    Not related to the outage itself, but I wonder… can I take an existing NFT’s URL, add a shard (or modify the existing one?), and mint it as a new NFT?

        Wait what? I thought it was the hash of the URL, and the same URL generates the same hash (that’s why I thought about changing it by using the fragment - which I’ve mistakenly called “shard” (not sure where I heard that name exactly…))

        Every time I think cryptocurrency can’t get any dumber, and every time I’m proven wrong…

          From my understanding, and it’s likely I’m remembering it wrong, the whole idea was “you just check the ledger for the first NFT that points to that URL to know who’s the real owner”, which would make the others useless.

            So the fragment thing really is necessary, because it’d technically be a different URL and my new NFT will be the first one to match it.
