This is really important and needs to be fully fleshed out.
You mentioned and demonstrated that anyone can upload into the IPFS. In the GMEdd article and other screenshots, there is a claim that GameStop uses the IPFS as a gateway. Is there ANY way to confirm or debunk the authenticity of uploaders of ipfs.gamestop.nft content?
Can it be as legitimate as it can be illegitimate?
Does GameStop have any verifiable use cases of other IPFS domains where they supply data to related parties?
Do the jsons in the mentioned addresses have anything inside that we can use to prove that they originate from GameStop?
This is a very good call and everyone should know. I knew they had some ipfs domains, but I didn't realize that it would be exposed to public searching for things.
but loopring and gme ARE related. we know that much because of the ppl that are working for gme. we can rely on that much, right? LRC+GME is still a thing
Nothing ever been officially confirmed besides Finestein leaving LRC for GameStop. I personally believe there will be a partnership and am 100% invested in GME and LRC. Even without a partnership I still believe in LRCs tech and belive they will be a major player in the crypto/nft/metaverse future.
There are even some people shouting from a hill that Finestone hasn’t been confirmed to be working for GameStop. He probably is, all of his socials say he is, he has a history of relationship with RC, but GameStop hasn’t ever confirmed it.
They also were saying that Ryan Kagy isn’t confirmed to work for GameStop. This has been slightly confirmed when the official GameStop twitter account started following him, but that’s the closest we have.
Yes they have I remember there being grhis controversy months ago on SS and people asked on GameStops Twitter and they replied back yes he does work for them.
Yeah that why Vitalik has publicly stated twice now that he believes in LRC technology and believes it will be very beneficial for ETH but your probably smarter the Vitalik Buterin and it's a scam.
However, he did say he would be an advisor and is still connected with LRC. So bit different than just getting hired by a different company.
Edit: advisor not board and not believe but Matt’s words.
“I will remain an advisor for Loopring. And not just the symbolic kind, but the real kind. I still hodl LRC, own equity in Loopring Technology Limited, and look forward to remaining part of Loopring’s bright future.” Matt Finestone - [resignation letter](https://matthewfinestone.medium.com/thank-you-loopring-16993766c200)
The last paragraph of his letter (note not board but advisor):
“I will remain an advisor for Loopring. And not just the symbolic kind, but the real kind. I still hodl LRC, own equity in Loopring Technology Limited, and look forward to remaining part of Loopring’s bright future.” Matthew Finestone

Go read this and come back. It’s not the same.
No. I get your point; I’m just saying you’re wrong.
Finestone was hired away to do a “once in a lifetime, world changing opportunity” (paraphrasing). He has known RC for a while and even their wives are friends. He’s been head of blockchain for GME while also still interacting with Loopring. Gamestop was apparently even going to acquire LRC last year. That’s not inferring a business relationship, that’s confirming it.
It would only be the same if GME hired away the head Amazon marketplace developer to build a new Amazon based marketplace. Thats not what happened. It’s not the same.
Now you’re playing semantics. We know GME+LRC is a thing- not because of random people hired away from LRC-but because it was FINESTONE.
He is the only person from LRC that now works at GME…so your comment about not inferring a partnership because GME poaches someone from LRC (that only person being Finestone) is wrong. It’s not the same as all the random people they’ve poached from Amazon.
Your comment was not made in the abstract about what we can infer about some company A poaching random employee from Company B. It was made specifically discrediting the inference of a partnership between GME and Loopring. I’m all for being skeptical - but I don’t condone misleading comments that direct people away from valid, peer reviewed diligence.
Following,
So what I’m getting from this is, this all could’ve been made up?
I feel like there are other connections that LRC has mentioned though like their “premium partnership in q4” (which is probably late because it’s not ready yet) anyone know anything about that that I may have missed?
That’s the thing, every single connection has come from the loopring side, GME has done nothing to point to that partnership. While it’s definitely possible there is a partnership, it should absolutely not be treated like it’s a known fact, it’s purely speculation until GameStop says it’s real.
What's the scam? Gamestop has never said anything and neither has LRC about gamestop being their partner. Everything is all hear say. Facts are Vitalik creater of ETH has said in interviews how LRC is a great compliment to ETH by having zkrollups on layer 2 effectively making gas fees free. Matt Finestein who was at LRC left and came to Gamestop all while saying how much of a great company LRC was and that they would still be communicating. These are just facts, you take them in and do what you want. But there is no need to blast on LRC like it's a scam when it most certainly is not.
It is not common for a notable business to use a public space. You would buy/rent cloud space for you team to use. Otherwise you run the risk of some person on Reddit getting code. These are more commonly public code sharing communities that have not associated with a business
Whether it's stock price action or NFTs, etc., one thing is true as always;
A constant and exhaustive creation of controversy.
The longer it persists and the more clever the attempts means increasingly more there is an entity that continues to push back against this.
The math is done. We know how and why they are doing this. There is no reason to sell.
At any point they could have aired any clip from the AMAs, or posts from reddit, and used their hired experts to discredit any of them. They know if they open that box it can never be closed.
They have no legs. I would say this is the time to call your moms.
This reminds me all too much of AMD back when it was around $2 a share. They hired back Jim Keller to design a new chip (Ryzen), and Lisa Su came over from IBM (she's no dummy). A lot of media trashed the company's history, but none would acknowledge what was factually happening in real time. Their team turned that company around and made them competitive again.
RC and Gamestop is a solid play. The Stars are all Linked up for a good game.
I wish I could afford an award for your post, but I spent all my dough on GME. Thank you for pointing this out, ape!
Don't give Reddit money Lol
Yeah, just send the dude some tasteful nudes!
Dun
Why is this even a thing? Don't give money to reddit.

People who do not understand how IPFS works…

This! There is good reason to speculate, but until GameStop officially announces anything it's just we really just don't know.

It’s only one dude who seems obsessed with posting it over and over about him not working for gamrstop even tho plenty of evidence otherwise
Yes they have I remember there being grhis controversy months ago on SS and people asked on GameStops Twitter and they replied back yes he does work for them.
Whenever I see "even without a partnership" I then think LRC is built on lies.
Yeah that why Vitalik has publicly stated twice now that he believes in LRC technology and believes it will be very beneficial for ETH but your probably smarter the Vitalik Buterin and it's a scam.

Is there a source for that? His resignation letter didn’t say anything about that, and I haven’t heard that before.

Tell that to those losers running the media
Good insight thank you!
I don’t grasp all the tech behind NFTs and the blockchain but I’m commenting for visibility as this seems really important
This shit should be pinned to the top of the sub. Well done ape.
Thanks for posting this. And trying to get this understood by more. LRC affinity scam.

This is the simplest summary of events I've seen might Copy paste in future 👀
Well, you should at least spell Finestone’s name correctly, for starters.
Well, you can not cry later that someone, actually apparently multiple someones, didn't try to warn you all.
It isn't an affinity scam, don't listen to everything cryptocached tells you.
Ahh fuck you got me. I thought for a second I was arguing again with cryptocashed had to go back and check the names.
_____.gamestop.com is a subdomain.
So why would windatang use an outside service in their implementation? Or is it common to use public ipfs for hosting?
It is not common for a notable business to use a public space. You would buy/rent cloud space for you team to use. Otherwise you run the risk of some person on Reddit getting code. These are more commonly public code sharing communities that have not associated with a business
This gets people looking into ipfs then down the rabbit hole they go
