OLD: Depending on DNS for metadata

[tarrencev]

Currently ArtonomousArtPieceToken depends on DNS for the metadata uri , which imo is at odds with the notion of being "self-sustaining", since DNS depends on someone maintaining backend infrastructure and creates the possibility of metadata being mutated after a token has been minted.

An alternative would be to store metadata in IPFS and use an ipfs uri, i.e. dweb:/ipfs/${hash}. Doing this would add overhead to piece creation but provides stronger guarantees around the decentralized nature of artonomous.

Would love to hear your guys thoughts!

That's my vote. With CIDs, you can structure the metadata sufficiently and even use schema.org to represent it.

I think the initial commit was just setting it all up.
