'm #2 on the Freshman Gems (S25/26) - Lowest Avg. Serial Leaderboard on @NBATopShot! #nbatopshot https://t.co/iVUyFnYavF

Pleased to have completed the Freshman Gems Hexwave set. Would be good though to actually be able to see this as a completed parallel set (1/2)
