Tuesday’s announcement said Ubisoft’s Digits will stored on the Tezos blockchain, which is a “proof of stake” blockchain, as opposed to the more energy-intensive “proof of work” blockchains of Ethereum or Bitcoin. “A single transaction on Tezos uses roughly the same amount of energy as streaming 30 seconds of video,” Ubisoft asserted.
Garbage. Absolute monkey-shit garbage.
But if I watch a 30 second video it might make me laugh. NFT does nothing 😢 mek me sad.
